if you mean the one at Camberwell Green it sadly turned into flats a few years ago. Spent many a night there in my youth. There was one at south end of Rye Lane but i think that's also gone.

Caught the tail end of a news report on this over breakfast so it should also be on local BBC news at lunchtime and this evening.

Fascinating - I'm fairly local though not that old enough to know for sure, but I would guess the bomb site was on the left as you drive up Townley towards the lights where the box-shaped smaller houses (probably 1960s) are.

Story is behind a paywall but no need to read it - it's the same story as ours all over the country. In fact ours is worse than some of the stories mentioned here of people only getting post once a week. Some people in SE22 dream of getting post once a week! https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/royal-mail-investigated-over-delivery-failures-ksw8b6qgb

Interested to see other reviews. Just for balance I thought it was nice but my partner wasn't blown away. Although everything is freshly prepared she felt the starters - prawn toast and gyoza – were the kind of thing you could buy in a supermarket. Mains - stir fry and pad thai – were good. Service polite and friendly but mains were brought rather too quickly -while we were still eating starters. I'd read above that it could get busy so we booked for 7.45 on a Thursday which is usually the busiest midweek night. There were two other couples when we arrived and I think about one couple there when we left around 8.45pm. I imagine it could have a nice buzzy atmosphere if busier. I do hope it does well - it's definitely good value at the moment, soft launch lasts until October 27 so I hope more people try it and post their thoughts here. (edited to add corkage is £2.50 but per person not per bottle so a good deal if you want a boozy night, not so good if you are driving and only have half a glass).

Amazingly we had deliveries on two consecutive days last week which, given how awful things usually are, feels like an improvement - even though they were both at around 7pm!

You'd better not go to the Palladium then - two glasses of red wine in the interval last Saturday – £26.

I recently received a credit card that i hadn't applied for. Don't know how they had enough info to apply for it.

Having recently become a pet owner I now say to people if you want to know what the NHS would be like if it was privatised get a dog and take it to a vet.

Similar problems here - had a few calls - most times the line went dead when I answered, but one got as far as saying my name and then appeared to put the phone down. It feels as if they are an agency/call centre and are maybe being paid per call they make, not per appointment they make.

But why do you have to be a Southwark resident to be exempt? My partner's mother has a Wandsworth blue badge and would have to go the scenic route to get to us during restricted times. It's not as if all the Wandsworth/Lambeth blue badge holders are just going to rush to Dulwich to stampede through bus gates.

i don't know if this kind of traffic is normal as it's not a journey I usually do, but it took me 30 minutes to get from Gails Dulwich Village to Lordship Lane via Townley Road earlier this evening - a journey that would have taken around 3 minutes before Calton Ave was closed.* *I wouldn't dream of driving just to the shops that close, this was a final stop-off on a much longer trip.

I'm afraid people are going to keep being caught out thinking that when the roads are quiet in school holidays/Easter/Xmas the restrictions don't apply. I was fined on Boxing Day which was a Monday. I had a reasonably constructive email correspondence with a councillor who seemed to acknowledge that maybe the restrictions were not needed as much during school holidays but said a change could not be implemented as the school holidays were not aligned. I suggested that Southwark Could at the very least suspend the restrictions on Bank holidays as all schools are closed on Bank holidays but didn't receive a reply. I imagine with the current run of May Bank holidays Southwark's coffers are due to be topped up.

Yes, if you look closely a label that says "4.30pm" has been stuck over where it said "4pm" last week. In answer to your previous question I got a quick reply from Richard Leeming via his email address.

Interestingly this echoes our experience with a different local vet (I won't name and shame but they are also a big one) . My daughter picked up some flea treatment for us last summer and paid on the spot. When we went there a few months later they said we still owed £55 for the flea treatment. I showed them a text from my daughter with the precise amount coming out from her account on the day the flea treatment was picked up according to their own records but they still insisted that we send an email stating this. Every business wants to make money and balance their books, but I can't ever recall having to go through the same laborious process when I've simply bought something somewhere else. Like below it doesn't reflect well on customer service.

Thanks, I did that yesterday and got a pretty prompt reply saying the sign with the incorrect time went up after my PCN was issued. I've asked for a more specific date.

sorry, the sign has definitely been changed from 4.30pm to 4pm at some point in the recent past. I've just gone on street view and screengrabbed this image where the same sign that currently says 4pm clearly says 4.30pm.

Having paid the fine i'm not going to get obsessed by it. i think I'll probably just fire off an email to southwark and maybe cc Helen Hayes, and Southwark News (as someone suggested earlier) with the pictures attached. I'll leave it at that and cross my fingers. I'll use your link to complain too. Thanks.

I don't think I saw it on Boxing Day, it's that period of the year when you lose track of the days and I think as we were going out for a late family lunch in my head i thought it was a Sunday and the times didn't apply. I imagine i wasn't the only one. I presume Southwark Council would have a record of when it was changed from 4.30pm to 4pm. But I've got no doubts that there has been a discrepancy between the two signs for at least a fortnight and I would presume that if people are being fined for driving through the bus gate between 4pm and 4.30pm while they've been like that they'd have a pretty persuasive case for having the fine cancelled. (it's possible they are currently not fining people after 4pm I suppose).
