Sue

My car was very nearly uninsured for a day (would have been tomorrow) while changing insurers. Luckily I realised in time to sort it out. If it had been, and had been parked on the road but not driven for that day, could that have had any implications for future insurance, or would I just be thanking my lucky stars that nobody had run into it?

Just had two people call at my door, one with official looking ID round his neck on a ribbon with "staff" all over it. They wanted to know if I had got my copy of "the energy report" or words to that effect. Basically I think they are trying to get people to change their energy supplier, on the doorstep. Take care people. Might be cheapest option for you, but probably isn't. Don't sign anything you can't get out of! I just told them I was happy with my present supplier, who they didn't seem to have heard of, and they went away.

:))

Mine has been for some time

I have seen posts suggesting that many of Louisa's comments are not based on fact, and indeed not based on anything apart from her own prejudices, and that this is getting very tiring.

Actual proven facts which back up your ridiculous statements. You don't have any, do you? Isn't it time admin banished you back to the lounge again? Because it can't be just me who is tired of reading this tedious crap.

Louisa doesn't have any proof for any of the crap she posts. She just likes, metaphorically speaking, poking a bear with a stick. So she will say that people sit in windows to be seen, rather than to see out. And people queue for cheese to be seen, rather than to buy cheese. And people go to a new place, post their opinions on here (sorry, "bore us all with posts about how amazing their experience is") and then "rarely if ever return." Would you like to provide some evidence for any of these risible statements, Louisa?

Dulwich Fox seems to be living in some alternative parallel universe. We see queues on Saturday of people who can't get to shop in the week because they are working. He sees a hysterical frenzied mob. We see what looks like a great new place opening. He sees somewhere he will never ever venture in (unless it's a new Indian restaurant with the usual familiar food). Maybe try what I do with my grandkids, Foxy, and try one food a day you've never eaten? You might even like some of it. Nothing ventured, and all that :)

Very impressive lightning streaking across the sky. The storm obviously moved, but at one point seemed pretty close judging by the lightning/thunder interval.

True.

Don't you ever feel like trying something or somewhere new? Flans are hardly exotic!

At a wild guess, I'd say most people in East Dulwich are not going to trek over to Nunhead to buy a flan ....

Anyone take any good pictures of the lightning over East Dulwich?

Ha ha Malumbu. As the Half Moon has been mentioned on this thread, just want to say that we went there on Saturday and were very impressed indeed at the quality of the refurb. Didn't eat however so can't comment on the food. I think it's great that the Dog is addressing its current shortcomings. Good on the Dog.

Well they may have fixed it, but there's still apart of the road fenced off and no parking all around it, with a sign saying the work will be finished tomorrow :(

Someone has done exactly that tonight.

What has Ayres got to do with anything, anyway? It isn't even in East Dulwich!

Wild flower meadows have to be managed, and do have to be mown at certain times of the year. They can't just be left. I can't remember the exact timing. So it might have been intentional.

I gave via the Red Cross in the end.

Yeh that's true, though in that case I don't know why he couldn't have just said he needed it for refrigeration or whatever. I'll probably never know.
