I also know two people who have done this. Not to any particular road though.

Yes, I used them to reupholster a chair. Happy with it.

I was given toothpaste with a very high fluoride content by my dentist who said it was "worth a try" to see if my tooth might remineralise because otherwise to get to the area where I was getting pain she'd have to take out a healthy tooth. When I asked how likely it was to work she said, "not very likely, but you might as well try.". I did try and the pain went away. A year or so later I was seen by another dentist. I related the story to him and he said it was unlikely to have remineralised - saying I couldn't have reached the spot with the toothpaste - and remineralisation is rare - he pretty much said it was a placebo effect I'd experienced.

Thank you for that tip re Porters. Funnily enough a friend just recommended Porters to me - her teenage son goes there and lots of his school friends too. Wasn't on my radar. A walk-in hairdresser sounds ideal. Thanks. dale Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Try the barbers in Dulwich Village - Porters - you > can walk in without a booking and they will > probably be loads cheaper too!

Just had a baffling phone conversation with hairdresser Myla and Davis in Northcross road - trying (and failing) to book a haircut for a 13-year old boy at the weekend. They won't take a booking at a weekend with a child - even if the customer is happy to pay a full-price adult haircut for that child. I've never known a hairdresser actually turn a full-paying customer away on the basis of age. They must be doing well if they can afford to be so strict on their no-kid policy at weekends. I'm genuinely puzzled. I get the fact that hairdressers can't justify cheaper kids haircuts in peak time - but I've never had a hairdresser refuse to take an adult fee for a kid before. Their business, their rules, of course. Odd though.

Hello - I'd also like to recommend Sue. She taught my son piano for several years and he made good progress. She is a very kind and patient teacher.

I just thought I'd let people know (shameless plug for my friend) that there is a new Beckenham Forum, set up by my friend Alice who used to live in East Dulwich and loved this forum. She'd love anyone interested in Beckenham to have a look at her new forum - it has only just been set up, so any traffic or input really appreciated. www.beckenhamforum.com

true but I have a Malm and it tips if you open too many drawers. Nearly came down on my mum. We still have it in my son's room but we are careful. Should have attached it to the wall but didn't occur to us.

Cornners on the corner of Grove Lane and Champion Park bothers me.

Thank you!

Anyone know where I can buy boxes of Krispy Kremes locally? Thank you....

Has anyone found a secure method of storing bikes outdoor at the front of the house? Or is it pretty much accepted that if someone wants to steal your bike they will find a way? We are currently wheeling our bikes through the house so any thoughts appreciated.

Pamela, Amec and GoodLiz that walk (Downe Walk) looks great. I predict I'll be crashing into half of East Dulwich when we eventually get ourselves down there. Thanks for sharing.

I recommend Sue Klein - my 12-year old son has been learning piano with Sue for a few years now - all going well. She's kind and encouraging and he's made good progress too. She teaches clarinet too. Her email is [email protected] I don't have her phone number to hand but if I can find it, I'll add this onto my post later.

Just to say that a thumbs up from us too - Steve has just replastered our hallway ceiling - very happy, neat, tidy job and pleasant too.

there's a pop up theatrical performance as u walk round the walled garden in Brockwell Park. Very sweet - u choose tokens representing advice or a joke or a story - and as u wander round the garden u pass "the invisible people" and if u give them a token they will give u the relevant response. It's free and the theatre group have just returned from Berlin. It's on till 4pm today (Sunday) no booking just turn up. Suitable for all ages I'm nothing to do with it - but I stumbled across this today and was sorry I hadn't read about it earlier. So wanted to recommend if anyone stuck for activity in the sun this pm

Took an 11-year old and he loved it so much we are going with friends again. Be aware that the first decision you make is which of two doors to go through. Don't wish to spoil the surprise - but if you have younger kids or anyone that doesn't like the dark then best to pick the same door so at least you are together!

My parents ate all my Quality Street chocs I'd been given (not by them) one Xmas. I was 11 and thought I'd save them and open them on Christmas Day. But when I did, I found there were only wrappers left. My parents thought it was hilarious and said I should have hidden them if I didn't want anyone to eat them. So very normal behaviour in my book.

Our car has also been keyed (ages ago) but parked in this part of Melbourne Grove too.

I had a loft conversion done and my roof is still under guarantee. The house next door was bought by a developer and his workers damaged our roof - by cutting the metal flashings when they did their loft up. We didn't know there was any damage, until recently, long after he sold the house and the new occupants found water was leaking in. We also began to get a leak. Our (lovely) loft conversion company said they would repair it as we have a roof guarantee - although it wasn't intended to repair damage caused by other people's workmen. So the repairs were intended to be out of kindness. (They are an excellent company) But they are too busy to do it. They have too much work on. Time has clicked on about 6 months. I'm nervous that the damage will increase to next door and I'll be liable, as I know about it and time is passing. There's no chance of chasing the developer (long story, but that would be a fruitless task). What would you do? Wait longer and hope the loft company can find the time versus pay someone else to get up on the roof? Is repairing metal flashings on a roof a big job? Any recommendations for who could do this? Thanks
