You're an angry man, Martin. But you do rather undermine your arguments when you claim that "The character building could have been sold for conversion raising easily enough to build any new hospital for cash". I have no idea what sum could have been raised from selling the previous building but I really doubt it would even have come close to paying for a state of the art flagship hospital. Just a thought.

Personally I think anyone starting a thread on a public forum, to complain about public services, and uses the phrase " as a party you have some nerve even showing up at this end of the ward," does undermine any point


The party may well have a nerver, but addressing the party "directly" on a public forum is more whining than dealing with the problem and displays some of the worst characteristics of anonymous internet forums/blogs

fair point, but not what I was trying to convey. Anybody, from any party, trying to canvas for anything, should (in my opinion) be challenged directly, face to face, or through MPs or councillors or whatever.


But to post in a direct, second-person manner is a bit passive-aggressive no?

I'm not debating whether the OP has a point or not - I don't know enough of the background promises or the current plans. To be honest I would love to see something useful done with that site. But launching a slightly incoherent rant on here, employing specious arguments on cost, and addressed to people who may not even look at the site, seems rather pointless. And I suspect that, if it had been written as a letter, it might have been written in green ink and capitals.

peckhamboy put it much better than me


Martin I'm not disputing the rights and wrongs of the case - I'm merely questioning why someone would start a thread and address (an absent) third party directly with "you have a nerve"


It just reads a bit scarily

Martin, you're in danger of side-tracking your own thread now. Even a one-eyed monkey can tell the difference between a reasoned, cogent argument and an incoherent rant. It's not necessary to know the underlying facts to assess the persuasive merits of a written argument. I am not doubting that you feel strongly about the issue, nor am I attempting to debate whether you're right or wrong. I'm merely pointing out that by posting in the manner above in response to receiving a leaflet on a wholly unrelated matter you risk not being taken seriously, by coming across as...well...a teensy bit mad.

Martin, stay on script.....there are many people on this forum obsessed with process and where something should be. East Dulwich has an epidemic of OCD. Get on message Martin....the merits of your case are the debate. My penny's worth is, you're probably right, but need to keep those Tories out!

Moved to the Lounge as it is a more a political debate than about specific ED issues. I will be keeping an eye on these types of posts in the run up to the election as I do not want the forum (especially the ED Issues section) used for electioneering however I understand that The Chair will be holding political debates in The Drawing Room.

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!

      Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
