Mostly Camberwell related stuff with the odd rant thrown in for good measure.

If you live in the London Borough of either Southwark or Lambeth, you qualify for membership (free!) of the OV Local scheme at the Old Vic. Main perk is 20% off tickets under certain circumstances. But here’s quite a nice food offer, very tempting for me, given it’s on my way home from town.

@seatsixtyone.bsky.social happy new year Mr 61. I finally persuaded some friends to go inter railing with the family & they just pointed out this from the myinterrail.co.uk website. I’m assuming it just means we’ll need to use the www.interrail.eu in future but have I missed an announcement?

This can't really be shared enough. Memorise the detail, tell people who need to know.
“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?”
Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth.
Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.

Two Camberwell pubs in make the 100 top food pubs . I’ll let you take a punt which one’s made it. (Hint: it ain’t the Hermit’s Cave, which should win every award IMHO).
In fairness it is about the good and I’ve heard very good things about the Kerfield.
