All my best

Hi Team

Long time no speak!

I have had it pointed out to me that the Southwark Diocese financial report for last year (2021) is overdue. I had a look on the public record and it is 12 days overdue in fact.

Does anyone know if that sort of thing is normal?

Cheers

BK

I think people here should stop giving' Big Kev' his daily bread. What do they say about feeding pigeons and trolls? Agreed. Both in attitude and opinion, the poster's expressions and their tone are the only posts that seek to sow seeds of doubt. We have seen this approach of endeavouring to sow an...

I think people here should stop giving' Big Kev' his daily bread. What do they say about feeding pigeons and trolls? Hi Stone-Penge Apologies - I was just trying my best to clear up the confusion about which school was which; but have seen reference to “daily bread” which is the Lord’s Prayer /book...

Who are you referring to as not being part of your team? Me :) In an earlier post: “At no stage have Stuart, JRW or I……” (from a post by JDG) Has there been a bust up along the way….the others seem to think you are all on the same side. Hope it’s all ok - please don’t fall out over this. Take care ...

Hi Stuart and team BTW we are not a team. You won't have to look far to see us hammers and tongs with each other. It's just the OLSPN debacle that has us independently speaking with one voice. There may be a message there. Stuart Thanks very much Stuart - by “team” I was referring to posters/ reade...

Look at this Stuart and team! I told you it had caused confusion; although fully accept your explanation that it wasn’t a deliberate attempt to conflate it seems to have had that effect! Stone-pence: just to confirm help with any confusion caused (and I’ve just been on this journey!) - they aren’t ...

Speaking of the Lord's Prayer, has the Archdiocese finally accepted that the planning inspector has not forgiven their trespass yet? Welcome stone-pence Look at this Stuart and team! I told you it had caused confusion; although fully accept your explanation that it wasn’t a deliberate attempt to co...

Thanks JGD - lots of opinions there and they sound heartfelt. Hope you feel better and get some closure and can move onto another project soon. I’m still really confused though as to why you and Stuart thought the World Book Day thing was at this school; it’s a totally different school. I hope no r...

Stuart's synopsis is a precise narrative about the nature of the problem, its root cause and the sequence of events that led to this poor quality outcome. But Big Kev - the issue from this portion of the thread is a comparison of the behaviours of one of the Archdiocese's principal officers, Simon ...

Thanks Stuart - am Confused! Sorry - this is an actual photo and the other one was from a CGI image of what was approved at planning - is that right? [They look the same?] Thanks BK No they are both images of what we have got directly fronting the road from Bell Green into Sydenham. You can also fi...

Is the photo you posted here a CGI image of the original planned build? Have to say it looks fanastic. What does the actual building look like? Cheers now Kev https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DbsSUOWXkAA-bOB.jpg Stuart Thanks Stuart - am Confused! Sorry - this is an actual photo and the other one was fr...

Oh hi Stuart. Which school are you talking about ? I was commenting on the Fisher school and pointing out the content of the author’s work. I think there’s some confusion on your part, because the school with the building thing is different from the school with the problematic author? Sorry if I’ve...

[quote="Big Kev" post_id=194372 time=<a href="tel:1649015974">1649015974</a> user_id=14673] [ Hi again Stuart - hope it’s all going well. Best of my knowledge the building there is fine - although I’m not sure what bearing that has on the suitability of books and authors for min...

Absolutely no worries - you have caused no angst - not here at least. Angst - and the generation of it - has been a useful tool for officers of the Archdiocese in the many layers of dialogue in which they engage - whether that be with the LPA, the residents and businesses who are neighbours of the ...

Sure - am a Catholic and live in the Diocese - so yes absolutely. Take care BK As a Catholic are you happy with the appearance of the building and the treatment (and cost) to the community and the council by the conduct of your Archdiocesan education officer in rectifying the failure to build to pl...

Good evening. Perhaps you can clarify what you mean when you say "This was aimed at Key Stage 3:" as in this extract from your post: For readers who might want to know a little more before forming a view on this one, here's an extract from the author's work. For those not familiar it is a...

Dear Big Kev, I agree that it's really important to inform yourself before taking a position on things, so I checked it out. These are sentences lifted from a scene in school assembly, where Noah is being taunted by his classmates. The pupils are mocking him, under cover of the recitation of the Lo...

For those of us who sat through the OLSPN PINS Planning Inquiry, it may have come as a surprise to observe the attitude of one of the Archdiocese's principal officers, Dr Simon Hughes, to the Inquiry and the Inspector herself. Some may have viewed his behaviour as edging towards being dismissive ab...
