Very cute stencil, bless. Sadly for you, there is a similar stencil in support that is being shared around the kids socials, you know how glued to their phones they are, well there is likely to be hundreds of these that have made their way to the council. To cut a long story short- the festival is going ahead and it sounds like it will be bigger than ever. It would be better for your health just to let it go, and try to imagine that people gathering to enjoy music in an open space is not the end of the world. -

How incredibly entitled of you to have the chutzpah to go over and interupt workmen doing a job they have been asked to do because you think you might disagree with it. You are extrememly lucky they gave you the time of day, and didnt threaten you until you rightly jogged on. Do complete random people come to your work place and demand to know whats going on, and ask for documentation? I bet you were quite disappointed that the reason it was being cut down wasnt linked to the annual fantastic music festival this area is luckily enought to have. Plenty more trees around the area, one that is dangerous to remain where it is should absolutely be cut down as soon as the danger is realised. If you love and cherish a particular tree so much, then perhaps you can plant a new one that may grow for many years after you have gone, to replace the one that has come to the end of its life. -

thanks - sorry if my last post sounded stressed - that's what being a Spurs supporter does to you! I'd also be interested to hear about food in the picture house, though tbh there are so many places nearby for anything from a nibble to a blow out I'd probably head elsewhere unless the PH food is really good. -

It is having its whole character and inside ripped out and changed to suit the mundane, bland middle class enclave it now finds itself in. Its been rubbish for ages anyway, Antic have been treading water since the pandemic and couldnt afford much upkeep of their pubs whilst pushing prices up. By the time they did finally go bankrupt it was almost as expensive as all the other spectaularly boring and stuck up pubs nearby, and was filled with families looking awkward if a nearby Hooray Henry uttered a swear word. Whoever called it 'iconic' must literally only ever visit the EDT and not have a clue about public houses, as there are thousands of pubs across London that would be more deserving of the 'iconic' label 🤣. I expect there be will be focus on food, 'small plates' etc. No more sport- apart from 'rugger' of course! The middle classes will love it, theyll merrily trundle in with a pram and a dog in tow, remark about how different it was to the 'EDT', but then not even flinch when dropping £100+ on a few plates of roast dinner and a round of drinks. The only remotely decent pub left in the area is The Castle. Im actually amazed it is still going in its current guise. They are part of a small pubco and their most recent opening on Kirkdale in Sydenham they tried to go more upmarket, but its always empty. How long before The Castle too is swept away and rebuilt to suit the moneyed middle classes?
