Perhaps we could hijack the M&S/Iceland thread and suggest that the site be used as a new public library at the very heart of East Dulwich? Well, you can dream....

Southwark libraries got off lightly compared to some local authorities: http://www.publiclibrariesnews.com/about-public-libraries-news/information. Can't imagine that Dulwich is in any danger of closing. It's just not at the front of the queue for any of the available ???s.

There was a review of library services last year; you can read more about it here: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200062/libraries/2218/southwark_libraries_review/1. On the positive side, no libraries have been closed and there has been investment in new shiny whizzy libraries (John Harvard and Canada Water). There are also plans for a new library at Grove Vale. Evening & Sunday opening hours at the larger libraries have also been maintained. However if you don't live near one of the new shiny libraries I can see why you might feel short-changed. Agree with you about Dulwich Library. Lovely on the outside, dismal and damp-smelling on the inside. Unwelcoming enquiry desk with no signage. Half of the fiction selection is always on trolleys awaiting shelving. Ebooks will come, I'm sure. It's just a question of when...

I've used Forest Hill Cars a couple of times for airport trips. Would recommend them. Airport transfers On the return trip when time isn't an issue I would get the DLR to Lewisham and then the bus back to ED.

Just had this message from London Buses: "I am writing to let you know that from 0800 on Sunday 20 May until the evening of Friday 1 June, Bellenden Road will be closed due to further water mains replacement works being carried out on behalf of Thames Water. Route P13 will be diverted in both directions via East Dulwich Road, Peckham Rye and Rye Lane and will be unable to serve Pytchley Road, Avondale Rise, Bellenden Road, Chadwick Road and Blenheim Grove. The route will continue to serve East Dulwich Station and East Dulwich Sainsbury?s. Buses will serve all stops on diversion if requested to do so."

Travel. Airports are hellish and flying is boring. I'd rather stay at home. -
The 40 is great if you want the Bishopsgate/Spitalfields side of Liverpool Street. Get off at St Botolph Street and then it's a short stroll up Middlesex Street. Map

In the old-skool Delia book there's a dead easy recipe for a sauce involving just cherry jam and red wine. Tasty.

Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

Organisations referring to their 'resource' instead of 'resources'. -
Freemasons' Hall, the Bank of England and Lloyd's are amongst my favourites. You don't have to pre-book for any of these. If you want to avoid the crowds, have a mooch around some of the City of London churches. There's a fab Henry Moore altar at St Stephen Walbrook.

I must be the exception to 'most people' then - I really like reading on the Kindle. I like reading books too. You can have both, you know!
