I thought the casting in the remakes of both Are you being served and Porridge was great. Lots of laugh out loud moments in Porridge - if you liked the original then you will like this update.

Out of interest - what predictions did PD and Foxy give for the final?

Anyone know if there are any bike racks/storage at Oval station?

Thanks Nigello. I seem to remember extra bus services during a train strike so would have thought they could do the same again?

I gave up on the trains long ago and now go by bus - but they are already full and I am dreading monday morning! Do you think there is any chance the bus companies could put on more buses in East Dulwich?

Another European exit and another sacking I expect!

3 points in the bag - downhill from now on!

In

Fifa are not happy with BT having the european games since viewings figures have dropped a lot. Must be why they are showing it for free tomorrow

There seems to be a bromance going on between Benoit and Christophe! I think their cakes are wonderful - a great addition to East Dulwich.

Arsenal sold the old Highbury seats to the fans. They then had to cancel the sales as the seats were not up to modern health and safety standards

http://www.aldlife.org/shop/charity-shops/ I gave my furniture to ALD. Very prompt and professional collections

Another recommendation for Andy. He came round to sort out rehanging a wall cabinet - very efficient and good value!

I watched it - Christophe and his team were great. Good luck in the next round!

Good luck - love Jade's cakes and tarts!

Does anyone know when this stretch of road is due to reopen? All the development work seems to have finished but there are still barriers blocking the road.

From memory, Barry, who used to work for Southern(?) put up some hanging baskets - they were plastic but looked good from a distance, negating the need for watering. They subsequently disappeared after Barry left - no idea where they went to but they did brighten up the place.

Westminster council agreed to the road closure and the police sent a 5 strong police motorcycle escort for Matt LeBlanc's Ford Mustang - what a waste of public money

So here at last is the reply to my email to London Overground "Thank you for contacting London Overground. I am sorry that you have been affected by the recent timetable change on our East London Line. I sincerely apologise for the delay in replying as we have been working hard to clear an immense backlog. After the issues affecting London Bridge at the start of 2015, due to Network Rail works, minor tweaks had been by London Overground and Southern Railways to services in May. The December timetable change is the first opportunity that we have had to make major changes to improve the service and reliability of services running from Clapham Junction/West Croydon/Crystal Palace and New Cross in to and out of central London. Govia Thameslink approached us with a proposed timetable of their Thameslink and Southern services and this revised timetable, which was introduced on 13 December, is a lead up to completion of all the Thameslink work that is taking place in the London Bridge area. For the timetable to work it became necessary for London Overground to alter our East London Line timetable in order for the train paths of both London Overground & Thameslink/Southern to work south of New Cross Gate through to Crystal Palace and West Croydon. TfL & London Overground were supportive of the revisions, for one it gives a more even balance of London Overground services south of New Cross Gate ? every 7 or 8 minutes as opposed to spacing of 5 and 10 minutes which we had until the changes were made. Both Thameslink/Southern & London Overground worked together with Network Rail in order to produce the new timetable paths. Unfortunately it does mean that the Clapham Junction services via Queens Road Peckham don?t serve Highbury & Islington or Canonbury any more as there is not enough space at Highbury for all East London Line services to terminate there, but there are other London Overground services in each direction for passenger to connect with. If travelling from Clapham Junction direct services to Highbury do operate via Willesden Junction and run 5 times per hour from Clapham Junction, with an additional 4 trains per hour departing from Willesden Junction. West Croydon services now run through to Highbury & Islington instead of terminating at Dalston Junction. I understand that this may be disappointing if travelling from stations between Wandsworth Road and Queens Road Peckham, but we believe this will lead to a more reliable London Overground service in the future. Overall the changes to services have been made to provide a more robust timetable especially Monday-Saturday when all trains heading north from the Sydenham corridor will now form trains heading back the same way. This should result in the New Cross & Clapham Junction branches being unaffected by problems south of New Cross Gate that can currently happen." So it was a lovely straight through service while it lasted.
