(This message will no longer be an announcement i.e. at the top of the listings, after lunchtime today (Monday))


I'm happy to announce a new area of the forum called The Lounge. After listening to what people have to say there's obviously a need for an area where people who use this forum can talk about things that aren't related to East Dulwich. A place to talk about music, meeting up, flirting, the benefits of Omega 3, the situation in Iran etc etc


You may hear me say every now and then "Take it to The Lounge" which is the polite way for me to say you're going off topic please go and take this elsewhere. I may also move or split some threads over to the Lounge as they will be more comfortable there.


I hope it works and thank you for using the Forum

Dear Administrator and Mr Keef,


Hurrah! At last, somewhere for 'the chattering classes' (my husband can be so nasty sometimes) - to chatter! Can I have the big aubergine coloured velvet armchair near the window? Mine is a big milkey latte and a large slice of blueberry cheesecake, .... oh rats, I have to work. Nevermind, I can chat later - that shall me my chair though, OK? I can't wait to hear all of Ms Polly Dorners news.........

How about a Garden Lounge area? Then those of us who like to scrabble around in the soil can have a great forum for flower talk........ (I can hear the collective groan of the under 30's.... or am I being appallingly ageist? )


Hurrah for ED and all our differing interests. Arcade fire and clematis armandii..beautiful combination. And it's sunny outside !!! I'm going off to commune with my crocuses (croci ? no )


skinny latte with almond croissant and a nice herbaceous border please.....

      Cutting down of the Cherry Tree Peckham Rye Park

      By tiddles · Posted

      But they were going to cut down a tree that had no notice on it ? Either way thank goodness people intervened. My total lack of confidence in Southwark tree dept is justified it would seem…

      Hopefully the confusion won’t lead to injury.

      Cutting down of the Cherry Tree Peckham Rye Park

      By fishboy · Posted

      To clarify a few points- I didn't just happen to be passing, I saw the workmen setting up equipment worryingly close to the tree from my front window, so put my shoes on and headed over there as quickly as possible just in case. Unfortunately they had already lopped a few branches off in the two minutes it took me to get there. Although I didn't see them attach a notice, the wording on the notice pictured above has the same terminology that they used with me - fungal brackets - so presumably it was them. I have no idea who removed the sign, or why. Also worth mentioning that they were third party contractors, carrying out work orders from the council. I'm a bit confused by the 'mistaken tree' comments, as Councillor Renata Hamvas posted on a Facebook thread that she had raised the issue with the relevant council officers, and that the response she received is that the tree does have a fungal infection. So there seems to be conflicting info there, and I'm concerned that the tree is still in danger.

      To be fair, do we know who put the notice on the wrong tree? The people wielding chainsaws almost certainly won't be the experts  who identify  the problems with the trees? They just go along and hack down what they're told to hack down? I might be wrong, but whilst actual tree surgery needs expertise, I wouldn't have thought hacking down a whole tree did? Apart from knowing how to use a chainsaw, obviously.
