Looking for someone to sand down existing wood kitchen worktops and re seal. Ideally mid July.

We are looking for a gardener to help with moving some young trees and plants due to building work happening. Thanks

I?ve checked the registrations and I thought the tax had just run out on both of the number plates? I?ve no doubt they?re cloned plates from an unsuspecting car owner or stolen. The fact that they came to swap the plates 3 hours after taking something out of it, makes me think they might have had the second set made up specifically to disguise the car. Unless of course there?s another blue golf r nearby that have had them stolen. I?m not sure where to even start with speaking to Southwark and as for the police not being interested because the current plates are not reported as stolen or of interest, it really bothers me. There?s obviously something wrong and the police know cars get cloned to sell on or to use for robberies. There?s more than I?m saying on here for obvious reasons but this isn?t just a case of someone parking their car and looking like they?re up to something. It also has completely flat tyres now too.

I have reported it to the police, so have multiple neighbours but we keep getting told that the car is not of interest, most likely because the plates are wrong. I don't think the police are at all bothered with car theft but it could easily be linked to burglaries and muggings in the area too.

It's a huge thing, stealing to order and having plates that match the make, model and colour so if reported to the police then not already reported as stolen. If anyone has had a blue Golf R stolen, then I know where it is (for now, it will be gone tonight).

Is your number plate either VN15 ZJE or BF15 RVY? if so then they have both been on a stolen car in Druce Road today. The VN plates were on it this morning and they came to swap them to BF this afternoon.

We went to eat on Friday evening, really liked it and will go back.

Try animal aunts, they have experienced pet sitters that will come to your home. They aren't cheap but they are very very good with pets, especially those with extra needs. We always use them for holidays as one of our dogs has a disability and can't walk very far.

Is it a house the Dulwich Estate currently own or just a house within the Estate boundary? It doesn't really make sense to me either way but people have definitely bought and sold within the boundary recently so it could be an issue with that particular property or with estate owned properties. The fees charged to live within the Estate boundary are only a few hundred pounds a year so even if a charge were to be top of the list, I can't imagine it would have much bearing on the mortgage amount. I've just remortgaged with Scottish Widows on my house within the boundaries and there weren't any issues.

I had a similar thing happen with someone riding on the pavement in the Village one evening, but he was wearing a full motorbike crash helmet wrapped with flashing lights. He really swore at me to get out of the way and shouted a lot but I couldn't understand a lot of it through the helmet, thankfully. He also stopped the bike once he'd passed me and looked like he was going to stop for a row. Could be the same guy without the helmet as the abuse came out of nowhere and for no reason other than me walking home on the pavement. He wasn't young, in his 50's at a guess. The flashing lights and crash helmet did make me think that he had other problems going on, not just me being in the way so I hurried home a little gobsmacked but gob firmly shut.

If you don't get a bill from them once a year then unlikely you're inside their boundary.

That's the grey and white one I know. He's fairly calm these days, I think he's getting old.

Ah not one of mine then, mine are both bengals, one small and one huge (but dopey). There is a grey and white cat at the bottom end of Court Lane but he doesn't seem to wander far. Sorry can't think of any others, hope they give up soon!

where are you on Court Lane? I'm on the corner of Druce Road and one of my cats keeps going missing for 48hours and coming home with bitten ears and lots of small injuries. Just wondering if this is connected and if my cat, then I might be able to work out where he's going. He's neutered though so wouldn't be mating, more like scrapping.

I agree DulwichGlobetrotter

Worked for a large concert promoter in my 20's, had to be the guest list booth person at a lot of large concerts for no extra pay, it was supposed to be a perk. I have never encountered so much abuse in my life, people were vicious if the tickets weren't what they were expecting or name wasn't there etc. I even got spat at right in the face once. It doesn't sound too terrible compared to everyone else, but I hated it and can't stand crowds at all these days!
