Post on Friday - bank statements for December/January. plus hospital letter dated 14th November.

Would be interested in where you ordered your 'new build from' My son in law is going to look at what Argos have as new stock expected. I am not IT savvy so would have to get an expert in to install programmes and transfer my existing files and hotmail account over to new machine.

if you think this lady is a 'scammer' perhaps a word with your local Safer Neighbourhood Police Team if you have an idea where she lives (or walks dogs)

My old Compac Tower hard drive is proving to be too slow for many of the programmes I need to access. Need to upgrade to a Tower hard drive capable of taking Windows 10. Would like to keep my monitor and keyboard. Not keen on the 'all in one' type. Currys/PC world now sell more laptops that desk based and are also very low on all stock (according to grandson who works there). Argos seem to have brands I have never heard of i.e. Horizon. I use my PC mainly for emails, writing reports, playing solitaire, downloading articles and of course EDF. Also have several USB for other professional re ports. I have WI FI in the house. Any suggestions where I can go to purchase new tower other than Argos/PC world.? Not keen on ordering on line due to postal difficulties - but can pick up if reasonable local.

A neighbour put his tree in our garden as thought it would be collected along with rubbish. However it was not. We have said if it is not collected next week he will have to make alternative arrangements.

The East Dulwich Community Centre was approached by Barclays, who were offered some hours to meet at the centre. However, Barclays did not get back to them.

Billy and his team replaced our boiler and water heaters last week. Very thorough, tidy, and very reasonable cost. Am glad we followed up on all the recommendations.

This guy is very well known to Dulwich Hill SNT- following a previously reported incident, the team were looking for CCTV evidence before taking the next step. Please report this incident.

Dulwich Hill SNT were alerted recently about similar incidents in Friern Road. Please contact them re Barry Road.

Post arrived today in Barry Road - letters dated 30th October. Still no sign of a replacement bank card as current one runs out this month.

A friend who lives in Champion Hill, has for years used henna to colour her hair and found a local hairdresser to do this for her. Unfortunately this hairdresser has retired so my friend is looking for an alternative colourist. Friend is Canadian and has used henna for over 30 years as it does not cause any allergic reactions. She has mobility problems and needs to take mini cabs everywhere. She is not able to apply this herself and usually has her hair cut at the same time. Anybody know of a reasonably local hair salon who would offer this service?

If you are a resident or have a business in Dulwich Hill Ward - come along and meet your ward police officers. Meeting commences at 6.30 pm in the cafe area of Christ Church Barry Road. Wednesday 9th November 2022.

We too have been trying to contact Billy etc - left 3 messages on phone (both numbers). They have such good recommendations so must be very busy.

Check with them if they have a 'polluting car' as if they do not they will not have to pay. My daughter comes up from Sussex for a couple of days and does not have to pay the charge. You can check on the website whether your car will be charged - all you need to do is put in registration number. My car is 16 years old and I do not have to pay the charge.

The cafe at Christ Church Barry Road is doing a 3 course Christmas Lunch for £25 for one week only in December. Contact Elaine or other catering staff for details of menu, dates and times. Advance booking essential.

Last resort the recycling centre. Many organisations do not have money to pay for paint if they only have a small area to cover. Have in the past donated to a centre - but they are not in current need of any this time.

Not really sure what to call them but years ago there were charities/organisations where you could donate left over paint. I have loads of half full but usable tins of paint which are just gathering dust. I know that years ago there was somewhere near ED where we could drop them off.

Food taken to some of the food banks need to be non perishables, Those who have drivers etc do take fresh foodstuffs. All food needs to be in date.

I like Farmers and have found their prices reasonable. I may go to the new Poundland store if I am at that end of LL.

Further to my previous comment it may be worth reporting him tp Southwark's Trading Standards Officers.

We go to Ms. Robinson vet in Highshore Road. We transferred there many years ago as Lomax Vets (by Grove Tavern) - we felt they not very good. They failed to diagnose cancer in our dog who had his leg amputated a couple of weeks later. We knew a veterinary . nurse who worked in an Orpington surgery whose vet was a breed specialist and who diagnosed the cancel. Too far to keep going to Orpington so was recommended Ms. Robinson.

Might be worth mentioning it to local SNT (Police). An elderly friend was scammed in a similar way some years ago and mentioned it to our SNT who were very interested as they knew that several people had paid up front for work which was either never undertaken or badly done. With the help of my friend they set up a situation and caught the men in question. Police can access mobile phone details and get names and locations.

Who is responsible for maintaining a combination sewer? Myself and 2 neighbours share a sewer which runs from the first house across the garden of next door and myself, runs down to the street via my front garden and the manhole is in my garden. Was told years ago that it was Southwark 's not Thames Water's responsibility to maintain this. Currently the cement around the manhole is broken and the metal cover has also broken. Have had to put a sheet of wood over hole to prevent cats etc from falling down it. If it is Southwark - which department?

Last time I heard- the police had taken away his pole and were awaiting some CCTV evidence. He is known to Dulwich Hill Neighbourhood team Suggest you email [email protected]
