I've just seen a driver turn right at Champion Hill, mount the kerb and squeeze through the narrow cycle lane right in front of three Southwark engineers. People, there's a camera right opposite watching for this! Pictures show the junction opposite the UCL Halls and the sign on Dog Kennel.

I'm not saying you did yourself - but as long as people leave the smallest of possessions on view, there will be chancers sniffing around in cars. Having a rifle around cars and houses is their way of life. The Met can print a million leaflets about locking your car but if we choose to ignore the advice, what's the blimmin' point?

How awful for you. We had to euthanise our cat last year so cannot imagine how it's for you. But sorry for not knowing how to react to a found and distressed animal.

Just for the record, I've had wrong deliveries in HH over Christmas. Seems the posties round here think that getting the number right but ignoring the street name is good enough.

Have those passports reported stolen/cancelled as a matter of great urgency.

Oh dear the Meldrews, your street appears to be a favourite haunt of a Location Scout or two. If you identify who that is (from a member of the crew) you might be able to vent your frustrations and suggest they look somewhere else as you find it too disruptive. Not that it'll make much difference but you'll at least let them know it's unpopular.

Just what I was thinking. I'd love to know how they're being training for these manoeuvres. We'll have to wait for the next series of Rams on Camera.

I see that the tree at the Village crossroads (opposite the schools) has been taken down by tree surgeons this morning. Was it diseased/unstable - and, seeing as its days before Remembrance Sunday, what of the memorial to the young Welsh Guard, Mark Evison? https://www.londonremembers.com/memorials/mark-evison Are there plans to reinstate the memorial and perhaps plant another tree?

Our shakes come from lorries (skip lorries mostly the culprits) banging over the speed hump near our house on Ruskin Park. The vibrations travel along the walls and wobble my screen.

Astonishing! I've often wondered what they look like to avoid falling for it - did you take a picture, by any chance?

Oh dear, when the thread about the site occupation started I feared there would soon be a post about the loss of connection via that exchange - and my fears have been realised. Honestly? As Tractorlad posted, do yourself a favour and stick to BT as Virgin are wholly unreliable. And who knows, perhaps BT might allow you more 4G allowance while the issue continues to wreck service? Always worth a call.

Aside from whether it's suspicious or not - I'm staggered that someone can leave their car that's worth such money is just parked up, depreciating by the hour. It really makes no economic sense. Mind you, the way some drive around here, I wouldn't dare take it out down LL.

I'd be more concerned of combustible cladding than cheap veneer.

Sorry to hear that there has been a motorist threatening others. Tempers were also high in the heat yesterday - exacerbated by the tail-backs caused by the lane closure in EDG near the station. The pollution was horrible too.

They do change runway directions mid-afternoon which may have something to do with it.

Nothing new. It's been 15+ years since we did the school run on bikes but the level of rubbish driving and discourtesy was bad even then. We would pedal down Ruskin Walk where the little darlings would be dropped off at the nearby nursery and doors would be routinely flung open as we passed-by. We made light of the journey, calling the mums deserving members of the DDC (Dulwich Door Club) but we always reached school in one piece and with smiles on our faces - whereas the mums always looked exhausted and angry. I often wonder how it turned out for them.

A leak in the Village too, it appears: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1933455

I wonder if that's why we have low pressure on the other Ruskin side of Denmark Hill?

Glad you're all ok. Keep your eyes peeled, Dulwich folk.

Sorry to hear about your car. I don't live near you but look out every morning to see if ours is still intact.

You've made my day, Peckhamguy!

I expect they'll choose to do Lordship when it causes the least disruption eg. school holidays. Not.
