Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?

Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols. Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well

So top of Lane. Local Sainsbury, middle Co Op and M and S and bottom Tesco Express…..now everyone should be happy except those that want a Waitrose as well…0h and don’t forget M and S near ED Station….

So please tell me are they open and where are they located?

Totally agree - everyone is allowed their own views..

Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

Agree with you - just like Love Dulwich. At least it is healthier than pizza and god knows how many chicken, chips and burger places on lane.. And different.

Does anyone cook at home anymore?

Try Alleyns School - ask about Sparks for Kids

Quiz night at Plough, use to be free music at Swedish Place on LLane think, community cafe near Telegraph Hill has music, quiz etc.. guess it depends what age group you want to mix with and where. Meet up isn’t a bad site. helped if you shared some interests and if you-are prepared to venture out if ED. Herne Hill is good as well / free noticeboard in alley as well

Why on earth does anyone need two of them?

Not being funny here but do you need to change your diet for whatever reason or do you need someone to evaluate what you eat and what you should be eating. plenty of info on line regarding this and also on nhs website. Or are you trying to find out what you are allergic or have a reaction to. Sure you are tech savy and can research and try. It isn’t rocket science!! Look further down and there is your answer in Oru Centre - hop and skip away!!

Why not have a chat with the Maths school on Lordship lane? Just down from library - in front of bus stop opposite side of road to Sainsbury. Libraries sometimes offer coding …not sure if it still tuns but in Brockwell Park they use to have a little train - maybe they might have stuff that needs fixing.

Know of one in Devon expecting pups towards end of year. PM me

Here we go again….

Your point being what? Kids in face masks all in black? Being going on in ED for years.. wake up, gangs are around or is this first time you have been aware.. No doubt your hubby walked away - probably ran when he felt safe..

So why did you not do or say anything and made a point of saying black - since you did nothing why underline your whole message..

Head Nun - bet you had shoes on - now if you had said I did it barefoot that is different….

For clarity, since the heat seems to be getting to people - my friends in Hampshire, Essex, Cornwall tell me that the same insanity is happening there - probably in other counties to! I have in the past seen adults walking last year with young children with no hat or to the best of my knowledge suns-cream on and idiots in Dulwich Park allowing their children or who knows maybe it is the au pair or nanny taking the kids to the park when it is over 30 degrees.. I rest my case - doesn’t matter if you have 4 feet or 2 - 4 feet suffer more as generally have a coat and no protection on their feet / 2 feet at least have foot protection. Like I said, I am just joining the conversation - everyone has a right to their own opinion. For all you know or anyone, if a person has taken a dump might have been unwell, couldn’t find toilet in time.. numerous reasons - mental health problems, homeless whatever. Not pleasant I agree, but get a pair of rubber gloves and deal with it. We all live in the same community and in this heat with kids about, would have thought plus flies etc - do it if you live on the same street or area / people just walk past I assume and god knows how long council would take to come. Says nothing about human nature - not my problem… seems to be the way of the world in towns these days.

What is wrong with calling a dog a woofer?

Other people have also commented -

Well if it was that obvious, post would not still be continuing!!

Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong.. Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out. And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering. Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.

Count yourselves lucky you are not Mitcham /Croydon way - according to news, hundred of homes without water. Can’t believe a company of this size are so inefficient or have so few staff. Criminal when you think of countries without alot of water or how far people walk to get water and yet here in west or UK in particular we just let it run away in torrents…

You allowed to sublet let under terms of lease?
