New Kent Road was closed in one direction only (from Elephant) and I heard a couple of people say there had been an accident there, but there is definitely something else going on as well. No busses going into town. Most busses terminating at Camberwell Green, or else changing destination (shortening their journey). I haven't heard or seen a plane in the sky for hours. All that congestion in town and not a single helicopter checking it out... I left work in Gray's Inn Road at 5.15 and got home shortly after 8.

Who keeps saying that? Not saying you're wrong, I have been thinking the same thing for some time, but I don't recall actually having seen or heard anything to that efect.


Just seem to be more police about than usual at stations etc..

Doesn't it depend on the way the wind is blowing, or something, or have I got that wrong?


I thought the flight paths varied.


Certainly on some mornings there isn't any air traffic.

Well obviously there's always a risk, I just wonder whether there's actually a greater risk than usual at the moment or whether something is expected just because it's been a long time since the last one?


I was living in London during the time of the IRA bombs, and it seemed you couldn't go out at all without some scare somewhere - stations seemed to be evacuated on a regular basis, and you were constantly coming across cordoned off areas. I got used to scarpering pretty sharpish.


Sorry, off topic.

Eh?


I meant, my understanding was that when the wind was in a certain direction, planes approached the airports from a different direction, and hence didn't come over East Dulwich :)) There are forum threads about it :))


And Saila never mentioned IRA bombings? Oh, maybe it's just past my bedtime, think I'll go and chop up some flyers ....

Sorry Sue, no she didn't, it was you but you had quoted her post so I got my wires crossed. Also about the flight paths, I wasn't talking about the ones directly over East Dulwich, but in the sky over London generally - I was talking about my journey this eveing from WC1 back to SE22, between 5.15 and 8.00 this evening when I finally got home, and it just struck me as odd not to have seen or heard anything overhead. It really was a strange journey, with massive delays and of course no information about anything, and everyone wondering what was going on. Very unsettling!

Camberwell New Road was cordoned off from Brixton Road to Vassell Road including John Ruskin Street, with police shooing everyone away. Saw an ambulance park up at the junction of John Ruskin Street, but didn't see any smashed cars. Seemed a bit over the top to shut the entire road down, unless it was someone running around with a gun or a knife.

Two seperate accidents one in Camberwell New Road the other at Elephant & Castle both fatalities would not call that " bit over the top".

      New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham - 2024 Edition

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.

      My Bloody Valentine at the Old Nun's Head

      By FoodieTwoShoes · Posted

      Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By Sue · Posted

      There's Gather  in Bellenden Road. And doesn't the Turkish (?) shop sell no packaging things? I'm sure it used to at one point. Maybe it stopped.
