Barry Rhode

Seen many recommendations for Russell Perring in this section of the forum (it is how I decided to go with him) and want to add another one now that he's completed work on our roof. Great guy, well organised, fair price and uses extremely decent workers (polite, tidy and professional). Did the more complicated bits of work himself and closely supervised everything else. His mobile is 07852 972052. Big thumbs up.

Which has a nicer choice of food for a nice Saturday dinner?

Hello I may be forced into moving from East Dulwich to Herne Hill (due to a derth of available ground floor 3 beds with gardens) I'll be putting up my 1 bed flat on Barry Road up for rent soon (before June) Anyway, new commute will likely be from Herne Hill to Farringdon via overland My question is has anyone travelled this route? If so what's the state of the trains at Herne Hill? Are they massively over crowded? Standing is tolerable? Seats are available? The line is First Capital connect and I have the luxury of travelling any time between 8:00 and 8:50 I tried looking for a Herne Hill residents forum but couldn't find one - we're obviously more advanced in East Dulwich Any help appreciated Thanks B

Thanks all :)

I'm guessing the real driving/congested days will be Friday and Monday... I could be wrong...

Hello everybody We were thinking of getting out of town on Saturday and driving down to Brighton for a family day out My wife is six months pregnant and my daughter is 20 months Any ideas? Appreciated Thanks g

Not sure why so many people are surprised about local house prices Location, location, location...

It's going to be some modern build, gated monstrosity, completely out of keeping with the area

Not the one with the Ferrari sticker???? :(

Hello everybody Today I received a letter explaining that there are thieves in the area targeting BMWs for parts, especially bumper assemblies and alloys. They suggest using locking wheel nuts and may offer marking kits. I already have original wheel locking nuts but I want to add some new ones I just bought. I just tried to remove a standard nut from each wheel on my car and the six inch socket extension I was using sheered off! The nuts are on solid! I was using a torque wrench so there was plenty of leverage. When I tried the spanner in the tool kit I also couldn't get the nuts off! I was wondering if there's anyone in the area who has something stronger than a Kamasa socket set I could borrow for 20 mins. Specifcally a six to nine inch extension for a 3/8" square drive Thanks b

I hope it's another estate agent...

Straight into the shredder It's easy to drop rhetorical pamphlets in doorways - never had a candidate at my door canvassing my opinion At least Labour did this... never heard from Tories at all I say, bring 'em on... all colours would get an ear bashing from me

If you make it down to the ClockHouse before 11pm but after poker night ends then the guy who looks like something out of the fast show does a mean set I hear he spins the latest Deelite and everything!

What, are you lazy? Get walking up and down the lane and start looking If you like wine, how different can a <?5 bottle of wine be in an area you are familiar with to East Dulwich? Now, if you're looking for drinking partners you should have said...

Major pain getting home tonight Blackfriar's road was shut from Farringdon to Southwark Tube, took an age to be diverted around Waterloo and then the bus terninated at Peckham Library... Nice Then wait for another bus, making an at best 60 minute journey last 90+ mins That's OK if you have Jeremy Clarkson to look forward to - not so great if you need to get home to the wife and kiddies BR
