  1. Hello, I came across this today, and while not ED-specific, it certainly puts Southwark Council in a not-too-good-a light. https://novaramedia.com/2019/08/12/we-are-not-nothing-the-local-businesses-fighting-to-stay-in-south-east-london/ see also https://oldkentroad.org.uk/ It rather put into perspective the lunacy of some of Southwark Council's decisions as mentioned on this forum over the years.
  2. Nextdoor is a legitimate company. There is a page about them here on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextdoor Its registration process is onerous: They require: Postcode, first line of address, email address, mobile phone number For first line of street address, they wish to confirm it via either a phone call to your mobile or a postcard sent to your address. There is a note saying "We'll automatically mail you a verification postcard if we can't confirm your address another way." I wonder if someone might have created an account and given your address and you have just received said postcard after a while.
  3. There are two near Peckham Rye station -- one small one on Blenheim Grove at https://www.marketpeckham.com/mini-market/ and one on Rye Lane https://www.marketpeckham.com/
  4. DulwichFox, there are at least two twenty-four hour shops on Lordship Lane. Quite often, if I'm up all night working, as I was last night, I'll wander down to one of them to get some snacks for a break.
  5. I thought the same and I have already reported this twice via the Thames Water site. https://www.thameswater.co.uk/Help-and-Advice/Bursts-and-Leaks/Report-a-Leak-or-Burst-Pipe but nothing yet
  6. Amazingly I found this in the front garden of a house on Muschamp Road. The case showed evidence of having been mauled at by a fox. :-)
  7. I dropped my Pixel phone on Wednesday night. Google's find-my-device shows it on Muschamp Road, but nobody's answered it yet. If you see it please let me know and I'll happily pay a reward.
  8. Does anyone know when the Telephone Exchange was built or did you ever work in there?
  9. Yes! Fara Charity Shops -- here's a link to their closest branch in Balham -- http://www.faracharityshops.org/kids_shops/balhamKids_fara.php They are absolutely brilliant -- a charity shop for toys and books and clothes, which will only have relatively short usage and then are ready for the next little one. Give them a look. :-)
  10. Just leave it out front. Someone'll pick it up.

  12. there is nothing new coming on in SE22 at the moment.
  13. Good form in cases like this (such as excessive noise, which I know this isn't, but the point remains) is to be co-operative, and not at all confrontational. Telling someone you've reported them to the authorities without giving them a chance to defend their position does not count as such, but is something worthy of Lynda Snell. Much better to warn / tell the person / people in question first that something bad has happened and ask them if they know anything about it, rather than snitch in the first instance. Indeed, not doing so immediately disproportionately strengthens your case should they reoffend, and *then* you have the moral right to escalate. (cue 10-page thread...)
  14. try garlic, lemon, and honey repeatedly. I had it last year between Jan and April. Would not shift.
  15. Could someone recommend to me a good surveyor, (based on the thoroughness of their report, mainly), who is familiar with the vintage of houses around SE22 and environs, and especially with the kind of extensions (and shortcuts) which people make on them? I have endured one too many slapdash reports, which I could have done myself, with a competent builder friend in tow. In fact, that might be the preferred strategy. Surveyor reports seem to be there merely to keep the mortgage company happy that what they are lending on is in fact what they think it is and not about to collapse, etc Thanks, all.

  17. I do find it odd that k.tchen is a BANNED word here.
  18. foxy, think of it as drowning one's sorrows in panini and lattes to make up for the loss of the ED Warehouse and homemade
