Is that a euphemism?

I think we need a selfie so can see what all the fuss is about.
By the way I downloaded a dictionary of vernacular Ghanaian English yesterday to assist my email communication skills.
Apparently there is a slang word in Ghana: "scholarship" - refers to on older woman paying tuition fees for a young man in return for services rendered! (if you see what I mean).

Unimpressed. I thought maybe Lambeth Planning dept had got over pastiche.
15 - 20 years ago it would have faked up windows on the ground floor with iron bars in them, and a car parking undercroft behind. Hopefully they've at least got over that.

Sounds like the people involved at the Station Avenue/Rathgar Road site.View attachment 79582
(just noticed this, part of the patchwork of not very official looking posters currently covering the big advert space down at the junction.
Except that the Nigerian Church who own the building end up being told by the architect and Lambeth planning they can develop their site - provided they move out.
Is that Hobson's Choice or a Procrustian Bed? Teuchter will know.

Is it just me exaggerating or is it actually a true fact that every time I walk down Coldharbour Lane something else that's been there for years closes and will re-open shortly as an artisanal sourdough wine bar.
Today it's the Gresham Cafe.
Bloke said he's been there 30 years?
(just wild speculation about what will replace it, I have no idea)

I wouldn't feel sorry for him. Owns several of those shop units - and has an extraordinary facility for housing & finding employment for South American "builders". Gentrification is one way of money laundering.

Cheeky feckers! I am currently having a clear of crap in advance of moving. I left 6 bags of rubbish (all sorts of crap) neatly out in front of the house (behind the wall, where our bins live, so on private property) in advance of a rubbish collection... I go down to add another to the pile only to see all six bags had been taken out onto the street, ripped apart and God knows what nicked and just left there... all between 3 pm and 4.30 on a Tuesday afternoon! B^stards. I have left a couple of items on the street which are fair game if anyone is interested but really.... rifling through some bags and then just leaving them on the street all ripped apart is just ignorant.

I recently had two letters from the NHS to a person of Romanian name newly registered at my address.
Being as paranoid as the next person I tried to report this as an NHS fraud using the NHS Fraud website.
You will be delighted to know that the website does not work - either on Opera, Chrome or Internet Explorer. Just as you go to "send" your report it crashes - as might be expected from this useless government (and its often useless NHS).
I contacted the surgery concerned (not mine) and was eventually told that the person concerned writes their "4"s like a "9" and it is all a mistake - twice. I guess that is what happens in Romania.
I hope that is right. It's bad enough having endless calls from Banagalore without becoming an accommodation address for footloose East European migrants.

The house directly opposite me is run by a charity and is a sort of supported independence adjustment place for people with psychological issues of one kind or another. One of the long term residents can't resist a tied bag so the bin / recycling regime for me is accordingly strict and any major feng shui initiative here would requires serious strategic planning and friendly 'please take home if you can use' type post it notes. Also, worth noting that Lambeth have recently embarked on a draconian anti-rubbish campaign: Citizens do not leave your recycling out before 6pm on the night before collection or you shall be heavily fined.

I'm very concerned that 'regeneration' here means what was proposed in several of the Masterplan Drawings:
The total removal of the existing (beautiful handmade imaginative) adventure playground and the construction of some version of a playground in Elam street Open Space (the dogwalking area opposite) instead, So that the land where the playground now stands can be developed into flats.
Please come if you can - at a few hours notice in the middle of a weekday afternoon.

It's good, well worth a look around - and bloke who runs it is friendly and extremely distractingly dapper
I agree, it's definitely worth a visit. It's not cheap mind.

Kind of like "I Saw You Coming" but friendly with some cool stuff in it. (I took baby hatter in there and he nearly wrecked the place, so we got out quickly!)

Best person to ask about this; would it be Anthea ? Or somebody employed by Lambeth ?

I like the fact that there is a small display of art from the studios in the window of the car spares / hardware shop itself, amongst the regular wares on show

I would ask Lambeth or Fluid, who they employed to organise and run the consultation process and workshop sessions.
If you want a reasonable chance of getting someone who has the slightest idea what you are asking about, I'd try Fluid.

Thanks Teuchter.
Just spoke to someone at Fluid. He said:
- There has been "slippage" on the timeframe.
- The "plan is on hold pending the Council's review of the options"
- In charge of this at Lambeth (recently appointed) is.. Tom Rumble, at the "Regeneration Team".
