  1. To cheer ourselves up ,one of no doubt many parodies kindly shared with me by a friend
  2. Sorry but I think Southwarks advice to leave it on the pavement is misguided .What's the rationale behind it I wonder ? It's attracting more rubbish and escalating the problem for no reason .They must have your location from your complaint so it's clearly not to aid identification .
  3. Some pics here https://www.architecture.com/image-library/RIBApix/gallery-product/poster/holdrons-department-store-and-arcade-rye-lane-peckham-london-the-glass-concrete-roof/posterid/RIBA24510.html https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2014/02/07/art-in-peckhams-old-holdrons-department-store/
  4. Very frustrating ! But please could you move it off the pavement and back on to your property ? Might cut down on depositors of fly tipping kind ? Green bins contanimated with non household/green type bin stuff are a bit of a no go I think for collection . Why is it attracting vermin ? Is there food in there ?
  5. When I cycled I found the Court Lane Eynella Rd raised junction very slippery in frosty weather . Might have been just me ,but be careful if you're nipping through the park .
  6. can people please stop washing their cars on the street - little chance I suspect . As there is for not washing on their forecourt with the water running over the pavement and freezing into a nice hazardous slick . I'm all for a nice protective patina of grime on one's car .
  7. Yes ,I agree ,You're very kind Catherine .I'm afraid my first reaction was to be cynical and think the guy was spinning you a sob story .I suppose I just hoped he was ,The truth being sadder to accept . Really good on you .
  8. Annie I've got one like this http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5415078 for my Freeview TV and it's fine . You need to plug it into the mains .
  9. Oh no ,no ,no that's hours already I've spent looking at these . Just finished looking at the Peckham Rye Estate and comparing the pics to google earth .How the trees have grown . How the post box has been replaced by a newer one .How little the blocks have changed .Though I wonder why the fencing was changed for the metal "stretcher " type . Off to look at Bellenden Rd /Choumert Rd junction now .May never have time for cooking again .
  10. Oh for heavens sake ,can't people cut up their Christmas trees and put them in a brown bin or paper garden sack available from the library . Or are we all such babies that we need Southwark running around cleaning up after us ?
  11. Morrisons in Peckham have a collection box for old cards .
  12. "There is a perfectly good sub post office in the big convenience store next to Badger's Bakery, opposite Dulwich Library." Not any more .
  13. maybe ultraburner knows something that the website doesn't ? worth a phone call tomorrow ? Though might be a sign from above that you are not to carry out work on Monday ?
  14. I have had nothing but excellent customer service from Lidl's - the Peckham one . The staff are friendly,helpful and efficient . What examples are there of poor customer service there ?
  15. That's interesting JohnL ,thanks . I like to be familar with the RULES. Even though that doesn't affect whether they'll be followed . Sue ,I think the red request stops are on the way out .I'm sure there's none from the top of Barry Rd down to the bottom of Rye Lane .
  16. I wonder if it's just the stops serving the 12/197 that have lost the red sign and request lettering ?
  17. That's what I've learnt to do nxjen. I just feel we. should. have. been. told!
  18. As far as I can see there aren't any request stops now . Have a look a let me know if you agree .
  19. So if you're at a bus stop do you always have to stick your arm out to get the bus to stop ? I stupidly forgot the other day ( old habits ) and watched unhappily as the bus sailed past . Any bus drivers care to enlighten me ?
  20. I'm inclined to agree with nxjen .Maybe Christmas and lack of money = desperate to earn but no idea how to go about it .
  21. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/63/f4/66/63f46611a951991a8ad91bb69ebe2868.jpg bring back the horse trough ?
  22. Useful info here https://www.trusselltrust.org/get-involved/ways-to-give/donate-food/
  23. I'd go for beach diluted in hot water .Might make the paving stones a little lighter but no more than much elbow grease and scrubbing would . I'm not very up on the horrors of bleach from an eco point of view but possibly use white vinegar if this is a concern .
