Robert Poste's Child

PS: I appreciate it's frustrating when your car's stuck in traffic but please do think about air quality for all the children going to school who can't get away from that all day. Also for local residents - I know people on this forum tend to assume that everyone in the village is affluent but Dekker Road and some of the bottom end of Calton Ave are owned by the Dulwich Estate and there are some residents who may not have the means or mobility to avoid the situation.

End of Feb according to the notice put through my door. I asked James Barber if he could do anything to influence this on his thread a few weeks ago but as he's clearly been dealing with family matters recently haven't followed up with him. I cycle through this already busy and aggressive junction every day and now rush hour has returned it's pretty frightening. It seems that more cyclists are jumping the lights or using the pavement, not in an aggressive way but presumably out of concerns for safety. It must also be unpleasant for parents taking children to the schools and for the school on the corner to have this going on beside them until the middle of next term. I fear it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. The inevitable chorus of car horns all the way up Court Lane isn't helping, either.

I'm sitting on my hands, Sue.

This one has potential I feel (unless you're a squirrel). http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1859455

ianr, admire your thinking. You'd have to think a fair amount of drink had been taken. If either of them was sober they'd have made something out of a coat hanger and a suitable kitchen utensil in the fine Blue Peter tradition that made this country great. Mind you, if she was sober she probably wouldn't have thrown it out of the window in the first place.

Remember the post last year suggesting they were carrying out animal sacrifices?

According to the Mail Online, Hetty Douglas's father's a builder so perhaps this isn't completely as it appears?

You don't have to tip if it's the proprietor who does your hair. The best advice I've had on tipping generally is to tip if you plan to go back.

My neighbour takes his bike out through our noisy, shared security gate at about 6.30. It goes plink plink plink plink plink CLUNK (if he gets the code right first time), CRASH the gate into the brickwork feet from my bed, then CLANG as he slams it shut again. Also binmen at crack of dawn on a Monday. Followed ten minutes later by the other binmen.

I'd like to add my sympathy. Losing a parent is one of life's big milestones, whatever age you are.

Airports always sting you so planning in advance is a good idea. Moneysupermarket has a good tool you can use to find the best deal. At the moment a Halifax Clarity card seems to be top, including for cash withdrawals. Or get a FairFX or other pre-loadable card and then you can load up when the rate's more favourable.

How about the one up near the library, can't remember the name, sorry.

Apology accepted.

I had to replace my front doormat as no matter what I tried the fox kept coming back and doing it in the same place. This weekend seems to have been particularly bad for dog mess. On Saturday Dulwich Woods were everyone seemed to be walking with their heads down to avoid treading in it. Yesterday and today I wanted to sit and read in Dulwich Park and finding a spot with no family group and no poo was tricky.

If they're travelling in the South-East, they could get a Network Railcard which gives 4 adults (ie 16+) a third off, splitting the cost of the railcard between them. The SE network includes the I. of Wight Ferry. If going beyond the SE they could get Young Person's Railcards. They'd need one each but there are discount codes of 10-20% on the internet if you look around or if they already have a student card. Another idea is if they haven't chosen a destination they might be able to find cheap ideas on train websites. For example, last week Greater Anglia was offering ?7 to Cambridge, and Virgin had another of its sales on recently.

Is Dulwich Hamlet an identifiable place that's distinct from DV? Apart from the school and the football team, right now I can't think of anything you'd identify as 'hamlet'. Apparently the football club originally played in Woodwarde Road and then somewhere in the village so perhaps they're the same thing? Odd if so as the chapel must pre-date the football team by at least two centuries.
