I was away for a while I am so sad to hear about John at Chener Books. He was SO knowledgeable and posted a lot on here about local history. He was lovely and funny and friendly and sometimes even gave me free old maps! That's so sad. I would have loved to have attended his funeral if I had been here.

His funeral was private, I believe. I understand that the family didn't want John's sad death generally known until after the funeral had taken place.


There was talk of a memorial service of some kind, but I don't know whether that is still planned.

Jeremy Hardy - spoke with him once after a benefit at the Half Moon, he was a charming, self-deprecating man who had time for everyone. Friends who lived on the same road as him in Streatham found him a delightful neighbour. Plus, of course, he was astoundingly funny, especially when improvising on shows like The News Quiz and ISIHAC (and nobody will ever forget his singing!). A great loss.

So sad. Occasionally the death of someone famous who you never met feels like losing a friend, a genuine pang of loss. I saw him at a number of News Quiz recordings where some of his more outrageous and biting flights ended up on the cutting room floor. A great privilege to be there for that.

      Unusual white/grey cat in my garden

      By mumra · Posted

      There’s an unusual cat in my garden that appears a bit lost and hungry. White and fluffy with grey parts and blue eyes. Seems like a house cat. I’m behind Goose Green off Ondine.

      GALA 2025

      As far as I am aware you have shown no interest in the Gala thread but anything you find to knock a local authority, and no doubt hope that it applies to Southwark LTNs, then off you go. I'd love to hear what you enjoy.  I've been to multiple festivals big and small, in life.  The line up at the Lambeth Show looks good.  Steamdown anyone? It's a balance between many factors, amenity Vs loss of amenity, disruption including noise during the event, damage to the park, income to the local authority during difficult times.  What is your view on these matters, or is it just a case that you smell meat? I cycled in the Massif Central when there was a big creative festival and that smelled of BBQ meat.  Similarly a Portuguese festival at Kensington Park. There are some people round my way who used to complain about the music at the Horniman on a summer Sunday afternoon.  This is not comparable to the disruption due to the Gala, I hasten to add.  But I was stunned at the time thinking how could they have issues with some soul/jazz/afro beat/samba/Latino etc  Shane they don't have the same number of free events any more.  I digress....

      But I think there are striking similarities between the way Lambeth has managed the Brockwell events and residents therein and the way Southwark has with Gala..... It's how it pastes when you take text from another website (BBC) and is a good way to show that these are someone else's words and not something written by the author!

      Do none of you people want anyone to experience joy anywhere near your houses? I've been a local resident for nearly 10 years, and I love that London feels vibrant and alive in the summer and there are festivals and young people enjoying themselves.    Think everyone here needs to take a chill pill
