I have just seen that the pool has been closed temporarily 'due to an imbalance in PH levels'.

I asked at the desk for the manager and the girl went into the office and this guy came out and said he was the manager. Incidentally, he was the person who put the mats in the pool. He obviously thought there was no problem in what he did. In the past I've seen the attendants using a bucket to scoop water from the pool to clean the surrounding area, so it seems to be acceptable to contaminate the pool.

I intend to if I can find a link on the website to make a complaint. The guy shouldn't be a manager with his attitude!

Just back from a swim at Dulwich Leisure Centre. Whilst in the pool, we saw the lobby outside the family changing room being washed, The person doing the cleaning then washed the mats taken from the family changing room and then put them in the pool, laying them on the steps!!!. Not only was this dangerous - they were laid on the top step in such a way that they overlapped the step - when we got out there was a load of grit on the top step where they were taken out. When we got changed, I asked at the desk to speak to the manager. Guess who it was??? The guy who had been doing the cleaning!!!! I said I was actually complaining about what he had done with the mats ie, dumping them in the pool. His response - 'Did I dump them too aggressively for you?' When I said I thought it was unhygienic to put the mats in the pool , his response was that he had actually cleaned them, but had put them in the pool to remove the residual cleaning fluid!!!!! I don't know what's worse - having cleaning fluid dumped in the pool or the dirt! He also asked how I knew the dirt in the pool was from the mats??? Wonderful customer service! I won't be going back in a hurry!

Natalie at Kuki is great too!

there's been no update on the app

If you book on line, it will tell you if it is a lane swim/ family swim/ mens/ladies session. If you book in person or by phone, you should ask for lane swim/ family swim etc. I have never seen babies / children in the lane sessions I have attended and I'm sure the lifeguards / other attendees would notice and raise it.

Our GP says he can't send us for tests yet.

Some clubs have a system for season ticket holders to put their seat up for resale if they can't use it for a particular match, so it might be worth ringing the ticket office to see if any are available for the match you want to go to

Got ours and voted last week

I know its a bit far for most on here (we stayed with them when we moved), but we are with Camberwell Green Surgery. In the past it has been pretty awful, but this morning I phoned at 8am to request a face to face appt. I was gobsmacked to be offered an appt later in the morning and given a choice of 2 doctors!

Anyone know of charities that will take duvets?

Has anyone looked at their voting papers for the Mayoral election? Seems you can't vote if you were born after 1999!

Buses are now running in/out of Sainsburys.

I have messaged TFL, but not had a response as yet!

The P13 bus is on diversion due to a new bus stop being erected in Sainsburys DKH. There are no notices on affected bus stops and no announcements on the buses. Diversion is - from Peckham, the bus turns left from Pytchley Road on to DKH, so not a big issue. But going towards Peckham, the bus seems to be diverting via Goose Green/ Peckham Rye because it can't turn right into Pytchley Rd. There is nothing on TFL website, so don't know how long this will be. Incidentally, the 42 bus is still running into Sainsburys!

I've seen jigsaws in most local charity shops . The Sense charity shop in Rye Lane has puzzles in their window and Alex TLC in Peckham Road would take them.

Have you tried AlexTLC in Peckham? They collect. Phone 020 77014388

The last time I dropped some donations in, they had a fridge full of food from Harrods!

The Community Fridge is also open on Weds to receive food donations, but not for people to pick up food.

According to their web site, Peckham Pulse has a sauna and a steam room

The P13 is on diversion between Sainsburys DKH to Peckham in one direction only. Its going via Peckham Rye. I think due to work on the road over the railway on Avondale Rise.
