Which what?

The glaziers just off Lordship lane do that, we had some made last year and they were very reasonably priced and done quickly.

The apartment blocks have onsite skips for residents and groundsperson use. So presume flytipping is coming from other more unscrupulous avenues.

The charity shop on the corner opp forest hill pools takes furniture and will collect. The name escapes me at the moment but it's the blue fronted one.

Is anyone seriously suggesting that a person on ?100k plus isn't rich? London housing is actually insane, could easily rent a house elsewhere for the price of a room in a London flatshare!

Operation goes down a storm in our house. Similarly junior scrabble, admittedly not so much fun for the grown ups!

Fantastic guy, excellent free range stuff, I thought it would be really pricey but was very pleasantly surprised! Agree the eggs are lovely.

The Plough hands down. The clockhouse was awesome but since the resident quizmaster left the Plough takes the crown. Excellent quiz master, healthy competition, zero tolerance on cheating and a wide variety of questions and picture sheets.

Charity shops serve a dual purpose, one is of course to raise funds for the charity the other is to allow people with lower resources to buy items they could not otherwise easily afford. Which in itself is a form of charity. Placing them in affluent areas allows people who are in position to give to do so, and there are plenty of people even in leafy suburbs who need charity shops.

Just wanted to put up a recommendation for Kelly at one call beauty. She fitted me in at super short notice, tackled the removal of the worst gel pedicure ever (which I had got elsewhere) and sorted me out with a fab gel mani/pedi before an important event. What's more she was really lovely, brought absolutely everything, all I had to do was choose a colour! Would certainly give her a call for other treatments.

Hi, does this include removing existing gel mani/pedi first? If not how much extra would that be? Thanks!

Umm where in the original piece does it say anything about social problems at Dawsons? Just says about clever balcony design.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this, reminded me to get a long put-off repair on a clock done, Greg was great. Really reasonable and even explained the problem and how to avoid it on the other clock I have of the same design.

Must say we contacted Aaron on the strength of all of these recommendations and he quoted far and above the other 3 quotes we received. I obviously can't comment on the standard of his work but we have had some remarkable work done by others at far lower rates.

It's a fabulous place to live, kids can play outside in a less structured way than being taken to the park. It's safe, well lit, well maintained and almost eerily quiet for so many people in one place. Also the flats are HUGE. Grim reputation maybe, but that certainly isn't the reality.

Could you give your website for an idea of what the pics will look like and and ide aof what the shoot will involve? Thank you.

What time did this happen? There was a non-violent mugging near the top of Barry Rd by two young men and might be connected? The police are investigating so please give them any info that you can.

A charity based company is not a charity which is presumably why you choose not to register with the charity commission, not this tosh about your earnings. Wouldn't it be better to be a bit more upfront and transparent about what you are?

Why would Trident deal with this? If the local police for some odd reason chose to refer on to trident then they would still be taking action rather than ignoring this woman in the disgraceful way they have. Either way Trident isn't really the appropriate department.

OK it's a bit shabby but it's cheap, nearby, has beer and I've never had a problem with the staff (but then I've never been a fan of that faux american style service you get in some chains). Happy to keep supporting local independent businesses.

Similarly he came round to give me a quote and didn't ever get back in touch or respond to messages...I thought maybe we'd scared him off!

Umm they told me they had 'just run out' of vinegar about a month ago. Seriously sounds like they have lost the plot if they can't get their act together to buy a bottle of vinegar!

Also to counteract the negativity! If leasehold with a housing ass. as opposed to council it is possible to pay a little extra on top of the service charge towards works so that you are never landed with a bill regardless of the costs of works or how much you have paid in.

Ex local tend to be solidly built, excellently serviced in the case of most housing association blocks (there are many in Dulwich, Dawson's Heights being the largest I think) and with loads more space for your cash even when considering service charges. Also buildings insurance is usually included and any major problems that arise (leaky roof, external doors, pipework etc) are usually done free of charge as it is included in the service charge so in my experience it is a money saver rather than a problem.

I suppose it's down to the individual organisations, blocks, and agreements etc.

I agree, we used to be in there a lot but it just keeps getting worse and worse. We've given up, not like there aren't loads of other options round here! Shame as it's in a really convenient location which is why I presume it keeps going.

Yup, kids are welcome. Took a four year old up there for some lunch and a play to escape the shopping crowds and it was great. I see kids of varying up there most of the times we go until around 7pm.
