  1. This job has been done by Daniel and here is a glowing recommendation: Not all builders are equal. Having been let down by my builder, Daniel (07539353626) stepped in at the last minute to help and what a help. How fantastic to have someone turn up when they say they would, do a brilliant job and a great cleanup after themselves. I could not have asked for a more skilled, affable, solution focused individual. So shout out and thanks!
  2. Thanks for your replies, I need a cat flap cut into a wall Many thank for your recommendations!
  3. What the building needs is windows that open. Vast sums have been spent on air conditioning and fans that do not work and take up space. What is needed is windows that crank open at the top of each room. Counting 10 years and the air temperature control in this building has hemoraged money
  4. There are 2 golf clubs Near Dulwich College and Benchley Gardens maybe report to both of them?
  5. The "little" St Christopher's on Lordship Lane needs a volunteer for flexible hours that suit you! http://www.stchristophers.org.uk/shop/east-dulwich/ If retail sales for a great charity is something you can fit into your week.... please stop into the shop and discuss! They really really need help. And when you need a great hospice for great care all of us might really really need them. x
  6. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/27/technology/router-fbi-reboot-malware.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news This must be an international issue? As simple as "Off then ON" takes a minute quote: Hoping to thwart a sophisticated malware system linked to Russia that has infected hundreds of thousands of internet routers, the F.B.I. has made an urgent request to anybody with one of the devices: Turn it off, and then turn it back on. The malware is capable of blocking web traffic, collecting information that passes through home and office routers, and disabling the devices entirely, the bureau announced on Friday. A global network of hundreds of thousands of routers is already under the control of the Sofacy Group, the Justice Department said last week. That group, which is also known as A.P.T. 28 and Fancy Bear and believed to be directed by Russia?s military intelligence agency, hacked the Democratic National Committee ahead of the 2016 presidential election, according to American and European intelligence agencies. The F.B.I. has several recommendations for any owner of a small office or home office router. The simplest thing to do is reboot the device, which will temporarily disrupt the malware if it is present. Users are also advised to upgrade the device?s firmware and to select a new secure password. If any remote-management settings are in place, the F.B.I. suggests disabling them.
  7. Hat off to you James. You did this and so much else.
  8. The responses to this are jaw dropping. Since when do residents and contractors have the right to break and soil the public right of way. Paint not on a designated surface is a hazard. No one has the right to force me to watch out for your dogs shit or paint on my shoes or buggy wheels or car tyres for that matter. I don't want an ugly shared space. Litter glass refuse of any sort that makes us poor. Yes, poor isn't money it's a state of mind. Everyone responding to this point. My neighbours it seems.
  9. Expanding on my comment: As I walk the streets of "ED" I see what you championed everywhere. I've lived here long enough to know and appreciate and attribute correctly. You changed the living environment for the better and I am sorry to see you go.
  10. Thank you James for everything you have done. You are a thoughtful leader and excellent politician.
  11. As a candidate for Goose Green Councillor and current East Dulwich Councillor, James, I have attached a photo of one of the Dulwich Baths class studios. The photo shows the history of wasted money in trying to regulate temperature. All the building needs are windows that open in the studios. Instead as the years have gone by money has been spent with no result but frayed tempers and class conflict resulting most recently in the accumulation of comic errors including: huge air-conditioning machines and fans as seen in the picture. The noise of the machines means they are not used during class. Light reflecting film stuck to the windows. The studio temperature remained the same and now it is so dark the lights are on on sunny days. A window has been boarded with a ventilating hole All the rooms need are windows that open. That's it.
  12. Please respond to Southwark Cyclists on this: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/dulwich-village-junction-update-late-january-2018/ https://s3.amazonaws.com/lcc_production_bucket/files/12529/original.pdf?1519044165 Many people think a lot of money has been spent on a result that falls far short
  13. We swept and gritted the pavement in front of our house. 5 minutes but I might be exaggerating how long it took to get your sympathy
  14. These two problems have been conflated by the Council in this way: We cannot have trees because double buggies and wheelchairs cannot pass (not true and in any event the majority of london pavements compete for space). Bins blocking most of the pavement well that goes unremarked war after year. Loads of beautiful and creative ways to touch all bases: traffic calming no speed bumps bins pavements trees the whole shebang Build out judiciously
  15. Separately We?re losing our street trees on Upland Rd and there?s no announced plan to replace them. I accept the trees have gone through disease and safety. But it seems in 2018 we have no solid knowledge of which trees work and how to plant them subject to street and pavement restrictions. Quite honestly I despair that each and every amenity to day to day quality of life has to be begged and fought for. While a line of trees down a city street is not the canopy nature needs it does help fight pollution, noise and there?s just no end of words to describe urban design and children?s mental health.
  16. On this subject James, wheelie bins and where they are kept, the south end of Upland Rd has houses built on slopes with no provision for bin storage. 50 bins and more take all the pavement as well as being ugly. Solutions. Few owners take the cost of building recessed storage so 1. The Council helps with cost to home owners 2. A parking space is allocated for the bins in an on street built enclosure like allocated cycle parking on street Doing nothing is what we?ve had. It?s ugly and blocks the pavement.
  17. We were in a house where the neighbours hung out their window a few inches from one of ours to smoke and chat All their smoke was sucked into our house along with their chat. The adjoining wall wasn't the problem
  18. There's an ongoing, years long standing issue with the temperature and hygiene of the exercise room used for Pilates. Please read this as entirely neutral as to what the temperature should be for a class or teacher preferences. The problem is that the temperature cannot be adjusted or changed so that a hot class followed by a cooler class.... well hot is the default mode and hotter is the only possibility of the centralised system. The series of measures taken to control temperature is a case study for business and equally engineering academic analysis. Heat exchangers, geo thermal, solar hot water could have all been installed. The quality of the plumbing hardware beggars belief. Which reader here would install the mini sinks in the toilets and who among you would hire plumbers who time and again leave appliances leaking. But the crowning glory of incompetent management and engineering is the lack of a window that opens in the exercise areas. What would be a levered open for 5 minutes to let the hot air and damp out has over years and years been a series of costly ineffective measures: Massive cooling machines taking up precious floor space. Windows covered in shading adhesive cladding which leaves the rooms dark on sunny days requiring lights glaring into eyes. This building haemorrhages maintenance money and the complaints never stop. But a poorly designed building and the complaints it generates aren't matched up. So what we have is taxpayer anger and Council push back with threats about our incivility and lack of gratitude. That's my view
  19. I load children. I NEVER load street side. I always load pavement side. This is a no brainer that 99 in 100 adults do not get and I am dumbfounded (while I appreciate that you and those 99 adults would just call me dumb. Go figure, which is why I bring it up. Please explain. Just move your car seat. Let the children scoot to the seat side. Lean in.) All those wide open doors into streets forcing wide manoeuvres. Wide open doors with butts poking way way out while adults carefully adjust safety straps and harnesses.
  20. We have an I3. Ask for a charge point on your street. There might be one already not too far off. The battery charge makes this a city car only which is inconvenient for sports events requires kit more than 35 miles away. But it?s a great city car.
  21. The vast majority of drivers do all their loading kids and parcels on the street side doors. Why? Every day I see kids sent to load themselves through the street side door or parents loading babies into car seats from the street side door of the car. The complete illogic of this and the near universal fact leaves me incredulous.
  22. Bellenden Road: Otherwise Address: 141 Bellenden Rd, Peckham, London SE15 4DH Phone: 020 7635 8044
  23. I also need a basket of small things done: painting a couple of rooms fixing a shower stall leak hanging shelves from 3 walls a "cold bridge" resolved that has resulted in a crumbly surface over an exterior door
  24. I?m writing this around the corner from you on Virgin broadband. No problem cross fingers knock wood
