The Old Nuns Head are providing chicken flavoured lollies for dogs!

Well I take it back. The item just arrived. The stupid sender posted it second class on Friday instead of first class as promised on Thursday. So on this occasion, not Royal Mail's fault. Profuse apologies, Royal Mail :)

I thought deliveries had greatly improved, but a time critical letter which was sent to me First Class last Thursday has still not arrived, GRRRRRRRR. I'm wondering if it has been misdelivered to somebody else's house and they are away. Anybody else still having problems??

They are all back! Franklins was virtually empty on Saturday. Passing it on the bus this evening it appeared to be rammed! And the garden is no longer quiet :( Oh well, it was lovely while it lasted :)

Have you considered mediation, Stella? I think the council offer a service.I think it's free. But both parties (sorry, unfortunate term) have to agree to participate.

Seems like some developer got a bargain then??

Yep! Just had a really peaceful breakfast in the garden!

Indeed it is, but apparently that's the case, and the lack of the ferry is causing massive inconvenience to many people :( Plus presumably the ferry people have no work :(

Callows are brilliant and really helpful. Thanks for the warning. How annoying for them.

Probably true.

Citrus is in those plastic net bags. Why can't they use cotton net bags? And I bought some apricots in there yesterday which had three separate bits of packaging. I will write to them about it when I get a moment. It really annoys me, GRRRR :(

Hardly any traffic on Lordship Lane whenever I've been down there lately. Many parking spaces in my road. No lights on in the houses at the back of mine. No noise in the street.

East Dulwich seems to have become a ghost town! I am enjoying the peace and quiet though! :)

I'm with iD, I've never had any problems with a signal anywhere. They use the 3 network. I only pay a fiver a month for more calls, texts and data than I ever use, it's a rolling sim only monthly contract so easy to get out of should you want to, and any unused data rolls over to the following month.

Oh please don't start all this again. Or if you must a) Do it on another thread (preferably on another forum) and b) Provide evidence for your statements. Thanks.

My parents lived through the war and certainly had a freezer in the seventies.
