Where were/are you in the States? There was an interesting programme last night on BBC4 about the regeneration of Manhattan, which was pertinent to Camberwell. They got rid of the perceived/felt fear first. Then new immigrants came which meant there were eyes and ears everywhere e.g. Koreans traders on street corners 24 hours a day. More people bring up their nippers there in the city now rather than move out to the suburbs. Manhattan has lost some soul but has fewer deaths.

The architectural trend round here is after all towards a society composed of a series of secure and bland-looking residential pods with room only for eating, sleeping, showering and Sky TV. Although I don't remember the last time I saw a piano in a pub, restaurant or even a church in SE5... It is heartening that somebody bought an acoustic piano, rather than a Clavinova, in our area.

That piano is in the corridor of a flat 30m from Lo J station. It belongs to my creator's cousin. He bought it on e-bay for £60, paid £230 to get it delivered to his flat only to find that they couldn't get it up the stairs. Now, four months later, their washing machine has broken and the only way they can replace it is if they clear the piano out of the ground floor corridor. The Creator's cousin can't bring himself to destroy the piano so he is givig it away for 99p on ebay. It will be a bargain but only if it's bought locally and hence the Creator has instructed me to put links to his auction on the local forums where I exist. Feel free ro remove it if you class it as spam Big Man but I think the tale merits the plug. I live in Allendale Close. That piano is in the corridor of a flat 30m from Lo J station.

It showed Camberwell at its best - diverse, welcoming, non judgemental, slightly strange but all good fun. I was sad to see that the doors and windows of the Old Dispensary have been boarded up - I hope this doesnt mean it earmarked for demolition. Bonkers fest was great on the Green yesterday.
