My ex used to ask them in, make them tea, then ask them a load of questions they were totally unable to answer.

I always have a non-confrontational chat with the JW ladies when they turn up. When I was a child, some JW used to come to our house every week. My father, who was a confirmed atheist, took a copy of their edition of the bible and used to argue with the lady every week. She came back each week because she felt he challenged her faith, and she gained from that. There were some issues at my house and she used to take me to her home for the day sometimes when it was necessary. I'm still grateful for that. So maybe I have a soft spot.


I was quite pleased to receive my handwritten letter. I might not agree with lots of the JW stuff (I'm not at all religious) but it's great that people who really believe in something reach out, and I think the people on the ground are largely well intentioned. We can agree to differ.

    • I'm surprised at how relaxed everyone appears to be about the works. They've been designed for: “capturing about 6 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of surface water and releasing it very slowly” in the park.  This has been done at taxpayer expense, to mitigate an increased risk of houses flooding, caused in no small part by the failure of Thames Water to invest in a drainage and sewage system in dire need of upgrading / modernising, and unable to cope. Thames Water have paid out millions in bonuses and dividends since privatisation, run up huge debts, and are now on the brink of bankruptcy. Meanwhile we are paying for their under investment in the drainage and sewage system.  The park will likely be waterlogged more frequently and for longer.
    • I started a new topic and would love to see you all pop over to help me- I think some excellent ideas are here. I'm keen to get in touch with the lease owners.   
    • Hey all, Does anyone know how best to contact The Dulwich Estate or Stonegate? I'm a local entrepreneur with an idea for redeveloping the Derelict Grove Tavern.  Thanks,  Dean
    • If they have altered the state of at least part of Peckham Rye with their anti-flooding measures then perhaps they should alter the planting in that area to take account of the more marshy ground. I am sure that the horticulturalists in The Horniman Park (who do create different habitats) could advise - I assume for a price as consultants - for appropriate new planting to take account of any habitat changes. If it is to be water-logged for considerable periods then it's use as playing fields would need to be re-examined. Perhaps water polo? Actually this is quite a serious issue - I used to play sport in an area of water meadow where a boy drowned in the mud under a collapsed scrum.
