Add to that all the particulates and solvent fumes from the endless building work going on and you have a recipe for disaster......the real problem is overpopulation when all is said and done.....

Fox on the Hill is where I went.(I assume as Wetherspoon's is a chain they all do it....)

Fox on the Hill Wetherspoon's...I don't like the Capitol personnally

Google how to connect an electric cooker and watch a video and check their connection. I've always done my own connecting- it's just like a 3 pin plug but there is a 30amp fuse associated with a cooker and it's on a separate circuit from the household rings

Oh sorry- BHS, One-up, Primark- I knew it had 3 changes- still an indicator of the changing 'fortunes' of Rye lane

Mexican Monday at the Wetherspoon's...brilliant

Dress as a Romanian...they were expelled because their public broadcaster did not pay 16 million Swiss francs to the EBU

At least they pay the full tax whack....The large store on the corner of Hanover Park and Rye lane was a beacon to the status of Peckham. When I first moved to ED it was an M and S, then it changed to a BHS, and then a Primark...

Just had the Cancer Research knocking on my door....

If other flats have mice and you cannot block the holes up you will need to be absolutely scrupulously clean in your flat including hoovering sofas out etc or they will come and breed. We had this problem once where the next door flat had mice- you could see them running around in their kitchen from our window. We blocked all the skirting gaps (fortunately all furniture was free standing),and cleaned up every single crumb (equivalent to a loaf of bread to a mouse!) and they left. We didn't use traps or poison as we had small children at the time. Good Luck

We had this problem...on a school/ work night they should stop at 8pm if they know you have kids....they should do these noisy things on Fridays or Saturdays

there are humans with either acquired or hereditary tolerance of warfarin so as mice are mammals the immune ones will be the ones to take over

Yes- 4 cheers for spiders....

A relative owns a flat in a council block that has central heating with a boiler in the basement and supplies all the flats. The council replaced the system and my relative's share was divided up into instalments payable over several years. Obviously the central heating benefits everyone. Someone else I know lives in a block of social housing and privately owned, and the water bill for the whole block is divided up equally amongst each flat- even though there are singles, childless couples, and people with families at home all day... The council have got to deal with this http://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/southwark-council-owed-millions-in-rent-arrears-every-year/ Generating parking fines won't do it- so they will fleece anyone who is a sitting duck

The Right to Buy was firstly in the Labour manifesto of 1959 fyi Blah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_Buy

I've got black spiders everywhere in the lawn in my garden- they run away when I bend down to pull weeds- they are mostly around the edges of the lawn near the flower beds- they are just natural...

After Ibrox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971_Ibrox_disaster West Ham had stickers all over the place reminding people to act in a civilised manner. Did other grounds have the same stickers because I did not travel to away games and the only other ground I visited was Clapton F.C.

Unfortunately NOBODY holds them to account- and it has always been so because of local democracy- you vote Labour you take your chances

eBay, China....mmmmhhhh

The London Assembly (who scrutinise the mayor) has 12 Labour members and 13 of all the others put together including 2 UKIP for the first time

The tax payers' pocket is not a bottomless pit

As a parent I always felt that it was my responsibility to do the 'creative outdoor learning' evenings, weekends and holidays. My own experience of primary school was one of mostly academic work, i.e. the 3 Rs, some singing, PE now and again, but mostly comprehension, non-verbal and verbal reasoning, and a lot of heavy- duty numeracy- in a competitive atmosphere -and there was no let-up at weekends because at home our relatives relentlessly tested us.

Ken is more of a reptile man...newts if I recall

There used to be one on Grange Road just past Crystal Palace on the way to Croydon

They've got Thursday off- why don't they do their 'creative outdoor learning' then?
