They are not from 'rehabilitation schemes'. There are no such schemes that sell door-to-door. I have checked this myself with the probation services and been told by them that it's a scam. Trading Standards say: “Don’t deal with cold callers. Full stop. At the most innocent, they’re selling overpriced goods. At the more sinister end, they're assessing the potential for more serious crimes". It wouldn't hurt to report to the non-emergency number, 101. As Sandyman says, the police may use the information to direct future resources.

Try Sarah, 07956563129, there's a thread somewhere called 'Driving Instructor Recommendation - Sarah'. We found Sarah through this forum and our daughter learnt with her in a few weeks of fairly intensive bursts and is now a good, confident driver.

There are many threads about this, most of which agree it's a scam. It's definitely not an official ex-offenders rehab. scheme: I got this reply from the Home Office: Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) were established in order to deliver rehabilitation services in England and Wales to low and medium risk offenders. The CRCs are not involved in such door-to-door selling schemes and we do not condone such activity. We firmly believe that offenders should be integrated back into the community in a more positive manner than this. These schemes are run by private companies, not the CRCs.

Dazzi, it's definitely not an ex-offenders rehab. scheme: I contacted the Home Office a while back to ask that and got this reply: 21 Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) were established in order to deliver rehabilitation services in England and Wales to low and medium risk offenders. The CRCs are not involved in such door-to-door selling schemes and we do not condone such activity. We firmly believe that offenders should be integrated back into the community in a more positive manner than this.

Another recommendation for Niko. We have been using him for a couple of years and he is always reliable and helpful. This week we had a leak from a pipe valve. Niko sourced a replacement valve and fitted it quickly. Very pleased. Thanks Niko. His mobile is 07818607583.

Form isn't working?

Peckham Town Football Club. They play on Dulwich Common and do loads of good work: http://peckhamtownfootballclub.com/

Great minds think alike. The Dulwich Society has been making a list of defibrillators in Dulwich:

Nigello, the Dulwich Society had been monitoring the tree with Southwark to be sure it was beyond saving. They are now working with the Council and Margaret Evison, Mark's mother, to get a replacement tree as soon as possible. I got this information from the Society's monthly Newsletter as I was worried about the tree too (I would periodically weed beneath it to keep it tidy). If anyone has any advice on things like preventing salt damage perhaps send an email to [email protected].

Bell House runs film courses for young people, they my be able to put you in touch with one.

Yes, what First Mate says. David Crystal and his son Ben have done a lot of research into how Shakespeare's plays would have been spoken (Original Pronunciation as it's known). Here is Ben with a Hamlet soliloquy: edited for clarity

Can't recommend Niko highly enough. We had a leak from our bath, the source of which which was proving difficult to pin down. Niko is very knowledgeable and was able to suggest two possible solutions. He has done an efficient and very tidy job and we are very happy - no more leak! Plus he is reliable and comes when he says he will. His mobile is 07818607583.

Adam there are many threads about this, most of which seem to agree it's a scam. It's definitely not an ex-offenders rehab. scheme: I contacted the Home Office a while back to ask that and got this reply: As a result of the Government's recent probation reforms, 21 Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) were established in order to deliver rehabilitation services in England and Wales to low and medium risk offenders. The CRCs are not involved in such door-to-door selling schemes and we do not condone such activity. We firmly believe that offenders should be integrated back into the community in a more positive manner than this. These schemes are run by private companies, not the CRCs.

Deleted as I posted in the wrong place

There are still a few on the Dog Kennel Hill estate: on Quorn Road near the Payless Food & Wine. The Dulwich Society has offered Southwark Council an information board to complement them.
