Well, you tried. Perhaps it's best to move on now.

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!

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.

Yup, fell for that, hook, line and sinker. Although, in my defence, I've been up a ladder painting, completely oblivious to the date.

Thinking of Sarah, her friends and her family. I so hope there's a good outcome to this.

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.

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

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.

Lidl have a transparent tube for AAs.

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.

Yep, best avoid driving near the Village for the foreseeable: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/emergency-transport-measures-in-dulwich-village-in-response-to-coronavirus/

If they're fruit flies (they're tiny and silent) then put some vinegar in a small dish and watch them perish.

Picture request, please.

And now you can report breachers online. This is for Manchester https://www.gmp.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/c19/tell-us-about-possible-breach-coronavirus-measures

Has anyone read something about droplets from exhaled cigarette and vape smoke?

Some just find spacial awareness a particularly distant concept. I posted a reply the other day in the 'runners in DP' thread after last running through there on Tuesday, making a huge point of avoiding anyone I saw, having to detour to maintain at least 2-3m. It really isn't a problem if your eyes are open. I absolutely get that walkers find a panting human bearing down on them, intimidating - so, from one runner to another - it's exercise, not the Olympics.

I ran through DP yesterday at lunchtime and made a huge effort to avoid people (I'm more often through there early mornings and so uncomfortable among others). It is true that new runners may find it harder to swerve/balance to avoid others though that's not an excuse. But in HH a little later the person who marched straight towards me to almost pass within inches, had I not stepped into the road was especially irritating. Some have rubbish spacial awareness anyway, and will never get it.

9am this morning and an orderly queue was fed into both doors after NHS and the elderly had been in. No stampede and no grabbing inside - just shoppers blocking an aisle hugging and saying hello to old friends.

When our CPZ came into force about 10+ years ago, Lambeth's online procedure used to be horrendous and starting a CPZ account was not something I'd wish to go through again. Nowadays however, I can renew my permit within minutes although the fee has climbed from ?85 to just under ?200 which is now my real complaint.

Pretty sure there were some in Dulwich Park last weekend.
