  1. Kk didn't you think maybe you could phone the police?
  2. Are you able to answer first mate's questions, as I would like to know the answers too, particularly whetner the child is okay?
  3. Wasn't somebody else robbed recently in that area by Goose Green in a similar way?
  4. You could try the three charity shops in East Dulwich (Two hospice shops on Lordship Lane, Mind shop on the roundabout) but ask before you take the books as they may say they have too many already :(
  5. A picture in the property section of this month's Living South, entitled: "Presidents Quay House, prices from ?1,799,999" Now I can understand somebody being taken in by something priced at, say, ?17.99 and thinking that sounds much cheaper than ?18. But if you are looking at houses around the ?1,800,000 mark, is the pound difference of ?1,799,999 really going to tip the balance? :))

  8. Interested to hear what other quotes you get. I need to do my hall, stairs and landing, but also don't fancy attempting the stairwell :(

It was a two headed lamb, I think, but I may be wrong. I used to have the catalogue, but suspect it was thrown out in one of my clutter clears, so I can't check :(

Went to one in Worcester recently. Found it so depressing I left before ordering. Also not happy about factory farmed chicken. Sorry it's replacing Londis, which was handy for some things, especially as there's a Nando's just down the road in Denmark Hill.

I used to love that museum! It used to be in Arundel.

    The new bit of Tate Modern has a tenth floor 360 degree viewing gallery with a coffee stall. I couldn't hack it because I don't like heights unless I'm completely enclosed by glass, but I stayed long enough to see that the views are absolutely fantastic. And it's all free!

  16. Several previous threads on here about these people. Kibris, could you tell us what are the "legitimate schemes" selling this trash by knocking on people's doors?

And the gardens. I can't understand how anybody could not like it :)
  18. If this incident was a month ago, I don't understand why the OP is posting about it now. And I also don't understand why a GP should be expected to come from their surgery (and Melbourne Grove is not that close to the EDT) to come and help somebody who has collapsed in a pub.

  20. Passed on the bus today, and yes the corner shop is now Glamorous Nails, whose old shop nearby appeared to be closed down.
  21. There is a phone number on the bags to ring if you want more, so I think they may deliver them as they do replacement bins. Nigello, you can not easily wrap garden waste in newspaper, it would just all fall apart.
  22. James, please could you tell me who I should contact re emptying a dog poo bin at the end of Ulverscroft Road, which is overflowing. It isn't exactly encouraging people to pick up after their dog if they can't then put their bag in a bin.

    There's a Neon installation at Tate Britain (I think) at the moment which looks interesting, and you can get a boat down the river to the other Tate. And I think the South Bank is great. Brilliant for kids with the beach and pop up fountains, there are some good new bars, and some of the street entertainers are actually entertaining and original (yes some crap too). The river is always good to watch. There are food stalls round the back but I think maybe only at weekends? If you get away from the tourist tat at the Westminster end, it's a good way to spend an hour or two. There are all those book stalls and the skate park, plus the NT, NFT, RFH, Tate Modern etc. Birdwatching under the Tate still? Often free music going on, inside and outside and exhibitions. I love the South Bank, and I'm not a tourist!

A main attraction was free entry to the permanent collection, but I really liked the design of the pavilion. Had an interesting short talk on some of the flower paintings, and found out about an interesting perfume company I didn't know about. Had a drink in the pavilion but didn't eat there (or in the main restaurant) as found the food choices a bit uninspiring. But on the whole for a free couple of hours (apart from the drinks) I thought it was great.
