so you haven't reported these nuisance (NOT malicious) calls at all? The police can approach the woman and go through various things especially establishing if she's ok and all that. I would have thought it being more responsible to report it than to ignore it - just say, in whatever confused state she may get herself into, there's one time when she really does need help and you aren't able to distinguish between normal calls and not normal calls? Having official awareness could make the difference. OR if you really don't want to get involved then have the number blocked on your phone.

I'm more confused with marshmellows... what's the deal!?!

Tomdhu have you considered contacting the police? Surely this is the more mature approach rather than having a quite unnecessary cat fight on here (as it's sooo not as entertaining as you seem to think it is)?

Now now no need to throw "you clearly don't use the route" comment at me. Yes I do thank you very much. It's only for a short time for goodness sake! Yes it's an inconvenience but hardly the end of the world. If you didn't have the luxury of a bus route in that area you wouldn't be soft in thinking on such dependence. Surely it is good road works are happening to improve the area and prevent possibly longer term issues which, god forbid, could result in the route being affected for much longer. PeckhamRye I appreciate the grumble of being soaked through after a long days work and then find the route is disrupted - happens to us all- although I think disappointment rather than inconvenience is more apt here :-)

Why would shutters help? Planes fly overhead no?

Ugh!

Blimey where has the time gone... many of you have been gone long time! Meaning this sincerly - oh the good ol days :-(

3 is hardly too many especially considering theyve all been around for many years... not exactly a new fad...

you do spend WAAAAY too much time on here unlurked!

If that's so then I stand corrected on the "second hand" comment. However, I still stand by the rest.

I would hope second hand goods were sold cheaper than rrp! I think the point being made regarding prices that its a charity shop and shouldnt be expensive. As pointed out earlier charity shops should be working both ways - raising funds for their charity and also helping those less finanically well off by offering goods at incredibly affordable prices. Many charity shops are forgetting this principal. Not that im saying there is necessarily anything wrong with this and it is business afterall and if people are willing to pay such prices... depends where your morals are i guess...

I think a singing bin is far less concerning than finding an italian tenor lurking by a bin...

Plantation shutters? oh dear! I fear you're slightly out of touch with the recent trend DM that's like sooooo last year!!!

Merry Christmas all! I apologise if any of you were awoken by my over excitement earlier this morning! :))

"wal'AH" seriously? When I commented my frustration at such pronouncication to a friend she simply pointed out "well they are from Lewisham" ::o !!!! *shuddering at both "wal'AH" and friend*

is it Easter?

You'd be surprised lane lover... all those people without curtains/blinds/shutters at their windows that leave their lights on for all to see what's inside... easy to forget about shutting that window in the bathroom you leave slightly ajar etc

Admin periodically clear out old posts... I wouldn't take it personally it's just a bit of house keeping.

How does this help anything? If you think it would obviously help - is there such an incentive, for whatever reason, that wouldn't result in costing more money that probably wouldn't be recooped or if it did in any beneficial way?
