Do report any that you see. Sometimes it works! https://www.fillthathole.org.uk/

How about asking the Monumental Mason on Wood Vale as that looks like a commonly used font for a gravestone. You could get a quote for a gravestone as well. He did one for me a while back which was preferable to buying one online.

If you don't find anyone consider this charity to donate medical books https://books2africa.org/

Apologies. 10x4hrs is full time for Hospital Consultants. For GPs it's 37.5 hrs for full time according to the BMA and anything less is part time.

As far as I understand ten 4 hour sessions would be full time so if you work anything less than 40 hours a week as a GP you will be considered as part time. A 35 hr week that is full time for most people would be part time for a GP.

Try Jeff at Streatham Decorators. He does work in East Dulwich and has done a lot of good work for me. https://streathamdecorators.co.uk/

I'm really happy to recommend Jeff from Streatham Decorators. He has done several jobs for me now. His work is very good and he is punctual, reliable, clean and tidy and reasonably priced. https://streathamdecorators.co.uk/

Not sure if this helps 😕

O2 coverage is good in ED although drops off in Sydenham woods and Dulwich Village.

Thanks for that comprehensive reply. It is reassuring and appreciated that you, as administrator, are keeping such a close eye on reviews. I will continue to try to disregard reviews from new accounts with one posting just to be on the safe side.

Curious to know if anyone else struggles to sort the genuine reviews from the self posted. I have had a few tradesmen off the forum who have glowing reviews eg excellent work, great value etc who I have found mediocre and very expensive. I prefer to only review if the work is good and, for poor or mediocre work, I tend to say nothing as I don't want to blight someone's livelihood from my one mediocre or worse experience. But I now notice, across different tradesmen, how many reviews come from newly registered names on the forum with only one post saying how a particular tradesman was absolutely fantastic. Sadly I've started to think these are probably made up. It's such a shame because it makes the review section lose it's value.

Gianluca did a great power washing job for me. Punctual, reliable and gas all the necessary tools and equipment to do a great job.

He did a great job on my windows too.

Oh the wonders of the internet....you can curtain twitch without ever leaving the comfort of your sofa. I wonder which unsuspecting house seller will be next in line for the ED critique.

Do you speak about the houses of your own clients this way? 🤔

I saw a few kilner jars with clip lids a couple of days ago in the Sue Ryder charity shop next to Forest Hill Sainsbury's. Worth a visit.

A neighbour used this one who is local and is a chartered surveyor. I can't say how good they were with any problems as the neighbour's project went smoothly but worth a conversation. https://cscharteredsurveyors.com/

Make sure you get a fully qualified chartered surveyor who is also qualified to do party wall surveys. Anyone can call themselves a party wall surveyor and be a member of the faculty of party wall surveyors. You just have to have an interest in party wall surveying. If your PW surveyor is not a fully qualified chartered surveyor you can end up in all sorts of difficulties when said PW surveyor doesn't actually know what they're talking about. This may only come to light when a difficult problem arises and needs addressing. If everything goes well you may never find out that your PWS wasn't a chartered building surveyor.

Surprising if that tree doesn't have a Tree Preservation Order protecting it. Have you asked the Southwark tree officer?

Yes Wash and Dry in LL was my go to place for bedding and was good value and came back clean so I'm sorry to see them gone. I think Love 2 laundry was around 48 hrs from delivery to drop off.

I tried a service wash in Brockley and it was not good at all so then tried an online one following Jules-and-Boo's suggestion (thankyou). I tried Love2Laundry. It was more expensive than a local service wash but the duvets came back clean. So I will use again. They collect and drop off.

Do get your MP and relevant councillors involved. The only winners from more high street gambling outlets are the owning companies and those receiving the rent. People that use these gambling shops are often those who don't have money to lose. The presence of so many gambling shops in a High St is a sign of a struggling high street and that is an issue for the local council and the MP. It should be much harder to gamble than it is now. Gambling advertising on TV and phones is particularly pernicious and I wish the laws on this had never been liberalised. Gambling is a really harmful addiction that, unlike drug and alcohol addiction, can go unseen until addicts have lost everything. Opening another gambling outlet is a big mistake. I'm sure you'll find alot of people in Sydenham that would help you oppose this. Just keep spreading the message. Good luck. Lewisham gives has guidance on making a representation against licence applications for alcohol entertainment licenses on its website but much of the information is transferable. https://lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/business/licences-and-street-trading/licences-issued-by-the-licensing-team/alcohol-and-entertainment-licences/licensing---guidance-on-making-a-representation

Thanks for the advice. My hair is blue already.

Seemed quite clever to me...just casually ask name and date of birth....and before you know it there's a dodgy company set up at your address. But glad, so far, others think it's legit.
