I agree it?s too loud! I love the old timer music but when we were at the fair it was all far too loud, especially the pop music. Too many speakers.

Thanks very much. I was having trouble with the Lloyds website. All sorted now. Have a good long weekend.

Hello does anyone know of a pharmacy open now or today? Thanks

RM returned my parcel to sender, without ever having actually brought it to the house. They repsonded to my complaint saying that it had the wrong address on. Strange that whichever other address in ED they kept ?trying to deliver it to? was never in either .... Pull the other one RM! We don?t use them at all any more. A real shame.

I have found it impossible to get something actually delivers to my house since early Jan! First I had an email saying that we?d been out. No cars through door. Then I arrange 2 deliveries, no delivery, no card Also, I?ve had a letter today dates 2 weeks ago and another very similar. It is chaos!

We?ve had this too - an email saying they tried delivery (when we were in all day) and no ?we missed you? Card left. I?ve tried to arrange for a ?re? delivery - but it never arrives. So annoying.

If you know who he is, you could get legal advice to pursue him for civil damages (especially if the police aren?t interested). Or, you could challenge the police decision not to progress it (as saying they are unreasonable).

The card shop on LL near co-op sells helium balloons which are very cheap.

Thanks very much!

Hello, Has anyone taken a 3yr old to a local optician and had a good experience? I?d really be grateful for any recommendations Thank you!

Perhaps given the vociferous responses so far, and the total criticism of the questionnaire (even the voluntary questions), those who would say yes aren?t going to do it on the public forum. A survey would be useful ..... ;)

I had a CS at King?s in 2015. The post natal Ward (William Gillat Ward) was horrible - staff were not nice, the Ward was so hot, the one bathroom was disgusting. There was no care. Second CS at Chelsea in 2017, midwives were all lovely, clean, efficient. It felt safer.

Re reserving a space for the school or nursery run. If you have more than one child, it can be quite difficult to get them all from the car to the house, if the car has to be parked miles away, and not leave any child alone. It?s like one of those logic puzzles where you have a fox and a rabbit in a boat ....! To save all that, bins in the road for 5mins, doesn?t seem so bad. It?s not really about that particular space, but being close enough to the house to get hem all in safely, where you can see etc It can

Those curved bendy lights are awful. They don't fit with the surroundings e.g. In Peckham

Re: builders using bins to 'reserve' parking. This is happening every day on our street too. I don't mind if it's irregular to allow for deliveries, but it's just for them to park their vehicle outside. is there a permit they can get to ensure parking/space on delivery days?

I recommend Jon too - he came round within 3 hrs and was friendly and efficient. He was clear about pricing and suggested different priced alternatives as a solution to ge leak.

This is now on Archdale road with the alarm going off intermittently again. I will put a note on it.

Chuff - I'm not sure that's right (that dogs can be off lead on the lawns/grass just outside of the children's play areas. The byelaw says dogs must be on lead for the 'central area' & sports pitches, and the Friend's map seems to show dogs being exercised (I presume off lead) only around the perimeter of the park eg outside the circle of those 'dogs must be kept on a short lead' signs. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/2275/Dulwich_Park_Trail_2011.pdf

I should have looked a bit harder: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/2229/Composite_Dog_Ban_Byelaws.pdf Although I'm not that much wiser after reading the byelaws. Looks like possibly: 1. dogs on leads only in the central landscaped areas, and 2. not at all in children's play areas?

Does anyone know what the rules are for Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye Park re: dogs being on leads? I have checked the council websites and 'friend's of' websites, and nothing. I have seen the actual signs in Both parks re 'dogs must be on a short lead', but does that relate to the whole park, or just the area behind the sign? Thanks for your help,

I've been to the pub 3 times in the last month for lunch: every time it has been really quiet. I'm not sure why, as the menu is interesting and the food has all been great, and the service really friendly. It's much better than a lot of foodie pubs on the lane in my view. So I thought I'd put my opinion on the forum! We've had the squid, the burger, the broad bean gnocchi, roast lamb and good coffee. I did look for existing threads, but couldn't find any.

Hello Can anyone recommend a local car garage to do alloy touch ups, and mopping (apparently this is an external process which removes small scratches on bodywork??). Thanks!

It's not exactly a one off but tonight they are especially loud: shouting/singing/music. Does anyone know what the address is please?

Usually I'm afraid it's because there are more category 1 calls than there are ambulances. They have to ask questions to prioritise based on risk to life eg no breathing, poor breathing, weak heart beat etc. The questions are evidenced based, but not perfect. Every call is an emergency (except of course the hundreds that aren't, but there is no easy way to identify which is which, hence the questions). Ambulances do also have to queue at hospital to handover patients, so sometimes many are out of action. More money & more resources are needed, and less time wasters clogging up the system (obviously not this case).
