Privets often look messy and patchy when 'trimmed', my advice is leave it bushy 'al la Francais' or cut the whole thing down (after checking for nests, etc) - cutting back to the wood-stubble is untidy and can cause a rash.

A nicely trimmed Privet out front is a joy to behold. Nothing too overgrown, fighting your way through an overly bushy privet is not fun and you can end up covered in the bugs that can hide within.


I object to uncontrolled ivy under the eaves, such things are unsightly and simply unnescessary in the 21st Century.

Teesaw hangs up her Forumite white coat, makes an appointment at Foxtons to go buy in West Dulwich where the Forum is a lot more straightforward and where lunacy rates per square mile are far lower than in neighbouring ED.


Can a hedge ever be a bush and vice versa? Hmmmmm, puzzle.

A light trim from time to time will definitely help improve the overall appearance. It won't take you too long (you can just do it when you have a few moments in the evening or at weekends) and chances are if you don't have the right tool for the job you can probably borrow something from a neighbour. It can be a tricky job but just go around carefully and remember - you can always cut more off so don't go 'too short' straight away. In any case, if you make a mistake, it will grown back in a fairly short space of time so try not to worry about it.


Makes your cock look slightly larger too.

She's a bit of a "one" is our Tessaw

Here's a post on another section of the forum.


I think she want her front bush trimmed first, then down to the heavy business I think.

A taut bodied helping hand/labourer needed to assist with painting fence panels re-staining decking some heavy lifting as established plant pots need moving. Might suit a mature school or collage student needing to earn extra cash.


* not sure what a collage student is? but hey, she's got something in mind i'm sure

      Latest One Dulwich update

      I believe around 57% of the 5,538 people who were part of the self selecting sample making up the original consultation, opposed the LTN. So just over 3,000 people. This was around 3 years ago now. I think there’s something like 40,000+ living across se22 and SE21 🤷‍♂️  The LTN is a minority interest at best. Whilst it’s an obsession for a small number on the transport thread who strongly oppose it, I suspect most locals quietly approve of the improvements made to that junction. …and we still haven’t heard who has supposedly been pressurising the emergency services and how? Or who genuinely believes that people are partially covering their plates and driving through the filters due to inadequate signage as ‘One’ are claiming? Again, it all sounds a little ridiculous / desperate. Feels like it may be time for them to start coming to terms with the changes.

      Okay Earl, of those 'consulted' how many voices were in favour of the junction and how many against? Were there more responses in favour or more against? This local junction change is being driven by Southwark Labour Councillors- not as you assert by Central Govt. Also, if consultations are so irrelevant as indicators of meaningful local support in the way you seem to imply, why do organisations like Southwark Cyclists constantly ask their members to respond to all and any consultation on LTN's and CPZ's?

      You could apply the same argument to any kind of penalty as an effective deterrent.  Better than doing nothing.

      Check the link I provided above. It gives a very full account of where the push for LTNs came from, (in brief, central government). The consultation did not show that the majority of local residents were against the LTN. Not for the first time, you’ve confused a ‘consultation’ with a ‘referendum’. The outcome of local elections (which many opposed to LTNs excitedly promoted as a referendum on the scheme at the time…until they lost), suggests they are actually quite popular. All the polling on LTNs generally, also shows strong majority support across London.
