Unexpected avian attacks?!?! Stone the...well, you know.

Let's not get taken down this weird and unsubstantiated side path about "stabby people". This isn't the Big Biker Bash, and statistically these big events are much safer and more well-behaved than a normal Saturday night of 50,000 people going out to 5,000 pubs across London. No-one is or should be complaining about loads of people getting together and having fun, and as someone on the NIMBY end of the spectrum I didn't read @Cyclemonkey's comments as being a suggestion that I no other moaners were homophobic or anything like that. What people are - rightly - concerned about is a private company gathering loads of people together but not doing the bare minimum to minimise the impact on the environment and the community. Like putting out extra bins and emptying the ones that are already there FFS!!!

Good luck in your quest finding sufficiently authentic Viet Namese cuisine in Sir Ddynbich for less than the cost of a Gregg's meal deal.

If the party that's been in power for 14 years won't fix the Royal Mail despite an MP explaining how it's failing in her constituency, then who is to blame....?

Palm trees are practically indestructible. Don't worry about the tree. I am sure some Hamlethead will be along to clear up the wrapping soon...

I've worked half my life in massive multinationals. I don't know why anyone thinks they're evil geniuses. They make terrible decisions all the time. I mean - the fact they hired me proves it...

You genuinely can't work out why food is more expensive in a bourgeois district of London than in Sài Gòn?

As an aside, 500 Degrees is now in Herne Hill and does very well over there.

A bit unfortunate but worse things happen at sea. Hope you had a nice day anyway, @Sue

The Due Fratelli pizzas are good and the people are nice.

Ahh, you're absolutely right, I think a few of them on either side of that little green have seats outside.

There is an Aldi on Elmers End Rd in Anerley. It's right next to a bus stop on the 197 bus, so if you live close to the 197 it might be convenient (without being exactly close).

Ahh, Mr N, you're going too far there. I (boringly) agree with you whenever you say Rye Lane is neglected and an eyesore. However, the cafes and restaurants can be quite nice inside, and I don't think any of them offers al fresco dining on Rye Lane itself. So it's not a crazy idea at all.

I didn't ask (I was hungry then!) but I don't see why not...

Dulwich Library!

Yes! Nice friendly guy. He buys the bagels in from Brick Lane and then fillings are applied there. I had the salt beef, it was pretty good and reasonably priced.

Your loss. Totally reasonable imvho. If you don't show up to the cinema, hotel, plane or train you don't get your money back, and they make you pay 100% up front, not just a deposit. https://www.theguardian.com/food/commentisfree/2023/jul/02/restaurant-deposits-are-here-to-stay-even-if-the-cost-of-living-crisis-eases

Can't help you with the introduction to Joey, but just a random word of thanks to you @Herbie Russell Southwark News! Your name is on a lot of the Southwark News articles that get posted on here. There's no local democracy or local community without local media, so thank you for what you do! 👍

Thank you for your work, Steve!

Leave them on the pavement with a sign saying "free" - they'll be gone by tomorrow. Or if you want them shifted even quicker, make the sign say "£20 each, enquire within"...

That extending the event beyond 3 days is not just what Gala asked for at Peckham Rye, but also what already happens at other parks in London used for similar events. The facts are exactly opposite to your misinformed, angry waffle... ...buddy. 🤣

Birdhouse Brewing has opened up in the space formerly occupied by Canopy Brew Co, in the railway arches behind Norwood Rd. Cocktails, street food and DJs. Can do a little craft brew pub crawl with that and Bullfinch Brewery and the little wine bar under the bridge at the top of Half Moon Lane now... www.birdhousebrewing.com, I think

No. After a while, they take the bin back.

1) that's exactly what Gala Festival was asking for at Peckham Rye 2) that's exactly what happens at Brockwell Park and Finsbury Park already You don't know what you're on about, pal https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/news/this-year-is-the-worst-it-has-been-residents-near-brockwell-park-hit-out-at-festival-noise-levels/ https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2018/jul/08/parks-festivals-gigs-councils-local-authorities-open-spaces-spending-cuts-music-summer

Doh!
