brilliant idea, but Forest hill is too far away. I wish you could stick it where Foxtons is!

I'm getting a whitepage big pause when clicking on 'home' and having to refresh to get page to come up.

he's got seating in the back now so you can eat in in comfort.

our fires work fine on smokeless fuel Sayroo.

I'm a member, think it's very good value. Sometimes, friday 8pmish Ive had pool to myself but absolutley avoid chidlrens times if you are after a lane swim, though if you are a child these times are fantastic and well equipped.Membership entitles you to free classes and use of the gymn. I do zumba twice a week and pilates once, my husband has a badminton court once a week, if you use the facilities a lot it works out very cheap.The pool is lovely.

As part of the open house Dulwich thing, the graffiti artist STIK will be painting the garage doors next to ONE BEAUVAL ROAD SE22. Please go and watch! I ve put this in the WHATS ON but as its such short notice hope the admin don't mind me putting it here too.

Moved to Bellenden area 13 years ago and love it. Live equidistant between ED station and PR station but walk back from PR much lighter and busier. Transport brilliant. Shops lovely. Real family area. and the residential streets are really pretty, specially in spring. We've seen a lot of changes/gentrification but in our experience it's always been very nice, and quite arty and eclectic too. Lots of families.

Peckwich.

lidl fresh bakery croissants and 'rustic' bread, fantastic and dead cheap.

and his sister is housebound and can't go either. However, when my mother was in this situation we were able to arrange for a carer to accompany her in a paid taxi. It did cost an arm and a leg but she made the ceremony- a wedding in this case, despite being immobile and a bit doolally. I do wish Computershorted the best of luck with finding a good arrangement.

if there was a 'like' button, Computedshorty, I would be pressing it many times.

Silent Witness returns to our telly screens tonight.

I agree with First Mate. The theory of 'dominance' as perpetrated by cesar melan etc is generally accepted as outdated, unhelpful and even dangerous. Replace the word 'pack' with the word ' family' and you get a much closer idea to social relations . Our old labrador that we had when I was a child was incredibly submissive re people, and very aggressive re other dogs. This was because he was screwed up by his previous owners!A lovely dog who was a nightmare on walks and who let the burglars in too.

I live round the corner from Waghorn street and have done so for 12years, after a move from Pimlico. I love it- I find it less intense than East Dulwich, though only a few minutes walk away. Also, of course it was much cheaper, the gardens bigger.(at the time) There aren't estates around this bit either. Just the block on Maxted Road From the East Dulwich forum it seems a lot of mugging hotspots seem to be around the Barry Road area on the east dulwich side, specially near the pubs. Bellenden Road is great. Rye Lane pretty run down and shabby, but the walk back from Peckham Rye station is a lot busier and well lit than the walk back from East Dulwich station at night, , and we are equidistant between the two. I know East Dulwich residents four hundred yards away quake at the idea of venturing into SE15 but this little labyrinth of streets used to be part of East Dulwich until the boundaries changed and really it's not very different except in peoples heads.

i love these posters! i wish i could make them into a sandwich board for my dog to wear.

First Mate, I have this very morning had a horrid encounter on this lovely sunny day where an offlead staff pood on a pavement with his oblivious owner walking on ahead. So I called out and pointed it out to which I got all sorts of abuse. I think the dog had a dicky tummy, but even if he wasnt able to pick it up because of liquidity, if it had been on a lead he could have at least guided it into the gutter. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to ever challenge someone again. It acheived nothing except to make me feel a bit vulnerable.

Emily, remember well your awful experience from last year. But please lets not encourage the myth that a dog hostile to other dogs is going to start attacking babies, it just brings out the dog haters.

oh fuzzy, our dog came from a home in midhurst, he was well worth the 55 miles and it ended his terrible loneliness.

jctg, it doesnt take a pit bull to kill a small dog, just any larger dog that gets a grip and shakes it about. The problem here was an out of control dog. The dog wasnt out of control because it was a staffy or a particular breed but because it had a thoroughly irresponsible owner! Bring back dog licences. Last week I sat in the japanese water gardens on Peckham Rye with my dog on his lead sitting by my feet when a totally unaccompanied staffy of some kind came tearing into that enclosure- where dogs HAVE to be on the lead- and started to terrorize the ducks. No one came looking for it. If it had been a dog aggressive dog we would have been totally trapped. The problem was an owner who didnt give a f*** and was probably engrossed in in their mobile on the other side of the park.

the news is full of stories of elderly patients who have died on hospital wards from malnutrtion, dehydration- all these deaths are caused by medical negligence, whatever the excuse, whether too busy, religious convictions or filing their nails, it's still negligence. That is all.

in addtion to what First Mate says, when I went to dog training with Robert-off-dog-borstal who did classes in New Cross, he discouraged any 'play fighting' between dogs when young as he believed it gave dogs fewer inhibitions re aggression and then play could trigger a reflex aggression when they were older in a play situation.

what a terrible, frightening and sad thing to happen. I walk my dog on Peckham Rye and stay far away from any dog that looks like its running out of its owners control orbit. Can you say what time of day this happened- walkers are pretty regular so it may narrow it down to find this person. Big commiserations.

maybe it was for collection on the walk back!

oi! if things about peckham have to be discussed in Lounge, how come Forest Hill has snuck in here?

the gallery behind Bar Story? Blenheim grove? the parking is in cheap car park round corner. Bussey building, Rye lane? parking ditto.
