aerie

Can anyone advise, please, the best route into Whitehall on Saturday to watch the procession, bearing in mind that we will have a 3yo with us, although she will be on our shoulders when we are watching. Every year we say, this could be the last time, and any thoughts please on how busy it is likely to be, thank you

is he not handsome ? devil's coachman

hello, thanks for mostly helpful comments. This was not a hovering helicopter, we are high up so could see it was looping clockwise around Herne Hill high above KCH and around Nunhead then Overhill Road and arou d we could check its circle over and over. The clatter of a helicopter does not bother me but this was rhythmic and repeated. However the Ovaltine worked and I awoke sweet tempered as usual !

I believe/hope that blah blah meant that the EDF is irrelevant to Wandle and SC. Well We'll see won't we that's fighting talk. Raise the banner. We will not be sidelined. (do we have a banner)??

Is anyone still awake and can say why is there a helicopter circling as though it is on patrol? It is so noisy we closed the windows and can still hear it through curtains and double glazing. Planes do not bother me too much but this is annoying. Up now making ovaltine. sweet dreams y'all

we are Wandle tenants on CPR as in a sudden desperate situation involving immediate surgery which obviously they knew about necessitating offer of small apartment. What we could not grasp was how filthy it was and had to install new toilet!! it was disgusting. The obfuscation, lies, intimidation, lies, promises, lies, harassment, lies, threats! lies, mag describing how wonderful Wandle are and new CEO who is uncontactable! and 'housing officers' with a life experience of a 12 yo and as much tact, we despaired. Do not think you will fare any better. Stay until you are offered something better. Wandle are morally deficient : fasten your seat belts it's going to be a bumpy ride. And Wandle, ceo and all, are about to be exposed. Which does not help you residents. We listened to Drivetime. Tracey Lees sounds like someone on the you know what. HH will make mincemeat of her. And hopefully will have your collective backs. This is a shocking, disgraceful situation, good luck one and all

neighbwe? mean neighbours of course. its difficult sometimes from a phone on the way to work on a bus. but nothing to the stress and worry tenants here are experiencing. We are with Wandle through cruel circumstance which will clear and we will begone. Only hope SP tenants somehow are raised by this if only eventually and have a better life. This situation is shameful. I am so sorry that in this day and age we cannot help people more.

Owen, cannot speak for the Solomans Passage tenants or any other Wandle Tenant apart from myself discovering blank indifference, ignore, treat with contempt. for over 18 months now. therefore can imagine the psychological mental, and emotional effect this is having/will have on settled residents intent on describing a community and now being required to disperse in some sort of illogical diaspora as though this is war time. From my own experience Wandle have : no sense or sensibility, no logical or reason, no morality and no care for tenant including no fire alarm system and no means of escape in case of fire. We do not always realise this until we are esconced. As we have an expectation of safety through landlord. This is a situation with many faces is it not, we will rally as neighbwe will not abandon you do not be afraid.

To all Solomon's Passage residents - we are truly sorry to hear this shocking news. I don't believe your wider community are powerless and we will want to help. What I do find surprising is that with nearly 2,000 views on this thread, so few messages of support help or hopeful resolution. Is everyone else still in shock?

Saffron, I clicked on your link and saw the date. It seems the trail has gone cold.

Saffron, shocking though this news is, it is about 6 weeks old.

pollyanna you have an oven that is 15 years old? is it still efficent? we have a 3 yo very expensive slide in all electric cooker and if we could pay someone to come, slide it forward, clean it properly, we would happily pay 100?? but unfortunamy most firms charge by the oven

We all love a bargain and I have had one or two from the large St Christophers shop. Spotted this lunchtime : a long long long Renato Nucci coat in pale camel feels like cashmere and silk ?10. !! (too long for me sadly) and in the bric a brac, a clean bon maman jam jar avec lid, ?1. crazy.

We had a meal here Friday last (1st April) 8pm seems to be the optimum dining time. The lady who served us was charming. The food was delicate and delicious. Watch out for the red chillies. ?28 for two plus gratuity and a chilled bottle of white wine from Londis, Lovely

repossession notice on door of Pretty's greengrocers today and cafe resolutely closed. No more waiting 50mins for brunch, and surly service.

DF your roof looks fine

???? which Greek place would you be referring to?

I do not have property affected but nevertheless concerned that there is no nightime red warning light atop the crane on this Whateley Road site, either through a dark cloudy night or dismal misty morn, is this even legal? From my terrace I can see 6 crane lights in the distance but none of the crane before us. This morning especially, thick mist and cloud, helicopters take note.

they will be fine ... however I don't think Jerry will want a long engagement.

What we call the Med shop what KestonKid mentioned, sweet lemons and opens late and courteous staff and St Christophers for serendipitous forays and books of course a good atmosphere, AJ Farmer and Lloyds on NCR and card shop near Toast. You would think I would know the names of these shops by now. These are regular haunts and stand out shops for me which I/we would severely miss.

I was impressed by the forcefulness of moondancer post even though it reminded me of my old headmaster somewhat. We are not child friendly ourselves after 7/7.30 and want to be out in adult environments, the Cherry Tree is calm and friendly in the evening, Fair bit of mobbing on this thread, unkind.

addendum: in 2 parts a) if I had my wits about me at the time and knew then what I know now etc I would never have agreed to a 'family' Christmas when my wife's parents would descend and reduce my wife to tears within the hour and b) watch grumpy old men/women at Christmason youtube to know you are not alone. stay strong y'all tis only once a year
