Pugwash

Chicken when it is on 'the turn' smells 'off' so easy to detect. When i get chicken thighs (off the bone and skinless) I cook within 24-48 hours, Cooked chicken keeps better so purchased on Saturday, cooked either Sunday or Monday morning and safe to eat. Did tests in A & E show food poisoning?

The 3 people I know who have used this facility are full of praise for the Barclay staff and have no concerns about meeting in a room in the library.

Previously the British Heart Foundation took them away to use in their shops, but they have not done this since Covid. This is why the event did not take place for a year or so. We have a volunteer who takes things to a charity based in Brixton - hence not being able to accept electrical goods etc.

What is wrong with 2 day old bread! If kept in the right environment bread will keep fresh for several days.

Hubby when he does his volunteer shift at St Christopher's, frequently goes in Dulwich Café for a meal. I do so on the odd times am in LL and feeling peckish - some dishes are cheaper than Jonnies.

Try Salvation Army

If my Mum who lived in Lewisham was alive and my daughter, who lives in Bromley, took Mum in her car to visit me, they would park in nearby disabled bay displaying her Blue Badge. Unless there is a national data base for all Blue Badges - you could not determine which council had issued the badge. Disabled Bays are for anyone with a blue badge regardless whether they were issued in Birmingham, Norwich or Southwark. Same as Older Person Freedom passes issued to TFL are acceptable throughout the country.

Have used both of the tradesmen mentioned several times and can recommend them both. Niko has many recommendations on the EDF

There are a number of food banks in N and E London. Maybe easier to goggle them or look up Hackney Council's list of warm hubs and work your way through those who also have food banks etc. I think it is also the Trussell Trust that operates some food banks.

Our neighbour has to display her Blue Badge as she parks in the only disabled bay in our stretch of road. Traffic Wardens/Parking Attendants every now and them swoop down on Barry Road and really target the disabled bays.

Seems out of our price range but imagine it could be around £50 without the alcohol.

I tried a service wash in Brockley and it was not good at all so then tried an online one following Jules-and-Boo's suggestion (thankyou). I tried Love2Laundry. It was more expensive than a local service wash but the duvets came back clean. So I will use again. They collect and drop off. Sounds a good idea - how long did they take to do? When we used Wash and Dry in LL took in morning and collected late afternoon.

I an afraid that this type of theft is not new and has been happening for many years. When my Mum died over 10 years ago we handed back her blue badge to Lewisham who thanked us for being honest! Many families keep hold of them to get free parking/priority parking. The eligibility criteria for a blue badge is hard - need to be on Attendance Allowance/PIP (mobility) and have certain unseen health conditions, or really restricted mobility or partial sight/blindness. The stolen badges are passed on for cash.

We are having similar problems with our 8 year old grandson. In the last couple of years he has exploded at both home and school. His parents split 3/4 years ago and he sees his father (who lives 200 plus miles away) every 2-3 weekends plus holidays as well as talking on phone several times a week. A new male teacher at his school keeps in regular touch with my daughter and has confirmed that last autumn when he was 7, he had a reading age of 9 plus was working with maths and science subjects at a 9/10 year old level. He is very good with computers and at Christmas successfully guided his 24 year old graduate aunt through some complicated PowerPoint work. (She is very good with IT generally and was surprised that her nephew was so advanced) School is meeting my daughter next week to discuss a 'behavioural plan' along with the SENCO. They recognise that computers are 'his thing' and he will be allowed to have 20 mins at end of each day to do coding, but 10 minutes only if he has an outburst. The rest of the plan to be discussed next week. My daughter has been in touch with Young Minds and there is a 2 year waiting list for CAMS. A psychological assessment and interview plus report will cost in the region of £800 plus privately. My grandson is possibly frustrated as clearly academically advanced - hopefully the new plan will work

Each street lamp has a identifying number - sometimes quicker to tell council of number and location. Has worked in past.

Not heard about new ownership of Elms it is a Methodist home. Had new Care Manager in last few months, most of the old staff seem to ne there. Manley Court has a variable history - depending on Managers and staffing.

Depends on which end of LL you are looking at. A long road going from Goose Green to The Grove Tavern. Some houses have front gardens and lay back from the road. others are almost on the pavement. We live on Barry Road and are used to the noise/traffic (and have double glazing) but family members who live in Worthing find it too noisy and hate staying overnight. They do not like the light pollution either

The Elms in Barry Road has a consistent good reputation. Residential and like most homes- expensive. If your father qualifies for financial assistance from Social Services- they will not be able to meet the full fees so you will need to do a 3rd party contribution of a few hundred pounds. Age UK have good leaflets re care home funding as this is quite a complicated issue. Greenhithe in Brayards Road Peckham also has a good reputation . Run by Anchor Care Homes? Rose Court in Rotherhithe. Most care homes have a waiting list. Has your father been assessed by the Hospital Discharge Team Social Worker? The assessment will advise whether he needs a residential or nursing home. Also will undertake a financial assessment of his income and savings.

Many thanks for your replies - I however tend if I am busy with other things (i.e 2 hospital appointments in 2 days) do not catch up with EDF for 2/3 days. Have had replies with offers but it would seem that my car would need to have a cigarette lighter attachment (or whatever it is called) in order to use a pump. Being an old car 2004 - I do not have this (as a non smoker I have never required this). Last time I had tyres pumped was around October/November. Prior to that it was August when son in law came up from Dartford and we went to petrol station to pump and top up prior to a holiday in Sussex. I have replied by PM to a couple of offers but they required the cigarette lighter to connect pump.

Went to Gibbon Road last week- assumed that place was closed as could not see any visible indication of a laundrette.

I believe that sometime ago a religious organisation wanted the premises but there was a lot of opposition from residents and Lewisham re parking and noise.
