    Just avoided the pot holes on Dog Kennel Hill. It's like "Voyage to the Centre of the Earth" there. I'll swear there was smoke from the earth's crust coming from one and faint cries for help coming from the depths of another Lynne

    Just received a first class letter that's taken 6 days to get here. I mentioned it to the staff in Sylvester Rd when collecting a parcel, and their reply was "It's because it's changed from Nine elms to Croyden. They're no use at Croyden" Well, this may well be the correct reason, but it strikes me as a very unsatisfying one. Is there anyone from "Croyden" out there to reply? Lynne

    No complaints about the doctors at the Forest Hill Rd but impossible to ring through for appointments and when you do get one it's a long wait. Lynne

    Same here. Lynne

    My neighbour has hung several bicyles in his garden trees. Is he a) creative b)practical c) barmy and should I be 1) sitting back and watching the show 2) admiring a practical use of space 3) worrying Lynne

    I paid ?27,000 for a four bedroomed ED house, some years ago, admittedly. And that was still more than we'd got for a detatched house in a posh part of a non-London town. It's all relative. I was earning about ?1000 per annum at the time. Lynne

    The Dulwich car boot a lot bigger this week, perhaps it's catching on Lynne

    If anyone wants to get rid of their cash, I can send them my address Lynne

    I don't think you need worry aobut this personally, though it's not a pleasant thing to happen More bottles are back at the jucntion of Crawthew/Archdale. I 've been wondering about a house on Frogley. Lynne

    I thought cash was "legal tender" I 've always been quite fond of it, myself. The more the merrier Lynne

    I was living through it, and heard what the shopkeepers said. It's not fair to blame the closures on,in effect,old fashioned attitiudes/marketing. Small shopkeepers can't compete with the big boys relationship with the wholesalers/manufacturers if they're trying to sell the same type of goods. Yes, if you see a niche, give your shop a silly name and charge twice as much, and hope for the best. Excellent retail strategy Lynne

    So it was entirely co-incidental that nearly all the food shops closed after Sainsburys opened? I think not Lynne
  13. Lynne
    I was here when Sainsburys opened and yes, it did have a bad impact on local traders. Butchers, greengrocers, bakers all closed. We've only got the niche shops because ED has become a prosperous area. If this hadn't happened, we'd be looking at a sea of charity and pound shops Lynne

    Probably to deal with the complainants (quite a few of them). ?1 is high To be fair to the organisers, if people don't come to sell, there isn't going to be much stuff to buy. Lynne

    Hi. We had underpinning years ago and our insurance crept up and up, till last year, it got ridiculous. I thought that no-one else would insure us, that being the case years ago. But then I saw an article in the paper saying that things had changed. So I contacted Aviva. We had to get a survey done and submit it to them. This cost us about ?400 but we more than saved this on one years' new insurance costs. Lynne

    That depends. If you have "grounds" or "the estate", rather than gardens,obviously not Lynnea

    How much does CCTV cost? Worlingham/crawthew gets a lot of fly tipping too. (And while I'm ranting, yes, I do include the "gentry" who think they're too grand to have dustbins in their newly landscaped in their gardens and leave all their dustbins/builders rubble on the pavements. What do us peasants matter? Lynne
  18. Lynne
    They're back at the top of Worlingham Rd. Saw lots on a skip on Crawthew a few weeks ago, so the problem hasn't gone away Lynne

    I have told him again, not quite as politely as last time. Again, he lowered the noise for a while. Of course, if I could get the noise people out, there would be a quiet period! I could pop round and ask him to turn it up very loudly just as the council people knock on my door! Lynne

    Can anyone tell me what the Council curently does about noice nuisance? Our neigbhour has installed 5 speakers and his stereo in his back garden and sits in the house (presumably to keep cool )and plays music very loudly all afternoon (though not late, to be fair). It's driving me nuts and I keep looking at our garden hose thoughtfully. I have asked him once politely to turn it down, which worked for about an hour. Lynne

    Poor driver, as well Lynne

    Pity we have to wait for a few years. Are Estate sgents the only ones who can pay the going rates for shops? James, let us know, please And yes, I agree with the description of Toptree. All shops create employment lynne

    I leave mine in the Station I reguarly use in Kent, where there's a constant change-over of donated books. I'm so grateful to have something to read when the train is late/cancelled yet again that I happily take my discards along Lynne

    So none of you will mind when you're caught out by illegal traders? Not saying that this applies here but there are licencing rules for the public's protection. Glad to see everyone in ED is so trusting that they will believe any company they see around Anyone want to by a nice bridge I happen to have for sale in cenatral london? Lynne
