Huggers

Yup, he's got a very deep bark. What we do have is old lady type net curtains,

sounds very similar KestonKid. He wasn't interested in trying house next door or phoning up.

But he backed off quickly, so don't think sales. And did a lot of theatrical sighing. Out of work actor possibly.

Employ by the hour and if she runs out of things to do, give her extra jobs like cleaning fridge, windows or whatever till time up.

Yesterday afternoon, Bellenden area, (30/7/15) doorbell rang and man with clipboard started (i think) to talk about 'engineering work in the area' - and when i responded with the usual 'we've done all work we want to do'produced a clip board and said he'd been called out to repair my boiler. He had our address but different name and phone number on slip board. We are so used to random callers, i am assuming it was scam to gain entry into house should off school teens or confused elderly answer door. On the other hand it could be genuine mistake, though i felt he was working very hard to amicably present far too much information ('oh isn't this a council house then?') and wasn't that interested in my suggestion of ringing the number on his clipboard (all hand-written)to find the real boiler customer. White, male, middle aged, cheeky chappy. I am sure my yawning dopey seventeen year old would have given him full unsupervised range of the kitchen, so a heads up to let em know only to let in the expected!

Quite a few streets were incorporated into this bellenden regeneration scheme of the early noughties including us in Nutbrook Street. we got railings, victorian style pathway tiles of our choice, doors and windows painted and repointing. all for a hundred quid. Fun times of community meetings. Our only regret is that we didnt choose bedding for our narrow front gardens instead of slabs.

nor can I post under forum matters to report the fact it is not posting my message

just that. but if this is posted then this bit is working. this is working but lost and found isn't. I am trying to post a message about a lost passport.

Aha!my bad.

Fence to right, looking out from back of property is theirs, left is yours.

the wild bits of Camberwell old cemetery. One Tree Hill.

he's lived here for yonks.

mine were in flower beds and I just chopped em, but only a couple of shoots.

I had something similar to your first photo sprouting and a gardening friend suggested wild cherry.

If you use boarding kennels you have to be up to date.

My rust-free reliable 1998 polo estate is now due for a cambelt change and i need a club tO tell me when it's time to let go- at 115,000 miles or do,they go on and on and on?

I had a similar thing parking at the southern end of Peckham Rye and builders leapt out and said I had hit a sports car behind me. I was nowhere near it and there was no mark. I got my phone out and said I was phoning my insurers and they went back inside. I warned my insurers that I thought it was a scam. I don't think the men even owned the car! This was a couple of years back.

have they all gone?

it's more important for me to have good shoe repairs, personally as anyone, honest or dishonest, can smile.

I went into Merryfield's today to get a shoe repaired - the cobbler told me Timpson's has cut his trade by half, even minor repairs have had a major impact on business. I was taking in my boots which were leaking- I had gone to Timpson's three weeks ago to get them re-heeled at a cost that ended up being three pounds more than Merryfield, as they cut down my heel to accommodate where I had worn them too far, whereas Merryfield would have built them back up to the original height. Except he wouldn't- because as he pointed out, my Irreparable soles had gone past the point of no return and any repair at all was a waste of money. I'm back to Merryfield's after this, supporting a local business and craftsman.

Clashes with Glastonbury.
