Pretty's had greengrocer's plus restaurant next door. The sign was certainly on only one of them, but I wouldn't have thought either site was big enough for a French restaurant. I assumed they would be combined....

FFS. Clearly I am not getting an apology and now apparently both my partner and I are misremembering a conversation which we both remember. OK Fox you win. You are always right and everybody else is always wrong.

Sign on it today says it will be a confectioner and bakery??

OK Fox. My partner and I are both completely wrong about the quite long conversation we had with you about this, started by you (not "an off the cuff remark") and, as always, you are "right". I suppose it was stupid of me to expect an apology for being publicly accused of lying. Never mind. Let's "put this to rest", as you say, and pretend none of it ever happened.

I don't want to fall out with you, but you don't make it easy when you falsely accuse me on here of lying.

I have a recording app on my phone. If you have, it might be worth trying to see if it can get a reasonable recording of the noise? It may not be strong enough though.

Not connected to Le Chardon, hopefully?

I'm wondering whether the local community police may be able to advise on ways forward?

I am so sorry. Somebody not even next door to me kicks a ball against a fence or wall and it resounds right through my house. Once this was at one in the morning. It really gets to me, so what you have to put up with must be hell. Could you keep a diary of when this happens? Also could you record the noise so there is an objective record of it? And then take it up with the council again? Do these people own or rent their house? If rent, could you approach the landlord? My name here, I realise you are trying to help, but I don't see why the OP should accommodate such anti social neighbours. ETA: Also, have you asked other neighbours if they have similar problems with the noise? A combined approach might work? Another thought. There are local mediation people. I don't have the details to hand but if you google it they should come up. It's a free service but it does depend on both parties being willing to take part.

However I cannot get rid of essential things like stepladder, hoover, brooms, shopping trolley, toolboxes,ironing board (rarely used but still needed occasionally), laundry basket, bucket, bird food etc.. It's a small house and I have nowhere else to put them.

I agree, it's a very well cared for park and a pleasure to visit.

There is a whole Christmas section at the end, with a discount if you order cards and stuff before the end of August :))

Sounds like my stairs :))

Some interesting stuff Crikey, that was quick! It was still a charity shop when I passed it on the bus the other day!

If they're having a band practice, I doubt they're reading the forum whilst doing it :) If you don't want to go and ask them to stop, you could phone Southwark Noise Control (if it still exists) via the council's switchboard.

ETA: Or very close to Jafflong, anyway, because they could see it from their place :) ETA: Or perhaps I have totally dreamed the conversation? Don't think so, though, to the best of my knowledge I have never dreamed about you, Fox. Yet :))

Oh that sounds like a clever idea - so you don't actually have doors (apart from your one), you just lift off the panels? If I PM you my email address, could you send me the pic?

Thanks TheCat, I've considered that kind of thing, but my hallway/passageway is far far narrower than in that picture - the drawer would not open fully into it, particularly with the radiator there. Also, much of what is stored in the cupboard would not be suitable for drawers. I have big things stored in there, not little things like books and shoes.

I bought my huge and comfy sofa at enormous expense from Heals, and it's still going strong a quarter of a century later :)) ETA: It comes apart in two pieces so it could be got into the house :) And kudos to Sofa Workshop (I think it was - they're still there, on the road leading down to Clapham Junction) where we would have bought our huge sofa but theirs didn't come apart, and rather than persuading us to buy something smaller from them, they actually advised us to try Heals. Now that IS good customer service! Edited again to say, it has a loose cover, so you can't see that it has two halves, obviously!
