Dulwich dweller

It can be and can't be done immediately. Hoops to jump through and bureaucracy slows down the process.

Quite possibly. I think the Police need a search warrant issued before they can enter a suspects home. It's not as straight forward as just turning up and gaining access because it has to be authorized. The warrant needs to be specific for both the item (s) being searched for and the location. There are exceptions to the rule for things like hot pursuit etc.

It's been the norm all my life. Born and bred in working class south London and a teenager in the 80's. I'd say the streets are slightly safer now than they were back then. I've lived in Brixton, Clapham and Peckham for over 50 year, being mugged at some point was deemed a passage of rites and inevitable. It's shit that it happens at all but wasn't aware it's become the norm recently. Sadly a lot of youth trodding the wrong path are involved with gangs that supply weed and heavier stuff so they are making money. Another thing i can assure is that the people putting their money into huge consignments of coke and heroin that destroy lives and blight our communities aren't single parents from council estates nor dropouts. I do voluntary work with life's young strays which include both current and reforming gang members. Many are roped in from a young age and join because of fear and peer pressure. It's certainly not a choice for many. You're lazy, tabloid style stereotyping is just way too simplistic.

Lovely. Council home dwellers? Ignorance and snobbery is bliss eh! We're being robbed blind and corruption is rife by those in power. They aren't ' school dropout council home dwellers 'are they? The last time i looked Boris and Co are all from private schools and owners of several and very expensive abodes. What's their excuse for being uncaring low lifes? Many youths up to no good come from hard working homes and and not necessarily from single parent households. Peer and societal pressures often lead them down the wrong path. Materialism and not having the latest phone/ clothes is a driver for a lot of youth crime.

I lived in Brunswick the regency area of central Hove for six years but returned to London because of the terrible drug problems the place has. Many coastal towns in kent and Sussex have serious issues with county line dealers down from London openly selling their poisons to mainly street sleepers/homeless. It's heart breaking to see and it's rife. The police and council moved the problem elsewhere when they eventually done a purge on central Brighton where most of the addicts congregated and also begged from. It's a doddle for dealers who see these places as sleepy, backwards and much less a risk to them compared to trying to compete, avoid arrest and rival gang members in a very competitive and cut throat market that is London. Most of the regency stock looks beautiful, has character and spacious rooms but are terribly expensive to keep warm during the winter because the heat escapes from everywhere. The walls get soaked too once the heat escapes. The buildings are old, no double glazing and no insulation. Aldrington is nice, clean and peaceful as is parts of Shoreham. Rottingdean, and Saltdean.

I use Millennium all the time now since Dulwich tandoori went off the boil a bit. Have never had any issues with ordering Millennium and the meals are always very good standard.

In what way is it very diverse?

Appeal

Had a conversation with him before Christmas about the rents. I nearly choked on a chip when he told me what he was paying out for rent and business rates. It's a fair sized space but very expensive all the same. I thought at the time that his days there must be numbered. Will be a shame to see them go because the meals are always spot on, reasonably priced and the staff are always pleasant and welcoming.

Will be missed. Always does a decent fry up and not too pricey. The owner told me last year that the rent and rates were killing him. He also said that he's lost quite a bit of passing trade now there's coffee machines in places like the co op etc.

It is incorrect for Mr Perry to say state schools in London are already overcrowded. It seems to be quite the opposite according to numerous media outlets that are reporting pupil numbers in London have plummeted. I suggest coming back with the petition when the party proposing the tax are actually in a position of power to do so. As it stands labour are not forcing kids to change schools. Therefore i cannot sign a petition that is highly misleading.

I used to use Dulwich Tandoori on a weekly basis until i had a few poor meals. Rice was soggy and the curry dishes over cooked going to mush. It can happen i accept that but the final put off for me was the price rise which is fair enough but the dishes became smaller in size at the same time. I now use Memsaab who are decent and consistent and also Millennium on Grove vale for take aways. They are surprisingly superb. Consistently spot on, reasonably priced and the veg dishes are very good.
