Good wishes to all concerned. Did the car stop? The driver must have been quite shocked too :(

I think it might be a tumble > dryer/washing machine!!! Unfortunately I believe the Southwark noise team doesn't cover noise from domestic appliances, so it may be a matter of negotiating with your neighbours as to when they run their machine. Good luck!

Hope you are on the road to recovery now, Caz, and have a great Christmas!

alice Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Got an email with all the successful CGS funding > applications. Very interesting Care to share it on here?! Or post a link to where we can see these successful applications? Because I would be extremely interested to see whether they actually meet the criteria for CGS funding (though it's a long time since I was involved in CGS projects, so possibly things have changed .....)

alice Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > It?s southwark CGS funded It now (or maybe always did) says at the bottom right that it is Cleaner Greener Safer funded. Can anybody explain to me how a painted wall is making North Cross Road cleaner, greener or safer? And if not, how on earth did the money to paint the wall come out of this particular pot of council money?

Poor you. You could try some sort of white noise to mask the sound until you track down its source? The trouble is sounds often seem to be coming from a different direction to where they actually are. ETA: Could it be someone else's boiler on a timer and/or thermostat? I had to get double glazing in my bedroom because of a neighbour's boiler coming on early in the morning and waking me up (and also having something wrong with it, so it was coming on and off all night). If you keep a note of the times it comes on, that could help when you ask your neighbours?

There are also carols at St John's on Goose Green at 6pm. We are spoilt for choice!

Barmy. Some cherries are winter-flowering.

OOOERR :(

Whereabouts on Stuart Road was your car parked? I'm just wondering if The Ivy House has CCTV (though I've never noticed any)

Reviving this thread from two years back, because just in case anybody else was planning to go to St Paul's, when we got there we found a massive massive queue, which sadly none of the organisers apparently thought to count and then let the people behind the end of the count know that they wouldn't get in. Having stood in it for hours (I can't remember how many hours) we were told a) we wouldn't get in and b) people had been queuing since midday !!!!!

I advertised a load on here (free) and somebody took them.

Thanks, admin. Hopefully Lemmy will see this. I think s/he can read posts, but can't post.

She and local Labour party members have been canvassing in marginal London constituencies where every Labour vote is crucial to get the Tories out. Surely that is time better spent than canvassing round here which is a safe Labour seat? And even if it wasn't, I don't see how they could possibly get round every single door. Three local Labour Party members were at a stall outside the Co-op on Saturday talking to passers by about the election and the Labour Party manifesto. It was the day of the Christmas Cracker. East Dulwich was rammed. You can hardly accuse them of keeping a low profile. You say you are a paid up member of the Labour Party. I have never seen you at any local meetings or social events or volunteering to deliver leaflets or help out in other ways. Why do you belong to a party you say you are a lifelong supporter of, but you are not going to vote for it because they haven't made coming to your door the top priority of their campaign? Absolutely ridiculous. And if you hate Corbyn so much, which from previous posts of yours on here appears to be because you have been reading a load of bollocks about him, presumably in the right wing press or on right wing social media posts, why aren't you active in the Labour Party to get another leader elected? Or do you just prefer to moan on here? ETA: Apologies I see you say you are a former member. But nevertheless you say you are a lifetime supporter, so much of the above still stands.

There's a large ad about it in the latest Peckham Peculiar.

I think some people just ask ridiculous amounts in the hope that somebody will eventually pay it. In East Dulwich, some people probably will :)

Dulwich Park nets are > always busy. Oh yes that's right, it was Crazy Golf. They had that at the Horniman over the summer I think. But nothing seems to have been done for ages at the bowling green? Did they give up on their plans?

The Ivy House is open part of the day but I don't think is doing food. However they've got an excellent new chef, so might be worth checking just in case. The Clock House was open till at least late afternoon and was doing Christmas lunch last year. Obviously you have to book in advance.

I bring greenery (and lights) into the house to celebrate the solstice on 21 December, when the days start getting longer. Except this year I've got to do it earlier than the solstice because I've got a zillion family members coming and they will expect a tree etc :)) My tree lives on my allotment most of the year (in a pot). OK, as you were :))
