I don't know as I didn't live in either of those areas. I lived behind Oxford Street.

When did they use Peckham Rye Park? And why does Dimples not agree with your description of Simon? You really should be more careful.

Bow Mow Miaow does not use Peckham Rye Park.

Westminster does also cover areas like St. John's Wood and Maida Vale, both residential. Does Lordship Lane get a daily business collection?

When I lived in Westminster we had it every day. But I did live in a business district.

What do you recommend there Ratty? It's always busy at the weekend I have noticed.

Crossroads Cafe on Bellenden Road is supposed to be good.

Call Southwark Environmental Health and report it re noise and worries about the animal's well being. They have a dog warden.

I think Angela Norton employs or employed a man of that description.

Maybe it could be turned into a barista training school......

The chemist just moved to Melbourne Grove. Is there a sign outside? It's teeny tiny in there.

Put there due to bomb damage no doubt.

First Mate, The fenced in area in Peckham Rye could really do with a higher fence. It's very easy to jump for a fox or a dog that isn't short legged.

Concita, I saw what you posted on the other thread about having to pay for metal to secure your window. That should be covered through your insurance.

Concita, I understand what you are saying. The post and dustbin thing is very important. I do it for other people if they ask and I ask them to do it for me. If your neighbours are out at work all week then what will you do from now on should your alarm go off again?

James, are the new blue boxes bigger than the old ones? I am still using my newspaper bags and old blue box? Is co-mingling only 'allowed' in the pilot areas?

Who told you that type of alarm is only for business? I inherited it from the previous owner of the house. You pay the alarm company a certain sum every year which includes servicing and it includes a hook-up to the police who also get a portion of the money. To reply on your neighbours calling the police couldn't possibly work all the time as happened in your case. Why would you reply on neighbours who are out at work to monitor your alarm? I think that most people assume if an alarm goes off it means good citizens would all rush to their phones. But things like cats can set off sensors, which is what mine did in a previous house. There is a house alarm in my street that goes off quite often and lasts for over half an hour sometime. No one ever rushes to turn it off. I think people generally presume that having a burglar alarm puts potential burglars off and that they wouldn't dare break in. I wonder if any crime prevention officer could confirm that there are more break-ins now with places with alarms or perhaps it was always so.

Does co-mingling include putting newspapers etc. with the other stuff?

Sean is a moderator. Maybe it was his moderation wot dunnit.

What happens if you suspect a dog is half pit or another banned breed?

Iceland is very useful. Bought three cans of chickpeas for a pound. 2 packs of Somerset butter for ?2. They do two packs of crumpets for a ?1. You don't have to do all your shopping there.

Why would you want to pay over the odds for something when you can get it for less. If a Waitrose or M&S came then the traffic would be a lot worse.

Would you go into your home or expect a friend to go if you thought a burglary was in progress?
