Just phoned Thames Water : there is a burst main in Sydenham Hill SE23 which is having a knock-on effect in SE22 and affecting a wide area. They confirm that engineers on site. See latest updates on thameswater.co.uk 'network latest'

The customer services rep at Thames Water said that the Live Map wasn't very 'live'! She directed me to 'network latest' which I haven't found yet...


Looking at the Live Map - it has been updated - big red area covering bottom half of Underhill/Melford/Wood Vale/bottom Overhill - with news that repair is underway.

Just got a similar update from TW, they are trying to reroute and inject water into the system, both so they can get the water on and repair the leak, but "it's not going quite to plan". Aim is still to get water back on by this afternoon.

By now I really ought to know to start stockpiling water towards the August! This happens so often at this time of year. Anyone remember the 3 day drought of 2003??!

I know it's not entirely Thames Water's fault but they could handle these incidents better with accurate & consistent updates.

Hi,

I am on Lordship Lane Lane Estate and we have nothing at all- I have overheard neighbours saying the same thing. Does anyone know how long this might be for, as in most likely and worst case? Obviously the last thing they tried did not work. Has anyone had any communication about this from anyone? Before when this has happened they brought around bottles of water- will they do that again? I am not very well, would love a shower but more urgent than that do not have much drinking water left. Do I need to be asking someone to bring me something around- I do not want to ask anyone to change their plans to help me out if it will be back on soon...

Thanks in advance

Hi

We live on L Lane opposite Dulwich library & have been without water since early this morning, but in the

last 5 mins our kitchen tap has started running again- v low pressure trickle, but it's something...

Fingers crossed this is the start of things going back to normal, as it's been a dismal bank holiday

here with a poorly baby and a potty training toddler!

Let's hope....!

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
