Grove allotments opposite the old Harvester, next to Camber tennis club on the South Circular next to the entrance to the woods has a very short waiting list at the moment. https://groveallotmentsdulwich.wordpress.com/ You would probably not have to wait longer than two years max.

There is something in my garden which looks like a very small damsel fly and is jumping up and down near the ground. If disturbed it flies a short distance and then jumps up and down somewhere else. Anybody know what it is?

Not everyone who comes to your door is not genuine. But the people flogging cheap and nasty tea towels etc at inflated prices under false pretences probably aren't genuine.

Where is Forest in East Dulwich, then?

That is nothing like the Nunhead one, as it seems nobody can post on it, and you have to contact them if you want to promote your business etc.. It certainly doesn't seem to be a place for discussion, so far as I can see. I vaguely remember when it was set up.

Is this Pearspring??

Is there an East Dulwich Facebook (for example) page? I know there is one for Nunhead which seems to be quite widely used.

Ah yes, "from". That had escaped my attention :))

Kk didn't you think maybe you could phone the police?

Are you able to answer first mate's questions, as I would like to know the answers too, particularly whetner the child is okay?

Wasn't somebody else robbed recently in that area by Goose Green in a similar way?

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 :(

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? :))

Ivy House ballroom? Fantastic stage with gold lame and velvet curtains, PA already there for live music or DJ, community owned pub, child and dog friendly, lovely staff! http://ivyhousenunhead.com/events.php ETA: You can decorate the room how you want, but it's lovely as it is :)

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 :(

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!

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?
