Water pressure seems back to normal here - Underhill just up the hill from intersection with Dunstans

Very little water here this morning on Underhill, pressure is really weak. Fortunately working from home today so can dispense with shower if necessary. And have plenty of mineral water.

We have lots of lovely green space round here - not just PRP, Dulwich Park, Dulwich Woods, Sydenham Wells Park, Crystal Palace Park, Brenchley Gardens, Horniman Gardens, One Tree Hill, all the cemeteries... Using the Green Chain to put some of them together into a nice walk is a great way to spend an afternoon.

I love the French Cafe on Forest Hill Rd, friendly staff, cosy feel and good food. I got there to eat more often than all the other places in East Dulwich put together. I also like the fact they are dog friendly - I don't have a dog, but if my lifestyle didn't prevent I would love to, so I enjoy seeing other people's. I think the people that took the Rose and turned it into the Watson General Telegraph did a fab job, so nice to have a decent pub nearby without having to always walk down to Lordship Lane. Food is good in there too. I love Roullier White - phenomenally good selection of niche perfumes. I rarely bother going to the likes of Liberty or Selfridges now. Staff always super friendly in there too. The Picturehouse is a lovely treat of a cinema, and the fact it's cheap on my day off is a definite bonus - whiled away a soggy evening watching Fantastic Beasts tonight. I could go on. I just really like living here.

These days I tend to close the door saying not interested and don't give them a chance to get a word in edgewise. When I was growing up we had a family living next door (who despite their religion were actually nice people), but we did seem to get more of their fellow witnesses knocking on the door then despite us being Catholic (long since lapsed). I can recall us hiding and pretending not to be in most of the time to avoid being overtly rude given their connection with our neighbours. However, I can recall choosing to debate with them sometimes and they generally got frustrated and went away as I knew enough about what they believed to be able to be somewhat annoying. Blood transfusions was a good one - aside of the glaringly obvious fact that the people writing the bible couldn't have said "no blood transfusions" as they wouldn't have known what they were, the verses they relied upon seemed to be clearly about the practice of eating kosher meat which they don't follow.

Would love to try some of these but needs to be a weekend - any chance of more weekend options in the future?

Do you need to audition or is it open to all, and do you need to be able to read music?

As chain restaurants go, I think Cote are pretty good, great friendly service and I have always had nice meals there. Like the fact they automatically bring you a bottle of tap water rather than offering you still or sparkling and making you ask for tap and looking grumpy when you do or only bringing a thimble sized glass of water. I think they got into trouble for not giving the service charge to staff at one point but were shamed into addressing that.

I love the interior of Le Chardon and the food was fine, but the service left a lot to be desired. They were even stroppy with me once when I was trying to get the bill - insisted I'd already paid. You would have thought they would have been grateful that I didn't just leave without paying with the way they spoke to me, but I swear they were more cross I insisted on paying.

My problem was fixed by topping up boiler. Somewhat ashamed after over fifteen years of home ownership I didn't know this was something one needed to do - must have had my boilers serviced often enough they didn't get low enough on water for this to be an issue before. Probably just a coincidence it happened same time as the local water leaks.

Steve fixed my washing machine today, had the necessary part despite the machine being well over ten years old and the company not making machines anymore. Was also to give good advice about which brand to buy as and when my machine does properly give up the ghost. Highly recommended.

Hot water. Not been cold enough to put the central heating on.

Hello, is anyone else in the area still having water pressure issues? My boiler has been shutting down due to low pressure and wondering if it might be related or if it's something specific to my house the radiators needing to be bleed

What kind of music do you sing?

If one like that replaced the Co-op it would be more competition for M&S than the current co-op.

I have used the Green Team many times and been pleased with their service - call on 07946 728879 or you can PM her - she posts here as clairen

It's not as bad as the trains into London bridge but it's bad enough I use the 63 to go all the way to work a lot of the time. However, I live a mile and half from the station and get on the 63 or 363 to get to the station anyway, and so I resent getting off the bus to get on a crowded train which could then be delayed. I would feel different if I was a short walk to the station. If you have to be in for 10 it shouldn't be too bad as there's a few different ones not long after 9 and you'd often get a seat that time of morning too. The ones before 9 are overcrowded.

Hi Susanna, sorry to hear you have been having such a hard time. Lots of good advice already given, just wanted to add a couple more suggestions:- - The headspace mindfulness app is really good and you can get the first 10 sessions free on the app to decide if you like it enough to buy more. - St John's Wort is one herbal option you might consider - Mind have a section about it on their website http://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/drugs-and-treatments/st-johns-wort/#.V5HEL7iAOko I took it years ago during a bout of anxiety as an alternative to taking prescription medication, with my doctor's knowledge, and they were happy for me to do that. I did try a prescription drug when I had a different spell of anxiety without any obvious side effects, but it was no better than the St John's wort at dealing with the symptoms, so if I ever need something again I will probably go for the herbal option.

There's a small sandy beach at Leigh on sea which is a bit closer to London than Southend. Southend isn't all mud, just that the tide goes out a long way and that reveals a lot of mud - it's why the pier is so long I believe - had to make it long to have enough depth of water at the end for pleasure boats to be able to drop off there. I wouldn't go to Southend there via Blackwall tunnel. I usually go on the south circular to the A2, then onto M25 round to the Dartford tunnel and then take the A13, cut across to the A127 shortly after the flyover at Pitsea. If it's Leigh you want (much smaller but some nice old pubs on the front) then you stay on the A13 all the way. However, if I really wanted a big sandy beach, I would drive further and go to Broadstairs or Camber Sands. Former better if you want more nearby facilities like cafes etc. Southend isn't as scruffy as it used to be when I was a kid (I went to school down the road in Westcliff) but it's not got a lot of charm.

I would be surprised if Kings didn't recognise cellulitis, I had it treated there some years ago after some nasty insect bites got infected and the antibiotics the out of hours doctor gave me weren't strong enough. If it's cellulitis the flesh will feel very hot to the touch. I also found (having got it in my calf) that it reduced my flexibility too - couldn't move the way I usually could.

I had similar negative experiences of Rick aka Daniel (not Rickplumb247) last summer. Did a shocking job on my house, charged a fortune, had to get someone else to fix and though he promised to refund he never did. He even phoned me to ask if I had put a negative review on the forum and complain about it - I hadn't, but I should have done, was nervous of doing so given he knew where I lived. Oh and he does push aggressively for positive reviews too. The disaster job was after a small job he did ok (although with hindsight charged an unreasonably high amount for - the next plumber I used would have charged me no more than half of what I paid him), and that time he phoned me minutes after he left the house to tell me exactly where his recommendation thread was so I could go online and review immediately. Avoid at all costs, you'd have less stress taking your money straight out of the cashpoint and setting fire to it, at least your plumbing problems wouldn't be made any worse by that.
