I wonder if this is also why they've planted new cameras on DKH?

Well whether there's a mounted camera there or not, the line's there stating it's a bus lane and it irritates me when drivers hop over the line 30yds from the feeder arrow then undertake me sitting in the right-hand lane, patiently indicating left - and who then refuse to give way when I want to move over as I'm supposed to. And then you bleat about a PCN when you thought you'd got away with it. We all know there's little room to get over left but when the law says don't do it (whether you think its a crap law, or not) - don't do it.

Hilarious, Lady Norwood!

Thanks for this warning. I shall keep an eye out.

We've also been with Insurance4carhire though also never had to claim.

Thanks, Turtle. Do the owners do Twitter etc., I wonder? I know that when the little dog from the florists outside Herne Hill station went missing a few years ago, there was a very rapid/active social media campaign. Unfortunately (as far as I know), the dog was never found but it spread the word very quickly. Three weeks is a long time though.

I'm wondering though if the owners had them chipped? Given the time now, it's likely that they weren't.

We've just been reading the flyers on Lordship Lane about the theft of a Streatham dog walker's van with dogs inside which were then unceremoniously dumped in the Sydenham area. Does anyone know if the animals were recovered as the dog on the poster was said to be nervous and probably unable to find its way home. Thanks.

Well I'm using a BT hub but am wondering what the difference is with the new one and why that should render forums like this inaccessible?

Surely they should be reported anyway, not because it's 'in the news at the moment', but because it's plain wrong.

It'll be interesting eventually to see how Southwark and Lambeth folk voted. So far, it looks like it's Remain.

*Googles the word merfolk* Actually, no.

We would love to have been given a service with Virgin. They installed the cable (incl under the floorboards) and THEN decided that the cable couldn't be brought to the house at all - despite neighbours 150m up the road already subscribing. So we felt we had to go with BT. We get drops in speed after 6.00pm and sometimes I have to reset the router during the day.

We've just signed up with BT (rather than Virgin, but that's another story) and the same seems to happen after 6.00pm.

Thanks from us too.

Copied from another burglary thread but still very relevant to this one! "Sifting through all the burglary threads this morning makes for grim reading. We've been done over several years ago (a 4.00am break-in while we slept upstairs and we didn't hear a thing until the stairs creaked right outside out bedroom) and my wife didn't sleep properly for months, years afterwards, imagining noises of all sorts in the dark. But I would agree with others in that if you leave things in sight of a window or letter box then it will eventually lead to someone having a go and all the devices and locks won't make the slightest difference. As a result of our close escape from injury, we've gone to almost bonkers lengths to avoid a repeat but which I won't go into here and it's not until you've been through the same thing that you realise just how naive/stupid you were."

I swear I saw Simon Day in the yoghurt aisle the other day. He was last seen in the briliant Cradle to the Grave by Danny Baker. Tweeted him after the show but he hasn't replied. Can't think why. R

Yes, the Chinook did some circuits around Denmark Hill then landed in Ruskin Park at 2am and for perhaps 10 mins. Those rotors really clatter so triggered a broken night's sleep. The RAF often send in Puma, Merlin and Chinook helicopters for practicing evacuation and extraction in times of 'emergency' .. whatever that means.

If they're there to monitor bus lane misuse, then I say go get 'em. In fact, if they want more business, simply go to the Sainsburys left turn on Dog Kennel. Plenty of queuejumpers who can't wait to get in to the trolley track. *Puts on tiin hat and takes cover*

So THAT'S the reason for traffic backed-up at the lights on the hill. Been diverting left and going round the houses to Peckham Rye.

The link works fine for me on a Mac/Firefox. Anyway, this is the first I've heard of this closure so thanks for posting it. Havoc is one way of describing it.

Clearly a malfunction! Footage here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-30315650

I saw the Dawson Heights scenes as well as those shot in Dulwich Park - and more incredibly, they actually said they were in Dulwich Park.
