Well use your vote tomorrow. Labour in London make posh streets posher & dump congestion and pollution on the poorer streets. I?m done with them. sally buying Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > To enforce you statement try traveling from > streets behind East Dulwich.

Ok, can we send all the cars to sit outside your house then? Sounds like you?d be ok with it RahRahRah

This all day long. I?ve never owned a car and I have queuing traffic outside my door for much of the day. It?s driven my wife round the bend & caused a lot of anxiety and unhappiness. It puts me off voting Labour. I don?t even know where to put my cross this Thursday but if my vote can help us go back to having less of the traffic from the posh roads outside our door then I?ll do it. It?s made lockdown even more miserable. ? Let me take your smoking analogy - what the council is doing is saying don't smoke outside your house, go down the road and smoke outside someone else's instead......winking smiley And the areas within the LTN are some of the biggest smokers in the area!?

No, the pipe is part of the private property, not the Thames Water system. It?s a matter for the landlord and the council.

Please be careful when walking down Oxonian Street and ideally avoid the road. There?s an open sewer spewing human poo & everything else across the pavement and road. I reported it to Southwark Council yesterday morning and was assured it would be dealt with quickly but there?s been no clean up, no signs or barriers put up & people are walking through it, tramping it around East Dulwich. This is coming from a private tenanted property on East Dulwich Grove and, despite being warned yesterday, it looks like the residents are continuing to use the toilet facilities so it is an ongoing and frankly revolting incident. Please avoid this street and add your voice to the complaints to Southwark Council to sort this quickly.

A few comments: 1. Foxes are very nimble - they can hop onto fences and walk along them with ease - I don?t know about cubs, but trying to stop them getting under fences is a bit pointless because they can get over fences & walls easily 2. We have had a ?nuisance? fox over the years who?d visit our garden to eat takeaways it had found, dig holes in the lawn, dig up plants, poo & generally prance about. It?s annoying but no big deal. We videoed its antics (it usually only visited for 5-10 mins at a time around 2am-4am) to figure out what was doing it. 3. The local foxes raid our bins out the front of the house & poo while they do that - I hate this & plan to get some extra bins once things are back to normal so they can?t get into them! It seems to be much worse recently which is probably down to there being less food about from takeaways, cafes and restaurants. 4. The worst bit was the pooing in the back garden as we have young kids & the garden is so small you can?t miss the poo, so we bought a motion-active water spray (basically an add on for your garden hose) that we put out every once in a while in the garden. The fox never set it off - too clever! It would spot it, often taking a look into the garden from the top of the fence & deciding to head off elsewhere. 5. Before we had kids, we lived in a block of flats with large shared gardens & there were loads of foxes in them. We didn?t really use the garden & never had any issues - they were brazen and would sunbathe in the garden during the day. I didn?t mind that at all and got a few nice photos of them. 6. I don?t support people feeding the foxes, just like I don?t support people feeding the pigeons. That may seem like a kind thing to do but it will just attract them and, despite what many have said on here, they are wild (possibly flea & disease carrying) animals & shouldn?t be treated like substitute pets in my view. 7. Don?t poison or kill the poor things. That?s just rotten behaviour & it?ll come back to bite you (unlike the foxes!!)

I hear there?s a drive for another 8pm clap to show our appreciation for essential workers and the NHS tonight. We?ll be at our door making a racket and hope to see and hear lots of you (from a safe distance!) too! P.s. a big shoutout to the kids of East Dulwich and Peckham Rye for the awesome window rainbow pictures - it?s brightening the place up!

So sad about this. After my daughter was born earlier this year I popped past the Brick House to buy my wife and the midwives some breakfast and the team gave me 2 fully stamped cards for free coffees, one saying ?For Mum? and the other ?For Dad?. It?s easy to be a naysayer and complain about this and that but the staff were always brilliant with my family (the dog too) and the coffee and cakes (and oh those mince pies!) were out of this world. I also enjoyed Shazaming tunes while I waited for my coffee. Best of luck to the staff and owners for their next adventures. Guess I?d better dust off the old Nespresso machine...

I totally agree with Bic Basher. Lack of Lib Dems is a real problem for me. Do you choose the Nasty Tory Party or the Nasty Labour Party? The fact that Helen Hayes isn?t in that nasty Momentum faction is helpful but it?s still ultimately a vote for a party led by it. Hardly worth a hustings if it?s between those 2 parties. With 69% for Hayes at the last election it?s clear what the result will be anyway but it?s depressing. Might have to stand myself as the Spoil Your Vote candidate :-)

There?s nothing wrong with the promotion. It?s fun. My little boy really enjoys collecting them. We shop at M&S a lot and it?s a nice wee promotion (even if it attracts criticism from killjoys!)

Delighted to hear about this! Can?t wait for the season to kick off!

Funnily enough someone did one on the back doorstep of my office in Victoria and she was caught on camera. A runner it seems who just had to go and, well, did. Utterly gross!

In any event, I can?t wait for Saucy to open! Lordship Lane could use a snazzy new restaurant and I like the look of the place. Good luck Jules and Nick!

Whippersnappers are excellent and have space in Dulwich Park and Brockwell Lido. My 3 year old had a party at Brockwell Lido last year and loved it.
