The people running this campaign haven't exactly restricted themselves to factual comment based on - well, facts - in the past ...... http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1533238,page=1 http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1544552,1547768#msg-1547768

Absolutely unbelievable that it took something like this for HSBC to look at their processes. And ed_pete, as no names have been mentioned (nor could they be I imagine) I'm not sure that there are any legal implications in emc suggesting a very plausible explanation for how this crime happened? Though, emc, how could they have got your card?

I'd love to see a Lidl nearer (to me) than the one at the end of Bellenden Road. Their food and non-food items are fantastic value for money.

So would I! Have loads of stuff awaiting painting!

Indeed. Great to hear of things like this (the challenging, not the theft!) - brilliant.

What a nightmare. Hope you sort it all out, emc.

Depending on what you want to use the table for, ordinary emulsion may not give a strong enough finish or wipe down easily? That chalk paint eg Annie Sloan is a pig to use, because it dries really quickly, as well as being extraordinarily expensive, and you have to wax it afterwards :( I think there are cheaper version of it now. ETA: Ooooops sorry PGC, hadn't looked at your link :))

Once this has been (hopefully) sorted out, sounds like you should change your bank!

Why are you starting another thread on the same subject? You've only ever made two posts on this forum, and they're both on the same thing. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1555892,1555892#msg-1555892

I have been noticing driving round here recently - most lately whilst waiting for a bus outside the old police station. Cars just take the most incredibly stupid risks, driving from side roads onto Lordship Lane really fast without waiting for a proper gap in the traffic, and scarcely missing vehicles on the main road. I'm amazed there haven't been more accidents.

I haven't had one either. Nor do I have a current passport! Try posting on James Barber's thread to see what he says about it?

Franco Manca :) ETA: ToastED is indeed yummy, but hardly budget friendly, unless you have quite a large budget!

We had lunch here today. Excellent ales and starters. Good friendly service. Disappointed with one of the mains, especially given the price, which they apparently subsequently took off the menu and replaced with something else. They are onto their second head chef (not sure if this was connected). Despite that, we like the new Cherry Tree and we will be back :)

:)) KK

It was the "you are the future" line that made me think it must be a joke. It was beginning to sound like a wind-up. White walls or Farrow & Ball etc.. If it isn't, then profuse apologies. But why consider putting chandeliers in a house you're selling? Or a range cooker? Sorry, I'm not convinced. ETA: Alice said "ah intexasatthe moment yes yes its def the latter - I want to know the wow and the yuk - like stair carpet or painted stairs decking /patio or shingle white walls or farrow and ball and what would be a dealbreaker you are the future" In any case, what appeals to one person is going to turn someone else off.

Is this a joke? Thanks for wasting our time when we were trying to help. Just look in house style mags if you are doing up a house to sell it. Or ask an estate agent. :(

Good luck! Noise is a bummer, and often because of the way it carries, what sounds not very loud in one place can sound very loud indeed somewhere else :(

May not be possible for you but do you have a bedroom which isn't at the front? Years ago I moved into my spare bedroom because of early morning car noise waking me up. Unfortunately after some years of relatively peaceful sleep I then got woken by a neighbouring boiler going on and off throughout the night .... Then at crack of dawn running continuously .... I got acoustic glass which improved things considerably though I think the boiler noise has gone anyway ... But may not be a solution for you. And I'm now sleeping in a very small room :))

Glossy are likely to date quickly and only fit in with certain styles. Taste again though ... If you love them, get them. I think wooden painted cupboards are good because you can change the colour and finish if/when you fancy a change. But then But if you want something very modern looking, that might not work for you ....
