Hi all, if you hear any news about games please can you post here, I would like to get involved. Tx

Remove bath panel and wooden frame work (front only) - disconnect waste and taps (probably on flexible connectors) - remove any silicone around edge of bath to free it up then slide the bath as far towards to towel rail and you may have enough room to remove taps and replace. If the bath has adjustable feet drop that may help. It could be possible, pain though. Leave the wall alone.

Spoke to an engineer last week (he wasn't Virgin - but subbing for them). There isn't a fault, what they are doing is changing the amps in the green stations/boxes on the street). Once all the amps are changed the boxes will be ready to take fibre optic. Which he said is going to happen around June. So expect more issues then. Landells area. Apparently changing amps on the dated stations can be a bit hit and miss. Hence long outages. Virgin probably won't tell you this info and log a fault . I'm no fan of the customer service that's why I hunt down engineers.

do any of your neighbours have air con ?

There are a some open studios this weekend in East Dulwich as part of the Festival. Please see link for addresses. http://www.camberwellarts.org.uk/winter-2017/

Sold values for SE22 in past 12 months were +11.6%. Even if they do cool that is quite a buffer for a 12 month period and considering SE22 property values rose during a period of stagnation in recession I am not too worried. The Panama Papers scandal may (possibly) also drive an influx of cash into the market seeing as London is happy to cater for big money, from wherever.

@hagrid 0630 sounds perfect. Thanks.

Polished concrete floors in small spaces can be very expenseive per sq m. Polishing large areas is much cheaper. The reason is the cost for polishing corners, awkward areas, around stairs, columns etc pushes the price right up. Cost effective only in large spaces.

I wouldn't take a buggy on Cox's walk.

@Sue The front gates at P Rye park do shut but there are no other gates so you can just wonder in around the back. Probably why there were loads of tin foil cups in there this morning !!

@rah The gate notice quotes 8am as the opening time.

21 ans 23 SAS are Territorial Units (agreed, probably not logistics though)

I have noticed that some parks around South London give opening times on their gates although they generally seem to be open earlier than that. Does Dulwich Park stick to its 8am opening time ? The reason I ask is that it is fully gated unlike others.

Thanks Dave - much appreciated.
