I grew up in East Dulwich and lived at 57 Underhill Road from 1943-1966. In 1972, the property was sold to a developer by my father (who is now 102 years old) and a block of flats was built on the site. I wondered whether anybody had photos of that part of Underhill Road before the flats were built. Our garden extended back from the house and then turned to the left, coming out in a lane off Belvoir Road. It was a large plot, extending behind 51, 53 and 55 Underhill Road and there was a magnificent walnut tree in the garden. I attended St Anne's Private School in Melford Road from 1949-1952 and Heber Road School from 1952-1954. I then passed the 11-plus exam and went to Sydenham High School from 1954-1961. I'm researching my past to provide some information from my grandchildren's history project and would be grateful for any contributions.

  Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not the chicken. Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention chicken thigh fillets. TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time". £14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking? TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.

  Thanks to all for the advice, very glad to have this community for these enquiries. Here is how it got resolved in case its useful for anyone in the future: I had ordered some garden waste bags, and when the Veolia person came around I just asked them, and they were more than happy to take it no questions asked. 🙂

  I keep seeing a thread 'missing cat', but you've been found. Not sure if all would consider that a good thing. Not a lot new happening .... When you back in Blighty?

  In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage. 1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts. 4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.
