Tuesday?s email to Southwark Council has already born fruit! The Grounds Supervisor, Michael Ross, has just left after a site visit to assess the problem and to explain it to our nice neighbour (who had absolutely no idea that the attractive plant in his garden was a pernicious weed) and work will begin some time next week. Apparently it will need at least three applications, and there?s no guarantee that it won?t try to return, but we should be able to deal with it ourselves following instructions they will leave with us. So HURRAH for the council !!!

As was Himalayan Balsam.

If it were confined to my garden I?d be out there anointing it with poison every day! Unfortunately, 99 percent of it is next door. Apparently the council will deal with it (for ?99+), so I?ve emailed the environmental department. The automated acknowledgement promises to get back in touch with me in due course .......

Has anybody had this pernicious weed dealt with successfully? Any advice would be most welcome !!!!!

Does anyone know where it is?

While you?re at it, it would be worth while having them powder-coated - tough as old boots, and lasts forever

Really Mar?a is nearer!

I took my Bernina to Really Mar?a.

What about a wig? You could take her for a walk down Rye Lane, where she?ll be spoilt for choice.

SMBS? Farmers? Organic Village? Dulwich D.I.Y? Johnnies? Etc etc etc ....

I was prepared to overlook/forgive the data-harvesting issue until I read ?I'm not using data from this survey until after the election? How to lose a vote in four small words ....

Done

Morag at the Dulwich Therapy Rooms.

Oddones is rather a long way from the Goose Green playground. There?s a wonderful ice cream place in the parade of shops almost next door to the playground.

?They could park for instance in the North Dulwich CPZ before 12 noon or after 2pm for free.? - and between 12 noon and 2pm ......?

Has nobody pointed out to Ms Highland that should she or a future owner of her house want to create a side return, she has been provided with a ready-made party wall free of charge?

NO. We used to live in a Permit Parking area and it was a nightmare - many more permits issued than spaces available. When we moved to SE22 it was a great improvement, so I would like to second all the arguments in the threads so far. I completed the survey because I wanted to swell the No numbers, but when at the end it began to get intrusively personal I gave a fictional d.o.b. and ticked all the party boxes.

Is it true that refrigerated vehicles have to keep their engines running in order to maintain the cooling system?

It all gets curioser and curioser ..... When we moved into North Cross Road five years ago we had Virgin installed because we had been very pleased with it for about ten years in our previous house in East Anglia, and have had no serious problem with it. The occasional small glitch has always been dealt with very promptly.

Dulwich DIY will mix any of their range of paints to any of the colours in the F$B shade-card.

My six year old grandson attends The Hunt Academy for Young Actors at Telegraph Hill Centre (HAYA) in Brockley. They have well-established classes for juniors and seniors, with a similar approach to what you could expect at top drama schools; our grandson goes to the new 'Minis' on Fridays and absolutely loves it! http://www.thehuntacademy.co.uk/about/brockley

You can take your machine to Really Maria (next to Sweaty Betty on Lordship Lane) and they will have it serviced/mended for you.

6pm may not be dark now, but that won't last long.

I'd be very grateful if someone could recommend a good French polisher who would be able to bring our water-damaged side table back to life.

The van seems to have taken root on North Cross Road - it's now been there for over two months.
