Ruskin

Aside from whether it's suspicious or not - I'm staggered that someone can leave their car that's worth such money is just parked up, depreciating by the hour. It really makes no economic sense. Mind you, the way some drive around here, I wouldn't dare take it out down LL.

I'd be more concerned of combustible cladding than cheap veneer.

Sorry to hear that there has been a motorist threatening others. Tempers were also high in the heat yesterday - exacerbated by the tail-backs caused by the lane closure in EDG near the station. The pollution was horrible too.

They do change runway directions mid-afternoon which may have something to do with it.

Nothing new. It's been 15+ years since we did the school run on bikes but the level of rubbish driving and discourtesy was bad even then. We would pedal down Ruskin Walk where the little darlings would be dropped off at the nearby nursery and doors would be routinely flung open as we passed-by. We made light of the journey, calling the mums deserving members of the DDC (Dulwich Door Club) but we always reached school in one piece and with smiles on our faces - whereas the mums always looked exhausted and angry. I often wonder how it turned out for them.

A leak in the Village too, it appears: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1933455

I wonder if that's why we have low pressure on the other Ruskin side of Denmark Hill?

Glad you're all ok. Keep your eyes peeled, Dulwich folk.

Sorry to hear about your car. I don't live near you but look out every morning to see if ours is still intact.

You've made my day, Peckhamguy!

I expect they'll choose to do Lordship when it causes the least disruption eg. school holidays. Not.

Given the miles of new pavements around Lambeth and Southwark, I imagine the head and/or investors of the contractors has been making a mint these last few years.

An easy way to source its author is to take a sharp close-up picture with your phone, import it on to your desktop and drag it into a Google Image search window. If it appears anywhere on the net (eg. on the artists's site), it'll show up. Good luck.

I also remember Ruskin's own albino though it was more recent than 20 years ago - more like 10+. I recall seeing many the local dogs (more than usual) being intoxicated by it - chasing it up trees etc.

The breaking down of civilsation as we know it. When the sirens wail, head for the shelters - or lie in the bath!

Echoing Sue. I'd be very surprised if the builders saw nothing - or know nowt. Much sympathy though, if that at all helps.

He needs reporting to the police soon. You might have been an elderly person falling for him charms - and potentially robbed of their savings.

Was there any consideration to the damage to benches and vandalism to the miniature railway at Sunfall this year? I can't recall the numbers that came but they'll definitely need better trafficking or there'll be crowd trouble.

"I've heard that Rye Books is moving to North X Rd" That makes more sense than LL.

"Rye Books should move in. A bit out of the way where they are now." I'd have thought if Rye Books moved to LL their rent would be a lot more than their present location on Upland. Bookshops' margins are pretty slim.

What's more disturbing is the description of the victim's injuries and on-going health problems. It might have happened to any of us enjoying Dulwich Park that day and I continue to feel very sorry for the poor man. I still think of him whenever I'm in the park.

Yep, got a pair of fully-functioning kidneys here too. Cheers!

DMd, Ruby.

I took a picture of a dog standing outside Dulwich Grove polling station on election day in May 2015 and the picture has been used in a book by the writer John O'Farrell who would like to send a copy to the pet owner (if they'd like one). If anyone knows the person, please ask them to get in touch with me via the forum.
