The kerb is really low. I wouldn't have thought there'd be any difficulty in pushing a buggy up it.

Well done Stringvest for stepping in with those kids.

.. that said, you may need to check what the minimum age is for HoVs

Recommend House of Vans in Waterloo. They have free lessons on Saturday and Sunday morning and provide all the equipment (you have to book though). Also have a cinema there which shows kids films on Sunday. https://houseofvanslondon.com/

Possibly the result of Thames Water's interventions in the park? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1346873,1346897#msg-1346897

No wonder they're so brazen if that's the police (lack of) response.

Totally agree with Robbin's post above.

Is there a big move to 'chainification' on LL? There are a handful of chains, but that's been the case for a while now. I haven't noticed a huge increase in the number of 'big names'. There has always been a turnover in indies too as far as I can recall. Am I mistaken?

That's a shame. I must admit, I only went there the once, but it was good.

Yep, a wider traffic review is what is needed. I have no problem with road closures as part of a coherent strategy, but the problem with proposals such as Camberwell Grove and Melbourne Grove is that they were not that at all.

But hold on minute? What about political correctness gone mad? Surely we're still going to hell in a handcart? Aren't we?

Sue, Rendel and RPC nailed it in the first few posts.

Are these not just Victorian houses with 'updates'.

Oh dear, he doesn't sound very credible.

There are some crazy potholes around at the moment, as a consequence of the recent weather. Particularly big hole in Sydenham Hill

Why is there free access for all over 60s regardless of their circumstance?

Nope

It seems to me that the self service checkout is not a good strategy long term for the supermarkets. People can shop online an have stuff delivered if they're primary concern is speed and convenience. Human interaction and the ability to browse... the 'experience', is surely the differentiating factor on which physical stores are competing nowadays. They need to enhance those aspects not remove them if they're going to compete with the Ocados and Amazons of this world.
