Thanks will try that, but according to the second message I get (see below) it is due to security software protecting the East Dulwich Forum website? Is that likely? Nothing has changed at my end so far as I'm aware, and this is the only website I am getting these messages on! Thanks.

There was a burst in Ulverscroft Road, which has now finally been fixed. Was a river running down this road and then down North Cross Road. When I phoned the water people yesterday morning they said they were treating it as an emergency but couldn't get at the leak due to parked cars. Surely they have authority to move cars if it's an emergency?!?!?

Sorted that one, now I can't get onto page 3 of the Sainsbury's thread, maybe just as well :) Getting the Error 400 message again. Am I the only one having problems?

I had to go to Dulwich Hospital for an X-Ray this morning, and was a bit surprised at the state of the pavements - I would have thought gritting the pavements between Lordship Lane and the Hospital, even just on the hospital side, would have been a priority given the pedestrian traffic to the hospital for X-Rays and blood tests etc!

I thought the proposal for a tube link at East Dulwich had been - sadly - scrapped years ago?

I am still waiting for a CD I ordered from eBay for a Christmas present. This was posted to me on 13 December by a seller with 100% feedback, who says all the others posted that day have safely arrived. It was a bit of a niche genre but I guess the thief wouldn't know this prior to nicking it, if that's what's happened. Also - I have heard nothing back from Royal Mail re my two pre-Christmas complaints about packets being left on my doorstep. I am putting this down to a complaints backlog over the Christmas leave period, but I shall be chasing them hard if I haven't heard anything soon.

That thread's now OK, but I just got exactly the same message when I tried to edit my first vegetable grater thread post in the Wanted section to say I'd found one - unable to edit it. Weird. Never had this happen before!

Don't encourage Eater81 to continue, ffs. I've got no wish to continue a discussion with anyone who describes other people as muppets and morons and then tries to defend it.

If the roads are OK, you can get the 176 all the way to Tottenham Court Road, so from the point of view of not having to change that might be best, I usually allow an hour but depends on time of day and traffic.

Here's the link to complain again - click below: Royal Mail complaints

Thanks LegalBeagle. To be fair, I wouldn't describe the builder as a cowboy - didn't deliver on promises and didn't always seem to know how to do things, but I'm sure that wasn't deliberate. Was very over-confident, however, which was why it took me a while to realise that things were going so slowly and so wrong.

OK I thought you were the person who had made the devil's advocate post, as you were going on about it, so what? My point still stands. Now don't you think it would be a good idea to debate the issue this thread is supposed to be about?

Hell, you've already > embarrassed yourself by getting on your high horse > through not understanding the concept of 'devils > advocate'! > >xxxxxxx Excuse me? I'm not in the least embarrassed, and please don't patronise me. Your post was not worded in a way that implied you were playing devil's advocate, it was worded in a way that implied you yourself believed what you were saying. That may not have been what you meant to convey, but it was how the post came across, and it was not only me who picked that up. If you don't want people to misunderstand you and your posts, perhaps you should read them all through thoroughly before hitting the "post message" button. Edited to add: And I don't believe you have helped your case by continuing to slag people off in the way you are doing, for example the people at Halfords. And why should earning a relatively low salary be related to how people behave or how you describe them?

Might be a good idea to post this on the rail guy's thread? Edited to add: Ooops, you have, sorry!!! :-$

I can no longer get into page 3 at all, and whatever way I try I get this: Error 400 We're sorry, but we could not fulfill your request for /forum/read.php?5,392355,page=3 on this server.

(I tried the fix it yourself link but got a strange message. Has this page been corrupted in some way?)

Haven't seen a single bird in my garden today, maybe they're just all sheltering somewhere till the snow goes, so maybe it wasn't your cake! There's normally loads of them on the peanuts and fat balls, and eating stuff off the ground if they can't get at those.
