Great,thanks for that info re: the food bank in ED on Barry Road. I did a Bing search and only came up with Peckham, so was worried that there was no food bank in ED. I have Windows 10 on my computer as my OS, but I find when I use Google for searching it keeps asking me to install the Google Chrome bowser, but that doesn't seem to work too well with Windows 10, so I just use Microsoft Edge as my bowser and Bing as my search machine.

My pleasure. It is good to know that there are places available. There seem to be quite a few food banks across the borough. Computers can be very fussy - yesterday, having had no problems accessing a website ever before the browsers (FireFox and Chrome) suddenly decided that they couldn't open any pages on the site! I use it for local information - am hoping they are feeling better today!

Pugwash, do you know whether there are restrictions on what donations are accepted by Christ Church/the Pecan food bank?


I have a number of unopened food items as a result of changing my diet, but I don't want to take them to a food bank if they aren't going to be used by those in need.


They include canned fish, canned fruit in syrup, stock cubes, hot chocolate, golden syrup, Lea & Perrins sauce.


I've also got some hair products (mousse etc) which I no longer use - do food banks take things like that as well?

You can also drop things off in supermarkets - I know there's a basket for donations in Morrisons, probably one in Sainsbury



I think the rule is - tinned or dried food is fine, they don't take perishables (fresh veg etc) so all of your items sound fine.


I don't know about toiletries but homeless shelters might take them

Thanks Jennys, most of the places in that link are in the States?


I'll check out the one in London. The page is headed January 2019, so the info should hopefully be still current.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
