super spreaders are people who shed more of the virus than others ,they're not people who have more contact than others .

I wish the Gov would do more re containmemt .So far this seems to have concentrated on quarantining 2 groups back from Wuhan and one from the Diamond Princess .And contact tracing . I wish they would take steps to stop large groups of people gathering - Crufts ,Cheltenham . Is it just me ?

or in the KCH group .Who knows .

which is a shame but not unexpected

Have the boys from Dulwich Prep who were tested for corona been found to be clear ?

I guess they are thinking outside the box - that's allowed isn't it ? Couldn't Dulwich College and the Estate do the decent thing and use some of the land bordering College Rd on the West to widen the road ,maybe make a turning point on the northern side of the entrance to Pond Cottages .Then the coaches can park there .

Sue I have one of those adjustable back rest jobbies that TE44 posted .You're welcome to borrow it to see if it suits . I have to sleep sitting up and use lots of pillows with one of these either side https://www.amazon.co.uk/Medipaq-Half-Memory-Cushion-Pillow/dp/B00GUINTC2/ref=pd_sbs_201_img_0/258-3032200-2664623?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00GUINTC2&pd_rd_r=6a444c7c-cee1-44d0-875c-56577b086041&pd_rd_w=jF1Lp&pd_rd_wg=ubHUd&pf_rd_p=e44592b5-e56d-44c2-a4f9-dbdc09b29395&pf_rd_r=7ARSYXDMMXGMVBR6P8DF&psc=1&refRID=7ARSYXDMMXGMVBR6P8DF they are the business ,just the right density . A lot of people fold a duvet into four .

Woodwarde thank you for that . I'm embarassed to say that I haven't looked at all the documentation on line ,I find maps hard to read .Is there a proposal to restrict motor traffic on Eynella ?

I'm wondering about red's PM and what it contained that couldn't be shared with us all .Sorry ,slow day .

Oh I'm sorry to hear that ,they put so much work and effort into it .The owners must be gutted .

Thank you all for your helpful posts .I used a couple of comparison sites and now have a new policy and a saving of ?100s !

It's not just one pair of crutches though - it's all crutches and loads of other stuff ,heavy duty chiropody clippers are another single use item I have come across .

I'm sure it's not adequate to meet needs but that's not a reason for money to be diverted from cash strapped local authorities .

worldwiser - I'm aware that pupils in a school built next to a main road in London will be breathing in polluted air . The question in my mind is why cash strapped Southwark is handing over ?17,000 when it appears that funding for capital spending on improvement is available from Central Government .

I'd like to know what the criteria is for CGS funding . It all seems bonkers to me - presumably the mural is providing a "cleaner " vision of the wall ? Couldn't they just have increased the provision of cloth bags* ? We could put them over our heads, instantly removing all visual clutter and simultaneously filtering air pollution. In fact as we'd no longer be able to see anything and would be stranded at home this would reduce demand for consumer tat and traffic movement plus help the NHS by cutting demand for beds as we quietly fade away at home . I suppose the ED Harris Academy gets ?17,000 for air purification works because they have professional advice at their fingertips and were on the ball when it came to applying . It seems odd to me that Southwark gives money from a heavily slashed and constrained budget to a school funded by central government and having other central government revenue sources (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-capital-funding ) available for this type of thing . * I'll leave it to someone else to say "what cloth bags ? " . Oh ,whoops I haven't .

Thanks Ilona . Aah those spontaneous pie needs are the devil aren't they ? yo saturnalia .

Oh that sounds lovely Ilona .Any tips on how to handle the spinach so that it's not too wet ?

"You say you wouldn't got to Small Claims - what would you do?" Actually I said I wouldn't rush to small claims .If it were me I'd gather as much info and get as much advice as possible before I decided what to do . I'd post on the forum I mentioned above and take advice from the one Ilona has posted . I would try and determine what the lease says and whether it is silent on the issue .I would find out why the ground level is above the air vents ,how that has come about ,whether any party is responsible for the ground level now being above the air vents . I might decide not to go to a small claims court ,I might decide to investigate the right to manage or buying the freehold .Or keeping the air vents clear if that's a possible alternative .

I like https://forums.landlordzone.co.uk/forum/long-leasehold-questions for questions like this. I think leases can be a bit vague . I can imagine that your lease is clear about "the external structure and void below floor joists being the freeholders responsibility" but wonder what the position is about the ground levels and air vents . Whose responsibilty is it to keep/maintain the outside area in good order ? Is it mentioned under tenants or freeholders responsibilty ? I've seen some properties where there is a gulley round the outside of the building so that earth and debris can be kept away from air vents . I'm not sure I'd be rushing to a small claims court .

Lou I find the best chocolate limes are available in Wilko ( Penge,Lewisham ) .Stock up as not always in stock .

Me neither - can someone offer s pointer to a landmark ? Dulwich Hospital for instance ?
