ID? Money? Or maybe it's just random vandalism.

That's why they are there. This section is supposed to be for issues solely relating to East Dulwich. But hey I'm not the forum police :))

I'm not quite sure how that would follow from what I said, but it was my partner and my regular drinking place for many years. But presumably after you stopped going there I would say thank God, but that would be rude. ETA: And surprise surprise another person who left the forum seems to have returned. Oh joy.

But in the case of The Palmerston, it seems to be that their lease came to an end and they weren't offered the opportunity of a new one. It wasn't that they had to close because they were doing badly, I think, which makes it even more sad in a way. Obviously I have no idea what the background to it is, whether the owner wants to sell the property or what. It's an East Dulwich landmark, I've spent many happy evenings in there with a pint or several :(

Removed because I've just seen a similar post in the business section about the closure of the Palmerston.

How on earth the people "managing" this fiasco got to be in their present positions beats me. You think you've heard it all, then it gets worse.

I would like to publicly give profuse thanks to James McAsh. I phoned the council a week ago with a question I needed answering, and was told to email a specific address and the email would then be passed to the relevant person to respond, but I had no response. I then phoned the council again today. Nobody seemed to know anything about the email, I hadn't been given a reference number, and I then spent a large part of the afternoon being passed from one person to another in the council, none of whom could answer a simple question that had by this time become quite urgent. I emailed James in desperation at around 4.30pm this afternoon, and just before 7pm I received an email from the head of the relevant department answering my question in full. I am well impressed and extremely grateful! Thanks, James! You're a star!

What I wanted was the text of the email sent to Heals so that I knew what had been said before I approached them myself. I have now got that, for which I am grateful, as I said above. However many months have passed now and frankly, with health and other very stressful problems at the moment, taking up a case of apparent misrepresentation (not by Heals) of a product being sold by them is not very high on my list of priorities :)

I would not call that "putting my business on a public forum." I have now had a very nice PM from the forum Head Honcho and as far as I am concerned the matter is resolved. It's a pity that it seems to have got lost in the PM ether before, but I'm grateful now to know what happened. You seem to have been in a very aggressive mood on here lately, rendelharris. I (genuinely) hope there is nothing wrong.

The people with the bike were really annoying. Worse than chuggers, at least chuggers are doing it for a charity. This lot stopped me as I was going one way down Lordship Lane, then again when I came back. At least chuggers tend to remember when you've said you aren't interested.

I recently had an issue with builders a couple of houses down. Not as bad as yours, but when I asked them to turn their radio down they lobbed a lump of wood onto the roof above the room where I was trying to work. It's still there.

Could be misunderstandings when she's texting people :))

Shouldn't this thread be in the lounge?

At present if you put 148 Chinese into Google, nothing relevant comes up. I'll give the food a try (again) in the hope that things might have improved since we last ate there ....

Maybe they are being sent different ways to avoid individual roads being clogged up with buses?

If you are going to keep having a go at me (and I really don't know why, as this is none of your business) please at least get your facts right. I wasn't having any problems with Heals customer service. I hadn't even contacted Heals customer service at that point, and now because of this - "misguided" is putting it politely - person's interference and frankly bizarre behaviour, I can't, because I have no idea what was said to Heals "on my behalf". I was promised that the "proper" admin, who said he was on holiday at the time, would find out, and get back to me - if memory serves, the following day "at the latest." That was the last I heard of it, and when I PMed to find out why, he did not even have the common courtesy to open and read the PM. So yes, I'm assuming the "proper" admin hoped I would drop it at that stage - i.e. the stage when I could have done something about the fifty pounds I had wasted. This was in relation to a very specific product, so the fact that my name wasn't mentioned by the "misguided" "temporary admin" is irrelevant, as customer services would know who it was as soon as I contacted them about the same product. An apology was the very least I expected. What I wanted was to find out exactly what had been said "on my behalf", which I still don't know.

As admin says above in relation to the address issue, there were other messages exchanged behind the scenes. So maybe you should not suggest I drop it when you haven't seen the correspondence and don't know the full story? ETA: And btw the apology was not from the person who had written to Heals. It was from someone who promised to investigate and get back to me, and didn't. So I still don't know what the expletive deleted was said on my behalf.

Is this the same administrator who took it upon themselves to write to Heals on my behalf? Concerning which I have never had an explanation, despite being promised one. ETA: And my PMs about the incident remaining unread months and months later.

That is totally uncalled for and wrong on so many levels. Her business has nothing to do with spray tans. She sells natural and ethical skincare products.

According to the Met Office app I use, which seems to think I'm in Sylvester Road, it's snowing now :)) Not in my road it isn't :)) With sleet later on. Then snow.

I've just received my February issue.
