I’d be interested in knowing how the LTNs have fared in terms of achieving their aims, as a resident negatively impacted by increased and speeding traffic since their introduction. I suppose I am hoping that there is some reliable measure which shows they “worked“, which will make me feel the misery on my street at least has an upside for somewhere else in the area. Otherwise it all seems totally in vain. I only have 34yrs of being a resident to go by however, which may be no match for Council data. I’m not interested in seeing these attacks by people trying to close-down other posters though, regardless the justification. If somebody wants to attack me, could they please have the spine to do it by PM so that at least we can discuss it maturely.

I think it goes in cycles / is constantly changing. There was a time when there were three butchers on Lordship Lane (OK, incl. the one on North X Rd.) but they all closed, because of the new Sainsbury’s on the hill. Absolutely decimated Lordship Lane grocery shops, too - and the two fishmongers in early 1990s. But eventually new shops opened as opportunities were seen. It’s easy to look at a tiny slice of time and conclude that was the golden era. If anything, the opening of that Sainsbury’s changed the fundamental way the lordship Lane as a collective of shops could operate going forward. Having witnessed that, it brought home to me the damage these large commercial corporations do to the livelihoods of shopkeepers; corporation margins > business futures of dozens of community / local (in some cases life-long) shops. It’ll be changing still in 50yrs time. I loved Dave the butcher, et cetera, but nothing last forever.

From memory the guy was selling a faulty pair of AirPods some months ago. Try searching past posts. -
Were you at a wedding in Dulwich Village yesterday?

Perhaps ask around where you saw the story unfold, and establishments thereabouts. -
It?s written on the postal ballot pack.

Brilliant local personal trainer - David Wilson

Well John, you have certainly done that! You have added a post here. You have also created two separate threads also in honour of Dave the trainer. Where will it end ?? Hopefully Admin can ?streamline? / consolidate this content! -

What?s the deal with Kebab & Wine ?
Del in ED replied to Del in ED's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Previously there was a note in window saying opening 15/3, that was around late Feb. I assumed they?d gone on holiday. -
B&Q will deliver, no ? What does ?200 bags of 15 bags of prompt cement? mean ? If you?re getting a lot of gear, get it delivered by Gibbs & Dandy, Jewson, BuildBase, Wickes. For what you seem to be ordering it?ll be free delivery.

I?ve had seeds from same pack germinate a couple of weeks apart, in same tray. Also, direct extended sunlight seems to speed up the germinating process. And, once germinated I remove the plastic cover they seem to strengthen better. Patience required !

Anyone know ?

Annoying words that have cropped up in our language

The ramshackle row of ex-shops that were rundown over several years, then covered with hoarding. Opposite side of Barry Rd to the Clockhouse, behind the bus stop.

You should be fine if you explain what happened with the post via Royal Mail. The fine was sent via a service unable to deliver to the intended recipient address, within reasonable timeframes. I?ve used the link to this thread as reason for not attending to my end of legal matters when facing a fine.

What I would recommend is Youtube. There are videos / instructions on how to do all things DIY. I use it regularly to research things I?m thinking of doing - last year I built a garden office with double glazed windows, based on what I?d picked-up from YT. It?s the new ?DIY Manual? that I started out with years ago !
