Cricket Match report showed Rye Lane not LL, Video taken from Heaton Arms area down towards Choumert Rd.

bank statement posted late September arrived yesterday, but hubby's statement from same branch arrived end of September.

I like many others were caught up yesterday in the long queues of traffic in LL from Goodrich Road to Goose Green and wondered why the P$ and P13 buses were going up LL. Hubby had been down LL earlier in the day and had commented on the traffic. I noticed at junction of LL and EDG there was a diversion sign, and on my return journey noticed another diversion sign at junction LL/Barry Road. All well and good if you know what the problem is and why diversion is needed, but to stick up signs diverting traffic who have no idea why, where they are diverting to etc is useless. It peeves me and I have always said if I got invited to Room 101 on TV - this would be my hate/dislike to be binned! I did follow a diversion sign some years ago between Beckenham and Bromley - Had not the faintest idea where I was going and after several minutes went back on myself and ignored the sign and carried on my normal route. Whatever/Where ever the problem was it was not apparent on that day.

My GP surgery is not using their waiting room, GPs collect their patients via a side door

Above is all good advice and people are more in tune to current rental prices than I am. I was basing on advice some years ago by estate agent for our own 4 bed house they quoted ?1500 pm. Since then ED has become more desirable and housing costs have risen. If I remember - Orpington goes to London Bridge/Victoria as my granddaughter uses this line frequently.

Last chance to nominate yourself or others as candidates for election. Meetings are generally held (under normal circumstances) 10 times a year.

I would imagine if you are looking for a 4 bed rental property in South East London you are looking around ?2000 per month. Child Minders charge anything from ?7 per hour, nurseries around ?50 per day and generally have long waiting lists Council tax for a 4 bed house is likely to be around ?1599 - ?2000 per year depending on area. Judging from own experience with family, with 2 children assuming you do not purchase very expensive food, you will probably have to allocate a budget of at least ?3000 a month but this obviously be influenced by housing, transport and utility costs. Cheaper areas near ED - Forest Hill/Sydenham, Penge. If you want to move out further - Orpington is quite good having a variety of housing stock.

University Libraries are gradually opening for their students and have a maximum number of students allowed in to undertake work etc. In Leeds which has student population of around 14,000 over several sites, they are only allowing 100 students in their largest library (which holds several hundreds) and these have to be booked on line in advance. Upstairs in Dulwich Library where most of the users are - could operate a booking system and limit numbers. Downstairs in the lending library, I rarely saw more than 15 people - most congregated area was by the computers and photocopier. Most people just want to get books and leave - the most time I have ever spent in the library is 20 - 30 mins. A queuing system at the entrance hall could easily be introduced.

I tried to find this earlier in year but nothing.

SE22-2020 writes;- i don't think many people disagree that we all need a lot less car journeys in our cities (more difficult in the countryside). so what we need is more buses and things like boris bikes. Then disabled and old people should be able to drive if they have got a proper blue sticker showing they can't use buses and tradespeople get permits to drive. the rest of us get off our arses and use public transport. if they can do it in skandanavia then we can do it, right? Old and Disabled people should be able to drive if they have a blue sticker - I guess that this is a Disabled Persons Blue Badge. Does he/she not realise that nowadays it is extremely hard to qualify for a Blue Badge. I have several friends with varying disabilities ranging from Alzheimer's Disease, severe arthritis, partially sighted, wheelchair users who do not qualify for Blue Badges. Those like my mum, who needed a wheelchair outside had great difficulty getting a badge as she could walk slowly around her flat. She eventually got a Badge when it was revealed that she was on CAPD (renal dialysis undertaken at home/in community twice a day) and she had to carry all her dialysis material around if she went out for more than 4 hours). As a car driver, I have cut down on my driving now that I have retired and tend to use the car mainly for a large shop (I like to see what I an buying so do not do on line)visit family who live in Kent and Sussex. I use buses to get to Rye Lane, Forest Hill and Lordship Lane. I do volunteer to drive elderly friends at times especially in the evenings so they can attend meetings/social events. Due to my own disabilities I cannot ride a bike, and am limited in how far I can walk. Whereas I agree we need to have less polluted environment - there has to be a compromise.

echoing what the above poser said-I left my things on a shelf provided by the pool- I would book online and go on the waitlist-I did that and the day before slots became available. FYI if you dont have the App for the Covid tracking point your camera on your phone at the QR code (the square box with the pixels in)and that should lead to opening Safari so you can still log your details. Hope this makes sense-I'm sure someone could explain it better! Some of us only have basic Nokia phones, some of which do not have cameras.

We opened our door at 8 30 am today and were surprised to see post!

Having tried almost daily to book a slow lane swim for hubby- all daytime and evening slots are full up 7 days in advance. New system is that you have to use an app for Track and Trace - for those with a basic phone without apps- we have asked whether the pen and paper system is still in place. Also - no lockers available - you have to take pot luck that your cards/phones are not stolen.

Anyone selling door to door needs to have a licence = police advice is to ask to see person's licence and if none produced notify neighbourhood police. They collect information as may relate to other crimes in the area.

Many years ago I joined Gingerbread following a breakup of a relationship. I had a 6 year old daughter at the time. As time went on I became the Welfare Officer for the local group and found companionship with other single parents. I met my husband at the group and we have now been married 38 years, we each have a daughter by previous relationships and 'our' daughter

Kevin and I did one watch early evening together, the other was done earlier during the afternoon was with 2 other members of the residents association. Kevin is very flexible about dates, times and locations and loves his job.

Needs minimum of 2 people - one with gun and other to write down registration plate.

tedfudge Yesterday, 09:16PM Would like this done in Barry road The speed some drivers and motor bikes Do are outrageous and overtaking on Wrong side of the road Please see my post of 30th August. I personally took part in 2 road watches with Kevin and I am aware several other residents took part in others and were concentrating on the area of Barry Road between the Rye and Underhill Road. Suggest that tedfudge contact Kevin and suggest another road watch in Barry Road.

I did my Child Observation (many years ago) and used a local nursery. I got a letter from my course tutor who confirmed that I had the necessary security clearance. Good luck

Thursday 17th - nobody could get up Dog Kennel Hill due to an accident, so all traffic was diverted via ED Grove/ Redpost Hill/Sunray Avenue

Having been in an emergency ambulance a couple of times this year, they tend to use Sat Navs to get to destinations. On one of my journeys the Sat Nav sent them down the back streets of ED and then back onto Lordship Lane. If they had known the route, could have got to the same area in less time by just turning right at a junction instead of turning left.

Closure of DKH from Sainsbury's upwards at 3.50 this afternoon - police cars and a lorry stationed by traffic lights opp DKH school

I did my Child Observation Study at a local council nursery. Child was a 2 year old and I had to observe her for 6- 8 weeks.
