You print out a label and take the package to the Post Office. I had quite a large boxful. Postage is free. The worst part was the queue at the Post Office. I probably shouldn't have gone the day after their strike! I did the whole of the Grauniad quick crossword and started the cryptic one 🤣

Amazed to find three big bins for the recycling!

Compost these days is very variable in quality, particularly with the move to peat-free composts. However, you shouldn't need to be mixing it with topsoil for use in containers. Where did you get it? What brand is it? Did you Google reviews?

Sorry to repeat the question, but I am hoping to take my plastic bags up to Sainsbury's DKH tomorrow, so I need to know if they take bags which things like FROZEN peas or FROZEN fruit have been in? Sorry for shouting!

What an absolute pain. In the good old days not so long ago, you could have got a 40 straight to London Bridge.

Can the places with steps not provide a ramp?

Apparently the Lordship Lane Post Office is closed due to industrial action. Forest Hill Road, Evelina Road and Dulwich Village branches open. That's all I know (was posted on my road's WhatsApp group).

James is very proactive, far more so than other local councillors, as far as I can see Edited to make it clear which post I was agreeing with!

Castleton Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > https://thedharmatrails.com/alternative-to-plastic > -bags/ > > Alternatives to plastic flimsy bags! I'm talking about bags from things like frozen berries, but thanks! But I'm confused now. If Sainsbury's now takes other bags with the carrier bags, are we talking about the flimsy bags used to put fresh fruit and veg in, or (what I am talking about) plastic bags which for example frozen peas or blueberries come in?

Sorry but I can't find the previous threads on this. 1. FOOD BAGS (not carrier bags) eg which have held frozen fruit or veg. Does the Co-op on Lordship Lane take these? If not, where is the nearest place I can take them? I have loads of them. 2. MEDICINE BLISTER PACKS. I believe the Superdrug near Camberwell Green takes these, as they have a pharmacy. Has anybody taken them there and can confirm this? 3. DAILY CONTACT LENS CASES. I was taking these to Paine and Hunger on Lordship Lane pre-Covid, but then they were closed unless you had an appointment. Is that still the case? 4. SMALL ELECTRICAL ITEMS. I googled, and found that Argos in Sainsbury's on DKH takes these, but it wasn't clear whether or not you had to buy a replacement at the same time. Can anybody confirm (they don't have a replacement I would want)? Thanks. Again, sorry for the repetition but I hope this might be of use to others (assuming somebody knows the answers, of course!)

Have you actually contacted Royal Mail to find out why your items are not arriving? If so, what did they say? And are you sure your sim card is being posted to the correct address?

Yes, that's it! The landlord was also a grumpy man with an unpleasant manner, and the ale was not well kept. But if you complained about the crap beer, you were told there was nothing wrong with it. I've just re-read that whole thread. It's so funny. And nostalgic. All those old forum names!

🤣🤣🤣

Yes, that place is pretty bad too The only decent Thai meal I've had locally was at The Begging Bowl, but it's more expensive. Those who think the Corner Cafe is good, have you been to Thailand? If it has significantly improved I may try it again, but I gave it several chances before giving up. It was OK when it first opened, but that was a long time ago.

I take them to the hospice shop in a bag clearly marked "rags".
