Sitting on the bok of the day
Another friend has just moved to Brockley from Norf London. This makes four!
I predict more lazy sunny afternoons in The Jack.
Was it the Barge closed down for rampant drug dealing before the make over?
I mentioned the old Catford gunshop on another thread and googled it.
Came up with this Telegraph article! Jokes!

Yes, back then it was known as the Breakspeare. A group of residents from Foxberry Road campaigned to have its licence withdrawn and succeeded.
A certain urban poster used to work behind the bar and he might have some entertaining tales to share of people brazenly trying to bust open the cigarette machine with crowbars and other such high-spirited activities.

Nice article, I can't believe that Eros House is a listed building. What the fuck?!Another friend has just moved to Brockley from Norf London. This makes four!

The Waterlink Way (National Cycle Network route 21 goes through South East London.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cycle_Route_21
Im only 12 mins cycle to Mottingham so the parts of the Green Chain Walk are convenient for me. See http://www.greenchain.com/ for maps
Recently Ive done a 'Parks and Pubs Route' from Brockley to via Ladywell, Hither Green, Blackheath Greenwich.
Or jump on a train from Hither Green to Chislehurst or Elmstead Woods (about 7-8 mins journey) and spend an afternoon there.
Ive just checked and Lewisham Cyclists are planning a ride to Windsor, and also 'The Lewisham Peaks'

My rich old schoolmate has a house in Ladywell. I'm hoping to persuade him to leave it to me in his will, rather than to his daughter

I hate to think what it was like when it was the Breakspeares!
The one time I went in there, after the Wetherspoonisation, there were ten and eleven year old kids wandering in and brazenly bumming cigarettes off people.
Regeneration innit. Its a race to fill the borough up with quality folk before the next generation of 14 year olds reproduce.

Actually had time to enjoy the sunshine today. Manor House Gardens is looking fab. It was crammed to the gills with the usual yummy mummies and dads pulling kids in wagons. I hadnt realised there was a Children's Centre housed there as well.

Am thinking of going to this on Tuesday night: -
Be interesting to hear the speaker, what with all the hot air about attitudes to the military on here and elsewhere.

ive had a knife pulled on me in catford - my mate managed to sweet talk us both out of it. Ive not much nice to say about catford, no matter what the article tries to say! Saporo is the best thing in it for sure. ive met a few dodgey peeps round catfor - not least in the lewisham council offices!I mentioned the old Catford gunshop on another thread and googled it.

it wasnt jsut the breakspeares though was it - i think it was that whole triangle that was no-go - i guess the pub was at the heart of that. it is incredible how much its changed - imagine that bijou deli place opposite nu-spice back then!

I see The Deptford Arms is no more
There were builders in there this afternoon ripping it's heart out, it's going to be a betting shop according to the large banner outside.
How many more bookies do we need on Deptford High Street ffs?

See, Ive never had a problem in Catford or Lewisham, its a different danger for girls I suppose. Ive found because there are so few pubs and places to go out that you dont really get threatening drunks trawling round in the evenings.
But then I wouldnt see it anyway, I live a fair distance away and apart from the occasional night out at Stonewall/ 286 or Dirty South- I have no business in Catford/ Lewisham in the evenings- the town centres dont cater for me at all.
As for drug/ gang shit- well Im either lucky or oblivious, but I know no one offhand who has been mugged here.
I suppose familiarity with an area means you feel safer- I wouldnt choose to walk through New Cross/ Deptford, parts of Lambeth and Southwark late night. Peckham?! Its rare to go there during the day without some charmer in a car pulling up to chirps or hassle you. The staff at McDonalds Peckham branch have to be the most put upon in London.
The most scared Ive ever been was in leafy, refined Chislehurst, and then it turns out I can outrun an Audi even in heels.

Next time you're in Dirty South, wave at the highrise block opposite, and I'll be sure and wave back.

I live just by Surrey Canal Rd and I'm not keen. Don't fancy having to put up with all the disruption it would cause while they are building it, and we are already only a short walk away from existing stations.
Been looking closely at that photo of them people standing protesting with Ruddock under the blue bridge on Surrey Canal Rd and I don't see any local residents among them
