if you want real beach and sand Margate is one of the best and the town is much improved. The Dreamland amusement park is sadly closed but is being renovated and will open as a heritage /vintage ride venue. Nearby Broadstairs is also very nice and the Harbour beach is lovely.

Indian Shop ? Where?

Think the reaction is a bit over the top - I would not personally ride a bike at night without lights ( too scared to ride a bike at all , though I did so in the distant past )However this was not a dark night in middle of the country, roads are reasonably well lit and you did see them as you sped past! In the UK motorist do not respect other road user and drive far too fast in town. Try to maintain 30mph or more with bikes around is madness.

I used to live in ED from 1969 - moved away in 1971 and recently moved back - so take my word for it ED has changed but of course so has everywhere else ! Just get over it

Happy to help but not sure if my attention span lasts for 45 mins! PM me

University of the Third Age (U3A) movement is an unique and exciting organisation which provides, through its U3As, life-enhancing and life-changing opportunities. Retired and semi-retired people come together and learn together, not for qualifications but for its own reward: the sheer joy of discovery! Members share their skills and life experiences: the learners teach and the teachers learn, and there is no distinction between them. The U3A movement is supported by its national organisation, the Third Age Trust.

Presentation by Mr Gerry Kelsey, Head Gardener "The American Garden and the history of Dulwich Park" Francis Peek Building, Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ - in the car park, College Road entrance Tea ,coffee and refreshments provided none members welcome- find out about our large range of study activities soon starting in Dulwich

Always had super meat from Craig the butcher opposite the sub post office near the ploug and you don't have to Q for hours unlike elsewhere in East Dulwich!

Work it out for yourself - and don't waste your time putting up rubbish posts

After a meeting in Dulwich library which attracted over 150 interested people it was decided to start a local Dulwich & District U3A. The start up meeting is being held at Christ Church on Friday 9th May. The church is in Barry rd opposite the plough pub and Dulwich main Library. There will be an opportunity to learn about the Dulwich outdoor art gallery and sign up for a wide range ( over twenty )interest groups ranging from - Archaeology to Ukulele.

The butcher at the plough is very good.Excellent beef n bacon n rabbit. Believe a lot of his stuff comes from his dad's farm near Halstead

If you cannot afford a house in this area you have to look elsewhere , it's that simple ! I would like to live in Knightsbridge ( as I once did years ago ) but now can't afford to so I have to slum it in Dulwich.

Had a very rude young man call today , selling dishcloths etc I think. He had a laminated card round his neck that said official hawker as far as I could make out ( is there such a thing ?) he was extremely rude when I told him very politely that I did not buy at the door. Swearing as he went along my path he turned back to show me the large wad of cash he had ! Who buys from these guys ?

They have a letter form St Chrisophers on dislpay. They donated over five thousand pounds to the charity last year and clearly state ?5 donated for each tree sold. If they open for thirty day that means about thirty five trees sold a day. Presume the charity has no way of checking this, but they do seem very busy and keep late hours. I think it's better to support local traders that are with as all round. We got a super tree from the florist on the corner opposite library and will make a gift aid do traction to St Christopers, which means the tax man has to chip in!

How did you appeal?- first stage is by phone or online with only a chance of a brief explanation- they never listen at this stage. stage two is to fill out appeal form they send you and append letter giving full details etc Stage three is in front of a independent assessor who WILL listen to reason Please DO appeal - this fine is just daft- I am happy to advise on appeal as I have been successful several times ( not of course when its a fair cope, if you are even two minute late returning to a meter its your fault so of course i would shut up and pay )

The appeal procedure is in three parts 1 by phone or online - at this point they don't listen - response is almost always the computer/ photo evidence shows you have committed an offence 2 by letter setting our your case in detail - include your own photos , quote name and addresses of any witnesses you have , etc 3 appear befor an independent adjudicator - often council don't turn up because they know case is weak Good luck Ps wich you could charge them for the amount of time/ money it takes to deal with this because they DON'T listen at stage one

this one one example just shows that we should have electable bodies ultimately responsible for schools!

I think these online courses almost expect you to cheat if you want to. its on your conscience! If you get someone to invigilate you how could they check out that they were not a relative/friend or that you had not bribed them etc I am a part time teacher so willing to help if its really necessary

Parking fees are often introduced in this sneaky way.They will have to pay someone to regularly check that cars have not overstayed the 4 hour limit, the few penalty charges that get paid will not be enough so then they will say they have to introduce a charge to pay for the enforcement.- just wait n see!

If lots offers above asking price have been made that shows that people are prepared to pay that daft price !If I was selling I'd ask for even more. It's just supply and demand.The market is also being distorted by the'buy to let brigade'they are buying propery because pension rates are so poor and returns on saving are almost none existent after tax.
