Surely you mean pedant.............. ;)

There is already a local discount card which local people can get free of charge. Local business fund the initiative and I think it is a good way to help keep things local. No money changing or hassle. Just flash you card. What could be simpler? You can find more details here http://www.livelovelocal.net/ AJ

That mountain will keep you fit. See it as a free bonus if you end up in Forest Hill ;) AJ

Mr Wooster and Stock are selling this 2 bedroom for ?850,000 near Peckham Rye park - http://www.woosterstock.co.uk/details/11087 3 beds on same street selling for ?375,000. CRAZY.

The central filter lane is also often used by cars trying to cut in too early (in both directions). There have been many hairy moments as I cycled into the correct filter lane then saw a car speeding up into the same one trying to cut to the corner or get out of the other lane too quickly. It's an odd shaped junction I think for lights or roundabout but as the school is on this stretch and the train station there are many pedestrians so I'd really like to see some effective traffic calming measure in place. My vote would be for chicanes as I believe they work very well (better than speed humps) but as this is a "main road" I don't know what the criteria for calming measures are. And I don't know how many accidents have to take place before they take it more seriously.

This area here has seen a few accidents recently and just further up by Dulwich College on the College Road/Dulwich Common intersection the barriers were mangled a few weeks ago too. I am very careful going along this road as school kids also come whizzing out of the park on their bikes onto the road without looking. Being a pedestrian is not always easy either as the crossing outside Dulwich Park is for some reason not always spotted by drivers speeding down this stretch.

We cannot speculate on who or what has caused this accident but this corner is a hot spot for accidents and I think something needs to be done. I use this stretch of road most days. Only a few weeks ago as I passed there was an overturned car in somebody's garden and frequently the bollards and barriers on the pavements are bent out of shape which I can only image is caused by vehicles crashing into them. My thoughts are with both the driver and cyclists family. Such a terrible tragedy.

Have you passed your test now? :) I'll be needing a driving instructor soon (so my other half keeps telling me).

I am nosey too EastDulwichNanny ;) I asked in the cafe too this morning and all they said was that the car was burnt out overnight and they had to keep the area clear today to collect evidence. What I thought was funny was that it is quite clearly marked out of bounds yet some people still found it OK to duck under the tape and walk through 'carefully'. Such laziness when it takes only seconds to walk around the car park to get to the cafe. Hopefully those people have not taken any evidence away on their shoes!

I just did mine! Lovely fresh tea. :)

WOW!! That's amazing. So happy for you all and good luck for your trip to the States. xx

We're very lucky in Dulwich to have a quality butcher and many other local independent businesses who can give us information on exactly where their stock comes from and we should definitely support them. I always urge my clients to buy fresh food rather than processed food, and to by local as often as they can. You have to know what you are putting into your body.

ooooh I will be down there tomorrow so I'll have a look. Obviously never noticed it today as there was a very large delivery truck blocking the road. :)

I think it's been there for a long time. There are lots of them around Dulwich - I've seen them on houses in Court Lane and in the park. I think this could be "Stik" - check it out https://www.facebook.com/StickGraffitiStreetArtist AJ
