Just had a recorded call purporting to be from Amazon saying my account had been hacked and now press 1 blah blah. Checked with Amazon and it's yet another scam. Just adds that little extras spice of worry to one's day

Just seen the Queen and the Pope in the Co-Op buying reduced price bread

Perhaps someone else had rummaged through your bin, thrown the box away and this man had merely found it and returned it Or perhaps he was using it as an excuse for knocking on your door to see if there was anyone at home

Haven't seen a fox for ages, but saw 7 a couple of nights ago when driving back from Beckenham

I don't know, Abe_froeman. It had been there for at least 6 months, I'd tried complaining to the company, Ubeequo and had no response. Then I moaned to James and and Southwark, (who said Ubeequo were licensed and so there was nothing that could be done,) and there it was , Gone! It may be a coincidence, but James might know. Good luck to you, anyway. Then there's that fleet of camper vans near the junction of Upland/Barry Roads. They would p... me off if I was trying to park there.

Peckham market

Just a Thank you to James for helping get the months old builder's rubbish cleared from the road and also the hire car that's not moved for at least 6 months on Worlingham Rd

Radiator centre in Northcote Rd.? Or the shop in Bellenden Rd?

William Hill's shop by Superdrug has got a closing down sign in it's window.

I enjoyed the old waiting room at Peckham Rye. And St John's had an interesting display of it's history.

Yes.intexasatthemoment, I usually catch the 37, but the 12 sailed up, stopped (somewhat to my surprise) and I didn't want to hurt it's feelings by ignoring it.

quite handy yesterday to catch the no.12 to Peckham at GG. Went to the Open House at Peckham Station. Fascinating.

All the streets near the roundabout will get even worse as the cars who normally park for the station in the new controlled areas will be looking for spaces.

Odd.

Hi What are the regs about builders/householders leaving large bags/building materials etc in the road by the pavement? Parking is bad enough. For example, there are two large builders bags full of rubble that have been in Worlingham Rd for months now and it appears the building work finished some time ago. Also hire cars. There's one unmoved since April.

Wasn't Rat Scabies a 70s punk band?

At a public meeting years ago the dog owners blamed foxes

The new library in Grove Vale

It's a puzzle how "Inspector Montalbano" manages to be very watchable while being utter rubbish (unlike "Wild Bill"). Formulaic, illogical, completely unbelievable. Yet enjoyable. And the books are obviously losing everything in their translations as they are even worse.

There was some info. about the local council not empowered to fence part of it off, (thus wasting lots of money on railings,) as permission was needed from central gov. I may be wrong, but I think that's what we were told at the time. It was great while it lasted. People were actually sitting on the grass.

It's always been bad. I've got a very small garden, like many of the local houses, and I would have loved my children to be able to play on GG when they were younger. But not when it was just a dog's toilet.

Good bus services to Poole, Wareham, Bournemouth (Via ferry)

Buses on diversion on Camberwell New Rd towards Vauxhall. Traffic gridlocked. Possibly an accident with a cyclist.
