I have just used Austin Jones of Underhill Road. Ask for Pardeep, she was really helpful and professional. [email protected]

I'd also like to make a point that hasn't yet been mentioned about the CPZ. There are a number of homes that have a crossover drive and more than one vehicle. Some residents park one car on the drive and the other across their drive on the road. As far as I'm aware this technically breaches highway code 243 which states 'do not stop or park infront of an entrance to a property', (no mention of an exemption if it's your own property). Currently with no parking enforcement in place this practice goes unenforced. You can imagine that once the council start enforcing parking, any infringement will be swiftly punished.

You will find that water from a domestic water softener is not recommended for drinking or cooking. The reason being a softener removes dissolved calcium ions from the water and replaces them with sodium ions. It is calcium carbonate that forms limescale. The problem with having sodium in drinking water is sodium is linked to high blood pressure. That's why people are advised to limit their intake. Also the water from a softener can contain significantly higher levels of bacteria than mains water as the water moves slowly through the softener and can stagnate. If you want to reduce limescale in your kettle you'd be better using something like a Brita filter jug. This doesn't add sodium, but does remove calcium. A whole house softener would though reduce the amount of detergent needed in a washing machine. Hope this helps with your decision.

Which pool is it that's cold?

I have now used John McCann three times to plaster ceilings. He always does an excellent job. I can thoroughly recommend him. His mobile is 07905 044912.

Yes. Went two days ago. No booking needed.

I've used Robert Mills for several years to maintain our boiler. He's just seen to a repair today. I'd thoroughly recommend him. He's efficient, helpful and trustworthy. He also does plumbing. His mobile is 07952 584171.

It killed my brand new Dell PC! The computer came with an advert saying it would upgrade to Windows 11 when released. I did the upgrade immediately it came out. It worked for a day. The next day it wouldn't boot, can't remember the error message, but it wouldn't load Windows. Phoned Dell tech service. Waste of time. After about 45 minutes the advisor said the main board was faulty and they would arrange a collection for repair. Luckily I'd created the recovery drive when I first started the PC when I bought it. This allowed me to uninstall the Windows 11 updated. PC worked again. Perhaps I'll try again just before the 12 months warranty expires.

Thanks for this helpful post. Lewisham publish a comprehensive pdf recycling guide on their website. The advice might not be the same as Southwark's policies, so it would be helpful if Southwark could publish something similar.

Has anyone seen how this works in a store? Is there a separate bin for this plastic or does it go in the existing plastic carrier recycling bins?

The Vale Practice in Grove Vale are open. I've used them for back pain in the past. Thoroughly recommend them.
