I am overcome with admiration at the workings of the forum, how succesful it is and how much hard work it must take. My grateful thanks. it adds enormously to the enjoyment of living in East Dulwich for me.

TP asks what is the point of this post. It seems to me very important to remind forum users of the ED residents who do not have access to the internet, to cars or often even to bank accounts. This may mean old people or people on benefits or low wage. Post offices are incredibly important to them (and pretty useful for us if we want to post a parcel or registered letter!). Perhaps we should be using the undoubted power of the forum to try to help ensure that the post office does not disappear rather than just for lobbying for which flavour of ice cream scoop provides! PS the Tiramisu flavour was great.

Yes-it a really good idea and a great way of furthering local democracy. Well done James and well done EDF for being such a good channel for opinion.

sorry about your parking ticket but where and what is the soup dragon? I've never seen it.

Seeded themselves in my garden.....so nature's gift to me.

In December I was despairing because my rescue cat had stayed under the sofa for 2 months. I posted for advice and was told that it was a matter of time and patience and you have been proved right. She is a delight

has anyone in the area got a leaflet through their letter box about what to do about swine flu. I am intrigued that after all the fanfare of them being rushed out, neither I, nor most of my friends, have had one.

Borscht....wonderful borscht

I had a big clear out of garden sheds and rubbish. I called the council-really prompt and friendly reply and stuff was picked up the next day. I thought I got really good service. Maybe you rung the day after a collection?

Sue....you'd better come out then and support him. Yes, he has done me the honour of appointing me ED rep for Kalikalos!!

It is June 5th for a week. The course + board and lodging cost ?300. You get yourself there....at the moment BA and Easyjet are both quoting about ?100 return to Thessaloniki which is the nearest airport. You can also go via Athens but the onward bus journey is a bit longer

Hi Is anyone interested in coming to Greece for a week to be part of a holistic, sustainable community and learn about Greek vegetarian cooking? Life isn't too hard in the community-afternoons are spent on the beach which is about 20 minutes away. If you are interested I can try to answer any questions or you can go to www.kalikalos.com

Not actually a tautology. They may be boasting that they don't let it go cold.

I think they are just repairing today,after a leak; they are definitely open for business. And very nice they are too. I had to tell them they were in danger of giving estate agents a good name.

no, they are up and running. Maybe they were out selling houses?

Hi I have to get to Gatwick very early and found a web site parkatmyhouse where you can leave your car cheaply. The price for 17 nights works out less than an early morning taxi and then public transport back.

I agree. It is the great problem with sites like trip advisor.

Or the 1940's??? What short memories some people have and how they like to be cynical.

I hope Louisa is being funny or stupid. If she is trying to be funny it isn't. If she is stupid or ignorant I can recommend some good books for her to read.

Funny, the woman I spoke to in Sainsbury's had got a fine, and her picture taken, using it.

There is a camera-on the traffic light. And people have been caught on it!
