Sorry I got buildings on Denmark Hill mixed up; the one I referred to saying it’s going to be a wardens’ and police outpost is further up the hill past the junction to Denmark Hill station, under the new ishblock of modernish looking flats before the ex kwik fit site that’s now a hole in the ground…

Another is planned for Castlemead. Toilet on the Green: Here's a picture of the one we knew and loved: http://www.flickr.com/photos/markdodds/183556482/ The replacement is going to be the type that pops up out of the ground. They're some sort of advanced pissoir, I think women can't use them without great personal exposure, apparently there's some in Soho. I've been told about them again and again but having never seen one so can't get my imagination around the idea. The snooker hall. IF it's rebuilt in a good building and IF it's run well and IF it incorporates more facilities it could be a great ASSET to the area. I used to think I'm not a gambling man until I realised that I set up a pub in CAMBERWELL and that's the biggest gamble I could ever have taken but I wouldn't bet on this snooker regen being a good one. 5 Camberwell Green: hahahahahahahahahaha! Theyr'e asking for a PREMIUM to take on a building site that's nowhere near finished. Jokers all. The paint job on the shop on Denmark Hill is for a new police and community wardens’ outpost.

I decided this morning, as I was sitting on a bus on Walworth Road, that 'immotile' was a better word to use than 'immobile'. I like the idea that all the buses, cars, and people are spores or microorganisms moving along (or not) the veins of a greater being - ie the city. Happy Bank Holiday weekend everyone! I feel a bit giddy. Peter — my apologies for even considering that you might have made a typo!

Thought it might be something to do with the open gardens last weekend but have just seen another coach go past today..... what with this and the new church st hotel have we finally made our mark on the tourism market?? I’ve seen it all now.… cycled past a coach parked outside The Grove last week and thought “how annoying — some coach company using the road as a parking place til they have to go and pick up their load from whatever non-camberwell tourist site” but when I’d passed it I noticed that it had deposited a group of japanese tourists who were merrily taking photos of all the houses and the gardens through the gates!

Yes, up until around a year ago, I also used to get similar guys dressed in fishing gear knocking on my door. It was only during weekdays though. Apparently, they drive up from Devon or Dorset or somewhere, with a refrigerated truck. If you want some, you can go back to the truck with them or wait for them to bring the fish to your door. So it's not a classic Camberwell door-knock con. I bought some fish from them for twenty quid: got loads and it tasted fine. @the Duke.
