just beat me to it Applespider!

You can also get one of those knob thingies (don't know what they are called now!) that will open your dead-lock internally without a key - especially for the fire escape case you describe. The deadlock is then locked with a key from the outside only (the knob thingy will also lock internally without the key). So there is absolutely no excuse to not use a deadlock on your front door! (and your internal flat door for that matter)

DEADLOCKS GUYS DEADLOCKS!!! Yales don't even need bashing they can easily be slipped with nothing more than a cut open plastic coke bottle (I know because I used this method years ago when I locke myself out of my flat)

She's been doing it for years! - tried it on me (near Goose Green) about 3/4 years ago....told her to do one!

So you didn't get the number plate then?!

So was it the Cheese Block Man or Someone else?......HMMM There's only on way to find out!!!!.....

I'm with Orange and live at the Goose Green end of LL. my reception is not that great...and one thing I have noticed is that whenever a plane flies over it seems to cut my signal!...anyone else noticed this? I was thinking of getting an Iphone through O2...anyone any experience with these (signal wise) in SE22?

....sound like they are doing a rec'y on your place before they come and burgal it! They are probably coming at odd hours to see if anyone is in during those times.

Its not the taste I'm worried about - I normally filter Tap water anyway. Its the smell - I can smell it when washing my face or even using the shower.

I live up the Goose Green end

Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but over the last week or so my tap water has quite a distinct chemical smell about it - Its almost a bleach/chlorine odour. I also noticed the same odour in the water coming from the showers at my local gym. (down the other end of Lordship Lane) Am I imagining things?! - I've been a resident in ED for about 9 years and its the first time I've detected it.

If you took a pic of the scratch and paintwork, then did you not think to take a pic of the number plate? - may have helped in id'ing the alleged offender.

put chilli powder on the spot where the offending poop is!

Nothing wrong with "suspecting"! - I am not accusing! But if enough people are experincing the same with their rental DVD deliveries then we can establish a pattern and try to get the sorting office to investigate. Everything was working like clockwork on these dvd deliveries (for over 6months)up until 2 months ago!

This is becoming a joke! I've had about 5 dvds from Odeondirect (aka Lovefilm) not delivered in 2 months now! I suspect that someone in the sorting office is nicking them! - its obvious what they are as they have odeon direct dvd splashed all over the packaging Is anyone else experienceing the same with specifically Lovefilm/odeondirect dvds?

I live on Worlingham rd, and have had 2 films from Lovefilm not delivered over a 3 week period (I have reported to lovefilm also) - normally they are spot on. I've also noticed that my general post volume seem's to have dropped over the same period. Anyone got any contact numbers to use for Royal mail?

I've been told Copper nails are good too!

great - was wondering who to contact to get an overgrown tree chopped down in front of my house!

just contact ba/virgin cust services and they will tell you what info to provide to them so that they can give you your flight details. usually copy of passport, proof of address etc.

I had Problems on the NTL broadband last night and Monday eve about 10/11pm ish - Diagnosed as DNS issue.

TIP: leave little bowls of dried food in the places where it dumps\lashes. (obviously after you have cleaned up!) my mum's bengal started exhibiting this behaviour and the local vet recommended this (drug free too) - soon stopped.

Will the "Irish shop" be next?

The Kebab shop on Lordship lane will still be open at 3.30am!

I've seen th signs up for the annual open day at Nunhead Cemetry. Is it worth going to? What is there to see apar from graves?

....and soon us Motorbikers will be allowed in all bus lanes. They've been trialing it for some time now in Streatham.
