Yes, it's the church at the top of Barry Road, so almost opposite the library. Can't remember its name but it has a cafe and a little fairtrade gift shop.

As you come up Barry Road from Peckham Rye, there's a great view of the church at the top of the hill. Must have driven up there hundreds of times and only really noticed it a couple of weeks back.

Sorry, I don't get this. So you think other local supermarkets sell crap biscuits, crisps and cakes. But you will buy crap biscuits, crisps and cakes in Poundland because the crap is cheaper there? Sorry if it's a silly question, but if you think it is crap, why are you buying it?! I thought you were moving to Bromley, btw?

Thanks for posting that! I'm going to watch her other videos now! Sad to be reminded of Pearspring, though 😢

I thought they sold fresh food including fruit, vegetables and bread? Have I misunderstood? The pictures you posted don't look unlike certain areas of supermarkets like Sainsbury's.

Taking into account all the above, in your position I would approach the relevant council department (not via the automated website!) and if you get no joy from them (or maybe at the same time) approach either your own councillor or the councillor representing the area Townley Road is in (if they are different). I would say you had a strong case, but what would I know. Worth trying, anyway!

Anybody seeing that would quite reasonably take it as correct!

If that reasoning held, there wouldn't be many shops anywhere!

Thanks, I'm clearly more senile than I thought 😭🤣

Poundland actually sell some very useful things, plus branded goods like Fairy Liquid and toothpaste at low prices. As with any shop, if there are things which don't appeal to you, then don't buy them! If nobody buys those things, the shop will stop stocking them. If the shop continues to sell them, then clearly there is a demand for them. Time will tell. At least we no longer have to pass a load of faded chairs in the window of a massive and usually empty estate agents!

I looked up their reviews on Trust Pilot, out of interest, and found yours there! To be fair to them, it does look as if they are resolving this for you? https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.radiators4u.co.uk

I can also highly recommend Glen Scotland +44 7723 019161 who was recommended to me by Steve the Spin Doctor. Helpful, knowledgeable, efficient and very reasonably priced.

Which charity? I really miss Pearspring 😢 The Nunhead Gardener has a great shop within the new Elephant complex. I think it's larger than the Camberwell one.

Do they search you to make sure you aren't taking in your own drinks and popcorn?

The link only seems to be to book a collection, not to order and pay for the bags?

Whereabouts do you live? My post has been OK for a while now. If yours isn't, I suggest you email the CEO of Royal Mail and copy to Helen Hayes. Addresses are in the thread above somewhere. You could give specific examples of what you are still waiting for. You could also copy in your local councillor, if you know which ward you are in.

😭😭😭

😭😭😭

There is a dog in Crystal Palace Road or Ulverscroft Road , Whateley Road area I think, which has been barking/howling non stop for ages. Does anybody know where it lives? It doesn't sound very happy 😢 ETA: Obviously as soon as I posted this it seems to have stopped .....

😭😭😭

Do you have the TfL app? That may have shed some light (at the time!) . At least you could have seen when the next bus was due, and possibly why there was a problem. Also that app or Google maps could have shown you an alternative route by public transport? Too late now obviously, but maybe useful for the future?

I have just spoken to my GP (the appointment was for something else) who says there are lots of things currently doing the rounds with similar symptoms to what you describe, and what I have/had. As is only sensible, she said if it doesn't clear up in a few weeks, make an appointment. So if you have had symptoms for two months, you should see your GP, basically! My symptoms have improved in the last few days, so hopefully I won't need to.

I understand the reasons for locking the Great Exhibition thread. Might it be temporarily unlocked to add this factual information (just posted on my road's What'sApp group)? Turning Point UK have confirmed on their Twitter account that they are meeting at The Great Exhibition tomorrow, Friday 10th, to protest against Drag Storytelling. (Drag Storytelling has been held at The Great Exhibition in the past.) Stand Up to Racism are organising a counter protest to support LGBTQI+ and meeting outside The Great Exhibition from 10am.
