  1. I agree with Loz. Good service every time.
  2. Very sad and shocked to hear this terrible news, Annabel. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences and I hope you have the necessary support around you to somehow help you cope with such a shock.
  3. Four cyclists killed in our City within last 8 days. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24932049
  4. My partner sends them to Tescos in exchange for Clubcard points.

  6. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/428195/Cycling-to-work-is-more-popular-than-ever I don't cycle in London myself but approve of cycling as a mode of transport and think that it must take courage to cycle in the capital (I wouldn't do it). As a driver I worry about hitting a cyclist as they sometimes seem to appear from nowhere, or put another way, I sometimes only see them at the last second before having to brake sharply. If, as the article shows cyclist numbers are increasing, then I feel that Tfl must improve infrasture to reflect this.
  7. I am curious as to whether you reported the incident to the Police.
  8. Given that the average driving speed in London is around 12 miles an hour, a 20 mph speed limit probably will have very little effect in London. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/london-could-see-20mph-speed-limit-on-nearly-all-residential-streets-by-2020-8648655.html
  9. CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS! OH YES WE'RE CHAMPIONS AT LAST. Not the best game that Dulwich has played, but it was good enough for us to secure promotion and to be champions of the league.
  10. I've been and the upstairs where you can sit down with your laptop is a lot better; there are points at every table for plugging in laptop now and it's generally refreshed.

    The Swiss...

    There are three sides to Switzerland as you may know: French, German and Italian. The sides that I mainly have experience with are French and a bit of the German side. Both sides take themselves very seriously, but the French Swiss are more reserved than the German Swiss. And you are right, sometimes when they greet you even though they know you well, it's done with a very strict face. The Swiss Germans seem to be a bit more outgoing and will go out for a drink and in general are more friendly. They do appear to be more honest in business than in the UK in that they will generally let you know what is going on as opposed to keeping cards too close to their chest and they don't tend to lead you up the garden path with false hopes. In general they are not great talkers though will say what is necessary. I'm not sure if you speak German but being at your customer's base in Zurich, speaking German would help although English is the second language of the German side of Switzerland. This is not the case in the French side where German is the second language and English does not appear to be as widely spoken as in the German side. The office that I worked with in the French side was extremely quiet. You could hear a pin drop, which I found quite good when focussing on something in depth. That's my experience and I hope it helps. Others, no doubt, on the forum will have different experiences.
  12. Don't know if true or not but just heard that the company who leases DH their ground has gone into administration. Can anyone confirm?
  13. Should be interesting http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/news/tannot-takeover-for-the-transp-808266.html.
  14. Dulwich are out of the FA cup. Anyone see the game?
  15. 3 - 1 Cracking FA cup replay. 2 all after extra time and then Dulwich won on penalties.
  16. I fancy going to that, are season tickets valid? If not, how much to watch the game?
  17. Another thumbs up for local bike shop Balfes who did a couple of really good jobs on my wife's hybrid yesterday.
  18. Match preview for RYMAN LEAGUE DIVISION ONE SOUTH PLAY OFF FINAL.
  19. Just to add that Camberwell's main thoroughfare has been blocked off and all buses have been diverted via Peckham. So, if you are going to East Dulwich from Camberwell, the first stop in East Dulwich is outside of Sea Cow on Lordship Lane.
  20. Back up the top of the league.
  21. No need to be like this Udt. Katie is a wonderful person.
  22. Huguenot, I would prefer a radio station be it digital or old fashioned wave band. When I said towing the government line, I was referring to the BBC's coverage of the government's foreign policy. I guess the Beeb realises which hand is feeding it. You know what they say, "never bite the hand that feeds you".;-)
  23. I'm sick of radio stations being UK-centric and towing the Government line. I've found a new (to me) Irish station, which is on longwave. It's a bit more refreshing than listening to the same old repeats on Radio 4 and the BBC World service. As for LBC I don't count them as a news station. Does anyone out there listen to any other good news radio stations. They don't have to be UK-based.
  24. Chambers off to Palace.
