I too would like to add my voice in praise of Paul - very swift, professional, good rates and a total gent. AND comes to your house which in the emergency of a deadline and a total crash happening at exactly the same time - is just what you need!

he's a scammer. believe this or not but i heard him on the phone one day on the LB train - the same day as he knocked on my door - telling someone how much he made that day! the clipboard - the patter - all that - he's absolutely rubbish - i don't know how he got anything from anybody!

i see it now Rolo! Their own customer services have just told me on the phone that it's not set up yet while i was trying to join!

it's not set up yet but there will still be a ?1.50 booking fee for online bookings (unless you are a member) and ?1.50 over the phone plus whatever you are charged calling an 0871 box office number.

I love what i've seen so far of our new cinema but for one bugbear - i really really wish it wasn't an 0871 number. I find those so unpleasant and unfriendly. i think i have already spent whatever i might have saved by joining as a member just by sitting on their phone waiting for them to answer (?12!) and it's going to be the same when it comes to booking films granted that shouldn't involve as many attempts at trying to get through - or as long a wait - but it will involve a booking fee on top. Both charges seems excessive?

We need someone to take a van-load of tree brash/clippings from our garden to Southwark waste. Can anyone help with that and send a quote? Many thanks Ollie

thank-you so much Lama! Happy New year x O

Does anyone know where there might be some? thank-you Ollie x

maybe he's been reading this Mick? You're quite right what you said earlier and for those reasons i kept going back - but in the end it just becase easier to go somewhere else.

well, tricky. I always left there feeling like i had been scolded - i had bought the wrong shoes, they had the wrong stitching or something, or didn't look after them, or what i wanted was unreasonable (basic soling and heeling) because i had, of course, bought the wrong shoes. i just consistently found him too odd and surly (and expensive) and so stopped going there. (And started going up the lane and getting heels and soles stuck on for less than a tenner and no grief which is kind of what you expect. it is of interest to me now that i was not alone in this!

I've stopped going there becuase i found him so tricky to deal with.

Written by a Peckham woman and directed by a woman from Deptford and shot beautifully in around our streets with amazing performances - this is something not to be missed. I'm just a punter BTW - nothing to do with the film - but it is an absolutely brilliant low budget local flick with not enough money to publicise it properly so let's get the word out there. It's very very funny and moving and smart. Teenagers especially will love it.

Hallo James, Could we have an update on Fusion? 31 degrees in their studio on Thursday. Thanks Olivia

Hi James I have been posting to you about the AC problem at Fusion for quite a while and been trying to get an answer out of Fusion for years. It is very frustrating. How about every class i cannot attend or maximise because it is too hot or too cold - that i get reimbursed out of my membership fees? a) why should i pay for it? b) if everyone is (as they should be) entitled to this, then you can be sure the date to fix the problem will be a lot sooner. At the moment it wouldn't surprise me to learn we'll have a very long wait indeed since the powers that be already think 3.5 years was an acceptable time to allow this problem to run for. i agree with mynameishere - the place needs windows which open. (A cheap, quick and obvious solution). Even on the rare occasion that the AC does work - it is badly designed for its studio purpose and blasts about 6 streams of ice cold air to the floor from the ceiling rendering a lot of the floor space totally unusable. Finally James - please could you make this information a post of its own so people can access it? As you know i have been trying to find this out for ages and only stumbled on it by accindent in a thread about something else. thanks Olivia

have pm'd you thanks
