Thanks!

My old, expensive armchair rests on a metal 5 leg piece but one of the legs has broken off. Is there someone/somewhere people recommend for that type of welding repair? The leg piece comes off and I can bring it to where needed. Thanks Z

Thanks, folks - yes the woods are looking great and not muddy at all. Now if only they would put a proper pedestrian crossing at the A205/Lordship crossing.

Hi - we are thinking of going for an afternoon walk through the wood - but how wet is it at the moment? Has it dried up? Z

As a walker and a cyclist - it is not true that 90% of cyclists skip lights. There are junctions where it is more common but the majority do not skip lights. It does seem you cannot win as a cyclist - when cycling with my son on the road you get drivers honking at you to get off the road, if you get on the pavement then drivers shout "wankers" at you. More kindness would go a long way on all sides. These (LTNs) are government policies, at a time when pollution is high/we are realising the damage it does, the need to reduce CO2 levels, and during a period of time when we are switching to electric and then self-driving (and possibly fewer) personal vehicles. Are we going to have 20-30 years of these conversations, or are we going to start to realise that we are complaining about the tide going out?

Hi, I frequently cycle and walk on the Greendale cycle path in the evening and have noticed a big increase in the number of police cars and vans looking for people and dealing with incidents. Does someone know the backstory to this? I am wondering if it is safe at nighttime now. Thanks Z

Repost from Harriet Harman on Twitter: Help find Petra Srncova, aged 32. She?s not been seen since 28th Nov. She?s a nursing assistant in @EvelinaLondon Children?s Hospital. Anyone who has seen her or has information pls call police on 101 quoting ref 21MIS037753 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Link to tweet and pic:

Yes and imagine how bad it would be if there were no LTNs - people are afraid to get on public transport, prefer cars and we would be in an even worse scenario without LTNs. We are in a pandemic and sometimes people's choices (solo travel by car) will be to the detriment of the many. However, the car registrations could be an ULEZ phenomenon also? Are people buying new cars for that, and are yet to sell their old cars? ULEZ versus another dense area of the SE without ULEZ would be interesting to look at. Z.

The hot air for the winter is probably quite useful for weather like today also....

Thanks - the issue is that we have lots of furniture. Green dale parking would be great but is fully occupied on the 5 or 6 times I have checked. Yes, there are bays further down East Dulwich grove. However, our moving company would like to park closer. Otherwise, we will have to pay more, which is looking likely, I suppose! Siousxiesue - yes good idea, I will contact the local councilor. Thanks.

Hello We are moving to Steen Way (where Green Dale/East Dulwich Grove meet) in late June. We need to park a moving truck and move wardrobes. The council tell me there are no bays that could be suspended and there are bollards at either end of the pedestrianised street/lane. Some of the bollards look as if they are removable but I cannot find who to ask. Can anyone who has moved in or out of there recently give us advice? Or do we just face a difficult move? (We have a lot of furniture.) Thanks Z

Afraid so. Going cashless is the future (i.e. visit Stockholm) and all smartphones have the capability to be used like cards also. If they were burgled/robbed then you have to understand. I am surprised to read the negativity in the comments and "I seldom carry credit cards at all and NEVER at night." is true to form for DulwichFox (i.e is not true and is to provoke).

Isn't the best solution to this, for now, to turn the coffee shop back into an entrance? I know it is close to the main ticket office but I am guessing the passage from the coffee shop entrance to the ticket office could be blocked so as to force foot traffic to go in both directions? Z

A friend who is visiting was just about to leave (at 6pm) but then told us they had left their car in the carpark at Dulwich Park. The front gates are locked now. Is there any number to call to get someone to unlock the gate to rescue their car? (We have looked online but all the numbers ring out.) Best Z
