  1. The wide ?Road? from Court Lame Gate through to Dulwich Village has no pavements at all. It is quite dangerous I think, speaking as a pedestrian, when cyclists come up behind you. Most are very careful but there are quite a few who cycle at speeds much greater than the 5mph I think they are allowed. Should not new pavements be installed along this route?
  2. You can stuff them behind the panel at the side of your bath. They will keep the bath water warmer for much longer.

I seem to remember this was introduced because sex workers were operating there and there were many clients in cars coming along, curb crawling, which local residents wanted to discourage.
  4. Ontherun mentioned drivers who ?hog huge spaces to avoid parking a few inches away from their front gate, ignoring the need to squeeze up and make room for others?. When I had a car I would have agreed there is a need to squeeze up, especially as it is so difficult to find a parking space in many roads in East Dulwich. But now I am not a car owner, I often find it difficult to cross the road and access the pavement on the other side if cars are too tightly parked with no space between them. This is especially so for people with a pram or buggy or a shopping trolley. Please think of this when parking.
  5. For older people the Dulwich and District U3a has around 70 groups where you can take part in or learn all sorts of things for an annual membership fee of ?25.
  6. There is a message of support on Twitter from Porthmadog which my son just alerted me to. Pob bendith ar @DulwichHamletFC yn ystod y cyfnod anodd yma.

What about fashion conscious in Grove Vale or Sugar on the roundabout, White stuff, Iris, Ed in North Cross Road... and more. Plus charity shops of course.
  8. Yes Callows in Melbourne Grove
  9. We would like to replace our old and warped French doors with new ones, to be double or triple glazed wooden doors. We are looking for a company who can make and fit them.
  10. There were quite a few - a small colony really - in Ruskin Park years ago.
  11. We have had these guys round several times lately including yesterday. When we pointed out a sign saying we do not buy anything at the door the seller yesterday maintained that he could not read.
  12. We had our bathroom redone the year before last and used Maurice Yeoman. 07837 168 978. [email protected]. You will find lots of recommendations for him on the East Dulwich forum. I could not recommend him too highly.
  13. We also just had Nico to fit a kitchen tap, after seeing recommendations on EDF. He was great. Would have no hesitation in recommending him and will certainly use his services in the future.

  15. These posts are from some years ago. No chance to take a photo now even if that were the best thing to do.
  16. Every supermarket now seems to have their own beggar. Consider giving to one of the charities that help homeless people then you don?t feel guilty not giving to the beggars in Lordship Lane. Emmaus for example or St Mungo?s.
  17. If you google ?cine projector repairs? there are several firms listed who might be able to help you.
  18. Do show the photo if you can find it, please, lavender 27. That must be one of the albino squirrels I remember.
  19. How lovely. There used to be lots of them in Ruskin Park, twenty or more years ago. Maybe this one is a descendant.
