Doesn't the Council usually clear fallen leaves from the pavements?? They seem to be inches deep in slippery rotting debris~very dangerous. Don't say Wicked Tory Cuts as they are too timid and minimal to affect this!!

No greater fun in all the world than wasting other peoples' money. just recall the junction of Burbage and Gallery Roads~ sensible islands removed several years ago to produce a hideously dangerous crossing. Virtually identical islands just reinstated again after lengthy outcry. Total costs must have been monstrous. Nobody sacked as they should have been. The whole road "improvements" programme is absurd as it appears that annual"budgets" are set (by whom??) and then have to be spent come what may on whatever daft scheme some jobsworth dreams up.

The P13 eastbound from West Dulwich station runs each 15 mins but is carefully timed to leave at the exact moment that the South Eastern trains arrive at the same times from Victoria. Very frustrating. I have written to explain and hope for some action as TFL are apparently undertaking a survey!! Didn't that Brain of Britain and Great Lothario, John Prescott, promise " joined up Transport"!!

Male, getting on a bit, slim, tennis and cycling every day, non smoker. sensible diet has been struck down in the past 10 days by the heaviest foulest ever cold, catarrh ridden, with a hacking cough and no end in sight except the grave. Is it a virus going around or am I just unlucky??

-Fizzy euromuck. Wouldn't wash my boots in it.

Long Johns and scarf?

The England cricket team are training with a new digital technique and are looking for a fast Ebola (geddit?/)

Madness ~like driving over rockeries. Sue Southwark for damage to vehicles. Speed cameras much more effective to slow the loonies and much cheaper.

It seems to me that there are an awful lot of people with nothing better to do but bang on about matters which are not their business. Get a life.

Had you thought of joining a club? North Dulwich LTC , just by the station,is very friendly,has coaching and fine courts usually available with a sensibly priced subscription

Take more water with it.

No point in approaching the Blessed Tessa. She is too busy talking to the Almighty to deal with us mere mortals.

What is this awful racket from Dulwich Park tonight?? It is shaking my windows and the whole house is trembling. If it is the Open air cinema or some crazed party they should be ashamed of themselves. I shall do my best to ensure that this is their last performance here!

Does anyone know what the powerful searchlight is for, shining up into the clouds tonight at 11 pm? It seems to be towards Dulwich village and is not moving. Can it be to guide extra terrestrials? I think we should be told.

Would any kind soul know the very approximate cost of a ground floor rear extension some 6m. wide and 5m. deep, so 30 sq. meters of simple block construction rendered, flat roof, half width window to normal height, simple electric connections and no drainage problems?? Admittedly very early days without proper plans etc. as yet, we have two rough quotes of what I think are ridiculous figures. Thank you.

I see lots of ladies wobbling around Dulwich in traffic on their bikes with small children perched on the back, sometimes in flimsy little carts and even once on the handlebars!! Madness. Where are the hordes of Health and Safety fanatics when they are needed??

One has to realise that, when dealing with any government dept. or local authority, that the Greatest Fun in all the World is spending somebody else's money. They have a massive budget to spend each year and spend it they will, irrespective of need. Hopeless system, completely the wrong way round.

Nunhead~the Land that Time forgot.

Barmy.

We have dealt with them over many years. They are generally perfectly reasonable but consult them if you are in any doubt. You cannot make any material change to the exterior although they are sensible about this and do not seem to worry too much about the rear elevations. Most of Dulwich is also in a Conservation Area. Depending upon the age of the house they can can be very hot on window replacement. Hope that this helps.

Does anybody know what is going on at Queen Mary's Gate? There are massive earth movers, diggers and miles of steel fencing. The workmen didn't seem to know?

Message to James Barber. Why is it that there seem to be limitless funds for daft road "improvements" such as endless moving of islands, humps etc.(and often back again the next year) when the roads are in an appalling state. There are dangerous deep potholes everywhere which are ignored by the jobsworths.

At 9pm last Tuesday that sinister photo car with the camera on a pole was parked outside Gails trying to catch someone stopping on a Zigzag line or similarly useless exercise. Who authorises these expensive Big Brother operations anyway? It seems to me that the Greatest Fun in all the world, bar none, is spending other peoples' money. While I am at it, why are the roads full of dangerous unrepaired potholes which are ignored when there seem to be limitless funds for moving kerbs, new road islands and other grandiose and other hideously expensive schemes ?? Most of them seem to be removed the next year when the cretinous instigators realise how useless they are. For instance how much are we all paying for all the massive fiddling around at the Paxton roundabout where everything worked perfectly as it was? Perhaps our elected representatives could elucidate?

Oh Gawd~sounds like another champagne socialist luvvie.

What people will do to get loyalty points.
