  1. Why don?t you avoid flying and go on an awesome interail trip instead? So much adventure to be had getting on and off wherever you fancy.
  2. Yes there is a car boot mentioned in the what?s on section for 18th Aug harris Peckham.
  3. Yeah, a van goes round collecting plants from front gardens. It?s been happening in East Dulwich for 10yrs that I know of.
  4. If the hinges are in good condition and you are happy to keep them, it?s a simple matter of matching the door dimensions (including thickness) and attaching. Not so easy if you are buying doors (although sometimes you can get lucky)but very possible if you are making doors. B&q will cut wood to provided dimensions btw. Good luck.
  5. Hi, we recently painted our cabinet fronts and changed the handles and they look like new doors and not painted at all. I did a lot of research into the correct paints and processes to use and am happy to advise if you go down that route. We also stripped our varnished oak worktops, restained with a white natural product to lighten and recoated.
  6. Lots of good tips for health including cholesterol in How Not to Die by Michael Greger.
  7. I get the bus to Victoria then express in.
  8. That?s happened to me too.
  9. Cool. Good luck guys. We will be seeing you.
  10. I really want that fried chicken. Does anyone know if they actually serve that fried chicken in that cafe?
  11. Biodegradable product should be compostable. The school could start a compost area, alternatively local allotments often have compost areas and take in suitable material.
  12. Good luck to anyone starting a new business in a challenging climate. Regardless of my thoughts on the shop, I commend anyone taking a risk and wish them well. I?d rather have any well put together shop than an empty one. Also, the shop owner has shown keenness and smarts attempting to communicate with his new community, not everyone does that. I say welcome, good luck and fingers crossed for you.
  13. I hope the council has planned an environmentally friendly way to reuse the brown bins of the properties that no longer want them. If you are not keeping your bin, or even if you are, Southwark have subsidised composters via this site so you ca own one for only ?10. A great way to get rid of food waste and lots of type of plant waste and grass cuttings etc. See here: https://getcomposting.com/profile/login
  14. We recently looked at a 1930s semi in the area. There was a fireplace in the regular sized hall. It was tiled over and I don?t see how it could ever have functioned as a real fireplace given it?s against an external wall with no chimney! Zoopla shows a few houses of the same style with something similar. Could it have been for coal delivery once upon a time? Can?t find a single clue online.
  15. For anyone genuinely interested in learning more about the climate issues we are facing, I can highly recommend this book: The Uninhabitable Earth: A Story of the Future Hardcover by David Wallace-Wells
  16. Try this thread instead: /forum/read.php?5,2005087,2005878#msg-2005878 Uncleglen Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > How is the council going to police the increasing > amount of burning of wood?
  17. But...East Dulwich is in Southwark. Southwark is East Dulwich?s borough. The new actions being taken will directly effect all of East Dulwich as well as benefitting the wider community. Also, there are threads all over the place about Peckham..... I don?t agree with you. the PeckhamRose Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > It is wonderful news.

  18. I totally agree. Amazing that our borough took this step, and this should totally be unlounged.
  19. Hi, Ive made a few window style seats for our house myself. I can?t use a sewing machine. I have very successfully used beautiful H&M tablecloths to cover many occasional seats. I use a piece of ply or mdf or thin easy to cut to size wood. Pop on the foam, flip over and staple gun in place. Happy to send you photos and answer any questions if you want to give me your email adresss. Your forum email account is full and not mailable btw.
  20. We are in this location and got Harris primary, our first choice.
  21. Thanks for this. I can?t see any ref to toughened glass but you never know. I?ve had a sample (I had to pay for) from Creoglass who look like a valid supplier but had no recommendations as such. Sue, if you want plain mirror and want to see their sample I?m happy to show you mine so ou don?t have to pay. Essentially I wanted to check the mirror looks like real mirror, not slightly warped or funfairy. It looks like regular mirror to me, although the sample itself isn?t toughened.
  22. When I hear parents ordering babychinos instead of warm milk, I am reminded of candy cigarettes. Ok, coffee isn?t as big a health risk but talk about training your child.
  23. It is. I?ve found providers online but who knows if they are any good.
  24. Sometimes it can just be someone looking for somewhere to sleep.
