Silly question maybe. Can you still get a beer and burger inside?

And the park that you knew and loved will change to appease the greens. Look to the local drains and sewers. As if

Wasting lots of money

The bad news is the builder and their air-handling system hasnt worked properly since installation. It's too damn hot for classes etc. That their contract meant it could only be fixed by them else any other supplier fixing it would be totally at the councils expense and nullify the contract. Finally after 3 1/2 years the council has agreement from the builder to come and fix it. No specific time has yet been agreed but when I know I will share that information here. Wby has it taken so long? After it was installed and the snagging process took place why was it not fixed and continued to be fixed? Did Southwark claim compensation or consider legal action?

What would the law say if they could not see it?

Perhaps the right response to this should have been My gerbils bigger than that Matter dead and buried

If caught will he have to appear in a line up for the offending appendage to be identied and his waste water crossed referenced with the orange liquid that has been left in ED

Dulwich Medical Center. Crystal Palacce Road Has the service got better. Dropped renewal request into chemist first thing Tuesday morning. To be ready for collection after 5 on Thursday Went in midday Friday, no medicine. Told to come back before 6. Result no medicine. Reception told chemist prescription in front of doctor still to sign. Asked if they could go and ask doctor to sign. Answer we are to busy to do this Come back next week MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP. HAS THE SERVICE IMPROVED JOKE

Not to undermine your right to opinion but to bring to your attention that there are others who find that Iceland is an important port of call for provisions. As you get older you actually might find these people exist and live in ED and do not have the expediture to frequent the kind of store you are desperate to transplant in. "Those pesky older folk eh, always in the way of bright young things.... Soylent Green appearing on local menus soon." Unable to accept change, I would have thought they have accepted more change in their lifetimes than you or I and moved forward and will not be broken by a loss of a shop. Plently disappeared in their lifetimes sometimes over night I can afford to shop where ever my fancy takes me but I am aware of others and find it amusing that these shops have to be there to prop up the current overpriced house purchases and I would imagine a source of worry in some quarters to fund them without renting out rooms. When interest rates go up the curtain will be lifted. Hi ho off to the pound shop. No hangups, life is grand

Don't travellers usually turn up just before a Bank Holiday when the Council is just about to shut down. If it's not a legal site move them on before they become entrenched and the Council starts running around in circles. IF you feel strongly they can rock up wherever they please why not help residents who have to put up with this by offering the travellers your garden or drive. Not a good idea, thought not.

Why mess around with trying to find someone. Send it directly to Eleanor Kelly, Chief Exe and Peter John, Leader of the Council.cc Cllr Barber and Cllr Hamvas asking for an explantion and the name of the person in Charge. If you manage to find anyone they have 10 working days to respond or send a holding reply. Council procedure

Or did no one turn up and a pet project was pushed thru with no opposition or awareness from the local community. How many other new rules are passed thru with no knowledge from the community. It only takes one proposal and no objections to go thru. Any comment

If it was Waitrose would there be a different explanation. How about Iceland different again

Unfortunatly what appears to be cheap can with Local authority properties turn into very very expensive on going bills. How many L/H have found for example to replace windows they are paying thru the nose with Council charges. With a Council tenant still in residence you will never be able to buy the freehold and you will be subject to them exercising due care and attention in relation to the property. They do not have to pay for repairs. Never forget you are only buying the right to live there for a certain number of years which decreasing as time goes buy. Although a single house conversion on a street is far better than a property on an estate

You do need to find a good solicitor and make sure he understands and explains in full Right to Buy transactions and the pitfalls. If you have a light in a communial hall the electricity is coming from somewhere. When you say the Major Works bill is ?20.000.00 for the next 5 years is that what is showing on the pre-assignment form. If it is that is common pratice to list all potential works for the future. What is quite common is when tenants go to being L/H they still think many of the Services come for free.
