We received these sweets and ate them. A lovely gesture, thanks Lucy

Can anyone recommend somewhere local that replaces cracked ipad screens. It was the cats fault!

Sainsburys have t-shirts

On the test run day it was if fact easier to get to the Jubilee Line/Tooley Street if coming in on a Southern Service (Peckham Rye/East Dulwich platforms 15/16). The escalators were in use and barriers funneled people to either the Jubilee Line or Tooley Street. There was no entrance allowed at Tooley Street or exit from the South Eastern lines so didn't have to compete with the South Eastern hoards crossing to the Jubilee Line. Going home was more of a problem as had to walk round to the new main entrance instead of using the Tooley Street entrance. South Eastern commuters look like they'll have a lot more problems!

Andrew Brock on Shawbury Road. Many recommendations on this forum. 020 8299 0299

Highly recommend Sofas and Stuff Went to their Parsons Green showroom and they were very helpful. A huge range of sofas on display. Got 10% off my order and delivery in a month. Delivery men were great, took all the packaging away and made sure the sofa and chair were exactly where I wanted them

Another recommendation for Dave the cookerman. Found his name on the forum earlier this week after my mother's oven died and he has just finished replacing the broken part today. She is delighted. He even got parts working on the cooker that hadn't worked for years!

E J Carpets at Perry Vale Forest Hill. Cannot fault them. From the measuring up to the selecting and taking home of multiple samples to the fitting they were brilliant. I was also pleasantly surprised at the price!

There's no longer a duty planner service at the Walworth Road One Stop Shop. You can still phone and speak to a duty planner 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday on 020 7525 5438

There was also a full page ad in the most recent Southwark Life - should have been delivered just before Christmas.

If you do still need a drain company Drainclear are the best 020 8650 2003. Reasonably priced

Can always park during the day within a few car lengths of my house. The only time I've had to park further away is late at night when most residents are home. I was out & about in my car on Friday and several times arrived back at home to find multiple spaces (10+) within sight of my house. So obviously I don't want to have to find ?125 + visitors permits to park where I, at present, can easily park for free!

It should be up on the portal by now if submitted a month ago. Phone planning admin on 020 7525 5403 or the duty planner on 0207 525 5438 or email [email protected]. The duty planner is available 10am to 4pm, think the admin times are about the same. Both numbers were working yesterday!

They've removed the large centre island at the pedestrian crossing and are building the road out slightly on each side so when it's finished there will basically be pretty much the same road width, ie one lane each side and a single crossing instead of the dog-leg double crossing. Can't really see what all the fuss is about.

I'm with Virgin for broadband & TV, their basic 10MB package via fibre optic cable. Have been with them since they took over from NTL and have had very few problems. When speed tested never had under 9MB and normally 9.6MB. Think this is because I'm SE15. Problems with Virgin seem to be mainly within SE22.
