I’m really sorry to hear and send my best wishes to this poor young lady. There used to be a guy I was very worried about and who indeed attacked a child and a lady. I’ve not seen him for a while.

Sending you love and strength, Maria. Looking forward to visiting you again.

Very sad to hear. It was a lovely place and the food was gorgeous. I hope Maria is okay. I use independents on Lordship Lane and Dulwich Village a lot already but will double down on my efforts. We’re so lucky to have them. Was up North for my holiday this year and so many high streets have been taken over by chains which then close and leave shops empty. It’s all really sad and really wrong.

It’s Mons all the way for us. Super friendly. And they know their customers . They even asked me why I bought so much Comté. LOL. This is the cheese from my area in France and I eat it without thinking. I LOVE their Fourme d’Ambert, one of the oldest cheeses in France. Much creamier than Roquefort and much cheaper too. Also love their selection of goats cheese - and the fact that they regularly discount cheeses that have ripened a bit too much, which is how I like my cheese. Been lobbying them to make Fromage Fort, which is a hit like potted cheese. You take old leftover cheeses and ferment them in white wine. If other Burgundians are in the area, please join the lobbying effort. Heritage cheese used to sell an absolutely amazing Gouda from Cornwall and I really enjoyed this but they’ve stopped selling it. Can’t comment on Cheese Block - so grumpy in there I’ve stopped going in. Perhaps I’m missing out.

I’m pretty sure there was a thread about this a long time ago - I’m talking five years or more… I’ll try and find it.

Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.

It’s really noisy tonight. Right in the middle of exam season.🙄

You clearly haven’t used the bus for a while. Full of Harris boys.

Would have been nice for Southwark to spare a thought for kids doing exams at this time of year. I expect a lot of them will get very stressed trying to reach their destination. And another note, take care if you’re cycling. There were a lot of HGVs when I came back at lunchtime yesterday. Also some dangerous driving as drivers became irate after being stuck for ages.

They’re rated as requiring improvement. And it seems that the care quality commission is keeping an eye on them. https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-565650623/inspection-summary It’s taken so long to get to this stage. See this article published in 2011: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2063458/amp/Family-doctors-firm-raking-1-8m-YEAR--patients-say-surgery-appalling.html We moved to The Gardens some time ago and never looked back.

DMC has been a shit show since I moved to ED which was 19 years ago… It will never improve unless it changes ownership.

Watson’s General Telegraph. Truly amazing. High quality meat, generous portions, huge Yorkshires. We don’t go anywhere else.

Hi all - just wondering if your secondary school is offering GCSE revision sessions over the Easter holidays?
