Obviously bearing a stamp of the correct postage. And obviously said communication will not be defaced in any way. Oh no.

I got mine last week too. But you don't need the card to vote.

:)

Very out of date now, with all the changes!

Billy Bragg has a good take on it, I think: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10155925413477471&id=44905697470

Looks like a lily to me too :)

Plus putting meat waste into compost bins encourages rats and other vermin. The dalek type of bins sold by Southwark are only suitable for fruit and veg and other plant based waste (plus paper and cardboard).

Blimey! What happened in the end?

Hooray!

Hope they haven't been struck down by the hailstones :( ETA: As this has gone onto a new page, I had better make it clear that I am referring to the swifts in brandnewguy's previous post :))

Nor am I, and yes, rather less wordy posts might be helpful in attempting to get the point :)

There are also several in the village pond at Ditchling, where I once lived. We thought there was just one, until one day we saw three at once sunbathing on a rock. I also found one wandering down the path at the horticulture department in Stanmer Park, where I worked at the time :) I put it in one of our ponds :)

If anybody has managed to read to the end of Davis' last post, I take my hat off to them :)) It might have been easier if the paragraphs had been rather shorter ....

Whilst standing at the bus stop just down from this junction at around 5pm yesterday, waiting for a bus back down Lordship Lane, I saw SIX vehicles go through a red light (after the lights had changed against them) to turn right onto the South Circular (towards Dulwich Park), thus holding up all the traffic trying to turn right (towards Forest Hill). I'm therefore a bit concerned as to what will happen even when there are pedestrian crossings. Some drivers just seem to totally ignore red lights, pedestrian crossing (and anyone on it) or not.

I've just checked my spam folder and that email isn't in it, but hey ho I got to see a long and interesting instruction to release my funds - from CHAIRMAN ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL CRIME COMMISSION. It's obviously genuine. I'll send him my passport info immediately, as he's awaiting my urgent response :)) Returning to topic, in case admin is watching, I'm now worried in case I never actually submitted my response to the consultation - but I'm pretty sure I did. My allotment site is next to the tennis club by that crossing, and it's an absolute pain getting to it by foot or on the bus without taking your life in your hands or going miles (exaggeration) out of your way. So I'm delighted at this outcome :)

Who are "the local champagne socialists", Louisa? I'm a member of the local Labour Party, and I haven't seen anybody drinking champagne. The nearest we got was on New Years' Eve when my partner and I shared a bottle of Cava.

There might be one within walking > distance for you but not for others. There are pound shops in Peckham and Camberwell. A short bus ride for those who can't get there on foot. As with other kinds of shops which we don't have locally. Department stores, for example. I don't see why it's an "extraordinary comment". I've been here for very nearly thirty years now, and East Dulwich has changed, much as some people may wish it hadn't. Iceland was replaced by M&S, for example. I don't think a pound shop would be a good fit any more, and I can't imagine Poundland (the only decent pound shop, in my opinion) would want to be here anyway. In any case, whilst there are bargains to be had in pound shops, much of what they sell can be got cheaper elsewhere. Just because something is in a pound shop doesn't make it worth spending a pound on it.
