intexasatthe moment

I know some fellow attendees live Peckham /Nunhead / East Dulwich . I didn't make it ,self conscious about my hair ! ,but would be great to catch up over coffee at a local emporium some time . PM me if you fancy .

liliol you have all my sympathy . We've had this happen to us as well and it's distressing and very difficult to get help. I can't help thinking it would be helpful if Southwark were to publish guidelines as to what to do in this situation . Or if they do perhaps we could be directed to them .

Stoning a bit extreme Huggers ,perhaps just a letter of complaint to bus company ?

Have PM'd you Mens .

Why do people ( yes you at midday today ) think that activating hazard warning lights is the same thing as displaying a Blue disabled badge ? I'm sure Southwark will love me doing their parking enforcement for them by forwarding them a picture .

They'll just argue that they havent buggered anything up ,the lime trees will come back ,that the camberwell cemetry work is scheduled on some spreadsheet in the sky to be done now . And they wont use as many words but the text is " like it or lump it "

Absolutely right fl0wer ,it's to get the work done more cheaply , presumably same reason for pollarding trees in full leaf last August as no other reason makes sense . No doubt if Southwark thought things through they could save even more money by adopting the approach you suggest . An approach which would have multiple benefits . But I'm not holding my breath .

" Officers and their contractors have stated the 12 trees are diseased " - yeah right ,lets hope their professional judgement has improved on that used to decide that lime trees be pollarded in August putting the trees under unnecessary stress and devastating all the insects etc dependent on the foliage . And as for the visual effect etc that we mere inhabitants of the borough might enjoy - well who cares ?

Ta very much guys .

not specific enough I'm afraid woodrot ,could be anywhere in HML from that description .

This is going to sound really stupid but for the life of me I cant figure out where in HML this is ? can someone put me out of my misery ?

Ginger capsules from holland and barret . Chewy gin gin sweets from h and b or health matters . dry oatcakes ,marmite rice cakes sherbty sweets like fruit mentos ,dolly mixtures . good luck and huge sympathy

Not JKW - looks like bindweed . http://apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/Profile.aspx?pid=241

Was there some drumming last night ? Or was I dreaming ?

Jane 1 - these are good http://www.essentialaids.com/swedish-trolley.html. and generally supplied free on assessment . http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200389/staying_independent_at_home/2391/equipment_to_help_you/1

Other options I know of are Oxfam book shop at Herne Hill ,there are 20 min parking spaces very close and same side of road .It's opposite Half Moon pub in Half Moon Lane . Or I use charity shop in Peckham ,it's on Peckham high St ,just before junction with Peckham Hill st on left hand side if driving east from Camberwell Green towards New Cross . Just after Peckham Square and before bus garage . There is a car parking spaces immediately outside ,but it's only free parking during the morning

Jane1 - Wiltshire farm foods also supply Apetito ,I think their frozen range is slightly superior . My mum gets the MOW version ,I wouldn't say they are as bad as you describe . You do need to be careful what you select ,you're right chips don't respond to being kept warm in the van and dont arrive in good condition . If meals are arriving dried up it's probably because the edge of the film has been lifted up ( I sometimes suspect this is because the delivery lady has started peeling the film off ready to give to someone on the round but found them not in ,but thats just a guess ) and you need to complain about this . Apetito's number is 0207 639 8722 . My mother was asessed by Southwark and deemed in need of MOW so she pays a subsidised rate ,it's half what you pay if not subsidised . The number is 020 7525 3324 http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200407/my_support_choices/2370/contact_southwark_adult_social_care They do an initial telephone screening with the elderly person ,they couldn't care less if that person has trouble hearing or holding the phone ,or whether the person answers questions like " Do you have trouble getting shopping " with a literal " No " . Though of course if the next question were to be " So how do you grt your shopping ? " the answer would be " My daughter gets it " They have a whole list of unexplained questions like " Do you keep money in the house ? " All conducted in a robotic voice obviously reading from a script . No human interaction like you can get in hospitals where they preface exercises like this with a sympathetic " I'm afraid there a lot of questions and some of them might seem odd " ,but then thats face to face . Good luck ,I'd persevere with Apetito ,just be careful not order meals with chips or omlettes . I've never known the food to be cold . Bland ,but not cold .

Have PM'd you bint .

Clare11 IME people who use the expression "get over it " are not people who readily see another's point of view . And I feel that good manners are all about taking another persons point of view into consideration .

Paignton ,Torquay ,Dartmouth ,. Latter probably favourite IMO . Dartmouth is good for pottering around ,has a market ,good river cruises ,fish and chips etc .

yup ,that's what reading the links in the two previous posts explains .

Vicki "They have been going around for months now they normally start out around 6am they took my cooker that I put out did me a favour did not have to go to the tip myself " Southwark operate fantastic free service for collecting bulky items http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200084/recycling_and_waste/1667/bulky_waste_collection/1

Good points Saffron . Of course we ( or I ) haven't actually heard anything from the council about the reason for this pollarding at this time .

Good point bookstamper .
