Great live band in House of Tippler on now!

Why on earth is someone using a pneumatic drill at this time of night? Near North Cross Road, quite insistent....and a bit annoying....

Hi there Is it possible you might have missed a number off Nick's contact info? Seems to be one number short - I'm also on the hunt for a painter - thank you.

Just thought I'd put a note out there to the owner of a red mini with a white roof which had been parked in Archdale Road for a while - I noticed a clamp on it yesterday due to no tax, and a low loader took it away this morning. Think the reg had J90 in it.

Might be worth a call to your buildings insurer?

Hi there I used to cycle regularly from ED to the Hilton in Rotherhithe and then take the Hilton Ferry over the river (a 3 minute crossing). I stopped as I nearly got knocked off near Surrey Quays & it rather put me off, (along with getting to work sweaty), but parts of the journey were ok. Adys Road, Bellenden Road - all the way to the end, past Peckham Library, various options to the Old Kent Road, cross over onto Rotherhithe New Road (which has a cycle path some of the way), keep going all the way to Surrey Quays, onto Redriff Road, then follow discreet signs for the Hilton. There is a bike park at the Hilton or you can take the bike on the boat. Perhaps you could persuade work to subsidise the Hilton Ferry? Mine does which makes it my preferred route, although now I drive most of the time. I hope you find an option to suit you.

I think you might find bumper cars are made for bumping, but I don't agree that the purpose of car bumpers is for people who can't be arsed to take a bit of care to merrily bang into when parking their vehicle.

Looks a lot like this, but my bumper is scratched to bits. Very sad, it's managed ten years with hardly a mark and a few months of London life has resulted in a couple of hundred pounds worth of damage. It is the total lack of care, as ClareC refers to which irritates me the most. I can honestly say in 20 years of driving, I've never used other people's bumpers to guage the size of a parking space......grrrr.

If anyone happened to see someone bump into an otherwise immaculate silver SLK over the bank holiday weekend in the North Cross Road area, and if you happended to take down the details of the offending car, please could you pm me? My (ten year old) little car is my pride and joy and now has about 30% of the back bumper scratched beyond any help t-cut can give. Quite upsetting and really unnecessary given how much space there was over the weekend. I really object to people who have no regard for other people's property - just because you don't care about your stuff, doesn't give you the right to ruin other people's. Bumpers aren't there to bump into when you park!!!!

You could try The Palmerston (not sure about numbers, but I've seen a wedding reception in there), or Belair House in Dulwich Village? I assume you mean locally?

Thank you Philosophie - some genuine treasures in your list! I have to say that we went to The Dog twice over Christmas & I was really impressed with the food. The staff were very friendly and considering we were with two dogs and various children, they were patient and helpful. I'm a fan of Si Mangia and the Palmerston; Great Exhibition is a bit hit and miss, Sema (Lux) Thai are consistently good & it's hard to beat the sunday roast at my gaff! Definitely have a soft spot for the halloumi sticks at The Victoria......

Marvellous, thank you Michael, will be brave! Plan to change onto DLR at Shadwell. Can't bare the P12 or 381 any longer with their crazy twisty routes! Will miss the Hilton Ferry over the river though.

Please excuse my silly question - I avoid the tube due to dreadful claustrophobia & I would like to use the ELL but am concerned about the bit where it must go under the Thames. Can anyone tell me if it's remotely like being on the tube? I would like to try it out tomorrow as an alternative route to work, but it's not a good look to turn up pale and shaking.....

Saw a mum with her child have to step into the road to avoid the bottles this morning as they are now arranged to cover the full width of the pavement - this is obviously a hazard on a part of the road that is a bit of a blind corner anyway. Joking apart, can anything be done to stop this littering?
