I always say if you want to know what life would be like without the NHS get a dog. we plan to use Mrs Robson next time we have an issue - our dog suddenly developed a limp a couple of months ago and she gave us free fantastic advice over the phone - saved money/time/stress. Hope she doesnt retire soon!

Its a bus gate rather than a school gate and not on the school gate list on council website - even though the timings, morning & afternoon- clearly suggest its there to limit traffic during travel to/from schools. Im guessing it doesnt get suspended during hols.

Thanks for posting this - i've always avoided school streets throughout the year. I hadnt noticed any signs saying they arent 'active' during hols - maybe because i avoid them!

The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again!

Just a warning that school gates in Southwark still apply in holidays, even bank holidays like Boxing Day if they fall on weekdays. Unlike in Lewisham where i saw this school gate sign temporarily blanked out tonight. (Apols for pic quality - taken by passenger while moving). Why can't Southwark also suspend them?

Not they've gone. Everything has been ripped out. No sign of anyone new yet.

Are there catchment areas for surgeries ? I thought you could take your pick.

Niko hardly needs another recommendation but we use him regularly. He's good value, he turns up when he says - or tells you if he can't - and definitely knows what he is doing.

Real Life was released in 1978. Yes it is a classic album.

Saw the aftermath of another phone theft on east dulwich grove by trio last night. Then half an hour later spotted them biking back to 'work'. Crazy the police can't do anything about this - they are clearly cruising the same streets.

Can anyone shed any light on what Southwark Council spends the money it makes from events like Gala on?

Seems ok at last now!

Virgin media seems to be down or is it just us? Wondering if due to high local demand due to park events?

I stopped getting prescriptions there as they are not open on saturday.

That's interesting that the system can do that and at least give you some information - when my camper van was stolen around seven years ago nobody ever mentioned it being spotted on ANPR. It actually received a parking ticket in Beckenham but even though the theft had been reported the ticketing process didn't flag up that it was a stolen vehicle otherwise it could have been recovered. Good luck, I'll keep an eye out.
