It's inside the chemist opposite Dulwich Hamlet School.

If a parent is lucky enough to secure a reception place for their child in a Southwark school that's great and they shouldn't flout the rules.

All looks very chic but hope ED can cope with the additional car parking for the train station.

It does seem like you got your tuppence worth in though Rendel!

Charming Rendel, exclaiming that RPC is being tiresome and a bit confused about a word! Surely they are entitled to their opinion. Then again, you do love taking over a lot of threads with tiresome descriptive words etc. etc.

Don't think it's acceptable at all (booking holidays in term time) but that's just my opinion and it's great that Southwark are now cracking down on it.

They could park for instance in the North Dulwich CPZ before 12 noon or after 2pm for free. Between any hours the CPZ is in effect then there are plenty of pay-points in the area.

I seem to remember somebody posting a thread on here this afternoon about the haircut they had received from a well known hairdressers in ED. Quite a long post with somebody else commenting. It now seems to have disappeared? There's so many people posting multiple threads and titles in CAPITALS across the forum which according to the rules should be taken down so just wondering if anybody else saw this thread?

Oh dear, will have to pop in soon to have a look. Didn't Sainsburys close down the normal check-outs for self check-outs a few years ago?

I've sent you a pm.

I will reiterate again > though it is a great school! Not sure if things have changed as my child is now 19 and attended DHJS for the last few years of primary education. Not every child played an instrument and she certainly had a lot of homework.

How could a secondary school 'cull'?

Not really. My bins are due to be collected tomorrow. If they're not, I would understand why.

Really?

Sorry you had a fall Diescu and hope you're ok. I would think that the train stations don't have enough staff to grit the stations and this is certainly the case all over Southwark at the moment. I remember the salt banks dotted around Southwark years ago but they seem to have disappeared. Hopefully it won't be too bad tomorrow!

Just realised that the OP asked this question nearly 5 years ago but was active on the forum last year, 2017? Please let us know how you got on bubblebob?

Sazzle30 - could you not contact your insurance provider for an answer to your question? Could you let us know what the answer is as you've raised a valid question.

Like Sue, I had some kind of questionnaire from the Mayor of London at least a month or so ago put through my letterbox about cleaner air but for one reason or the other I put it in my recycling bin! As usual, rendelharris seems to know better, but oh yes, he's a cyclist!

I spoon fed my three but looking back there was probably some baby led weaning as well. Gave them lumps of cheese, cucumber, breadsticks, bananas to chomp on from 6 months but didn't chance things like lumps of apple, carrot, meat etc as was worried about the choking hazard. Also from a digestion point of view too for a baby/toddler it could cause problems at the other end!
