Thanks acm. Does that mean for once the Co-op will actually have some food! I think I might have to go down to LL just to see that (only joking, please this is not an excuse to revive the whole supermarket discussion that have been revised in numerous other threads).

And just to chip in again on the subject of helping to clean up LL... Apparently this idea is trending on social networking sites across London. So said Today on Radio 4 shortly before 06:30 today. See? Even in times of adversity, East Dulwich leads the way :-).

Nice thought, but I shouldn't think there is anything to help to clean up in LL. Was there in a restaurant yesterday until about 10.30pm and during that time the damage to Londis, Palmerston, PO etc occurred. Unless something major happened after that, there won't be anything to clean up (not outside anyway and I suspect inside is/will already have been taken care of). The Palmerston's window was already boarded up by 10.30pm. LL escaped lightly I think, although there was a time it looked like it wasn't going to and we were wondering what we had done going out to eat. It was surreal to see groups of people who were obviously rioters. or would be rioters, moving up LL from the roundabout end (they were almost all coming from the Peckham direction along ED Road past Goose Green). When I say would be rioters, I don't mean people wearing hoodies, I mean groups of aggressive/nasty looking characters, apparently in an agitated state, with their faces entirely covered (except for their eyes). There was a very bad atmosphere, but it didn't look like LL was targeted as some places were - it looked more like they were heading home/on somewhere else after smashing up Peckham. Must admit, it was a relief to us, although sorry for those whose places were attacked.

As a former resident of East Dulwich, my thoughts are with you all at this time. Although I am Australian, I called London home for nearly 4 years and spent 2 and a half years living in lovely East Dulwich. To hear about the rioting and looting going on in London right now is honestly breaking my heart. Such an amazing city and one very dear in my memories of my 'walkabout' years. We have had riots in Sydney before (see Redfern and Cronulla riots) but never anything of this scale! It is truly bewildering... the news coverage downunder is non-stop and I just cannot watch anymore. I hope the madness stops soon so that your lives may return to normal. If I was still living there on Derwent Grove I would be out there with you cleaning up. I know London is not unfamiliar with riots but it's still very distressing to see all the same. I wish there was something I could do to help!!!

goosey-goosey, not sure if you were being flippant, my comedy radar has gone somewhat awry these past 24 hours, but please don't think East Dulwich has a monopoly on wanting to do something or is leading the way. We have a bad enough reputation as it is without suggesting that we're somehow better than all the other communities who want to show solidarity.


According to twitter, Peckham already almost cleaned up.

      Fireworks

      My primary issue is the noise level and the fact that it begins at dusk and continues well into the early hours, the odd random bang being possibly the worst aspect as you never know when the next volley will occur. This is no longer about celebrating a turning point as the clock strikes 12am, but more a lengthy indulgence in ear shattering bangs, where there also seems to be competition as to who can create the loudest most startling barrage of sustained noise. A new thing is daytime fireworks, where buyers are urged to forget the visual aspect and focus on getting the biggest bang for their buck. I am lucky as I am not super sensitive to noise but I really feel for those who are. As for pets, I am afraid there are now many that require serious medication to get them through- and those meds are not cheap. The fault here is not with the animals or people sensitive to extreme bangs, but with those who insist on their right to impose it on them, not just for half an hour a few times a year, but hours of it on customary dates now also spreading throughout the year.I also gather this New Year thing is a very recent construct, and very recently we also now get Halloween Fireworks events. Why should we encourage and condone a proliferating societal noise addiction- it really is isn't healthy. Let those who wish to damage their eardrums enjoy their pastime through headphones; they can turn the volume up as high as they like.  If last night was the end of it then that is great but I think there'll be more through the weekend and more discarded jumbo firework boxes discarded in the park. I hope we follow other countries in adopting low noise fireworks and drone shows instead.

      NYE is always like this. If you’re concerned about your pets, please consider seeing a vet as they can help. We give our dog valerian and play calming music, which helps especially after long walks and a big dinner. If it’s for yourself, it’s one night, so also suggest seeing your doctor for advice.  It is loud, although more predictable ( kept to evening:to midnight) than Guy Fawkes celebrations which go on for days and are arguably selfish and inconsiderate. Either way, it’s a very difficult time for many.

      Not tech ED but WD.. reclaiming parking fines which council are paying back.

      By beansprout · Posted

      Happy New Year all, I sent a request for reimbursement of fines issues during all this …. Lambeth Council issued unjust parking tickets. Got a reference number back from them.. not heard for three months and from memory expires in Jan. Been round Lambeth Council offices and got know no where except being passed round in circles. Does anyone have a contact number or name please? Talking about a couple of hundred quid. Please do delete if not allowed but sure others have been effected as well…  Thanks and Happy New Year.
