  1. A similar sized wall on Goodrich wall came crashing down with considerable force a few months ago. Had someone been next to it they would have likely been injured.
  2. Tears
  3. Does anyone know if the station building will be renovated as part of this development? Yes, let's hope it is done with as much style, safety and commuter-friendliness in mind as Denmark Hill.
  4. Psycho Killer - Talking Heads Sunglasses After Dark - The Cramps (and lots of other stuff by them) Thriller - M Jackson Planet Claire - The B-52's (not particularly ghost/monster related, but taps into that early '60s "Twilight Zone" sound and mood)
  5. Rummage in the drawers to see if there is any address there then report them! It works.
  6. Remember that with the new "hopper" facility, you can get off one bus and get on another within an hour of first boarding so you won't be out of pocket. (I am hoping this hopper thing will mean less cramped buses at rush hour as it gives people more options.)
  7. Any of him on a bus? I *think* his dad was a bus driver......
  8. I am thinking about it. A lot. So much so, I've decided to depict it via the medium of tapestry.

    Parkin

    Does anyone know where I can get (good) parkin from? I will take either Lanx or York versions. Does Greggs down here do it down here? I am going to make some myself, but it is pretty hard to get the right stickiness and crumb, so need to have a back up. Also, where is the best place to get treacle toffee (soft and hard) in and around SE22? Thanks.
  10. Being spat at is degrading, potentially dangerous to one's health and punishable by law, so please report it.
  11. I think if it did something really well that was not available elsewhere nearby (a fantastic hot chocolate; the best donuts; bubble tea) it would get much more attention.
  12. Re pavemnens, please see emails and photos of bad ponding in and around Lordship Lane after the rain.
  13. Petitou on Choumert Road is good, and you can sit outside, but you may not be able to book. It does good and wholesome food, with lovely cakes and teas/coffees.
  14. The barbershop next to Mr Bao is doing half-price cuts (so, ?7) until 15/10. Two men were handing out leaflets this afternoon. It looks good inside and out, so good luck to them.
  15. What actually defines a nuisance, though? If someone has emphysema or another lung condition which deteriorates after having inhaled smoke from a chimney fire, is that enough? I think it's basic good manners - in a crowded place like London, especially - to not burn materials that could cause health problems or make them worse when there are other fuels that are readily available.
  16. There is supposed to be a Greek(ish) place opening opposite the CoOp chemist, just past M and S soon, but The Real Greek will likely be larger.
  17. https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules - these are UK Gov rules http://beta.southwark.gov.uk/air-quality/pollution-offences - Southwark's guidance, which says it is an offence to produce dark or black smoke from a chimney or open fire Wood on an open fire would likely produce dark, harmful smoke but much less likely to do so in an approved stove.
  18. If you know anyone with a wood burning stove or open fire I'm sure they'd be grateful for them.>>>>> Burning them in an open fire, inside or out, is not legal and is harmful to health, so don't do it!
  19. TfL Bus Alerts ‏@TfLBusAlerts 6m minutes ago Route P13 is subject to diversion and delays due to a Police incident on Choumert Rd / Chadwick Rd, SE15
  20. I'm with Louisa. The strip opposite the Picture House ponds like mad when it rains and when it doesn't you're nearly always sure of stubbed toe, embarrasing semi-stumble or full-blown a-over-t cropper.
  21. CoOp treacle tart is especially good, and with cream (or custard) it is even better. When it is on offer at ?2 you have to buy two. #TheFightbackBegins

    Crutches

    Why not return them to the Dept of Health, with a covering letter, or at least a link to this thread? Could make a good picture story for a magazine/newspaper/campaign group, if you are interested in that kind of thing!
  23. It could be that some of the houses in question are rented out and the landlords/landladies simply CBA. It could also be that they belong to people who are not physically able to do it, so a gentle offer of help could work here - if you know that is the case. Perhaps, though, even the most able-bodied house-owners are just too lazy to be bothered. The council can and will cut the bushes back but they'll do it in a very utilitarian way and then charge you for it. Some of the spots are dangerous because the foliage grows out to such an extent as to make people have to leave the pavement, not a great idea if you are pushing a buggy, walking a dog or are not as nimble on your feet as you were (or are in a wheelchair, etc).
  24. Seen at least four ED Sainsbury's-bound 42s in forty minutes as I sat outside La Scala. All were empty, save for around five passengers on either deck. Perhaps they were especially empty because they are new and they were at the end of the route?
  25. Louisa, is that a guess or cold, hard fact?
