They seem to absolutely love drumming at Alleyn's school with little care or consideration for local residents as they send their students marching round and round the field banging their big drums as loud as they can. Grrrr.


EDIT:

Apologies - as others suggested (below), I didn't connect the context and wouldn't have posted about it for this solemn occasion. Mis-timed complaint about something that happens throughout the year.

Others gave their lives so that you had the freedom of speech. Rememberance Sunday is one day in the year when we show our respect to those that served and remember all those who died in war.


This morning over 300 cadets and officers from Dulwich College and Alleyn's schools, witnessed by their families and the residents of Dulwich, paraded and marched. The young men and women of those schools have shown dignity, integrity and respect this morning. It is poignant that this happens to also be the first Rememberance parade since Dulwich College Army section re badged to the Welsh Guards in recognition of Lt Mark Evison from the Welsh Guards, a former pupil of Dulwich College, who sadly was killed in 2009 from action in Afghanistan.


I hope that people will think before they post messages on the forum that may offend others.

I agree, the OP's made a very crass mistake, obviously, and is probably deeply embarrassed by it. If s/he had objected to Remembrance Day specifically then the lectures above would be deserved, as it is edhistory's correction would have sufficed.

Agree. But following your logic, shouldn't Peckhampam's point also have sufficed?...

Touch?! Fair point - guess I was planning to say something myself, saw PP's comment so, already in commenting mode, agreed. Though to be fair (to myself) nothing that wrong with agreeing with someone; what was wrong about the succession of replies to the OP was that we went from "Don't be silly it's Remembrance Day" to accusations of disrespect and offensiveness.

Have you never made a mistake in your life? Get over yourself.

I think that was sarcasm

    • I’ve noticed a lot more of that green grass that looks a bit like corn or barley. Is it naturally-occurring or should I suspect the hand of a “guerrilla gardener”?

    • I think there's the usual number this year -15-20 - screeching around high & low, zooming between the houses and generally being awesome. The back gardens between Colyton, Dovedale, Mundania & Shelbury always seem to have a colony in the summer - no idea where their nests are though. There's also what appears to be a solitary bat that zooms back & forth along the front gardens of Colyton, unless it is several but you never see two at once!
    • Thanksxsll ive decided to return to original clinic with my questions.
