Well done. There's only one CPR in Britain according to Streetmap. The larger than life Mr M(alcolm) Allison was manager of Crystal Palace at that time, which is presumably the reason behind the name (as Ted Max suggested, simultaneously).

No idea but an aquaintance of mine once lived there and if memory serves me well it has got a sort of mini-church type structure in the garden. It's owned or was owned by the same guy who owns/owned the property in Upland Road that has the petrol pumps outside. Oops! that could have been another question.

A close friend assures me that the houses in Upland and Dunstans both have clock faces with petrol pumps outside and were both owned and built by the same person. The folly in question at Dunstans is, as previously mentioned, fully operational with chimes on the hour, complete with weather vane, arched doorway and stained glass window. Very impressive I think.

I'm sure it's very impressive, but when you live near it (as I used to) it's awful having a clocktower chime throughout the night - the sound travels unbelievably and it used to wake me up in the middle of the night (and remind me what time it was dare I should wake up early ;-)). Fortunately I was only renting for a while; so used earplugs... but if I'd lived there as a 'proper' resident, I would have tried to see if it could be silenced at night. I don't know how their neighbours stand it!

I used to know a guy (complete tosser I might add) who rented on of the flats in that Dunstan's Road house. Went to a party there once, and loved the little tower in the garden! The flat itself was beautiful too! Thankfully he got thrown out and hasn't been heard of since!

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
