Great room in friendly houseshare - Melbourne Grove


Clare-Bear

Recommended Posts

We have a furnished room going in our great sharing houseshare on Melbourne Grove. We are looking for someone from end March to mid April (a bit flexible).


We have a shared house account and buy and share our mainly vegetarian food together. We love veg boxes, bicycles and good music. There is a garden for growing things in spring, brunches in the South London sun and bonfires in the winter. It?s really important that we get along with whoever moves in and that he/she is happy to participate in the life of the house.


We are four at the moment, Clare (climber, foodcoop organiser), Sean (excellent cook, hill walker), Alice (moving out) and Ralph (adventure cycle tourer). Services we offer for other housemates: Ralph can build a wheel and always hunts for good bread. Clare knows all the best runs in the area, Sean makes the best ottolenghi food. We have two fluent French and somewhat fluent Spanish speakers - keen on language sharing, foreign movies :-)


The house has 4 bedrooms, a large living room, good sized kitchen and a garden (with a garage in it where we can store bicycles). The room is 510 Pounds plus about 140 for all bills and food and even Sean?s homemade marmalade.


Please get in touch if you'd like to see the room.


Clare

    • What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.
    • I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"
    • Can't help thinking that regardless of whether Joe wanted to be interviewed, the 'story' that Southwark News wanted to write just got a lot less interesting with 'tyre shop replaced with ... tyre shop'! 
    • Labour are proposing to nationalise the railways, (passenger trains but not fright)  Whilst it removes them from shareholders control, and potential profit chasing, is it workable or will it end up costing tax payers more in the long run?  On paper the idea is interesting but does it also need the profitable freight arm included to help reduce fares,?
