Is there an existing evening social group in ED that is alcohol free? I did the 'Dry Jan', which overlapped into Feb, and now March - just in from an evening out with a friend and still alcohol free. Each round cost c.?2-40. There may be others in ED that would like to continue their dry project or......, about to do a weeks detox and have a social where there are like minded people. The starting point could be: Tue 6-30pm onwards, themed occasions (books, theatre, art, events, food etc.... or keep it simple and open), through to changing the venue each week. The first or last week of the month could also be at a restaurant too. The benefits range from inexpensive, fun, no fear of a hangover, 'maybe' reduced calories and more. If you are interested, post or PM me and then can run a few pilots to firm up. Best! McCabe Gee, never thought I would looking for or setting up a group like this! :-)

** 2018 Health & Fitness ** Its FREE, give it a go if you are a power walker, jogger or a bit of both! We use benches for toning via press-ups / dips, bring a 1Ltr bottle of water (1Kg) for upper body toning. Read the thread comments above. McCabe

The best person / garage in the world is in the Village. Go to the centre where the flower shop is, and 20m on is the place. McCabe

Nostalgia - Camberwell Grove: I remember flying down Camberwell Grove at lunchtime from my laboratory, swimming a mile in the leisure ctr, then cursing the cycle ride back up. Criminal Forensic Science is a thing of the past now, but as for the Village challenge, I use either the S' Circular or Sydenham Hill to get to the other side. I too was in the ghastly 'hour and a bit' traffic jam on Court Lane last week. My question is global deployment for the temp 4-way traffic lights: Why don't the suppliers of the lights employ an intelligent light system? That is, each of the 4 pods communication as if they were normal lights - so East / West flow and then stop, followed by North / South flow etc. I understand that Turney road would be a challenge, but the flow of traffic would be much better.

Sorry to hear Ben, It really sucks when this happens, and you would be right in second guessing that it happened to me too albeit out of ED. A group of 12 - 14 year olds wheeled it out of my front garden at c.7pm on a Sat. My new scooter has a cover over it and a 'U' lock that fits through the holes in the cover and the front wheel so its a real pain in the arse for thieves to look at what they want to steal. And sure enough, 3am in the morning I heard a scooter put up outside on the pavement and in my front garden was a scroat try to pull the cover up without joy, then buggered off when I pulled the blinds up. I was lucky to find mine in a poor way but the insurance were quick to pay up. McCabe

I totally agree, access as close as possible to the caf? for those with limited mobility to enjoy. McCabe

I believe Mayor Johnson made all bus lanes free for m/bikes. Stickers petrol stations etc.... Then, after a couple of m/cycle protests in central London gridlocking various parts, I also believe that on this basis it all returned back to as before. I use to ride through one of the shortest bus lanes near Tulse Hill and one day that unexpected ticket came through. McCabe

** Firstly, this is just marginally out of E' Dulwich'. Is there any truth that there are hidden average speed cameras on Sydenham Hill? If you drive from the Crystal Palace end you pass the yellow boxed speed camera's, then as you are heading towards the Hornimans you pass the 'Dulwich Wood House pub'. c.400m after the pub there are cameras within the wooded section. A cab driver's Sat Nav was pinging him of speed cameras but no sign of any. After many days he pulled up and found them covertly mounted. They may be generic CCTV, ANPR, or Ave Speed cameras, albeit the cab driver had learnt that speeding tickets have been given out from these cameras. The starting point here is 'hearsay', can anyone put any specifics? This is a main artery entry / exit road for East Dulwich. Best! Freestyle-McCabe

Oh, forgot to say..... One of my personal dogs is an Arctic Fox (Nordic Spitz) called Wing Commander. They are used in Lapland/Finland/Sweden for hunting game including Bears. So if you have a bear under your shed, give me a call and Wing Commander will be there to assist!

Foxes under your shed, me too! One of the cubs went to my neighbours cat-flap and had eye to eye contact with them. In addition to Public Health, I am also a dog groomer and boarder, so I think they have all moved on now once the dogs had the sent - albeit no access to under the shed for the dogs. So I guess in summary, any local rat or mouse population should be reduced, and now no foxes. Freestyle-McCabe

Tried to purchase some yesterday without joy. I spoke with reception and while aware of the garden there is no product or price list. She did try to track down the Operations Manager - even use her CCTV to track down but alas no :-( Will try again. McCabe

Your posting has come at an ideal time. I have a drop in blood test at the Community Hospital and I'm looking to step up my quantity of herbs for cooking & or growing. Perfect! McCabe
