Nigello

TBF, the council has tackled graffiti on Walworth, Old and New Kent Roads - you can see that many businesses there have been cleaned up en masse - but Rye Lane hasn’t.

Yes - remove shutters and put them behind the glass; apply resins or sprays that make it easier to remove paint; oblige landlords and shop owners to take action; patrol nightly, etc. There’s always a way.

Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s.

Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, ? Does your broadbrush bias extend to Welsh, Scottish and N Irish/Irish waiting staff also or is it only non-native speakers that you admire unconditionally?! Hospitality staff are a varied lot, as are their moods and attitudes at any one given time.

Jersey Moths are about and have been for the last fortnight or so.

Of the two councillors, only one in that ward has ever responded to my emails or texts (for which I’m grateful, of course)….

No, let’s be realistic and base our predictions on ample evidence.

And don’t call your dog “doggo/woofer/pup”.

I don’t want the gatekeepers/key holders deciding what or what doesn’t merit being on the board. It’s for council/municipal information only. It’s not right that commercial or political parties or social campaigners be allowed to take advantage of such a facility. So, if the key holder can work with the relevant councillor/s, this would be a great idea. If not, it woudn’t.

Does air pollution reduce significantly when schools are on holiday? Congestion does, so I’m guessing it does go down but I’d like to see evidence.

Council street cleaners sometimes bag up and leave them on top of the bins they empty. Some don’t. Best you can do is send images with date/time/location to your MP and councillor (via WriteToThem, with full address and phone number). Or, pick up the odd can or bottle or tied-up poo bag every now and then. How do we know for certain that binmen, street cleaners or bag collectors do or don’t have the time?

Yes, it’s this kind. I only noticed it because it’s in more places than I’ve seen it before.

How about doing what is necessary but not what looks extra-good on the world stage (such as fixing and hitting targets that go beyond requirements).

No, it’s not fluffy and wispy. It’s like a miniature and green version of wheat. Anyway, there’s a lot of it about!

I’ve noticed a lot more of that green grass that looks a bit like corn or barley. Is it naturally-occurring or should I suspect the hand of a “guerrilla gardener”?

Please tell me where the *bats* are. I’ve an empty swift box so I’m more interested in the little flying mammals.

Which part of Upland? I’m guessing nearer to the cemetery.

The board in the Village (just near the pub) is in pristine condition, full of council-related information (though someone had stuck a flyer on the glass, now removed). Maybe the councillors there actually CBA to make use of a facility that took time, effort and taxpayers’ money to instal?

“Unhelpful” to what or to whom? It suggests you require any response to accommodate your views. It’s a forum, not a support group. Maybe the school run could be done on foot or on bicycle to be “helpful” to you and others?

Is there a phone number for the Peckham sorting office that anyone could share?

How could P Rye accommodate bus lanes? There are only two lanes - one in each direction. Part of the grassy area would need to be removed and then Tarmaced to have at least one lane extra.

Poundland on LL was/is badly run. It’s often too hot, the products sometimes lack price tags, the music is loud and cuts out every fifteen seconds so I can’t say I’m surprised but I’m sad it’s going.

Austerity or CBA-ity?

Tas on The Cut is decent and has tables outside. The road is not too busy now so it can be pleasant.

How nice that the firm that charges you ££ to withdraw your own money is keeping its cash cow nice and clean.
