  1. It's quite possible (note the use of conjecture and suggestion here), the brigade may have used the incident as an excuse for a water training exercise. We'd all hope that when called to something very serious involving say, children, they'd already be very familiar with their equipment - so I wouldn't so hastily be critical of them sending four tenders for a pet.
  2. The Mail are reporting (so possibly unreliable) that it was the brick block on the Loughborough Junction end of Shakespeare.
  3. I'm in no way associated with 'Poached' a few doors away, but the coffee there is way superior than Pret's watery/milky nonsense.
  4. My wife's. We polished the lot off within 24hrs.
  5. They replaced a single rotten sash frame though not recently - more like 5 years ago. They did a good job!
  6. Whoaaah, that's some engineering in that! I think however, there's probably some law over here about spraying (spoiler) glitter over the perps. Deserved of the thief perhaps but in one clip there was a child in the background.

  8. The Uni message boards are full of these sort of requests. There are a lot of young people out there needing logistical help so do encourage her to check there.

  10. It still needs reporting to the police and presume you did so in order to get an incident number for your insurance company?

  12. Yes we saw it on the way to Lidl. Indeed, a fast acceleration from the junction before taking off over the hump. I do wonder how far the car made it afterwards!
  13. Hope you get the damage sorted soon. I can imagine the driver loding control over the speed hump that's a few metres away. Given the distance from the junction however, hard to achieve.
  14. Yup, fell for that, hook, line and sinker. Although, in my defence, I've been up a ladder painting, completely oblivious to the date.
  15. Thinking of Sarah, her friends and her family. I so hope there's a good outcome to this.
  16. I've read of one near us - where the Dulwich Art Club now has its hut, at the rear of the Fox on Champion Hill. Would have made sense because of its height and seclusion.
  17. I passed on my redundant desktop Mac to Lambeth Tech at the weekend. They take old PCs and Macs (and not necessarily laptops) to families and students struggling with being online - or take the parts from older models that can't be upgraded to later operating systems. They collect or one can drop-off at specific times. https://lambeth-techaid.ju.ma
  18. I thought I'd walk and not drive through ED for the 7am shop queues, but almost collided with an electric unicycle and its rider on the pavement at the bottom of DKH early this morning. Dressed head to foot in black and no lights - he was most indignant that I hadn't seen him come behind me, on the pavement, in the dark. Had it ended differently, it would have been better to drive.
  19. Lidl have a transparent tube for AAs.
  20. Virgin promised us a cable package, came round to fit the box and run cables through the house (I even took up some floorboards before they arrived) then when it came for the street team to connect us they then decided they couldn't extend the cable 100m away from our front door. We dropped them like a hot potato and have never regretted going to BT.
  21. Yep, best avoid driving near the Village for the foreseeable: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/emergency-transport-measures-in-dulwich-village-in-response-to-coronavirus/
