@126 — Don’t know whether this is some kind of freak coincidence, but the police seem also to operate a weekday service only in SE5.

Then again, this could be an unrelated Camberwellism.

Go figure!

Same for weekend breakfast. We roamed around for ages once.

Cafe in Burgess Park good. But (breaking news?) they are closing down and moving! Some fight with the Council.

Where to get a good breakfast before noon of a Sunday?

Regarding the Willow closing — it would help if restaurants in Camberwell bothered to open at the weekend. If you walk through Camberwell on a Sunday afternoon, it’s like a neutron bomb hit the place. All the restaurants are closed except for Nando’s. And they never seem to be able to fix their fizzy drink machine. Groan.

Deep cover MI5 agents have mulleted themselves into oblivion amongst the rest of them.

Regeneguru, I whole-heartedly concur. I think 0.3% might be a bit high however, if it was an infectious strain and wasn’t contained you could be looking at 1,800,000 mullets in the UK showing the same contempt for basic commonsense, self respect and society at large. Do you think MI5 have envisaged this as a viable, deliberate terrorist threat?

Talfourdite — welcome to Camberwell, and to the Whirly-gig of campaigning and undeclared interests which constitute the debates hereabouts.

I agree on the mullet. A rise above a certain incidence — say 0.3% of this cut in any region should prompt sudden and emergency European funding, as it is a clear indication of contempt for your fellow man and self, which could lead to a serious disintegration of localist and one-planet values.

surely the Camberwell Carrot, paying homage to the prodigious creation of Danny in a rare but memorable mention of our homeland. One vertical Mohican spike dyed orange with a green bottom. Alas I can’t really see it catching on, although saying that I was pretty miffed with the resurgence of the mullet.

Good one, Mark.

I suggest the Camberwell patchy. The barber pulls some hair out by the roots in random areas, and gives grade 0 cuts in small, oddly shaped polygons at selected intervals across the crown. Some parts he allows to grow unchecked over a period of years — it is left to the discretion of the individual how these are combed.

The cut is based on policies of successive Southwark administrations which have neglected Camberwell.

Florian — this year the Southwark Executive decided precisely this, as part of its reasoning for allocating several factors more to Dulwich than Camberwell in leisure centre grants, despite the fact that Camberwell had not even received sufficient maintenance money over a period of decades for its leisure centre.

The sh1t comment described the policies for a geographical area which I like, the evil adjective was ad hominem so kind of interferes with debate. But I am content just to correct the inaccuracy at hand; that I suggested anyone was evil.
