    I agree. The pavement that ought to have been done first (apart from the ponding valleys outside my house and those of my neighbours) is that opposite the Picturehouse, where puddles inches deep form when we have moderate-to-heavy rain.

    Don't pay for bags and use newspaper or a clapped out tea-towel or kitchen roll etc. instead. It's not hard and you'll be doing the environment a (very small) favour.

    Just make the prices a little bit dearer, so little that none will notice, and then pay a decent wage and offer bonuses. Seems fair and simple and, who knows, people may feel so relieved that there is no service charge that they may, er, leave a tip - a gratuity that is really is freely given!

    James, Why should council or charity funding be used to "help" Network Rail/TOC to clear up what it should be doing itself? If the sidings are the responsibility of either (or both), then it should be up to that body to keep them litter free. How about a small grant to help the elderly/disabled etc who cannot keep their garden trees/bushes tidy to do so? It may then spur on others who are able but slack.

    Or don't tip and ask the owner to add a few pence to each item on the menu and then remove the 10 or 12.5 or 15% "discretionary" charge which s/he knows most people won't ask to be removed. Tipping is backward, patronising and tawdry. Socially enforced (on pain of embarrassment) is even worse.

    Ed_pete - great idea, though I really think Network Rail or the associated rail firm should be doing that. Ring up either/both to get action!

    I agree, Sue. As for kids (small, able to sit on laps of parents/older kids) - please don't let them take away a seat from a fare-paying adult. I've asked parents to please put toddler on their lap so I can have a seat and don't feel unchivalrous for asking.

    How about a twice-yearly attack at weeds and overgrowing trees/bushes. Perhaps this is meant to happen already, but, in my experience, it does not happen as much as it should. Don't like the lights idea, but a few extra around Christmas and New Year would be good. Like the idea of fenching off the back of Londis.

    Petitou had a basket outside yesterday in which there were lots of apples and a sign asking people to help themselves. Not sure what variety they were but they looked perfect for stewing and cake-making, so I took some.

    Glacial - Iceland - the irony!

    The report in the Telegraph, I think, said Lidl was looking at "upmarket" areas and included Dulwich in that list. Whether it was speculation on the reporter's part I have no idea.

    Blue Brick Cafe is good. It has chairs outside as well, but I'd say it is not the place to linger for hours with just a couple of coffees to keep you going: it's a small venture with limited space.

    Perhaps they could move further into the centre of the Rye or practise way over the back part of it, near to the girls' school. That way, the sound would have further to travel.

    What he meant was that not every door can accommodate every kind of bar but it got mangled in my memory. Two dead locks - both at the appropriate part of the door - are also a good idea.

    I think clockworkorange has my vote.

    Someone tole me there was an article in The Times (which I do not subscribe to) that all the Boris buses in service will have no conductors. Would love to know what Heatherwick, the man behind the design, things of that. http://www.valshawcross.com may be able to help anyone who wants to complain about the buses or offer suggestions.

    Zedd, It looks roomy outside at the back but quite compact inside, but the space out front is fenced off and a good spot to leave buggies/dogs on leads etc.

    Not every door is suitable for a bar: it depends on the hinges, I was told by a reliable locksmith.

    I remember the water works at the FH/Dunstan's Roads junction, when "temporary" lights were added to "help the traffic flow". The works finished, the lights remained. Stealthy Southwark?

    Callie - wrap the food in old newspaper and put it into the brown bin. It takes hardly any time.

    It's called Norris and Knight and is open now (but not Mondays).
