briela — my understanding is that camberwell is the turning point for the incoming stack for heathrow. when things get busy there, planes are sent on a go-around over south london for a few minutes and turn back when they see the oval cricket ground. the optimistic view of this is that while the new runway at heathrow will be hell for west london, it will decrease the need for stacking. you may also have noticed a number of smaller jets flying very low over camberwell with their wheels down; these are incoming short hoppers on the way to city airport. of course when you are in bed cursing you won’t notice the difference.

i came to camberwell nine years ago, so i do remember what a shock it is compared to rural perthshire, where we would look up and point when a bus went past. it does get noticably earlier and more frequent over easter, and then stays busy over summer, but you get more used to it; interestingly easter is very early this year and the problem has come earlier with the movable holiday, so it’s not strictly a seasonal or a light-based issue.

not much more to offer other than ‘sleep hygiene’ i’m afraid

Thanks Dagmar but want to find out who gives permission to planes air lanes as these must be licensed in some way. If Heathrow TER.5 is going ahead we may as well live by the airport. Sorry big problem for me. Friends have told me that moving up the road to Peckham Rye park roads don’t suffer from this at all. Still looking for answers.

Don’t be anxious about the planes, Briela. Yes, they start at dawn. The first one sounds like a monster. I say to my small children, look — big, big planes.

So? they say, we’re Camberwell girls, they say. We — are Camberwell — flight path — hot, hot — girls.

NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE RECENT (FEW YEARS NOW!?) INCREASE IN AIR TRAFFIC. IS ANYONE BEING WOKEN UP AROUND 5-7AM BY PLANES FLYING OVERHEAD? RAISED ISSUE WITH LOCAL LABOUR COUNCILLOR, DIDN’T GET BACK TO ME!??? LOOKED ON NUMEROUS AIR TRAFFIC CAMPAIGN SIGHTS ETC. LIVED BELLENDEN AREA FOR 15 YEARS AND RECENTLY THE PLANES HAVE STARTED TO FLY OVERHEAD-ALTHOUGH WE WERE LIVING BY HEATHROW. CAN ANYONE SUGGEST HOW TO TACKLE THIS PROB? FEELS LIKE A CONSPIRACY.

Absolutely favelas.

I note that the EDT is bringing back folk music, which has been brought back. They have an impressive line-up for their first month, not exactly THE FUCKS, more THE FOLKS. They have Swarbrick, very fluent by now on his fiddle, and that other chap from Fairport.

In Denmark our folk music is dairy-themed. Did anyone hear Melvyn Bragg today talking about our national hero, Kierkegaard? His parents ran a pub in Cumbria. Bragg, I mean.

Self on Fool’s Day! It’s good!
