I've never figured out why Lordship has become a yuppie hub, I'm in my 40's now but I still have memories of Lordship Lane as a kid when it was tacky and uncool, especially the Tesco..possibly the worst supermarket for miles, staffed by retards (sorry meant to say they were not customer centric)

When I come into money, I will be opening a pokey, dingy retro '80s bar called "glAss war" ( with the usual Anarchist "A" symbol ) & decorating the interior with pages from radical '80s literature eg " die yuppie scum" headlines & " another Royal parasite" and portraits of Derek Hatton and suchlike


A worthy succesor to inside 72


Sadly, this would probabaly do quite well amongst the clapham diasapora with their kids clad in Ironic Che & Militant Tshirts ( Families welcome until 9PM / Bar menu available/ We only use fair trade coffee in our lattes )

That's a point, did anyone actually see the body, or did the Bolivians let him go off to peaceful retirement in S E London?

How come you're not in the People's Republic of Tooting Keef, but stuck here with the Clapham Bourgeois immigrants huh...huh?

Snorky darling,


Will you provide soya milk for your lattes?


And Pagey dear heart, to refer to people as "retards" is jolly unkind and un PC and just well - "un" everything actually. I am afraid that it is to the naughty step with you. If I hear any more of this disgraceful chit chat, I shall slap your legs and get my house-keeper to wash your mouth out with soap.

hey dulwichmum, you're right I deserve a stern reprimand..it was a moment of madness due to work related stress in the City. Staff weren't retards, they merely lacked customer focus ( is that better ?)


Country is in dire need of good news like Cliff Richard announces his musical retirement..gosh that would really cheer up the nation

Darling Pagey,


I forgive you. You can come off the step now.


However, I shall be watching you closely in future (said putting hands on hips).


I don't know. I step outside for five minutes and the tone gets lowered (running perfectly manicureed hands through glossy brunette mane).


Shall I open a bottle then? Anyone for Chablis?

Yes I remember the days when Lordship Lane wasn't so yuppified! Me and sisters and friends used to go to the Magdala Friday and Saturday nights and you couldn't move as it was disco night! This is going back early 80's.


Also late 70's early 80's the Somerfield used to be International and I used to take my Mum shopping in my car.


Lordship Lane was really dreary then - nothing like now - why can't the same thing happen to Camberwell?

#I know, it was all so simple then, but has time rewritten every line.#

Come a Friday, a fellow with money in his pocket, and lust in his loins could find a companion.

For an evening. If not a night. But like Gladys Knight & The Pips, it's all changed. And not for the better.

The chances of meeting an old fashioned one-night-stand slag are now remote in the SE22 area. Or are they?

I gather a chap has to 'go forrin', and as far as Peckham or Camberwell for that sort of thing, nowadays.

I wonder what happened to the Pips?

    • On what basis do you object to the economy spend numbers in the report and describe it as "extremely unlikely"? Is that objection based on data or is it vibes-based? Where does this estimate of "50-100 vehicles" come from? The objectors:supporters ratio doesn't speak volumes. Planning applications of this sort always receive objections from various curtain twitches and NIMBYs. It doesn't mean those objections are well-founded or sensible. The planning officers and councillors need to consider the issue objectively, not just count the letters. It's not a public vote. Saying the building is "out of character" is meaningless out of context. It's an unusual building on an unusual infill site. It's not supposed to be a model for future development across Dulwich as a whole.  We are in the middle of a housing crisis. London desperately needs more housing units. This is an opportunity to get a whole bunch of them on a small, unloved industrial site on top of a transit hub. Not building it because people like the Dulwich Society complains it's "visible" is crazy.
    • Not if someone wheels over it with a pram or a heavy footed person steps on it and it hasn't been tied up or is tied but explodes everywhere. Yuk! Agree we definitely need dog poo bins back again, particularly near Peckham Rye park, along Crystal Palace Road, and by Goose Green.
    • I would also like to thank James Barber for his full outline. Given what seem to be clear mistakes in interpretation of the plans by Southwark Council planning officers, there seems to have been a lack of due diligence. 
    • Many charity shops still take and sell CDs! Many people buy them! Locally, both the Mind shop and the Vision shop sell CDs. Possibly others who I've forgotten.  If memory serves, the Oxfam shop in Herne Hill does as well, though it sells them at a higher price than most charity shops. My partner is constantly looking through charity shop CDs, and delighted when he finds music he likes! Please don't bin them!
