Seems from the available evidence that he is either not doing his job properly, or is lying through his teeth.

I also live near North Cross Road and I wonder if we experienced the same incident. I was sitting in my living room last night and became aware of a terrible smell of burning. Having gone all over my house and (thankfully) found nothing amiss, I opened my front door and it was clear the very intense smell was coming from somewhere nearby. A passerby was coincidentally also trying to identify the source of the smoke, as he (and then I) was worried a house might be on fire. Neither of us could see smoke coming from a chimney in the road, but we could see smoke drifting over the rooftops. Having waited a while and wondered whether to knock on doors (in case of an undetected fire) we decided that it must be from an open fire somewhere nearby rather than a house on fire. Legality aside, it does seem very anti-social to continue to burn fuel producing so much smoke and smell, particularly once you have been told your neighbours have lung problems (and what must it be doing to young children's lungs, too?) I have asthma, and have encountered the same sort of response when asking drivers to turn off their engines outside my house instead of just sitting there with the engine running. The only reason I knew they were doing it was the fumes coming into my living room. ETA: The smell I smelled last night in the street was not like woodsmoke, however. I like the smell of woodsmoke. It was more like coal smoke.

Apparently it's the Dualit Classic range which has repairable or replaceable parts: https://www.which.co.uk/news/2018/11/is-it-worth-buying-a-dualit-toaster/

Somebody on this forum posted some time ago asking if anybody was going to the waste management centre, and subsequently posted again, and to the best of my knowledge has had no response. The council now charge for the collection of bulk waste, don't they? I'm not defending dumping stuff, but if someone has no car and no spare money, what are they supposed to do? And aren't Veolia supposed to collect cardboard with the blue bin recycling?

Well I quite often answer political polls, for one.

But unless Dualit have radically changed their policy in the last year or so, it is only the mega expensive top of the range models which have replaceable parts these days.

Any answers to these questions?

Is that the same Craig? The manager of the Peckham delivery office is Craig, but to the best of my knowledge he wouldn't also be heading up a separate investigation department?

But the Dualit toaster with replaceable parts costs (or did do when I bought a toaster) in the region of ?200!!!! Their "cheaper" (still vastly expensive) models do not have replaceable parts.

Don't use Crocus. I always used to highly recommend them but sadly I had some really appalling plants from them a few months back. They refunded me, but they should never have been sent out in the first place, and there is no way I will ever use them again :(

Probably cheaper to get a new one?

This is obviously absolutely awful and I'm so sorry for the dog and her owner. I hope the owner of the attacking dogs can be traced. But ... Why are vets' fees so extraordinarily high?

Where abouts on East Dulwich Road did this happen? Violence won't stop if nobody does anything about it. I don't know how old your son is or who he was playing football with, but were there no adults nearby?

Hooray!

Thanks, we love your walks, really appreciate your posting them on here.

Have a great Christmas everybody, and a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year. xxx

Could you not have asked them to lower the volume?
