Oh dear, I had the same on Sunday. A large bumble bee suddenly started buzzing round my living room. We put him outside in a sheltered place where there wasn't any snow. He wasn't there later, so I hope he managed to survive. Don't know how he got into the house without our noticing, possibly when a friend went into the garden the previous day for a smoke. Hope he (probably a he?) and the other bees will be OK. At least the temperature is rising a bit now.

Absolutely agree they need to be challenged. You only need to look at what's happening elsewhere in the world. Easy to say it couldn't happen here. Until it does.

Also you have to remember to check them frequently. My brother once forgot, and found a mummified mouse. Not a very quick or humane death :(

The papers and hangers you can get (chemical ones) do keep the female moths at bay though, provided you remember to change them on time. In my experience, anyway. A running and expensive battle, though ...

I'm sure they will leave as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer, provided you don't leave any tasty nibbles around (I had one break into a sack of bird food which I had stupidly not put into a mouse proof container .....) Anybody else noticed the moths coming back in force?

Yes, bacon really is killing us https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/01/bacon-cancer-processed-meats-nitrates-nitrites-sausages?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/dec/29/nitrate-free-naked-bacon-rashers-to-reach-british-supermarkets

Haven't had one for a while, but if memory serves Franklins' bacon sandwich is around a fiver. Really tasty bread and bacon and a large portion. Oh, and eating in not take away. Don't know how much a greasy spoon sarnie is, but it can't be much less than that?

M&S now sell bacon produced without nitrites. Nitrites are the cancer causing ingredient in bacon.

Apologies if this point has already been made, but surely a large part of the current perceived problem is due to skips and builders' vehicles? Once every home in East Dulwich has had every possible extension and been gentrified till it can be gentrified no more, the skips and builders will move elsewhere and there will be more available parking places :))

Where would people buy coal? Surely all you can buy these days is smokeless fuel?

Franklins does a very yummy bacon sandwich :) ETA: Not sure if it is still on their brunch and/or bar snacks menu, though.

Tart on Lordship Lane have a notice up that due to a robbery they will no longer take cash at all and will only take cards (with no charge). Not sure where this leaves people who don't have a card :(

Sorry to miss you, but great there was such a crowd!

Thanks!

Excellent!

Nice to be back indoors. Didn't see the underpants, sadly. Saw the banner. I think it said "I'm so angry I'm prepared to catch pneumonia" :)) Crikey, we went home to mulled wine in front of a blazing open fire in nearly April!

Yep, really good to have been part of this. It was blooming cold though!

Really poor presenter who kept repeating herself and couldn't read the teleprompter (?) eg she read viable as visible. Plus Dulwich mis spelled (sp?) Pity they didn't show the crowds who were there, or any of the speeches, eg by Helen Hayes, or the march. But great to get the coverage, regardless! Proud to have been there.

:))

Really hoping that the weather doesn't put people off going. Please come and support your local football club!

Decided to go with the BT deal. Better router than Plusnet and hopefully faster speeds, plus with two combined offers it works out at around ?18 a month including the line rental. So if my calculations are correct, I'm saving nearly ?150 over the Plusnet deal, over eighteen months. Also changed my mobile contract, as that seemed a good deal too, with another offer. What could possibly go wrong? :))

Surely if you are already getting HD you are not going to suddenly stop getting it?

Basically what it boils down to is that people should be able to spend their money how they want without feeling cricised by others.

BT have got what looks like a good deal on at the moment, which having just spent some time chatting to a (very helpful) Plusnet person but not being able to get them to reduce the fibre deal below ?26 pcm for an eighteen month contract I am thinking of going for. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/latesttip/?weeklytip=14-03-2018&utm_source=MSE_Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=13-Mar-18-8258&utm_campaign=nt-highlights&utm_content=4#bband The deal ends today. Has anybody else got good or bad experiences to share re BT broadband? Fibre, that is. ETA: The deal looks a bit complicated though, plus I don't need or want BT sports! I'm going to have a proper look at it over a cup of tea!
