Nigello

There are two tree pits empty on Goodrich Road, opposite Summerhill Referral Unit. Any chance of getting them refilled with a nice, healhty tree? I'm happy to pursue if you can give me a shortcut to the right person. Thanks.

I asked the woman in there what the shop was going to be and she said "retail, y'know, with coffee as well".

There are stop/go boards due to roadworks near Goose Green which is causing lengthy tailbacks along LL.

I'd like to help but want to know who's in charge, and under whose auspices any action would take place. Is it a council initiative? Does it work alongside the work fl0wer does? Even just picking up litter as you stroll around up there is a start.

The fact that people are being adventurous by posting a positive comment about what ought to be a consistently acceptable, if not good, service is an indication of how bad this place has become. I avoid it as much as possible; when I do, the doctor has been good as have the nurses, but the rigmarole of getting to see them is woeful.

How selfish of you who don't think a connection is needed. What about the poor sods who have to labour up and down Walworth Road on the often full-to-burst buses, for whom a faster connection into London would help them get to schools, colleges, places of work and cultural venues more conveniently. That Camberwell has no rail service - underground or overground - is unfair and for that reason alone I'd welcome a rail link of some kind for SE5 (and a Tube link for SE22/15 too).

It's too high-brow.

Pay DD for both fuels from the same provider and you will get a discount. Better still, go to uSwitch etc and compare the providers' prices. Turn off the internet, TV, DVD, charges overnight and fit draught proofing around doors and in the gaps of the floorboards. Keep the upstairs heated only a couple of hours or so before bedtime, keep the thermostat to about 19C and you'll see a difference.

Japan does good things with bicycle parking, too:

I think all eating and drinking ought to be banned on metropolitan public transport. I know it sounds draconian and broadbrush but you can't have a law saying "no chips, but crisps are ok; only sandwiches that don't contain fish; no burgers but wraps are fine". Noone *needs* to eat and slurp on a Tube train unless they are feeling hypoglycaemic, in which case they're likely well-equipped with sucrose tablets and/or medication.

It's helpful, but my questions still stand.

Has anyone recently applied for a tourist visa for India? If so, did you go and line up in person or get a visa company to do it for you? Thanks.

People who say "diaper" instead of "nappy", "gotten" instead of "got", "cell phone" instead of "mobile" really get my goat, unless they're from North America.

Tell them the boundaries before you leave them. I left some workies my keys whilst I went on holiday. They were there for about five days, all in all, and when I returned the work was done (decorating, plastering, rendering and removal of old render) and the house was as I left it. If they had taken tea or coffee they'd replaced it, as I did't notice any difference. (There was no milk in the fridge anyway.) Don't feel bad about confronting them. It's rude, unprofessional and disrespectful: they took a liberty and it left you feeling uncomfortable in your own home, which is hardly a good calling card to leave.

Being discussed today, Friday, on Today at about 0820.

Trove

Gargle with hydrogen peroxide solution. I bit the back of my tongue in my sleep in November. I didn't wake up at the time - sound sleeper that I am - but when I got up the next day I couldn't talk, was in great pain, and remained like that for three days. Swallowing was nasty because my tongue moved over the tooth in exactly the same place as it had been bitten! The H2O2 solution really helped.

Luca's - I was there last Friday and had a nice scrambled egg with tea (in a pot) for ?4.70. Has it closed since? Blue Brick Cafe is great, and Pretty's ?5 deal is hard to beat, though Duck Egg (?) near it is good too.

Could a protective glaze be put on it?

"Neighbouring occupiers include Caffe Nero, Oliver Bonas, White Stuff and Jojo Maman Bebe" says the spiel. Louisa, your tingling spidey senses just might be right?..

Looking forward to Pablo's reappearance and to other art projects in and around SE22 this May.

The Art of Falling Apart - Soft Cell

It would scrub up well. The lines and proportions are attractive, but in its current state it looks utilitarian and frumpish.

I am not for tagging - ugly, brutish and sometimes gang-related - but if the house owner on whose property the art is placed has agreed to it, then I'm for it, DF. It's true that not all of it will be to everyone's taste, but since that is unlikely to ever happen it's not an excuse not to do it.

I agree that it's a shame that the art has been removed. There has been vandalism of the more traditional kind to art near to East Dulwich station - now removed - and to the "art house" near to Townley Road/Lordship Lane junction: the three-eyed man has been tagged and tagging has appeared on the house itself and on the board outside. I hope there is more art to come. Anyone have any inside knowledge?
