Well said, MoysieC

Peter and his team have just spent 2 days moving my 4 bedroom house into storage. Peter patiently answered all my questions leading up to the move, and was very helpful and flexible when I had to change dates. His team were great and worked really efficiently non-stop. Everything was done politely and in a relaxed way, yet the house was totally ready for storage in record time, including masses of dismantling and screwing shelves off the wall, etc.. They were also, by far, the least expensive quote. Don't hesitate to book them if you need reliable removers.

Another recommendation for Peter and Harry. Peter was so laid back about my changes of appointment , due to a delayed move. His price was competitive, he did extra work on the day for the original price, arrived early, and they were both super friendly, polite and relaxed. Definitely recommend.

This is a great community project-wake up, Southwark Council!

Many people are still, understandably, reluctant to use public transport, which makes it costly or impossible to go into the congestion zone either for necessity or recreation, cyclists excepted. This has to impact negatively on businesses in the zone.

How much are the brownies?

I'm appalled by Boris and his chums, but I do think it would be a shame to hear the negative, aggressive sound of booing after the quite uplifting and positive sounds of clapping at a time when lots of us are feeling stressed already. Might even frighten some people who don't know what its about...

Definitely try this source [www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk) The proceeds go to charities, and I ordered 4 and got them the next day. Excellent!

I've just collected four masks for my family. They are attractive,really well made, and it's a lovely charitable gesture from this clever young lady. Well done!

Yes, there are people with families in East Dulwich, the U.K. and all over the world struggling to live and jobless at the moment, - did you miss something? I'm sure they will receive your advice gratefully. And, DulwichB20, may I also inquire if you are a member of the S.E. bakery team,- who seem to have remained tacit regarding the comments on both threads,- as you seem strangely defensive of them on all the posts you have made on this forum since you registered today?

It's not good to see some local companies looking to profiteer from the current crisis, and to almost glamourise the idea of peoples basic needs, when they are reluctant, scared or unable to buy goods at normal prices. Your prices are ridiculous.

I cant help feeling this is cashing in on our tremendous admiration for the NHS. Why dont you just deliver that box of brownies to a new hospital every week, and donate the ?15 to them yourself? I'm sure locals would be more impressed with that, which would help your business in the long run...

Another client of Nigel, who has done great work for me at reasonable rates. I think it's a good idea that he asks if forumites know anyone who needs help, he's not trying to contact vulnerable people directly, which could be inappropriate. And I'm sure he is well aware of social distancing issues, and would only take on work with side access. A shame to put off people who could benefit from a generous offer...

And another beauty... tonight, about 7pm, at Peckham Rye, was walking through the empty, wide pathed garden near cafe- could literally hear the panting coming up behind- turned round to see large framed woman jogger, 40's, grey top, red headphones, bearing down on me, showing no sign of moving across. I indicated "space" with my arm, and was treated to " Is there sumfink wrong with you, freak?" as she passed within 2 or 3 feet of me. What to do? I'm perfectly resigned to constantly changing my own course, and picking my way through the dog turds and potholes in the grassy areas, but if there's no escape, are we supposed to just put up with it for fear of abuse from some selfish morons? With her grasp of the current situation, perhaps she should have joined in the football match which was taking place at the top end of the Rye...

Crystal palace Park late afternoon- gates to car park locked, notices re social distancing in park posted. Inside, a patrol of Police car and van with megaphone messages, and challenging anyone not following rules, ie one sunbather told to " get up and exercise or leave". he was bewildered- a perfect example of how unaware some people still are. I was both delighted to see the rules enforced and despairing at the stupidity that still exists, wasting valuable police time and endangering us all.

Ive noticed a lot of speeding recently, maybe because roads are less congested and encourage the dangerous drivers. Last night at the crossroads junction of the Rye, going towards Forest hill, I made the mistake of allowing to go first the bus parallel to me. You know, essential services, transporting essential workers, and all that. Judging by the apoplectic reaction and threatening gesticulations of the driver behind me, I was clearly wrong to be considerate. Stress? Yeah, we're all stressed. Just have a thought for those who are actually trying to carry on , at risk to themselves, to keep things going. That includes bus drivers.

experienced this yet again this evening on pavement at Peckham Rye- runner on phone running straight at my son and I, forcing us into road, and we still weren't quick enough to make the 2 metres. Ran on oblivious.Cant a runner be alert and just run on the spot till correct distance is negotiated between those involved? Dare I suggest its time the government made a specific appeal to runners and cyclists , and /or the local police,(who I've seen turning up the other evening at the Rye), were more " on it ". Apologies in advance to the many who are observing the guidelines, but these threads have shown it is a maddening and dangerously persistent problem with a significant proportion of runners that just isn't going away.

I was walking in Dulwich park late afternoon today, and, unfortunately,the runners- and some walking groups- I saw were either approaching people closely from behind or being clearly unwilling to deviate from their trajectory.Despite the fact I stopped walking,one runner continued to cut across a wide and otherwise empty path directly towards me. Thank you to the several runners on this forum who have shown they are doing their best to comply with the distance advice.Your sense is truly appreciated, I just wish the message would finally get through to what seems to be the majority of runners.

Great local tutor,experienced in online teaching www.mischafosterpoole.co.uk

I honestly don't understand your point, Janmac. The guidelines are clear, we all want to continue to exercise in the outdoors safely. We have every right to object to those who are selfishly or thoughtlessly endangering others. I don't believe anyone is going out to police " transgressers", but if you encounter it whilst doing your best to follow the 2m advice, there is every serious reason to point this out to the people concerned, and/or flag it up for discussion. Maybe some people have simply not clearly understood the issue, may read this thread and be glad to change their behaviour outdoors. Win/ Win, I say. In any case, if people continue to disregard the advice, we will shortly be in complete lockdown, end of...

Also, groups of 3 or 4, walking abreast taking up half the path- please drop into single file to facilitate distance when passing others. And remind your cycling children to keep their distance as well.

To the kind adult cyclists who intervened in the situation between a young boy cyclist and a very aggressive driver- I managed to get the drivers registration. As he was claiming damage to his car, Im concerned he was actually in a collision with the child, in which case Police should be involved, especially as a bystander said he was driving too fast. You escorted the boy home, so perhaps you could PM me for the reg, so you can pass it on to the boys parents.

I have now written to Andy Simmons about this. Perhaps others may also wish to write to their local councillors?

Is it possible to post some information at the site? There is a noticeboard there, for example. And maybe volunteers could leaflet people at approach to woods, to encourage to sign petition and also write to Southwark Council?
