This topic has made me laugh, I've noticed two (sort of) references to the Lord of the Rings and assumed that this is what it would be about....


The first one - Prancing Pony. That's the name of the Inn in the Fellowship of the Ring.


Habit forming - because I was in LOTR mode, I read that as hobbit forming.


I don't know what I'm on either.... :-S

I have a very well thumbed paperback copy of LOTR and a nice hardback version that I have NEVER read.


I also have a copy of the edition of The Hobbit that was read to me at infants school - took ages to find.


Harumph! ...


How about an all-night showing of the LOTR films?? >:D<

Jeez, yes - the Silmarillion. Made Foucault's Pendulum seem light reading.


MP, surely your fantabulous name doesn't need further embellishment - what does it mean, something like Bone Eater? Very cool. But I slightly suspect you of playing Dungeons & Dragons after that orc-fighting comment.

    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
