A nice point!

Fair enough. I misread!

Triumph do NOT have the bra for the way you are.

Yes, I know Paypal means you have to have a bank account. That wasn't my point. Some people can not have bank accounts for various reasons. Cash should always be an option. even if it means they take you to court and you hand over buckets of cash there and then saying it was the first opportunity you have had since they would not accept cash!

Is your Aunt's property a flat or a house? Southwark bangs on about its commitment to Cleaner Drier safer nice warmer yadder housing but missed the last deadline in 2010 and has never achieved it 5 years later. if your Aunt is in a flat and the windows to the flat are replaced any time soon (unlikely) she will then of course be liable for the charges. Secondly of course I worry for her that social services may come along and decide she would be safer in sheltered housing for which she would have to sell her house, if she is deemed to be able to live more safely in such a place. It is a horrible situation; I feel for you and hope for the best for your Aunt. And yes, it is a political situation. Everything is.

It wouldn't affect anyone on here I am sure, but I do think it's a sad sign of the times that the last two cash offices in Southwark are closed. Many people at the bottom of the ladder can't get bank accounts, or choose not to, and could pay their rents and so on in folding green. Also, some people choose only ever to use cash. I do, certainly. I wonder if they shouldn't offer us the chance to use Paypal!

Rather like Thames Indian restaurant. Their Mango chicken is deelish!

Sounds like kids and an opportunistic situation. Cover your bike with a good cover, cut two holes where the cover goes either side of the front and back wheels, then thread D-Locks/other good locks through them so the cover can not be lifted up so easily. Or try and hire garage space. Sorry this has happened; assumed you told the SNT.

Write to Leaseholders Association of Southwark (I assume you are members) and also write or phone the Leaseholders CAB. Google it for Southwark; you'll find it.

That's unkind. dontpanic came over as being genuinely concerned and caring.

Saw two women in a communal bin near where I live. I questioned them. They glared at me. I was in too much of a hurry and also probably not brave enough to photo them. SHRED your papers people!

Meanwhile, instead of concentrating on the road we are constantly having to take our eyes off the road to look for signs. They may be in peripheral vision but they may not. This is in direct contravention with the recommendations set down in the Advanced Motoring Guidelines. "Always drive according to the conditions."

What if they suffer autism and their dog is the only being they can relate to?

I do not have a problem at all with any dogs in any space I inhabit as long as their owners are trained and well behaved.

There's a great cobbler on Gipsy Road, at the bottom of Gipsy Hill along the small row of shops by that big black pub. Been going there for my motorcycle boots annual re-soling but also other shoes and boots. He's excellent. Once his glue let him down so obviously he re-glued for free.

Excellent article. I know of a woman in her 80s who lives on that street who bought her house dirt cheap many, many years ago and is now pissed off she's too old and frail to enjoy the money selling the place might give her. She loves it there.

Primark Peckham (Claire Dowie did an excellent show about it). Packed busses when you hear more than one person sneezing. Bus stop at Shopping Centre section of Elephant and Castle. Hospital. Any hospital. Any department. Parents house. (Elderly parents both nearing the end of their lives.)

There's a great comedy show at the Comedy Museum theatre in Bloomsbury starting 3rrd February. Starring Jonathan Hansler and Clive Greenwood it's called the Afterlife of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. I saw an early draft version of this and it's hysterical. The full length show should be a scream.

Is this Sheldon in disguise?

I agree with PTime, they're cheap to make, irresponsible and divisive. And yes they are broadcast version of The Sun and Mirror. And if the programme makers who doubtless went to film school and production courses with high ideals of making great telly had more choice, they probably wouldn't be making them either.

Mine's being a pain today. Ho hum.

I know it is too late now, but for anyone else, and you when you get a new phone or your old one back, I highly recommend you install software on your computer and phone so you can track it when it gets lost. AndroidLost works for me.

Spread a little vegemite on the toast (or Marmite if you prefer; I prefer Vegemite), before putting the cheese on, whichever cheese you choose.

(so how do you delete an entire post when you then realise it should have gone in the For Sale section?!).

Depending on which side of the postal code you're on there was a Nunhead and Peckham Rye Community Council meeting last night where the Highways team attended and would have been a good point at which to raise this issue. I have asked for more bike parks in the past. The one down the top end of Peckham Rye park near opposite the little Sainsburys by the bus stop at Heaton Road, does not have a signpost to 'back up' the motorcycle bay white writing on the road, and the Traffic Wardens are not allowed to ticket the cars who park in that bike bay. Also, there are bike bays around and a pizza delivery place opens up nearby and uses that public bike parking bay as a bay for their own commercial vehicles, ie pizza delivery bikes. I have raised these issues before. Good luck to you asking for a new one. I definitely think there should be more around the borough. I am lucky I can afford a garage but not everyone can. As for sinking anchors in the public highway, (like in Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and other boroughs) good luck with that. The best is the one at the North Cross Road which has a rail you can attach chains and Dlocks too, but as that road closes Saturday, so does access to the bike park! But if you don't ask you don't get ignored. Do try asking and best wishes.
