  1. Joseph is on time every time (or early) and has stuck firmly and fairly to his advertised rates. He's my go to guy for moving stuff about and I'm always happy to recommend him.
  2. Just saw this cat around 68 Oglander Road at 7.45. Tried to approach but it was very cautious, kept moving from porch to porch. It generally looked pretty weak and wasn't too speedy, so it's probably still nearby. Some fur was missing from its back and head and one of its eyes looks severely damaged. If anyone knows the owner or are able to take in a cat, hopefully it'll be ok.
  3. There's two pairs I want to get rid of - they're uncomfortable. We're a long way off significant quantities here.
  4. I'd like to join in Would shoes be allowed too? I have been bought pairs which I don't think I'll ever wear and I've been hoping for an event like this to get rid of them! Also, what if someone decides to buy your clothes using tokens, though you didn't pick anything? You can't go home with what you came in with, so what would happen? I have a lot of nice though unbranded clothes ( mix of ebay and korea/phillipines), would it be ok to take them anyway? New to this, but I've heard optimistic things :3 Johanna x
  5. Hi, Tell me about your favourite take-away! I'm working towards a deadline and thought I would treat myself. They need to be able to deliver and take card. Bad experience stories also much appreciated :D
  6. Thanks everyone for the helpful tips and locations. I'll be trying these out a week at a time and I'll see how it goes: +North Cross Road Grocers/Pretty Traditional +East Dulwich Supermarket - opposite of Deli +Iceland Basics - Milk, eggs, frozen veg - Always avoided Iceland after discovering their microwave food on fridge-digs, but I'll give it a go :) +Forest Hill Supermarket +Brixton village, Wholefoods & Market +Brockley and Lewisham Market +Khan's in Peckham is great- very cheap and full of staple goodies. I've been here recently and the people are very helpful. However the vegetable stall by the station entrance is shocking. I was looking through the peppers- looked normal on the outside, maybe a bit wrinkly, though one burst and leaked a sticky rotten liquid. Then when going to pay for the decent ones I did find, the shop keeper fought with one customer and made mock-Chinese noises at the poor Asian lady in front of me. I came home and realised the ones I did have which were the better ones of the pile were covered in this petrol-stinking sticky dust. Never again. D: RosieH - I saw the advert and didn't catch the show but I assumed the verdict was solid pro-markets like you said too. I'll watch it today at some point :) Twirly: I've always got a monthly bus pass on me and I don't mind the bus journeys as I can always write or listen to an audiobook. I've been shopping on Lordship lane and it usually comes to ?40-50 per week (including trips to William Rose, which hurt the wallet), though I'm sure we can do better without dropping quality too far. (I'm shopping for my boyfriend and myself - we usually buy and live off fresh vegetables.) In our last place, there used to be an independent supermarket which we would travel an hour away for just because the prices were so cheap Giacomelli: I would love to take part in the scheme but the site doesn't state the weight we'll be receiving of each bundle (as far as I could see, I might have missed it) Can you tell me what your experience with them is like? .
  7. Hi there, I'm a student renting a place in East Dulwich and I'm finding it tough to find a store which is reasonably cheap to do vegetable shopping on a tight budget. The first week I was here, I shopped in Peckham and came home with filthy dusty/greasy peppers and half rotten onions (not to mention certain rude shopkeepers...) So I've been shopping at supermarkets and occasionally the stores on Lordship lane which are a treat, but far too pricey for veggies. I would appreciate any suggestions, even if it means a bit of a bus ride :) Thanks, Johanna
