That's good news Monica. When will you know if you have been successful?

I may be wrong but I thought that due to council cutbacks the Southwark noise team no longer work at night?

I moved to DMC after a bad experience with a GP elsewhere. Maybe Ive just been lucky there so far.

I'm sure the lovely people at Cheners bookshop in Lordship Lane could help you track it down! They will have lists of newish books, I'msure. They did for me once when Id seen a book review, even though the book wasn't out yet. Though I didn't buy it there blush as my daughter bought it for me for Christmas.Sorry Cheners!

Everything except the dogshit .....

All I can glean from the website is that they do marmalade bread and butter pudding, and that was from a tweet copied onto the website. Other than that, all it says is that the pub is now open ..... oh, and that they had a lovely moment this morning ...... :))

Thank you Chillaxed. I haven't personally had any problems with DMC, but it's very encouraging that they are listening to those who have had and doing something about it where it's within their own control.

Very interesting thread, thanks for the link to the ratings, I've only just seen it.

Long long time since I've been to Morocco, and I came back needing a holiday :)) but my son-in-law went there a year or so back and told me that they now had some sort of tourist police specifically to stop the hassle?

Doesn't she even like the "My Lovely Horse" video??

What a great idea! I haven't seen any publicity for it though?

e-dealer, if builders are working on a house, surely they need somewhere to put their stuff near to that house? I can see it's very irritating, but if they were working on your house, would you feel the same way about it?

And why do you think art should be "mature"?

Be very very careful. Definitely try to get someone you know to keep an eye on your house and on the agent. And I don't think every 6 months is sufficiently frequent. I've had bad experiences (including when I went travelling and let out my house) and so have friends of mine, including one who for some obscure legal reason had no recourse when tenants weren't paying rent and the agent (to whom he was paying an arm and a leg) said there was nothing they could do. As my friend was living in Sydney, it was a nightmare for him trying to sort it out. Use an agent if possible where you have personal recommendations. I came back to find bills unpaid and the landline disconnected (less of a problem these days of mobiles, of course). Plus the agent's (lack of) checking the inventory was absolutely pathetic. I really didn't know what I had actually been paying the agent for, as they appeared to do f*** all.

If they go under, their budgets will be less next year, so why wouldn't they do that?

Mixed up with trees in another road which haven't been pruned for years and years and years?
