I don't understand this. The staff in Franco Manca were aware that this was happening and didn't intervene in any way?

That didn't last long :(

Just because somebody makes a (clever and funny) joke doesn't mean they find vandalism amusing. Edited to remove a gender reference.

Yeh yeh, we believe you :))

Does he charge by the job/s or by the day? I have a load of stuff to be done! To save me having a horrible shock, could someone give me a rough idea of his day rate? I'm not ready to go yet as still making lists. Also, does he do painting and decorating? Thanks!

Lucky you. My partner once saw a goldfinch in my garden. One. I've never seen one, despite putting out Niger seed :(

Have you actually been to Thailand? If you have, you must have eaten in some truly awful places aimed at tourists who don't actually like Thai food :)) Or are you just trying to wind people up? :))

When was that, Penguin68? I don't remember a sports shop?

Yes, it's a bit like us. First we aren't there, then we are born, then we are there, then we die, then we aren't there again. The earth hasn't always been here, and it is going to die one way or another at some point, and humans would all die with it then anyway. Which doesn't mean I don't think we should do all we can to halt or slow down climate change, just that there's a bigger picture. We are a tiny speck in the universe and a tiny speck in time.

However a woman appeared to be emptying it, as she was sorting through a huge pile of clothes on the pavement in front of it. I would have investigated, but I was in a hurry.

Fair enough. I got the following email on 2 May: TfL Consultations Thu, 2 May, 11:57 to TfL Dear Sir or Madam Between 13 September and 25 October 2018, we consulted on proposals to introduce formal pedestrian signalised crossing arrangements at the junction of Dulwich Common and Lordship Lane. We have now published our Consultation Report, which summarises how we sought comments and feedback on our proposals. We have also published our responses to the most common issues raised during the consultation. In total, we received 274 responses to the consultation of which: ? 91 per cent supported or strongly supported the overall proposal to make changes to the pedestrian crossings and cycling facilities; and ? 3 per cent opposed or strongly opposed our proposal We tentatively anticipate commencing the project early in 2020. We are currently revisiting the design of the scheme to investigate the possibility of introducing a crossing at the southern arm of the junction. We will inform local residents and stakeholders of any design changes before any construction takes place. You can find our consultation report and responses to issues raised here: https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/a205-dulwich-common-lordship-lane/. Yours faithfully Paula Perry Local Communities & Partnerships Transport for London

There has been a consultation and pedestrian crossings will be installed, I think in January. There's a thread about it on here somewhere.

It will always be the case that people will post stuff like that on here, so that it appears there are a lot in the area even if actually there aren't any more than in other areas. Those who never experience any of it don't post! I am not suggesting they don't happen, obviously, just that having a forum like this one means that you will be made aware of them, whereas if there was no forum you wouldn't be. I think it's the statistics which matter, not a few posts on a forum. And that doesn't mean I'm not very sympathetic to the people who are affected by crime locally.

Please don't put it in the green bin, it will just go to landfill, not recycling.

It was a holiday for them! But surely it is brilliant that people from elsewhere are coming to join the protest? Why would you call it a "holiday", if they would not otherwise have been visiting London? And why are people hypocritical if they did not cycle or walk there? What is wrong with using public transport? Not everybody is sufficiently physically fit to cycle or walk for miles!

Totally agree, that is ridiculous. Very glad the car is found, though!

Might the nursery be able to suggest somebody/ some solutions?

When I was young, you took your own bag (probably cloth) to the greengrocer. Things like potatoes and onions went straight into the bag as they were. Fruit usually went into a brown paper bag. Supermarkets already sell bags for life. The idea presumably is that you buy one or two and they last a long time. Those thin plastic bags are not charged for. Forgive my stupidity but I can't see how changing back to the old system (i.e. the 5p plastic carrier bags) or not providing brown paper bags would affect the supermarkets' bottom line more than it already has been? ETA: Tesco, for example, no longer give you the option of paying for the thicker plastic bags when they deliver stuff.

So if you read the thread, what are your thoughts about the points made in it about those who don't have a debit card?
