I have just used Austin Jones of Underhill Road. Ask for Pardeep, she was really helpful and professional. [email protected]

I'd also like to make a point that hasn't yet been mentioned about the CPZ. There are a number of homes that have a crossover drive and more than one vehicle. Some residents park one car on the drive and the other across their drive on the road. As far as I'm aware this technically breaches highway code 243 which states 'do not stop or park infront of an entrance to a property', (no mention of an exemption if it's your own property). Currently with no parking enforcement in place this practice goes unenforced. You can imagine that once the council start enforcing parking, any infringement will be swiftly punished.

You will find that water from a domestic water softener is not recommended for drinking or cooking. The reason being a softener removes dissolved calcium ions from the water and replaces them with sodium ions. It is calcium carbonate that forms limescale. The problem with having sodium in drinking water is sodium is linked to high blood pressure. That's why people are advised to limit their intake. Also the water from a softener can contain significantly higher levels of bacteria than mains water as the water moves slowly through the softener and can stagnate. If you want to reduce limescale in your kettle you'd be better using something like a Brita filter jug. This doesn't add sodium, but does remove calcium. A whole house softener would though reduce the amount of detergent needed in a washing machine. Hope this helps with your decision.

Which pool is it that's cold?

I have now used John McCann three times to plaster ceilings. He always does an excellent job. I can thoroughly recommend him. His mobile is 07905 044912.

Yes. Went two days ago. No booking needed.

I've used Robert Mills for several years to maintain our boiler. He's just seen to a repair today. I'd thoroughly recommend him. He's efficient, helpful and trustworthy. He also does plumbing. His mobile is 07952 584171.

It killed my brand new Dell PC! The computer came with an advert saying it would upgrade to Windows 11 when released. I did the upgrade immediately it came out. It worked for a day. The next day it wouldn't boot, can't remember the error message, but it wouldn't load Windows. Phoned Dell tech service. Waste of time. After about 45 minutes the advisor said the main board was faulty and they would arrange a collection for repair. Luckily I'd created the recovery drive when I first started the PC when I bought it. This allowed me to uninstall the Windows 11 updated. PC worked again. Perhaps I'll try again just before the 12 months warranty expires.

Thanks for this helpful post. Lewisham publish a comprehensive pdf recycling guide on their website. The advice might not be the same as Southwark's policies, so it would be helpful if Southwark could publish something similar. This is the link:https://lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/wasterecycle/a-to-z-recycling?fbclid=IwAR2gkEm47HzfJkSaTp-USwKqpXyRCOiYh7NyM4ffUd7eL360QfCCduW4SdY

Has anyone seen how this works in a store? Is there a separate bin for this plastic or does it go in the existing plastic carrier recycling bins?

The Vale Practice in Grove Vale are open. I've used them for back pain in the past. Thoroughly recommend them.

Me and my partner, age group 60 to 64. No underlying or previous health conditions had Astra Zenica injection yesterday afternoon. No side affects in the past 24 hours.

Lidl to close in a few years time. Site been bought for development https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://oldkentroad.org.uk/toysrus&ved=2ahUKEwjF6KHC2LvuAhVklFwKHc67BjUQFjAGegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw3SjiTAJ5mo_k9flIiA_w45

What is allowed under 'permitted development' is all hear. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/permitted-development-rights-for-householders-technical-guidance It's not only about the height, but also how much of the garden is taken up and if it adjoins a road, p,us many other factors.

Yes, this is the BBC article.

This a known bug with the app. It was highlighted a few day's ago in a BBC article. The article explained that this can be triggered by the system if you have been close to someone but your contact doesn't meet the criteria for isolation, i.e. within two metres for 15 minutes. If it were a genuine alert an automatic 14 day isolation countdown would be shown in red on the home screen of the app.

Try phoning them. The Dulwich Dental Clinic next to the Post Office is taking appointments.

The restaurant has been sent an email about lack of social distancing and Southwark Trading Standards have been informed.

Booked a table yesterday for 6:30 in evening. Asked beforehand if they were taking Covid-19 precautions. Was told they were following guidelines and keeping adequate distance between tables. This was not true! It was busy when we arrived and very quickly it became totally packed. There were just as many tables as before Covid-19 restrictions. It was TOO crowded. They weren't taking diners details for contact tracing. I don't advise going there during the 'eat out to help out' period.

Did you not read the previous post. It was working again. Very quick to criticise without knowing all the facts. If you ever have need to visit the new health centre you will see it is very well designed and laid out. While I can't comment on the GP surgery that operates in part of the building the rest appears well managed.

It was working when I went there just ov5a week ago.

Here's the website with the opening times: https://www.kch.nhs.uk/service/a-z/phlebotomy

Blood testing is done at King''s and the Tessa Jowell Health Centre. The blood test department at the health centre is managed by King's, as is the dialysis unit and physiotherapy area.

Beckenham Hall Place closed soon after it opened as the pool isn't supervised and so a risk. I was there last week and it's still fenced of.

For clarity, kidney dialysis, physiotherapy and blood testing are provided at the new health centre by King's College Hospital, not GSTT.
