Recommending Plumber - Hunter Heating Solutions
davidq100 replied to HunterHtingSolutions's topic in Reviews
Another thumbs-up for Billy @ Hunter Heating. He was able to fit us in at short notice to service (and mend) our boiler and test a couple of other appliances in the house. He spotted a missing flue bracket and replaced that too, and sent the gas certificates via email later the same day. Professional and efficient job for a fair price. Superstar, highly recommended - thanks Billy! Billy's number - 07986 296453 -

Kens is good too, but much of a muchness really. A bit further afield, Masters between Waterloo and Elephant & Castle is outstanding as many a black cab driver will vouch.

Make North Cross Road a 7 day a week Market
davidq100 replied to Jakido's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Anyone know if NX market will reopen from next weekend? Apparently outdor markets are now permitted to do so from June 1st. https://metro.co.uk/2020/05/25/outdoor-markets-car-dealerships-will-reopen-next-monday-12756280/ I hope so - I've missed the popcorn place and Comfort & Joy these past couple of months. -
Have you tried the Zooplus website? They sell pretty much all of the special dietary dried pet food at good prices (much cheaper than the vet) and free delivery via DPD to your door for orders over ?40. They have some shortages on some lines at the moment (e.g. the particular Royal Canin stuff we need for our cats) but you can set up an alert to be told when your brand comes into stock.

I think your theory is pretty solid. I happened to stop in at the Sainsburys behind Elephant & Castle railway station late morning today (below the Gymbox). I don't think there's parking there. They had lots of stock of fresh fruit, veg, milk, eggs, bread and meat. They even had toilet rolls! (being strictly rationed). No pasta, rice or tins tho but other than that it was almost like a normal shopping experience. It's a bit of a detour but prob less frustrating than trying to beat locust swarms elsewhere.

mutual aid whatsapp group for barry road
davidq100 replied to rigandridg's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Is this just Barry Road or surrounding. I live on Friern and keen to assist any one local in need. -
Now becoming a bit of a challenge to find kid's medicine (Calpol, Olbas oil) anywhere which is irritating. If anyone's interested the Cheese Block has a decent stock of dried Garafolo pasta at a fairly reasonable price (?1.60 per pack) as of this morning (everywhere else stripped bare of the stuff)

Zip cars leaving vehicles in our road
davidq100 replied to PandG's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
KaiShin Wrote: "I paid, but had to drive a very old and broken car" Really? I am very suprised. All the zip cars I've used have been very new. Btw I would highly reccomend Zip Car Flex for getting to Heathrow. You can drop the car off in the short stay car park at T5. Rarely costs more than ?20 even including their ?5 Heathrow fee. -
Agree with the comments about the need to improve the Kelly Avenue Lynhurst Way jct. However before dealing with that, I wonder whether the Council could at least re-surface the Peckham Road end of Lynhurst way. Coming back from town, the road past the school is bone-shakingly terrible! A proper cycle path into Burgess Park from the end of Chandler Way would also be very welcome too.

Recommendations for Traditional Sunday Lunch
davidq100 replied to Cazz's topic in Request a Tradesperson
Also worth considering the Coal Rooms at Peckham Rye station or Peddler (both excellent). If you can make it into town, The Hawksmoor Sunday roast is Epic! -

No garage attached so no vested interest > in failing you! +1 for the Test Centre in Deptford. Have been 3 years in a row with my 18yr old BMW convertible. They are very reasonably priced, thorough and efficient. As Alec1 says, they offer a free re-test if you fail and do not do any repairs, so it's in their interest for you to pass! The only fault they ever found was a broken light bulb - the one thing they can fix for you - which they did for ?2. Last time I went, I happened to go to KwikFit a couple of weeks after for a new tyre, and they tried to flog me all sorts of 'fixes for problems' that would soon fail an MOT. Told them to take a hike :-)
