Spotted lots of things on my 176 journey from Denmark Hill today. First, I noted that the frame is now up for the triangular shaped designer house on the corner plot at the top of Dog Kennel Hill. A new Grand Design? Meanwhile, the top house on the ED side of DKH remains boarded up. A cabbie told me some time back he owns one of those houses, and the developers of DKH want to buy him out so they can build another one, but he's not having it (unless they pay him a lot more). Anyone know any more about this?


At the bottom of DKH, I notice that the shop opposite the station (at GV15) now has a Let sign. Will it be Starbucks? We'll soon find out. Sweeping up LL, I see that the little Foxtons shop signs are now attached, so there's no turning back now. And then, if that's not enough excitement for one day, I notice they're digging up the pavement outside Jerk Rock. The redevelopment of Midtown is underway.


Phew, I think I need to lie down.

The cabby actually lives in one of the houses further down, not boarded up. As he told it to me (maybe two months ago)a couple of the houses had already succumbed and sold up, but he was holding out because he had a great carp pond in his garden, and where was he ever going to be able to find a place in East Dulwich where he could put a carp pond. I may be wrong about the carp by the way, but it was some sort of fish.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.

      Anywhere locally that repairs dentures on-site?

      By Lilly1 · Posted

      The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you

      So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly.

      Had to take a second look!

      Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
