People who go into their garden at around 9am on one of those blissful East Dulwich Sunday mornings when there have been no planes, and have a conversation conducted at shouting level about their holiday etc. For about twenty minutes. Thus waking me out of a beautiful sleep. Grrrrrrrrrr

The Palmerston has a great lunch deal during the week :)

:) Made my day!

When is Unkle's meeting at Sainsbury's? Edited to say: Sorry just seen day in post above. Clearly this isn't restricted to DKH Sainsbury's, but I'd like to know why Sainsbos have stopped doing their own label Chai and also their own label Assam tea, both of which used to be staples of mine. And I have a vague memory that they used to have own label Decaf tea and don't know. Also why have the cheapo tinned chopped tomatoes for mean/skint customers just about quadrupled in price?? :-$

Please search for and read the original thread before going round and round the same ground. A needle exchange by its nature will be used by responsible people. They won't have "addict" tattooed on their foreheads, probably, and probably they will look just like everybody else. Nor will they, probably, strew the needles they have come to exchange around the area. I doubt whether the users (ooops) of the nursery will even be aware of their presence amongst the other visitors to DMC. And as pointed out above there appeared to be other factors involved in the previous opposition. This reminds me a bit of the heated opposition to Sainsbury's opening on Dog Kennel Hill. All sorts of dire consequences were forecast, including traffic jams back to Camberwell Green in one direction and Forest Hill in the other. None of them happened, and we got a new and very nicely designed (on the whole apart from one misplaced path) park in addition to a convenient supermarket (albeit one which has seemingly deteriorated since).

In the eighties I used to go to Georgopoli in the West, between Xania and Rethymnon, used to have just a couple of tavernas and a kiosk, plus fabulous empty sandy beaches etc etc, ouzo cost virtually nothing. Gradually the place got more and more built up, huge hotel on the beach, night club, bars, package tours, can't bear to go back. Found another great deserted place in Crete you could only easily reach by boat, same thing, amazing expanse of empty beach, nobody else on it, two tavernas - but they were about to build a big road to it, the locals were delighted, tourism about to hit them, money coming in - and again, the place wrecked. But the Samaria Gorge is still a great walk :)

Whenever I go to Franklins for a late brunch (we treat ourselves the day after a Goose gig) I always intend to try the bacon sandwich but somehow always end up with the Welsh Rarebit :)) Edited to say: I find a pint of their cider with the Welsh Rarebit does wonders for my hangover :))

Flowers :) Happy to live on potatoes if I can still have flowers :)

Plus how many pharmacies does east > dulwich need! xxxxx So where are people supposed to get their methadone, then? People who are on methadone are trying to get off heroin, that's what it's for. They should be congratulated for their efforts, not treated as some sort of dangerous threat to the neighbourhood. I remember the saga well (though if my memory is correct it was to be a needle exchange), because it was in trying to find out more about what was going on when I was approached to sign a petition that I discovered this forum :) And I would have thought it made perfect sense to have a pharmacy attached to a doctor's surgery, and be extremely convenient for everybody with a prescription from the GP.

Can you come and replace all my senior managers please? :)

PGC, your bird with yellow flash on its wings, could it have been a greenfinch? Though I think they usually go in flocks, but maybe not all the time?

What is your point exactly Morag?

I once had to go to Denmark Hill station to buy a ticket which he insisted didn't exist, which was absolutely ridiculous (had absolutely no problem buying it at Denmark Hill, but I shouldn't have had to do so!).

Oh dear, hope she's OK

Drove past around 7.30pm and there was a police car and ambulance outside. Anyone know why?

Saw a weird white spider like thing yesterday which on being touched extended its legs/feelers in a spooky manner - anyone know what it was? Was it actually a spider?

I've always found the staff in Sainsbury's extremely friendly and helpful. There was a period some years back when the fruit and veg department was a disaster, and a lot of other stuff was often out of stock, but then it seemed to get better. But now it's rubbish again eg I went one night around 10.30 to do a major shop and one of the things I wanted to stock up on was their own brand soya milk, and the shelf was completely empty. I don't like shopping there since the store was extended - the place just feels like a badly planned mess and the new clothes etc departments are not at all appealing.

They did seem to have a whole set-up somewhere up north - I spoke to three different people at various times apart from the guy Julian who came to the house. I was very suspicious initially, and a woman gave me a whole spiel which on the face of it sounded OK. If you google Medicare, they have got a website with NHS and DVLA featuring prominently on the homepage. I have been too busy to write to King's yet, but I will do at some point.
