A better bet, if possible, is to take the train from Peckham Rye to St Pancras and do the short walk across to Kings Cross.

Definitely thumbs-up to a south Indian place that can give me my fix of masala dosa. :) Think a few here will be pleasantly surprised by the difference from the standard 'award free restaurant' fayre on LL if it's anything like what the wonderful Ganapati has to offer...

turn it off and turn it back on again. honestly, this may be your only hope.

All going straight through, since the terminating platforms at Blackfriars are being dug up currently. Instead, they're terminating, generally, at City Thameslink, Kentish Town, or even Luton in some cases.

Pleased to be able to say that the Deposit Protection Scheme helped us out in the end.. Once you've given written notice, you can mop-up the whole amount (?2k in our case) after two weeks if you don't get any response from the agent (which we didn't).. Cheers for all of your advice - kept me sane during moments of abject desperation..

To add to the voices of a considerable number of others.... The ticket buying options at Peckham Rye really aren't good enough for a station of its size, and a little part of me dies every time I get stuck in a 10+ person queue at the ticket office and hurtle up the stairs only to hear my train pull away. Oyster PAYG will be good (nay, great), but it's not the full answer. Barry -- you've done us proud thus far. Our station is considerably better as a result. But what I wouldn't give for at least one more ticket machine..

All... massive thanks, this is all extremely useful. Cannons loaded and ready for a sustained barrage today!

I assume the Old Nun's Head is heading the same way? Big 'You could run this pub - to let' sign outside, though seems to be business as usual in the meantime.... Very sad to see..

Cheers, RJB -- that's extremely useful. I'll take a look over and give them a friendly call. :) Estate agents, eh? Are there any out there who aren't utterly hateful?

Dear forum, Hoping you can help... Am at the end of my tether with a Popular Lordship Lane Estate Agent (oh, go on then... Winkworth), who are refusing to give me any information about the return of my deposit, four weeks after the end of my tenancy with them. They're blaming the landlady (who they manage the property on behalf of) for not getting back to them.. The deposit is with the Deposit Protection Scheme, so at least they're not cashing it, but it seems my options are limited in doing anything about it until they collaborate. Anyone been through this and able to advise what I can do? A simple case of chuck the lawyers at them? Even just a word of sympathy from anyone who's had to deal with their shambolic Management Department greatly appreciated at this stage...

I'm sure others will also have had the Dulwich Tandoori takeaway menu through the door over the last few days. Aside from its rather bland layout, the main thing that caught my eye was some of the almost hyperbolic quotes on the front page, from some rather lofty journalistic institutions. I quote (spelling mistakes, grammatical howlers, and all): "Dulwich Tandoori is easily the best of the five Indian Restaurants in which it is located. Nothing that should be specially recommended, whatever they do, they do well. For the best Indian food that money can buy, yoou can't beat the Dulwich Tandoori" - Time Out "Most Indian restaurants are perfectly adequate, very similar in food and standards, the trick is to find one that stands out, this is one of those" - Punch I call upon the investigative and intellectual muscle of the EDF to mull-over the following questions (personal opinion regarding my feelings of the actual quality of their food aside): - Did Punch really do restaurant reviews during its existence? Of distinctly non-Michelin-starred Indian takeaways? - Have editorial standards at Time Out really sunk so low as to have decided against conventional use of the grammatical institution of sentence structure? And with such lofty recommendation as "the best that money can buy", why no obvious sign of awards, knighthoods or notoriety beyond our boundaries? - Why can't these quotes be found anywhere online, other than the Dulwich Tandoori's own marketing material? I dearly long to be proven wrong in hypothesising that the whiff of rat is in our midst, and will happily take back any such insinuation should evidence to the contrary present itself.......

(stole this from someone else, but it's still my favourite..) It's apparently going to be the new East Dulwich branch of Peckham's Big Girl Clothing Company..

pink or brown?
