I know Camberwell is generally great - that's why i live here! I chose to live here rather than just ending up here waiting until i can afford to live somewhere with a tube. However my Camberwell life would currently be more pleasant if Southwark Council would be less liberal in their interpretation of "within 24 hours" for collecting dead fridges!

I really like it. The Doves was well busy the other night with a free film on... This town eh?! Tried Caravaggio yet?

Market SE5's value for money in terms of space to get good shops. 'Plenty of storage within an easy drive of Central London plus shopfront space to sell locally'. Genious. I know you want to waste time dreaming in la la land about banning criminal drivers but if you dare to look up from your dreaming, you might find a few things you could actually DO and see an improvement. Good luck boys! Listen up all you armchair Camberwell thinkers, Cowling and Wilcox have provided a real model for what you could start doing today.

My Grandfather did the same thing over Germany. Towards the end of the war the British would drop coloured marker bombs at the far side of target zones knowing that the bombing pattern world creep back by several miles. Camberwell also got heavily bombed because of the timber wharfs and basins that lined the Surrey Canal. Burning timber presented a big target so as soon as one fire was visible it would attract more bombs. My Grandmother pointed out to me that you can still see bomb patterns in the buildings around Camberwell. Apparently a stick of bombs falls in a triangle pattern with the point towards the direction the bombs are coming from. In a lot of streets you can see a triangle of postwar buildings in between the older ones. V1s and V2s were pretty random and did terrible damage all over London. Targeting was very crude.

ON a rotten note. A young man was stabbed to death in his home on Paulet Road on 3 September. Six people forced entry and did the deed (I heard on one grapevine they were all apotted on cctv and subsequently nabbed by the way). Today, opposite S&D half the Crawford estate was cordoned off - blue and white tape and loads of police around - another murder. This one a 19 year old man/boy. This cumulative killing is not part of functional society. It's chilling. And freaking me out. *honest* It's not like it used to be. And it is definitely getting worse.

German bombers would either unload their bombs a bit early and get the hell out, or if they had got as far as the docks and had a couple of bombs left on the way back they'd drop 'em on us... Dotcom Towers is still affected by the blitz - A bomb took out the next door pair of houses and destroyed our extension, which was rebuilt, but badly so we're currently trying to get it altered/refurbished ...
