Derelict Grove Tavern - who to contact?
beansprout replied to Dean Connell's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
At the end of the day, whilst these youngsters have been enterprising presumably with adult help & I also assume no local youth group - the fact remains that it is a prime site fir redevelopment be it a supermarket - Aldi, Lidel whatever or social housing which, let’s be honest here lots of people need. Know Idea why has been derelict gor do long anyhow, but somewhere on this site I think there is a problem with who owns it. And let’s not forget the homeless man who slept there - Front on Lordship Lane who had his home destroyed by I assume vandals a couple of years ago. -
South Circular roadworks - excessive disruption
beansprout replied to Penguin68's topic in Roads & Transport
Why on earth is it going to take 3.5 months? Other countries do it much faster - what is wrong with this country? Unless of course underlying problems - potential sink hole being one…the inconvenience caused to all - wonder if working at weekend would speed it up & at night.. -

Got a great one in West Wickham - nhs as well….

Estate Agents - recommendations/avoid?
beansprout replied to hazysunshine's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Was impressed with sales manager/director at Winkworths… Why don’t you do it yourself? Plenty of people looking - most I hope not time wasters… Guess you want the reassurance of agent checking buyers out or simply don’t have the time. Wish you all the best.. -
Yes—- not phone at all - got that checked out last week. is an id issue— works for you… just drop it now - you are really like a dog with a bone..!! Oh, asked for another sim las year - as refused.. Tried again this year and never received it…

In my case, internet doesn’t work even in London, incoming cals disconnect b4 u can even pick up calls! Reinstalled ap & now even worse! Can however, access where I am regarding billing etc. Been with them 4 for years - been bad for over a year.. blamed my phone etc- lucky for me, can just change & leave, hopefully without any delay as only SIM pay as you go… Must be just unlucky….. would not recommend them now to anyone - if all else fails will just very very reluctantly ho to one of the big 4 & take a contract, which seems to have to be 4 two years or just might decide to not have a phone at all..

Sue, Southbank in London - you must know this and I don’t need to spell it out to you - must be having brain fog…. Libra I believe piggy backs off Three. if you go on ID website, you can see numerous people complaint about service anyway it is a dead subject now as I am leaving them having been with them for over 7 years
-
Pity I am going in other direction!

Use AA website - even tells you how far car of your choice is….

Yes they piggy back off three - found a number to actually speak to them. We’re not fussed I was leaving, said they were having problems. Really is ridiculous - have worse reception in London than Devon - doesn’t connect at all now and I am along Southbank way. Calls keep being disconnected. Sadly, I am done with them - overcharged me for one month and not refunding. Going to Libra - not possible to be as bad as ID - literally been going on for months and as they admitted last year to me when I was having problems with their ap “ yes, we have been experiencing problems”!,

New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition
beansprout replied to Joe's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Love Dulwich must be included. Another lovely meal, freshly cooked. Use to always support other places on the lane but quite a few of them din’t reach even the basic mark of freshly cooked food. Guess will see the likes of Megans closing - staff retention is zero & cooks change regularly. Hate chains, but that is personal. Hopefully Jonnies will remain - since people who use them, have been using them for years and generations. -
Never had a problem with Poundland - good selection of stock and shop is clean. I have always found staff helpful, pleasant and go out of their way to try and help. one in Barnstaple in Devon is I believe closing down- shop is not laid out as well, cramped and not a pleasant experience. Sure there is going to be major complaints when it closes. if the shop closes in East Dulwich, without doubt local community will complain - not everyone can afford prices that other shops charge.

Having just returned briefly to the area, just had to recommend this cafe. Had an excellent breakfast at the same cost as any other cafe in East Dulwich - and not as good.. Light and bright with attentive staff. Nothing to much trouble. Tables well spaced and attention paid to cleanliness. Child friendly with a separate menu for them. A comprehensive food menu with the usual alcoholic drinks plus cocktails. Will certainly be back - long may they remain. A great addition to the area. Opening hours Mon - Sun 8.45 - 5.00

Been with them for years but over the last year, service has really dropped. Can’t load or access site and having finally found a contact number for them, have confirmed that for months now they have had internet problems. Can’t even make calls on a regular basis. Didn’t even want to encourage me to stay! So sadly I am off. Been recommended Labara - looks good and I believe piggy backs off Vodaphone which can’t be as bad as Three. Any views? Tks.

Hello All, I will be driving to Devon and was wondering if anyone fancies a lift and to share petrol costs? Thanks

Advice on iPhone security and mobile company required
beansprout replied to beansprout's topic in The Lounge
Been with ID for years and thank you I do know how to access wi fi - and don’t have the problems I have been experiencing recently. Even asked a young person today on the train and they could not understand it either. No problem with my android phone at all - Well not to this level. As an example, would not connect ie my iPhone at Waterloo Station today - had various staff members try - result had to pay for a return ticket on top of what I had already paid out!! Sat in a Curry store, about 10 days ago and refused to move until they had sorted out the fact that ID had locked me out of the system. Did get it all sorted out and running via help from ID - they are an online company but Curry’s have, let’s call it a “hot line” to them. I have found a number as well on line - who knows if it works or not - I am classified as a vulnerable person, hate to have to use it as a way of getting a result. No joy what so ever at the Apple Shop - couldn’t even get them to book an apt for me at their tech team for the same day - was prepared to wait a couple of hours but no, come back following day at blah time and noI did not use my disability to get more help. Bus is fine, outside is patchy but so be it - just have to find a good spot, can connected to all free wi fi in Malls and pubs, cafe etc. Please give me the name of a reputable phone shop, if you have one. You seem to be having difficulties as well with your laptop/ computer etc My phone is only 2 /3 years old.. Thanks for your comments and replying. -
Hi, Over the last few months, even though i phone is up to date with security, I am having several problems. The most frustrating is going on long journeys by train and just not connecting or at best very patchy with free Wi-Fi - as on train. Apps especially train line just not connecting at all but strangely iPad works well. Been to Apple Shops - no help at all. Switched it off waited and switched on again - nothing..! Beginning to drive me abit insane and certain,y very grumpy! I am with id mobile and have been with them for years. In despair bought an android phone and pay as you go with EE to test out before taking a contract - certainly much better all round but all my stuff is on iPhone and really don’t need to take two phones out & about with me. Are folk happy with EE? I won’t go near Virgin or Sky - had bad experience with both. Do I need to add extra security to iPhone? Thought they were “King” of that side. Something must be overlooked by me as aside from above seem to have regular scams a well Can I take it somewhere reliable for someone to check my settings? Done all that and still having problems. All helpful suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looking for recommended hotels in area
beansprout replied to Froglander's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Look on air b n b - Tulse Hill Hotel has - think it might be noisy as does Pub, can’t remember name in Herne Hill - and Lilac House in West Dulwich -
Hi, Julia is an old friend of mine and a talented artist. I have been travelling and would like to find out how she is or if anyone has any news about her. I have been in touch with some of her friends but since the care home she as in, in Peckham has closed down, everyone seems to have lost touch with her and there does not seem to be anyway of contacting the company who ran the care home. She featured in one of the local newspapers in 2022 when there was an article written about her when she was in the care home. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction then please pm me. Many thanks.

New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham - 2024 Edition

Great new restaurant - set lunch is good value and dinner isn’t that expensive, freshly cooked and always willing to provide a doggie bag. -

Dulwich Hill SNT - "Cuppa with a Coppa"
beansprout replied to SNT - Dulwich Hill's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Cuppa with a copper must be an ongoing initiative - was walking in the village a few weeks ago and saw a posting - thinking about it, good way for locals to discuss their concerns especially if they are single people, families and older folk who have concerns but unclear where or who to contact to address their concerns. Bringing community spirit back to areas in London - and showing a police presence if only for a few hours a month.
