Saw five swifts squealing and feeding at 20:48 this evening around the Barry Road/Underhill Road junction.

Even the water was looking fowl this morning

Under Section 3 of Criminal Law Act 1967 ANY PERSON may use such force as necessary in the prevention of crime or assisting in the arrest of offenders or suspected offenders. Key message is the force used must be proportionate. Sadly many of these offenders carry knives (such as the two who stabbed people in Bishopsgate when bystanders intervened. The offenders were subsequently tracked down but it might have been a murder enquiry but for a few millimetres.) Therefore robust action should only be taken if you are confident. As per the previous post, your actions will be scrutinised but could be completely lawful.

It is all down to the wind direction. We've had two years of respite but today's westerly means we are receiving all the leftovers! (On the east side of the Rye, a couple of streets away.)

Hi Good news, Dulwich Leisure Centre is back open and ready to unveil the inspiring new gym! Enjoy a fresh new design, inspiring new kit, more functional fitness space and dedicated workout zones. Today's opening hours are 7am to 5pm, we'd love to show you around! Unfortunately the swimming pool remains closed due to an issue with the pump. A part has been ordered so we are waiting for an installation date. As soon as we have more information we will let you know. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. In the meantime you can come and get moving with us in our classes or find your motivation in our amazing new gym. We hope you had a great Christmas and we look forward to seeing you soon.

I thought my app informed me it reopened on Dec 23rd but I can't find any such notification now. I DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL TELLING ME THE SAME ON MONDAY 23rd. App says next open 7am to 7pm Friday 27th (subject to chlorine leak being remedied beforehand.)

It was a medical emergency. Not sure why LFB would be there, unless there was a separate incident.

Seems I’ve been “done” by a “ghost” notification that flashed up on my screen using the App logo. Can’t find any trace of it now but it has cost me a penalty charge and a swim I was looking forward to.

Does anyone know if the pool is open? I had a swim booked yesterday[Friday 2nd] but saw a notification on my phone the pool was closed for technical reasons. Then received an email saying I have been charged for non attendance. Have another swim booked for today but after waiting on the phone for five minutes (twice), I am unable to confirm whether the pool is open or closed.

Three were still in one piece on March 1st.

I nearly got run over on a narrow path (that runs towards Strakers Road) on Peckham Rye on Wednesday evening. I'd estimate there were in the region of 60-80. I think the lack of lighting and my dark attire may have contributed. Being a runner I was more in admiration than consternation but I can appreciate how it may seem a little intimidating. They do talk in raised voices (naturally) as they chat on their excursion but sadly the only words that the passerby catches is the expletive that seems to be a universal adjective these days .

The Southern website says they've had the topping off ceremony on August 22nd for the 6th floor. Completion due 2025. https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2023/milestone-at-our-southwark-development Although the HG website has a picture of a building with 11 levels. https://www.hgconstruction.co.uk/new-scheme-at-glengall-road/

You will have to pay up I'm afraid. I ran foul of the Old Kent Road one when doing a particularly large shop but was able to provide receipts to the charging company from Lidl and they waived it. I fear if you haven't been using Lidl you will struggle to find any mitigating circumstances.

With Southwark resident account it's 90p I think

Gym now open for 'business'.
