  1. Those work clothes are worn in eastern Europe and Germany.
  2. This is s great thread - thanks to those posting their routes. Here's our 4 parks 12k (7.4 mile although the app says 6.4. We don't believe it!) loop that 2 of us do every week and which takes us about 50-55 mins - little heavy traffic, green spaces, funny incidents to spot so lots to laugh about - even as we as we stagger up Greendale. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/375980925
  3. The offending (or offensive) poster is now down and the pavement cleaned - replaced, ironically, by an ad for Travelodge.
  4. Voters and non-voters have been defacing posters or images of politicians for millennia (and remember the brilliant artistic merit of the turf on Churchill's statue in Parliament Sq?). I've no objection of them doing so in the name or art or democracy but Southwark, at some cost, will have to clean up the pavement.
  5. I photographed it over the weekend: http://richardbaker.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/A-Main/G0000eCmPxfuw7AI/I0000d2dAQ52KBCo/C0000b8Wt9e454WA
  6. I took a walk along the boardwalk with a friend yesterday, telling him about this thread as we walked. He told me where he usually sees them but tragically, I didn't see one - not one. Cheated.
  7. If that's the case, I'd be interested to know its route from the A205. Turn right at DC into the Village or via the Norwood Road and under the existing HH bridge?
  8. From TFL's Easter Roads section: "South London area ? On Sunday, from 08:00 until 12:00, an abnormal load will travel under police escort from the M23, via the A23 and the A205 South Circular Road to the Herne Hill area. During this time roads in the vicinity may be busy." Anyone know what this might be? Not a bridge, surely!
  9. Oh, well - in ancient times they had plagues of locusts chewing the delphiniums so a little dust on your chariot isn't going to change civilisation.
  10. I really can't be bothered reading 2 lines of text that isn't punctuated in any way. Whatever they're trying to say is not worth a minute of my time trying to fathom whatever they're talking about.
  11. Here's a post of mine from a few days ago re the surgery appointment app: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1281301,1281301#msg-1281301
  12. I know there are issues with booking appointments at some ED surgeries but my own on Kestral Ave in HH have signed up to an app called Patient Access (https://patient.emisaccess.co.uk/. Take photo ID to reception, they give you some printed login details and you input those into the app to register. Once done, you can book appointments and order prescriptions which in theory will bypass the auto-redial nightmare bang on 8 0'clock. I've not tried this method yet and of course, others with no access to the net or apps will lose out. Anyone actually tried the system?
  13. Selfies. You can catch lice from them, I hear.
  14. The road from The Charter School to the Village is like off-roading on Paris-Dakar rally, so bad is the road. With a bit of luck, his pole with fall off anyway.
  15. Lovely. I wonder who the lady in the apron was at the toll gate?
  16. The whiff of weed discovered in CPR, as reported in today's Standard: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-on-patrol-stumble-across-huge-dulwich-cannabis-factory-9059320.html
  17. Just delivered a card to a neighbour in HH and saw one on their postbox which I've attached. It seems they're (the stickers, not the neighbours) still out there a week before Christmas.
  18. There's definitely one in Carnegie Library on Herne Hill.
  19. I wouldn't dream of wearing earphones on a run. Nothing to do with the fear of crime but rather the fear of ending up on a bonnet - and more especially because I love the experience of being outside and actually hearing everything around me (wildlife etc.). And anyway, there's enough hurting as I go round so the idea of sore ears afterwards isn't what I need too. Try unplugged!
  20. I think the advice is to take all keys from locks and not to place within reach. Oh, and leaving keys on hall tables within a pole's reach of the letterbox is a bad idea too.
  21. Here's a sorry from another sympathetic resident, done over at 4.00am by persons unknown who entered via the back and came up our creaky stairs before realising we were in bed. We're still stressed about it years later. And slightly off target - but what is CPR? I'm guessing Crystal Palace Road.
  22. Peckford Place is in Brixton, not Stockwell: http://binged.it/1bfPIni
  23. Like'em or loathe'em, a cat is definitely the answer if you have mice. Only had one incidence since getting ours and the one that dared enter the house was sniffed out and removed by our mouser. Have it 'done' though.
  24. So the stickers are genuine, says the Standard! http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/mystery-of-burglars-markers-unlocked-8953772.html
  25. The story says they're being used in Wandsworth so are you confirming they're now in Dulwich? Neighbourhood Watches and community police need to be told (if they don't know already). Watch out, folks.
