Booked for myself and my husband using 119. Took about 10 mins to book 1st and 2nd appts for both of us. Had vaccinations at Junction Pharmacy in Coldharbour Lane. We were the only people there for vaccinations. Staff lovely, pharmacy spotlessly clean. Whole process took about 15 mins. Well pleased!

I had to go to Camberwell Green this morning. About 11ish, there was no queue to get in the small Lidl and they were well stocked with fresh fruit, veg and salad. No queue to get in the Co-op or Morrisons either. If you don't need much, this is a good option to queuing.

We had a delivery today (Sunday) - from Camberwell Green sorting office - Well done !

Hi Trinidad If you have the same problem in the future, email the PALS office at [email protected]. They will liaise with the clinic directly. Usually works for me.

Hi IANR - thanks for the info. Unfortunately, most of the post boxes in my locality are designated 'priority' and parcel drop boxes, but they all seem to be standard size!

According to the Royal Mail website, because the parcels are 48 hour tracked, I can't take them to a post office! Don't ask me why. Think I will give it a try though.

Does anyone know where the nearest Royal Mail parcel drop box to Ivanhoe Road is located? According to the Royal Mail website, its on the corner of Ivanhoe Rd and Avondale Rise, however, although my parcel is within the size limit of a large letter, the post box is at least 2 inches too small. Does anyone know if any of the local post offices have parcel drop boxes? If not I will have to traipse down to the sorting office at Camberwell Green or arrange pickup at extra cost. Thanks

Our post comes from Camberwell sorting office and is usually pretty good. However, yesterday our postie (who is a diamond) told us that as they are short staffed, they have been told to prioritise parcels and only deliver letters if they have time. So we might be short of Xmas cards this year!

My granddaughter is at Wilmington Girls Grammar. After passing the 11 plus for her area, there was no entrance exam, the main criteria for entry was distance. Parents also had to provide proof that they lived in the school catchment area. She lives about 1/4 mile from the school and only just got in.

My granddaughter is in her 2nd year at a grammar school in Kent. Her parents had to provide proof that they had lived in their house (in Kent) for at least 2 years prior to application, so I don't think you stand much chance of acceptance even if you move now.

I have 2 relatives who are detectives and they have been attending trials at the Old Bailey since just after the first lockdown ended

No you don't. If an inspector gets on, they can check your card on their machine.

Hi Just tap in your contactless card when you get on the bus. You only need to tap in and out if you travel on the Tube or National Rail. The fare will show on your account at the end of the day.

Its not always possible for a child to go to school within walking distance of home. My grand daughter was turned down for all the primary schools close to her home. If her parents hadn't been able to drive her to the school she was eventually allocated, it would have meant a two bus journey of nearly an hour each way.

P13 still on diversion. No work being done on the site this morning and temp traffic lights been turned off since yesterday

ALD Life in Peckham takes electricals. They might collect from you

P13 is diverted via Peckham Rye between Sainsburys and Peckham bus garage in both directions

Just looked on my account and 10x 1 day permits are still ?26.90. Also, if your road only has 2 hours controlled parking, you can buy 10 x 1 hour permits for ?10.80.

Hi Cora Even if their 11-15 Oyster card is loaded with money, nothing will be taken off when they use it on the bus

Hi Last I heard is that no firm decision has been made yet, but it looks like 11-15 year olds will have to pay after October half term.

My understanding is that only GP requested blood tests are done at Dulwich.

I had a blood test there last week

We get our post from Camberwell sorting office. When our regular postie is on, we have no problems. But if he is off, as he has been this week, we're lucky to get post once or twice a week at most.

Thanks I had another word with Ald Life in Peckham and they agreed to collect from me next week as I have quite a lot and I donate to them regularly. But they said that they have had to close one of their shops to use for storage
