It has to be snap traps, I've decided. If you use poison, they just creep away and die and then you get the smell. The sticky traps mean you have to dispose of wriggling mice. Over years of warfare I've decided that you can keep the numbers down, but not quite out. Mine live in the boiler, nice and warm and safe. As recomended, box up all food. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance, as someone said Lynne

Mystery partly solved!!!!. My neighbour actually saw someone leaving the latest collection at the top of Worlingham Rd. She said it was a mini-cab but unfortunately didn't get the nunber. Is there nothing that can be done about it? Lynne

I too go to Forest Hill Rd and have never had to wait unreasonably for an appointment But I have had trouble trying to ring through, and before now have given up and walked there. This is OK if you're not actually ill and need a booking for something no-urgent, but not otherwise Lynne

Any chance of an answer to my question about caravans being parked on the road?. we've now had one parked on our street for days and I didn't think this was allowed Lynne

Aha, how do you know it was melted down for scrap? (Could be gracing someones' garden) Where were you on the night of whenever it was? Lynne

I've just visited the new Canada wharf library and I really think Southwark deserves a commendation for what is an interesting building with a fantastic stock in exactly the sort of area that needs a boost However, yes, there's always a niggle, it's obvious that this stock has been at the expense of all the other libraries. I realise why, when you open a landmark library you need landmark stock, but can I have some assurance that when the novelty has worn off that the jam will be spread more evenly? Dulwich library really is poor these days, nothing seems to get spent on new stock and they threw away all the old books too Lynne

What's the law about leaving caravans (not motorhomes) on the street?. We seem to have acquired one in our road And back to the ?1,000,000 station fence, I'd happily do it for ?800,000 if that helps Lynne

In answer to Saila, no, no emptyhouses/squats. Typical nice Ed residential. Untypical in that we have a urine collecting maniac locally who gets their kicks from leaving bottles of it everywhere Lynne

Home Yellow brick green Circle of Goose Green roundabout Me 1.30pm Baths Sainsbury's bread Sunshine in back garden Lynne

What about if the wierdo wants publicity? Perhaps he/she wants pictures of their urine spread across the world and now we're feeding this strangeness? Lynne

I recently heard two elderly women talking in Farmers. One said "there's nothing in east Dulwich any more for the likes of us" Do people think this is sad or do they think that it merely reflects the changes in ED? Lynne

I had a purse nicked at London Bridge station, too. Obviously a hot spot Lynne

No buses go by here, nor coaches nor taxis so that's out, I'm afraid. And, no matter what, you can't get away from the fact that no matter why anyone should want/need to pee into a botle, it can be disposed of down a drain even if you haven't a loo. No, this is weird Lynne

I've had my car window broken in Kent, my purse stolen in Bath, my car keyed in Wiltshire, sh=t happens. ED is a good place Lynne

I put a post on about this too, under "Yellow fluid" If anyone wants to open it and have a sniff, they're welcome. I don't fancy it myself. And if it was a camper van or cooking oil or anything vaguely reasonable, well, there are drains. It's honestly disturbing to think that someone is this weird when you live nearby. I feel sorry for the Council's cleaning people (and it's not often I say that) Lynne

In Weymouth, Dorset, you can buy cheap scratch cards for a certain number of days per quarter which enable you to park in the central area. This seemed to work. They weren't specific to any car, so you could lendit to a visitor if you were prepared to leave you own car further out Lynne

Good for you. Someone in our street taped a message to the bins that she left in the road everyday saying how important it was to her that she had a parking place. And no, she wasn't disabled. I have been known to move them. Lynne

Can we get back to facts? Which school imposed the poppy rule? You see, I don't think that this can be done and I'd be mildly surprised if any school had. There may have been some pressure from particular teachers/older pupils, but I don't think it could be mandatory so I would like someone to quote me chapter and verse, Lynne

What's the rule about people leaving their bins in the road to reserve their parking place? I do agree about bins on ther pavement, but many people have such small front gardens that they've now become full of bins Lynne

Yes, thanks. But obviously then I'm not the only person who didn't know Lynne

If there were fewer estate agent cars it might help. My record is 35 in three neigbouring streets. If there were CPZs, jut out of interest, how many permits would they be allowed? Lynne

Am I the only one who's wasted timwe and fuel driving to the recycling yard on Manor rd only to find it had been closed? I haven't seen any publicity for this and it would have been nice to know Lynne

I understood that permission was given for the new(ish) adjoining part on the understanding that the rent was used to renovate the old part. Is this just an urban myth? And I would like to join with all the people who feel it's a disgrace that for over 30 years it's been allowed to fester and rot. it's lucky no-one has been hurt by its collapse Lynne

It's been over 30 years, to my knowledge Lynne

The corner of Worlingham/Crawthew Rd is often usual as fly-tipping spot, but recently someone really really weird has taken to leaving plastic bottles full of a nasty looking yellow fluid there. If it's what it looks like, someone is very sick, mentally and physically. Please don't do it. About 20 bottles were cleared up but it's starting being dumped again.
