Think the risk of miscarriage is very low ,personally I felt that I had to know if my child was to be Downs and was prepared to take this risk. Kings has so much experience in this area and this did give me confidence . I had CVS ( older mother ,high risk ) didn't find it all uncomfortable .

Newsagent /confectioners opposite locksmiths /farmers in Lordship Lane worth a try.

Hi - don't know if this is possible ,but mediation works on the basis of making a contract ,a deal with both sides gaining something. Could you approach them by suggesting that you realise they must hear noise from you and is there anything in particular that they find irritating that you could tone down ? And then obviously move on to the noise they make ..... I know ,they'll probably shrug their shoulders at your opening gambit . Anyway ,horrible for you - try Southwark Mediation.

Are the health visitors who visit actually health visitors ? Sounds stupid I know ,but asking because of similar experiences in East Dulwich with what I thought were District Nurses calling to elderly people . When I checked I found that most were actually - forget exact term - but something like Health Care Assistants. Formal complaints have improved care ,but sadly not much ,even from qualified nurses. Appreciate busy,understaffed etc but something badly amiss. Where do the Health Visitors come from ? Townley Rd ?

Original route was via Melbourne Grove.

Yes ,I do wish we had access to grit so that we could all do our bit of the pavement . Do think that with all the rain ,that preceeded the burst of snow last night ,that it would have been tricky to grit effectively.

My two pennyworth of advice - make sure that your car is registered to your home address. Easy to forget if you've moved. If you fall foul of a traffic camera - enter congestion zone without realising ,cross that no entry sign at top of Rye Lane - you probably won't even realise that you've incurred a fine . You won't get the reminders which will go to your old address and before you know it one of those automatic readers that logs your license plate will trigger a whole load of grief in outstanding fines,baliffs costs ,car removal.

Hi - just to say that I saw a cyclist come a cropper earlier this morning in Adys Rd . He looked professional ,I wonder if this stretch ( from the school down to Oglander ) suffers from black ice . My boyfriend ,with many years of cycling experience ,also fell victim to ice in this same spot a couple of years ago.

daizie - fibre optic trees in Poundstrecher ,next to Lidls in Peckham. Not many tho.

B&Q ,Old Kent Rd have fibre optic trees. Pound shop in Peckham usually has them - haven't looked this year,tho could tomorrow.

Hi ,could you give details about route ? I've not got copy of Living South and after a quick scroll through thread can only see that it starts in ? near Rosendale / west Dulwich is it ? at 12 and will come to Townley Rd. Want to bring elderly mum and need to work out where to drop her off ,best vantage point . Sorry if I'm being dense and have missed something.

Belle - yes that's how I read Sandy R's post . Tho had to read it twice .

Ok ,signed. Anyone else ?

Ok - just received my parcel posted on 23 Nov. Have also received other items ordered more recently. Post woman said that mail /packets etc that built up due to industrial action were stored all over the place - could be 9 elms ,could be elsewhere. Anyway , ,I'm a happy customer now. Hopefully everyone else will soon receive theirs as well.

Lots on Breakfast Show BBC london this morning about this. 7.20 am and 8.10am for those wishing to listen again when it's available. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_london/?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/london_aod.shtml?london/breakfast

Work seems to be necessary if you don't have the gas meter outside. They had troulble with a property ( large house divided into flats ) in middle of Barry Rd. Were working until 10 .30 pm to sort it ,they had worked until 10 night before. Think they do very best they can not to leave you without gas. Steve T 's horrific experience surely an exception... They did send a letter notifying of work and it had a number to call for more info - I gave mine to my neighbour who hadn't kept his ( it did look like a circular ) ,so afraid can't quote nos to phone.

Well ,for what it's worth ( nothing I expect ! ) yesterday I received 2 packages ,both posted within last 7 days. Still waiting for stuff posted on 23rd Nov.

How about we all PM TJMP as Jamma has done ? Maybe the volume of queries will produce some action .

I'm also waiting for an item sent first class on 23 Nov. Perhaps we can try and guess eachothers identity in the queue at Silvester Rd - I'll wear a stetson.

Why would you leave the engine running ?

There's a couple of comments on this thread http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,377322 about Ofsted and data.

Right - funding for primary school places. I do wonder what impact this current bulge is going to have on demand for secondary school places in 7 years time .

I like your style Bob !

Is this money only for primary schools ?

It does look good ,but I can't quite see what you get. Wonder what the surf the web page is like ?
