Maybe a better comparison would be my thread thanking the staff at Kings for looking after me so well when I broke my arm? I just think that publically thanking someone is a good thing and provides balance to all the reports of burglaries and thefts and other depressing things.

Hear hear for StraferJack actually.


Occasionally in recent weeks I couldn't help feeling PR has been using this forum as her own personal blog. Seriously - we get that you enjoyed your recent trip and enjoyed taking lots of photos, but posting them up here with a running commentary - and lots of people going "wow - thanks for sharing". Is that really appropriate for a community forum? It wasn't really a very inclusive activity, was it? There used to be a thread where lots of people posted a single photo or two that they'd taken - that's much more in keeping with the ethos of the forum. Rather than me saying - ooooh, I've been on holiday - would the people of East Dulwich like to see my snaps. Gosh - I think twice before inflicting my holiday snaps on family and friends.


Not to mention the fact this forum really can't afford the space such photos use up.


Get a blog - those generally interested will follow.

As I said ? I?m glad PR was unhurt in the accident.


And I think that thanking people who have helped is actually a Good Thing and I generally support it. So I?m not against any of that in PR?s post ? that wasn?t where my criticism was aimed at.


But beyond that I hesitate to say anything lest I get sworn at again. And I?m not sure what cliques have to do with it either

Personally, a simple thank you to the person(s) in question usually suffices, but each to their own...

      Uncomfortable high frequency noise on CP Road

      By se22cat · Posted

      My wife has been complaining about this actually; we are on Crawthew Grove, it started a few years back, then seemed to stop, starting up again circa last September. I'm normally at work around the time she hears it most - between 11pm and 2AM, but even when I'm home I just can't hear it, which she just can't believe, so I guess it depends how sensetive your hearing is... Would love to get to the bottom of it too!

      Perhaps like Malumbu they compost their food waste?

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      Obviously, but they may be wrong. Not only are we coming up to another population renewal drop after the continuing effects of the baby bulge generation enter a trough,  - secondary schools are closing across many boroughs - but birth rates in the UK continue to fall (not just absolute births which are also falling as a function of the bulge unwind, but births per head). And foreign student numbers are also falling. Additionally the costs of being a student are rising, which encourages more students to go to universities close enough that they don't need accommodation but can live at home. Bubbles burst, and this may be one of them.

      Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...
