Look at the website you linked to. Five red 'ballons' with links to social media appear under the menu. Hover your mouse over those graphics.

Yeah, I saw what you meant. I spent a few minutes moving the mouse back and forth after you said that. It is easy to get the balloon you want if you put your mouse up there, but they move about a bit. I quite the look of it. I don't think it's on the mobile website though.

I'm easily amused today.
 
Hi everyone,

I am on my way home from the Tulse Hill Hotel, who were playing great background music and I had quite a few pints. This might be the drink talking, but I am upset.

On my way back, I passed the site of the muder of young Kyall Parnell. Already the flowers are beginning to wilt, the written messages fading, the teddy is covered in exhaust soot from the road. He is already becoming something of the past, although I am sure there are many for whom his death will be a wound until the day they die.

What's really p*ssing me off is that I am also a member of 'Brockwell Tranquility' on facebook. About not letting Lambeth host a festival in Brockwell. I love Brockwell and don't want to see a festival of that scale in there and have the parkrun disrupted but Brockwell Tranquility has 833 members, public meetings are being organised. Posters. Letters to elected representatives. Solicitors. Collections. It's every other message on Facebook.

A 17 year old boy has been stabbed to death on our streets and already his memory is fading.

I don't mind that people want to protect our park, I love our park, and I am the first to admit that I have done nothing about Kyall Parnell. But a young boy is slain on our streets and he's just gone. We've got it all wrong. We should be demanding answers, asking questions about how we can allow a culture to develop where this could happen. Not about a festival.

...

I am sure there is also a poor mother whose son will be locked up for this and she will carry that burden until she dies. And her stupid f**king son who after a few years will realise that while he has been the one who was the aggressor, he slashed a big f**cking hole in his own life as well. He murders someone at 17 and all of a sudden he's 40 and still having to address his family across a table while being monitored. Toss him out onto the streets at 45 and see how he gets on.

I don't know what we can do, how we can prevent it happening again, how we could have prevented it. But surely we should be more exercised by the murder of a young boy on our streets than a festival damaging the grass ...

I am sorry to highlight Brockwell Tranquility, it could be any groundswell of public opinion. Electric cars, vegetarianism, Brexit, Donald Trump. But there was a beautiful boy killed at the bottom of my road and he is being forgotten.

In vino veritas

The sober me wouldn’t have written the above, but I think the point stands so I am not going to take it down.

I would like to thank you for your comments and the spirit in which they were offered.

This thread is now 252 pages long. Similar threads exist in relation to nearby local areas including West Norwood, Thornton Heath, Penge and Croydon.

When you read those threads (and this one) what makes you think that the people who live in those areas and post on these forums have any concern at all about the issues to which you draw attention? Do really you think that they have the slightest interest at all in these issues, other than to the extent to which they might be inconvenienced by by resulting traffic closures or diversions or the appearance of police 'appeal for witness' boards? If so, please share with us whatever it is that you see on those threads or, more pertinently this one, which leads you to that conclusion.
 
I’ve just caught up on the posts since mid November and it seems to be dominated by murders, hit and runs, pedestrians hating cyclists, cyclists hating motorists, poor water works, poorly attended curry nights (a shame, you should definitely do another one) and, worst of all, poor internet.


I think Station Rise looks nicer than it used to?

No.
 
Might the lack of proper discussion of these issues on this thread be because this thread is generally for chitter chatter and gossip and it's a sudden gear change to discuss very serious crime when you've just been nattering about pizza/the local pub, or whatever. I wonder if it might be an idea to start a serious crime thread, where these issues could be discussed properly?
 
Meet 82 year-old local resident, Catherine Smith …
​
s2ajql1dzomqvskbmcpe.jpg

... on Thursday 27 July 2017, she was out in her mobility scooter walking her dog in Palace Road Nature Gardens before she left the gardens and headed home to Lydhurst Avenue, arriving at about 13:00hrs.

A young woman was sitting on a wall outside her property. She approached Catherine Smith and said "where's Tracey" before repeatedly asking for money. Catherine Smith said she did not know a Tracey. The suspect then asked Catherine Smith if she could use her toilet, and Catherine Smith said no. As she tried to close the door to her home, the suspect forced the door open causing Catherine Smith to fall backwards and hit her head.

There was a struggle and the suspect proceeded to punch Catherine Smith numerous times. The suspect then grabbed the Catherine Smith's dog lead, wrapped it round her neck and started to strangle her before making off in an unknown direction.

Catherine Smith called for help and witnesses rushed to her aid, saw her covered in blood and called the police.

Catherine Smith was taken to a west London hospital with serious injuries. She has since been discharged.

The suspect is described as a black female, about 5ft 5ins, of slim build, with slick-backed black hair. She was wearing a khaki coloured coat with a zip, multi-coloured trainers and tights.

Use a normal font please and put graphic images behind spoiler tags, like the FAQ requests. You will receive a warning if you keep on doing this as it's not fair on other users. I've edited your post.

Oh and I hope the scumbag responsible for inflicting violence on this poor woman gets caught swiftly.
 
Has the phone box outside IRA Court gone up recently? I think it’s new, but thought that phone boxes are a thing of the past.
 
A new small beauty parlour opened by the bus stop to camberwell (68,468) and next to the coffee shop Creative Aroma ...they do threading and mani/pedis, waxing...loads of stuff. Really nice lady running it. Thought I’d post as she’s a bit hidden away behind the scaffolding and there isn’t a shop sign yet. Reasonably priced too.

The hairdressers next to coop will remain a hairdressers but slightly modernised.
 
How could anyone make money in a pub if they have paid £2.5m for it? On a 30 year loan the repayment would be at least £10k per month. And, based on the Crown and Sceptre, rates would be the same again. So £20k per month before you pay a penny in wages, insurance or take a penny for yourself. Probably £30k a month will be paid out. If you’be got a markup of £1.50 a drink, and I’m not sure if that is realistic, that’s 20,000 drinks a month to break even.
 
Rateable value only £31k so ~£1,300/month in rates.
*checks VOA*

C&S is rated at £115k! That's outrageous.

EDIT: Although it is a much larger building. On reflection, it's probably quite proportional.

Thanks Crispy. I obviously have absolutely no idea what I am talking about, but surely the asking price of £2.5m makes it prohibitively expensive to buy, get up to standard after being empty for a while, and then run as a pub. It is being priced like that so it makes no commercial sense to buy as a pub, gets no bidders, is rezoned as a result and will then realise that price when it is sold for flats.

Should we start writing to Chuka and councillors to request it not be rezoned?
