We are very low here near Oakhurst Grove. We have a hot water tank in the loft so why is our hot water running so low??

Sorry you got hurt LM. I have had a similar experience on that stretch! It is a poor design, and would be improved greatly just by painting it bright blue. It's refreshing that this thread has not (yet) turned into an argument between cyclists and pedestrians. @Peckhamryu - I thought it was mandatory that bicycles were sold with bells now?

Yesterday they sent me a text to say they have fixed the local problem We have internet but it still seems well below par

I have bought a property through PurpleBricks earlier this year and certainly from our side of the transaction, the service was very good. Apart from not having a local branch, they did act much like a normal agent. They were present when we viewed the property and the individual we met knew the house well and was able to answer questions about the property, etc. Once the offer was in, the person who saw it through was very efficient. More so than other agents we have used and more helpful than our conveyancer.

I was there on Saturday. It looked fine to me. I cycled past so didn't inspect close-up. But all big grass spaces have taken a bit of a battering with the hot dry weather we had...

There's an excellent App called SkyView. It overlays a map of the night sky over the view from your camera. So if you align your camera over a heavenly object such as the moon, a planet or a star, the overlay will tell you what you are looking at. I think that Mars rises in the south east and sets in the south west, so a south facing vantage point should provide a view; eg East Dulwich Road facing back across Peckham Rye. It appears around sunset, looks pretty much like a star but should not twinkle in the same way. Of course London has quite strong light pollution making it harder to see anything. Also, tonight is forecast to be cloudy...

Been away for a week and missed all this - peak EDF!! Well done to Tash B and ApplePears for taking the heat off UncleGlen. You make him seem almost normal by comparison.

The same Nick Weston who used to own a restaurant where GBK is now on Lordship Lane?? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,10466

Good question. I too have a 9 yr old who would want this game. It's fairly violent I think, but rated at age 12 - so you would assume, less so than Tour of Duty, GTA etc - probably more along the lines PG12 rated films such as some of the Star Wars films which I have let my boy watch. The issue for me is more that it's multi-player with randoms on-line. I think it's anonymised but for me that's still a step too far into the badlands of the web for a 9year old.

Sounds like you did all the right things. The reason I asked the question is, would the police not automatically contact the school? dulwichbloke Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Yes, of course I did.

A brutal fight in the street should be reported immediately to the police - 999. Did you do that?

Lee - football season is over for a while now, you may be relieved to hear. And you may have noticed there was an election recently. You had your chance to vote for someone else, or to stand as an independent if you didn't like any of the available options. It strikes me that the electorate made its view on the current council (against other options) very clear. For example, the Labour candidates for Peckham Rye ward polled three times more votes than their nearest rival (Green).

Louisa - I am going to this and I sadly don't meet any of the criteria you outlined. I don't know about the other attendees yet, you might somehow have greater insight or knowledge of this?? And the early bird residents tickets were #15 so hardly out-pricing locals.

Great stuff!! Why was this shot in LL Londis?? Kid Cudi is American and the original version of this song has a video shot in the US. This video is just for the Crookers remix, but Crookers is Italian - also I don't think the guy in this version is even Kid Cudi is he??

Louisa, I don't think it's a class thing, it's a profitability thing. If you have a business that appeals to customers who don't sit within the middle-class/gentrification/newcomer set, but remains profitable, they stay open. This isn't meant as a snide value-judgement, but I don't see the bookies or chicken shops on LL closing down... and if I glance through the windows of those outlets, I don't notice them full of yummy mummy types blocking off access to the FOBs with their over-sized buggies.

yeah maybe....

Maybe, There are similar, larger events at Clapham Common which is unfenced and Victoria Park, fenced so it can't make too much difference...

Lee, I wouldn't be surprised that the workmen were surly if you addressed them in the same supercilious tone you wrote this post in.

Interesting post and had a similar(ish) experience a couple of years ago. I had been toying with the idea of buying one and to my discredit, hadn't given much consideration to the fur-lined hood. I was in Liberty and asked an assistant if they stocked that brand, to be told that Liberty did not stock fur products for ethical reasons. I did some quick research including PETA and the CG website, and bought something similar with fake fur. With regards to the question of is it okay to buy and wear non-fur CG items, that's a moot point if you consider that there are other major fashion brands who also use fur; Fendi produce a lot fur products and are owned by LVMH, so if you're against fur, would you also restrict yourself from any LVMH product - that's quite a long list. Burberry also have quite a range of fur products.

I support this and do currently own a car that would be liable for the charge. The reality is that in our area this change will not function as a tax on the poor, or anyone else, but as a de facto ban on the more polluting diesel vehicles. To use your car twice a week would cost ?1,300 pa so surely most people will accept they need to switch their car over rather than to pay the tax. The argument that this will disproportionately affect the poor is weak at best. It is true that this will be be a big change and much of the cost will be borne by those who currently own these cars, having bought them in good faith. Some of those will be less well off, but let's say you're on a modest income and you bought a car last week blithely unaware that diesels are now seen as unacceptably polluting - how much would this person have spent on this car? If it was ?20K I would suggest they might not be that poor after all. So maybe ?5k - that's still a fair amount of money though... depreciation means that the car would halve in value typically over three years, and let's assume that it halves again because of the ULEV - that's a loss of ?1,250 with three years to plan around it... are those figures about right? I'm not making light of a loss of around ?1,250 for someone on a low income, but that seems like it would be towards the far end of worst-case-scenario. And I would argue that there would be a scaling where typically, as the value of the car and therefore the loss increases, so would the income/wealth status of the individual affected. I've cobbled this together on the hoof and and it's not supported by source date, but I hope the general point makes sense. So the current situation can't continue. There's a price to pay for that. I think the price is worth paying.
