Sue

What sort of age were the kids? Very little ones might be just focused in on the sweeties and didn't think to say please or thank you? Were their parents with them?

Yeh and the photos are presumably extra money on top of the ?18 .....

Actually it can be offensive, see below. Adds hastily, but despite being in the relevant age group I wasn't personally offended. (But I'll defend the right of anybody else to be offended :)) ) geriatric [ˌdʒɛrɪˈ?trɪk] adj 1. (Medicine) of or relating to geriatrics or to elderly people 2. Facetious, derogatory, or offensive (of people or machines) old, obsolescent, worn out, or useless n 1. (Medicine) an elderly person 2. Derogatory an older person considered as one who may be disregarded as senile or irresponsible See also psychogeriatric [from Greek gēras old age + iatric] And yes, surely there can be little more left to say about the Iceland / M&S thing, unless there is more actual news about what is happening to the building .....

No problem with texts, calls or downloading stuff today, and no problem yesterday when I wasn't at home.

How are they getting them upstairs in the first place? There isn't a lift ..... ETA: Ah - just realised it says Dulwich Park. I thought it was the Lodge upstairs at the EDT :))

I also have no hesitation in recommending Russell. He did a great job on my bay roof - admired by all who see it :) - and was efficient, reliable, friendly and reasonably priced. I'd definitely use him again. ETA (9 December 2020) The bay roof I have now had to be rebuilt last year as part of insurance work due to subsidence, and as the insurers arranged it, it was not done by Russell. Therefore (if anybody knows which my house is) please don't think the bay roof was done by him. I would rather it had been!

Otherwise, it's not clear quite what point you're trying to make, as actually the figures don't really "speak for themselves", do they?

fuzzyboots Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- No such sights like this down in ED. nor the owls, woodpeckers, jays and peacock. xxxxxx My OH saw a jay whilst waiting at ED Station earlier this year :) And I once saw a greater spotted woodpecker in the land between Dulwich Hospital and the railway line :)

I was in Cheners bookshop recently when Roksana came in with a beautiful notice for the notice board with a tiny (origami?) 3D piano on it! I wrote down her mobile number, which is 07796 173583. I have grade 8 piano but haven't played for a long time, and I was so taken with her ad that I think I may have some lessons - I've even just ordered a new piano stool :) ETA: My sight reading has always been a bit crap, so I'm encouraged to read the posts above :)

susierose Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Who mentioned colour??????????? xxxxxxx Er, you did. "They were not white or English and if they were i would say so!"

nav8art Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Sue Re the long walk home surely you have a > subsidised travel card bless xxxxxx My post wasn't referring to myself. Why do you assume that everybody who doesn't have much money has a subsidised travel card? I believe you only get one if you are over 60 or claiming disability benefit. And yes, I'd also like to know what the "bless" signifies.

I think you need to be in pain to be seen by an emergency dental care clinic. There are several NHS dentists around ED, LondonLogCo, I'm sure any of them would fit you in as a priority case if you have cracked a tooth. Surely more convenient than trekking up to Guys.

They were not white or > English and if they were i would say so! so what > is the problem here?? xxxxxxx "The problem here" is that you didn't describe them. You made an assumption about their specific country of origin which was apparently based on - well, what? Do tell us. the fact that they were "not white or English"? That leaves quite a lot of other possibilities..... Good post, Top Banana. Thecaptain, you have totally missed the point. Nobody is saying that these people have not (possibly) committed a crime. And by labelling people "tree hugging liberals" it is clear that you have the same stereotyping mindset as susierose. And so it goes on .... and on .....

And the means of getting to Peckham without having a long walk back with their heavy weekly shop. Yeh. You've offended me, anyway, don't know about "the left".

susierose Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- he looks either Romanian or Kosovan. xxxxxx FFS !!!! I despair sometimes. And so the stereotyping and prejudice continues.

Did you ask them?

Penguin68 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- Apart from the contact > details of councillors who don't represent me > there was precious little 'information' in the > leaflet. xxxxxx I think that's a bit unfair. I was interested to see that apparently ED residents (who? I don't recall being asked) want the Dulwich Hospital site to become either a primary school or housing for oldies, and that the Lib Dems want the old police building opposite the Actress to become the ED police station so that the police don't have to return to Camberwell for their breaks :)

Thanks Kiera. What area do you live in, as I haven't received an invitation to a drop-in session? Not that I was intending to go to one as I don't have any questions :)

Kitie76 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Also, thing are way too expensive.. xxxxxx I bought a cake there on Saturday to take to a celebration. It was ?7 and way way nicer than anything I could have bought in a supermarket. Lemon and poppy seed, yummy icing, and nicely presented in a box. I thought it was a bargain.
