I have just seen two green lime bikes being ridden in College Rd. in heavy traffic with two tiny children perched in the front plastic baskets. I am not permitted to climb a ladder unaided yet this is legal.

It seems ironic that we are all being shafted by the mad net zero obsession whilst local indolent highways jobsworths can still create massive delays and pollution when ever and where ever they choose by dreaming up yet another expensive and unnecessary road excavation.

Minor Road works have been drifting along seemingly for months outside West Dulwich station causing massive tail backs and severe pollution on the South Circular and Croxted Rd. There seems to be no control or sense of urgency whatever with what appears to be a meandering exercise to fiddle around with a couple of traffic islands. What is going on.?? Why are we governed by such half wits?

We have had a household softener for the past ten years. We would not be without it. No hard water scum or limescale furring up pipes and showering and washing with soft water is incomparably nicer. You do need to leave a mains supply in the kitchen for drinking and cooking as softened water does not taste nice.

Try North Dulwich Tennis Club 07713637614. Nice people in beautiful surroundings by the station.

The Rosendale pub was (is?) offering half price meals this month.

I have a chum who has an agency carer. He pays £200 per day for two days a week. He asked the carer how much he got of this outrageous charge. He said “less than £40”. Disgraceful.

When will something be done about this depressing eyesore? Can a few stupid heads not be knocked together?

Brother from the sticks staying with us. Forgot his critical heart pills. Disaster. Facing 5hr drive home or 6hrs in AE. Tried our surgery and TJ Health Centre. No good but suggested 111. Expected the worst, but they were brilliant. Calm and efficient, presumably spoke to his GP and we collected prescription from ED an hour later. 111 gets lots of stick but excellent when it works like this!

Absolute shambles For some extraordinary reason the electorate voted back the half wits who devised at huge cost the whole crazed scenario. I despair.

Just spent 30 mins in W/End at 10.30 pm trying to get a black cab home to Dulwich. Dozens passed me with lights off and empty. With diesel at £10 per gallon how can they swan around looking randomly for who knows what? Over the years I have become more and more disillusioned with the myth of the cheeky chappie cabbie with his “ just done the knowledge guv” stuff and how awful life is . Finally took the train home and had an Uber in 5 mins. Could some cabbie please elucidate??

On Dear. Lots of little republicans poised with their guillotines. How would they like President Corbyn?

I read that well over 500 employees of TFL rake in salaries of at least ?100,000 pa. Need more be said?

And the Tories were voted out in Wandsworth despite the council taxes for 40 years being a fraction of those in loony Lambeth across the street for identical services. Do poverty stricken stupid voters hate Boris so much that they will willingly commit financial hara kiri.I despair again.

I cannot believe that voters have been so stupid. In DV ward they voted overwhelmingly to rid themselves of these wretched LTNs, only to be ignored by a this hugely arrogant council. They have now voted back the same half wits who have not only pledged to keep them but to instigate more of the same. I despair.

Nowhere have I seen the effect on performance of screenwipers, heater and lights all in use together in the winter??

Who is the genius who decided to paint huge ?BUS GATE? signs in the road, notably in Burbage Road? There is no bus or even a bus route and I cannot see a gate.Is this a ploy to deceive innocent, confused motorists even more than usual, and top up Southwark?s coffers to enable them to close even more roads? I think we should be told.

Sorry Douglas85 but I can find no mention whatever of any anti LTN policy in any part of Lib Dem literature, which just appears to set out a list of the usual boring platitudes. In fact, I sent them a polite email asking them what their LTN attitudes are several days ago but no reply, natch.

Bus from Bromley around the villages to Westerham

East Street used to auction garden plants of indeterminate origins on Sunday mornings.Armfulls for a few pounds although you never really knew what you were getting until flowering. Great Fun!

Thank you exdulwicher. You are quite right.TFL have now confirmed this but no apology for wrong advice. They have apparently 150 staff earning over ?100,000 pa. Nice work if you can get it,eh?

I have now heard from TFL that if your car is within the zone and parked on the street, congestion charge is payable even if stationary the entire time.

Advice please! Charge on Sunday now 12pm to 6pm. I plan to drive into charge area at 9am, park the car in the street, leave it there without moving it until 6.30pm when we leave. Am I liable for congestion charge? TFL ignore my enquiry and their website is suitably vague.

Every post box used to display the various times of collections during the day. This was banned by the Brussels Commissars as ?unfair competition?,presumably with the likes of DPD. You couldn?t make it up. It would be sensible if the status quo ante was reinstated.

Our daft councillors would really like us all to shut up and buy donkeys.
