Really? This is a sweeping overgeneralisation. I find most Kiwis to be very obnoxious and always have a chip on their shoulder about something (small country syndrome).

My point exactly. Whether "nobody seems to have anything against them" is irrelevant to the ease of getting a passport. Its usually due to reciprocal rights.


And before people get upset and go off on the whole "racist" angle ... Im a Kiwi: was trying to be humourous somewhat.

Actually, my point was that Kiwi passport holders seem to get easy access through most border points, and get visas easily or in many cases not need one. There is some evidence that in hijackings Kiwi passport holders are more likely to be released, less likely to be summarily shot. Despite their (claimed) individual obnoxious-ness, as a political entity Kiwis don't seem to offend (and their participation in many 'peace-keeping' and other roles globally doesn't seem to have been noticed by terrorists).

Gee lane lover, you're really doing us Kiwis proud on this Forum. Keep up the good work.

Given all the different views, again, I'd speak to a professional. I don't think you have anything to worry about but everyone on here is largely speaking from their own experience (including me) which may or may not be relevant given our different nationalities and the rules that may have changed since we applied.

heheheh .thanks guys and thanks to Lady D .:D

thanks for your support .now I know i don't need to be so worry about it .i ll do what s Lady D said :)

once more .i love east dulwich forum .there is wonderful people in this area .its true what they say : Dulwich is like a community: totally true !!!!

God bless you all!!!!!

ciao :)

uncleglen and Germany ?i know the politic are good .they dont have economy problem .there is job s opportunity .if you dont like anymore to live here .i think we all have to choose what make us happy . life is too short .i think .uncleglen .do it .good luck to you .!!! :)

I don't think that legislation was created to target neighborhood chat rooms any more than anti-terrorist legislation was created to imprison accountants for poor jokes on Twitter.


I'm sure it wouldn't require guidance from the Director of Public Proescutions to see that!

It's the OISC who would be the ones to decide whether to bring charges not the DPP.


The reason it is a regulated activity though, is because of the vulnerable nature of many of the people who need help, so even if someone is well meaning, but wrong in their advice, the effect on the person heeding their advice can be significant.

That's not the case Ian. Even if you offer immigration advice for free or are a charity you must be registered. Making comments on a forum is unlikely to be a problem but it's worth pointing out because the reason giving immigration advice is illegal if not registered is because of the unique vulnerability of the people who need the advice and the disastrous effect on people's lives of incorrect advice.

    • I agree... perhaps you could also write to our local councillors to point these things out. Never know they might actually reply! Thanks for your help speaking to Monica. She may hopefully have useful contacts re obtaining a key. Completely agree - what's on (which could include some small businesses  such as Theatre Peckham, which I think may be a charity or at least community not for profit? And school fairs type thing..) plus anything the community would find useful, such as free events for the elderly (LinkAge are active in ED and surrounding areas) and lots more.
    • Thanks that’s all really useful.
    • Looks like they have massive issues with numbers of visitors too... “People have literally just arrived and are refusing to leave. Chaos. They booked out all the lane spaces but let people in. Absolute sh*t show.” https://www.the-londoner.co.uk/were-police-called-to-brockwell-lido/
    • I agree that someone somewhere must at one point decided on their purpose, however if anything was ever written down it is probably long lost, given the turnover of councillors and council staff . The Crofton Park noticeboards I mentioned above are solely for information about the council  and various community groups and activities, plus  various community related things such as the library times and services.  I think they are very bright, interesting and inviting, however I am not going back there solely in order to take a photo The ones in East Dulwich don't have much on them because ... well, for the reasons on this thread 🤣 Quite apart from the fact that these are supposed to be community notice boards, there are all sorts of reasons why they should not be used for private businesses to advertise, as I and others have already said. Yes there have been huge changes in the area, but I can't see how those changes affect the purpose of community noticeboards, unless you think that the changes mean that there is no longer a "community" in East Dulwich. Which would be very sad indeed. Anyway, I am stepping away from this thread now, I have other things to do 🙄
