  1. But the individual areas and the powers within them in Southwark are now being brought down to two, just north and south. Discuss.
  2. And we ride cars and motorcycles and people die in road smacks, so why aren't we all banned from riding potentially letahl weapons/vehicles? I don't carry and knife or a gun but I do carry keys and a tail comb and they can cause nasty damage. Sue me. Legislation / criminalisation / grrrrrrrrrr!
  3. NHS saved my life many times and as a result when I die I leave my body to London Anatomy Office for medical students to throw up over.... I have had a major op on NHS and it was traumatic and the aftercare was dreadful, not from the consultants but some of the nurses as well as the health and hygiene, or lack of it, in the hospital concerned. However, no matter how rich I was I still wouldn't go private.
  4. Having the front light on, on bikes, is a spurious issue constantly discussed in the Motorcycle Action Group. If we all do it the government may say we all have to. In USA bikes are made where the light is on as soon as the bike is switched on. it does look good in court to answer, "How visible were you?" to answer "I was there to be seen, I had my light on, my reflective yellow strip on, and my invisibility shield turned off" but when it comes to it, people can only see when they are looking. Back to topic, I start from the SE15 side of the park, and I like to go up Old Kent Road where I can just to make use of the bus lanes we are now allowed to ride in (thanks Boris for keeping that promise), wven though loads of bikes still don't ride in it! Safe riding all.
  5. Well I was a second-hand (remote) smoker for the first 19 years of my life except for when I was at boarding schools for sick kids, then when I left home I became a non-second-hand-smoker. Ha!
  6. 020 8299 0499, that takes you to the Manager, but you could ask to be transferred saying you refuse to pay premium rate?
  7. Happy to share my life long sufferance of 2nd hand smoke. My parents were smokers and I was an asthmatic child and their attitude was to blow the smoke in the opposite direction (but in the same room) so I spent a lot of time in hospitals and specialist boarding schools. I have suffered all my life with weak/bad lungs as a result. Smoke is the main trigger for my asthma. I was so happy when the smoking ban came in. And I would say my quality of life has improved a great deal. I would also welcome the ban in all cars (I am so sad when I see people smoking in their cars with kids in the cars), and yet I hate all this legislation! The problem is if there weren't so many selfish stupid people and one 'James May' law "Don't be a prat" we'd all be fine! I don't care if anyone smokes. Just don't do it where other people are likely to need to be, ie. anywhere that isn't your house! (Which THEN prompts the issue of the rights of doctors/nurses/anyone that has to go into your house and breathe in your second hand smoke!) If tobacco had been discovered now, it would be given class 2 drug status. So why aren't we doing that? Because it's taxed, and also I would not want so many of you addicts to be criminalised! Flame away, good people....
  8. Why ask? or were you hoping for a clear sky to witness a lavender sunset? (Was there one last night?)
  9. I bet if you did it yourself and well, for ?2.50, they'd decide it was against some rule. Course they want the money!
  10. I am glad I asked!! Next one: I have a corner in a room in the flat that doesn't get a lot of light, but I wonder what indoor houseplant might thrive in such an area. It's quite a warm corner, too. Thanks. No more poop questions; promise.
  11. She trained to ride a horse for 'Equus' at Dulwich Riding School. And I saw her at the Roundhouse in Hedda Gabler years ago, too.
  12. Why not put something against the curb so the car can roll up on to it. Remember some idiot council recently though decided to block such cars who had done that. Overnight metal sticks were installed vertically in front of the cars so the people couldn't get out. Never mind they may have been visiting or taking someone to hospital or something that day. Hate petty council officers. Anyway, I wouldn't pay when putting a little pole against the curb should work just as well. As long as he lies still. :D
  13. Is it good for rose bushes to recycle my cat's poo byt burying an occasional one in the rose bush pots? They're outside, of course, on the balcony. We live in flats. Bet you not heard that question this week.
  14. (Calm down boys, she's a lovely middle aged lady now!) And she's a Camberwell girl. Interview here.
  15. Oh - and welcome to East Dulwich and our forum!
  16. Either the one way bit through Peckham up to Old Kent Road (or up to Camberwell then hang a right on Albany Road to Old Kent Road), then Dunton Road on the side of tescos, left on to Grange Road and then cross Tower Bridge Road and bend round to the right and turn left into Long Lane. Right into Weston Street and under the arch then left on Tooley and right over London bridge, then take the fork up to Liverpool Street. Old Kent Road is a TFL road so bikers can ride in the bus lane. That's how I do it, anyway. Tho I don't do rush hour traffic. Yet in my massive experience I find the good thing about rush hour traffic is it tends to be more predictable (though we must never assume or be complacent), as people know where they are going. At weekends when I often do the route no-one has any idea and the roads can be even more busy! Ride safely.
  17. Very funny you lot! But many serious villains are often caught through car tax or car insurance issues! Having said that, there is still a recession on and of course some people just can't afford it.
  18. Look on the LOCAL INFO Tab up there to the right, and call the local police and also try 020 7525 2000 which is Southwark Environment, tho they may tell you to call the local police. When you see a PSCO on his or her beat (to be honest I see quite a few these days but then I don't work 9 to 5 out of the area) tell them about it too.
  19. Mr PR saw a Goldcrest in Peckham Rye Park. Tiny tiny tiny thing!
  20. That would be really useful. Indeed she does represent part of East Dulwich; parts of East Dulwich are in the 'Nunhead and Peckham Rye' ward and community council area, including The Gardens.

    Flowers

    Go speak to Wendy who runs AG Flowers in Evelina Road, Nunhead, and see if she can help. Years ago she used to use kids on work experience. They turned up late if at all and were totally unreliable. So she may still be in a position to hire someone or at least give you work experience.
  22. Kings College Hospital Foundation Members' Newsletters.
  23. Their parties might be fabulous!
