I use a broker. Always use a broker. Every quote they have ever offered have been cheaper than on the few occasions I have tried using a comparison site. And when I found one quote cheaper than the broker, they investigated what was involved and explained that the offer did not include certain aspects of an insurance policy that I need.

Never had a problem with our local one on Forest Hill Road. They are fair and friendly. I had reason to be in Holloway yesterday and remembered I had a card on me I needed to post. The PO there on Seven Sisters Road is big, and even though there were only a few in the queue every station had staff and they were friendly. but the best bit was that the front third of the space was a fabulous caf? with gorgeous pastries and guess what it was called? Posta Coffee.

Time it right with the tide, and do Pegwell Bay around the Isle of Thanet to Minnis Bay. That's around 16 bays. If the tide goes against you the views from the top or the promenades are pretty great too. And along the way there are some wonderful pubs.

On the front page of the email it said full price was ?58 and sale price was ?59. Clicking on the advert the true version of half price appeared. To be fair to TimeOut l have taken advantage of their offers to shows and events and have not been disappointed. I shall always have a soft spot for TimeOut because l met MrRose through Lonely Hearts there through an advert l placed twenty five year ago.... Got him half price too.

Someone stole our Monkey Puzzle tree
PeckhamRose replied to lisarjohn's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Maybe we should put a chain around the one at the north west corner of Peckham Rye Park next to the nursery ex toilets. And attach the chain to a ground locking device as used by Motorcyclists that the council may have access to. Chain up the plants! -
Someone stole our Monkey Puzzle tree
PeckhamRose replied to lisarjohn's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
years ago on a walk around Peckham Rye Park we were told that the thieves who steal the plants are often found to be nice middle aged ladies from Dulwich who - when questioned - say they have the right as they are rate payers. And we should report it to the police. Quite right too! I do hope you get your plants back. -
Sadly unable to attend so glad to read about people's thoughts. Sad to read people thought the street food (was it all street food?) was too expensive though. Don't see why that has to be the case. Shame!

Inside a small bowl, put lemon or some citrus juice and a piece of apple, and cover in cling film, then pierce the whole with several holes big enough for fruit flies to get in. They will do so. They won't get out. We did about three of these and each morning there were hundreds in there and two days later - zilch. I got this by googling something like how the hell do I get rid of hundreds of fruit flies!

southwark council service charge
PeckhamRose replied to fredbear's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
helenmct21 you absolutely must challenge this and get together with LAS who I am sure you are a member, and also Leaseholder CAB and get advice to challenge it. I have been sent an Actual with just a ?2 deficit. I am wondering if they will take me to court if I do not pay the ?2 till January when I go along and pay my three months in advance. (Council made such a screw up when I organised Direct Debit that I pay at the cash office now!) -
motorbike thieves operating in East Dulwich

Am very impressed with the long motorcycle parking bay at the rear of Kings College Hospital. There are metal rings you can loop your chain or D-lock through. Clearly a biker was involved at the parking design department! Some councils have this too, to be fair, though even the barrier section by the bike parks (like the one at North Cross Road, which infuriatingly - as the road is closed to traffic on a Saturday so is the only bike park in the area!) allows you to lock the bike to the barrier. (For those that care - locking the bike to something means a van can't come along and lift bike away.) It is good to lock-to-lock too but you may find you have looped your lock through the lock of an idiot who does not realise that what you have done is a considerate thing, and get angry! -

I am sure the ground anchors are for your own property / garage. I can not see how the council would allow people to dig up and bury ground anchors in the public highway outside their own houses. -
Curiosity only! What do you look like!

Wrong. I am uglier than THAT. -
PLEASE watch the excellent film IN BRUGES. Please. Report back.

I think Lindsay Lohan reached the back of the stalls. But Richard Schiff would for example gabble away pointing stage left but if you were sitting in the opposite direction, you couldn't get a word. Shame. Do tell us what you thought!

Just saw a preview of Speed The Plow with Richard Schiff (West Wing) Nigel Lindsay (loads of stuff) and someone called Lindsay Lohan. Nigel Lindsay stood out as a brilliant actor. Richard Schiff IS a great TV and film actor but we could not hear him and we were front row of Dress Circle. Lindsay Lohan. Beautiful, knew her lines, not a theatre actress. I know, it was her first theatre play but she did not develop a character, it was just her 'trying'.

Apart from the roof I LOVE it. Congratulations to them!

Yes, phone them up. Their numbers are on the southwark website. Follow links. Meanwhile, so sorry about these thefts. -
Bakerloo line extension consultation open
PeckhamRose replied to craigyboy71's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
You may not thank me for this. https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/transport_supporting_paper.pdf -
Also, they will come and collect from you. And if they say they will not climb up stairs to collect and expect you to get an item to ground floor, argue with them. The bosses know they will collect but the information does not always filter down to the unprepared untrained person answering the phones.

Bakerloo line extension consultation open
PeckhamRose replied to craigyboy71's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I also filled it in and preferred PeckhamRye route but where it asks for comments I suggested we could have both like the Northern Line divides. But I did also argue that the Old Kent Road not only is the better road but Walworth Road is less than adequate. Of course it will take many years! But that's fine. We must always think of the future. -

So sorry to hear of this and glad you called the police. I would also advise Motorcycle Action Group if he is a member. Having told the police I would also consider just 'reminding' the Safer Neighbourhood Team for your area so they can keep a look out and alert other bikers they see in the area. Bike shops do checks on bikes they're offered for sale these days and also eBay takes the registration number first and appear now to be linked to DVLA. -
Heygate Scandal - Call for an investigation
PeckhamRose replied to Earl Aelfheah's topic in The Lounge
Signed. The item on the BBC's Inside Out programme was awful, too.
