Humdinger, it DOES do harm, at least a little. It makes people think that others are actively hostile and nihilistic and that is unpleasant. It also, in other forms, denotes "territories" and is thus threatening to some.

Dunstan's (Dunstans?) is particularly bad from Goodrich up the hill on the right hand side. Some houses have no space but others do and choose not to put them inside their garden. It looks ugly and encourages flytipping but, hey, if it's easier for them who are we to argue the benefits of neighbourliness?

Agreed, but it's not trendy to talk about toilets...

According to The Guardian, Dulwich Village will be one of the 50 new sites earmarked for a water fountain. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jul/18/locations-of-50-new-london-water-fountains-revealed (Canny folk can bypass this travel and the queues by simply using their own tap to refill their water bottles.)

Or you could decide to reduce or even cut out your coffee consumption from shops and take a flask instead or even stop the habit altogether! You'd be less jittery, save money and be less impactful on the environment....

When I have walked a friend's dog I often picked up poo left by other dogs. I am sure that one dog left a deposit daily because they were all the same size! It is just lazy or asocial people to blame, not the dogs, and seeing as the council cannot be there at all times, the next best thing is to pick up the poo even if it is not from your own pooch!

A text-dense A4 piece of plasticised paper on a lamppost near to the Texaco garage seemed to say that bus lanes around the area could be extended/altered in some way. It was pretty hard to understand so I may have got the wrong end of the stick. Does anyone else know about these plans?

An old lady was denied a seat by a young man today but she found one next to me and then said that the generations have changed and remarked that young people not going up to the top deck was just baffling to her. She had a stick and a heavy overcoat and warm hat and I felt for her and agreed with her in a short conversation. She had dignity, though and she wasn't angry, just resigned and a bit perplexed. (No. 12)

So the bins on the streets are emptied and just sent to landfill? Is there a second source on this, anyone? I'd've thought the rubbish would be somehow separated, at least to take out metal and glass.
-
Scrunch them up and tie them and you have a scourer!
-
Surely any rubbish in a council-owned bin would be sorted and recycled at the plant, or does it all go to landfill? In the short term, putting two bins side by side could help.

I have been three times when I have walked in and no other cubicle has been being used. The other time I was seen immediately but one other cubicle (of three in all, I think) was used. Perhaps I was lucky in my choice of time. Busy or not, the staff are good at what they do and are cheery and this is important.
-
The blood test facility is very good. The staff are really quick and friendly (no waiting times at all when I have been the last three or four times) and it is genuinely painless. The area itself is a bit shabby but it's clean. It is much preferable to going to King's but given that it is usually empty I wonder whether it will last.

It happens a lot, on buses too, often in conjunction with playing music or having open-mic conversations. Say anything and you will get verbiage or violence so I reckon we just have to put up with it. Welcome to London!

Private notices/flyers on lampposts
Nigello replied to Nigello's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I don't mind them being there and agree it adds to a sense of community but it is not community-minded to leave them. I do think it is just polite and fair to remove them once the event is over. -
If you must advertise your school fete/yard sale/street party etc. with laminated signs attached to lampposts and railings, please take them down afterwards. It's just being polite and not adding to unwanted street furniture. Southwark Council puts plenty up (those yellow ones) and never removes them so no need to add to the tattiness.

"New" bus routes starting 15th June
Nigello replied to Zig-Zag's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
The 12 is going to get 130-capacity extra-long double deckers. (See other post.) -
https://cbwmagazine.com/new-high-capacity-hybrid-bus-hits-london-roads/ This is an article on the type of bus I mentioned, saying it will be used on the 12 route. It is not spam!

I saw one of those six-wheeled double deckers that are often used as hop-on, hop-off tourist buses on Lordship Lane early on Friday evening with a 12 at the back. Perhaps the reduced frequency will mean bigger buses?
