Hi Intexas,

She did live there, but in the mid 20s, so she?d have missed the censuses. I?ll PM you though, in case you know of any other documents.

Many thanks!

Dear local historians,

Does anyone know the name of the female author who lived overlooking Peckham Rye in the 1920s? My grandmother worked as a nanny, looking after the son called Peter in the mid 1920s. Unfortunately, the name of this author has been forgotten.

Bonus points for anyone who knows which house she lived in.

Thanks in advance!

Which CPZ has free parking between 7.30 and 8? I?m pretty sure Tell Grove doesn?t.

Gary has just completed various jobs for us including repairing a crumbling window sill, made good a facia, and dealt with some internal damp. Work was completed to a good standard and Gary?s pricing was competitive. Definitely recommended!

Peter just finished tiling our patio and did a fantastic job. He was very punctual and professional and we will definitely use him again.

PM me for photos.

Atanas recently completed our bathroom and did a really good job. He was very professional and his communication with us before, during and after the job was excellent. We?d definitely use big small building solutions again.

Dear Inbound, notwithstanding your guide to parallel parking, there was not enough room behind. I?m sorry if the photograph gave you this impression. You can gain a better idea of the space by looking at the kerb stones. Enough for a Smart car perhaps, but not much else.

edcam, no need for that; I?m sure Inbound was trying to be helpful.

One of my neighbours suggested I start a thread to highlight some very thoughtless parking by a very unpleasant man. It may not be clear on the photo, but this motorist took up two parking spaces when he could easily have moved his car forward and left enough space behind him. When I politely pointed this out to him, he became really quite aggressive. Oh dear.

I?m genuinely shocked and saddened by this result. What more does this electorate want from a councillor? I?m increasingly thinking democracy is overrated!

Thank you James for your fabulous work and legacy in East Dulwich.

Hi. We also need some damp to be investigated. Did you find anyone?

Thanks.

Still not working...

I would like to add my recommendation for John Power's services. He has just serviced our Vailant boiler and was very courteous and professional throughout.

I've just driven past Townley road and traffic is queuing back past Dulwich hospital to Melbourne Grove. I was caught in this tailback for 10 minutes going the other way earlier this morning.

Would I be right in thinking that Southwark council have spent tens of thousands of pounds turning a perfectly reasonable junction into a traffic black spot?

I'm currently at Heathrow (not Gatwick, but there doesn't seem to be a suitable thread...) with my wife and 20 month old son. We're waiting for Airport Direct. This is worrying as AD were 40 minutes late picking us up on the way here last week, and, what's far worse, they lied to us several times about the driver's location.

We are really disappointed as we have been using this company for many years without incident. In January however they cancelled one of the two cars we ordered, assuming it was a duplicate booking, and without bothering to check! I wonder if AD are under new management. Certainly their previous high standards have slipped badly.

Thanks to those people who have made recommendations on this thread. Needless to say, we shall not be using Airport Direct again!

Alan has just been round to test our chimney. He was very punctual, efficient and helpful! Will definitely be using him now we know our chimney works!

We were so pleased with Alan's work we've just had him back for some more re-pointing. Again, excellence courteous service and he also arranged very competitively priced scaffolding too! Highly recommended.

Another recommendation for Alan and his re-pointing/wall fixing skills... He diagnosed the problem straight away, offered a good price and within a week it was done. Excellent service.

Here's another thumbs up for Niko; very helpful and reasonable priced. Highly recommended.

Had Paul from Nunhead Aerials come and fix a bracket for our roof aerial today. Very happy to recommend him!

I used A&E in 2010 and was pretty pleased all round, though found it strange that I was encouraged to keep the crutches I was given even though I offered to return them.

I've recently spent time at the maternity department, hence the time of this message! Very impressed with everything and everybody in the hospital, but found midwives and health visitors to be worryingly incompetent for the most part. On occasion I felt better informed than some of these people! I know, for example, that babies are meant to be placed on their back to sleep. Hopefully this area can improve.

Hi just used Roberts and Dennys, based in Peckham, for our move, and were very impressed. Decent price, very careful and really nice chaps!
