Ok, own up. Who was it that said this quoted in The Sun?? One fumed in an online forum: "How am I expected to push past all those tracksuits while I'm carrying a selection of cheeses from Mons (a local posh cheesemongers) not to mention the quince paste." "You know, there may be a few scraps outside all of a sudden" https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21722594/we-dont-want-a-poundland-in-our-posh-neighbourhood/ A classic bit of Sun journalism 🤣

Are you sure the building is not insured by the freeholder. It would be negligent and very risky for a freeholder to not have buildings insurance. If there was a fire and the house burnt down the freeholder would be liable. Usually the freeholder insures and then splits the cost between the leaseholders.

Have a look at Bell House in Dulwich Village for dyslexia resources. https://www.bellhouse.co.uk/

I came across this little snippet from The Sweeney filmed at the junction of Ryedale, Underhill Road and Honor Oak Mansions inside and out. There weren't many cars parked in Ryedale in 1974 compared to now.

My understanding is that if you don't wish to have hiv screening you just need to cross out the test on the blood form and testing won't be done. It's your choice.

It's worth reporting the potholes on this website because Southwark are then notified and can also put pressure on Thames Water to make a repair. Worth reporting any dangerous pothole. https://www.fillthathole.org.uk/

Shame we couldn't have a bank. That would be really useful!

At last, someone is making a fuss about this. Shame it had to be the Daily Express but at least one newspaper recognises this as an appalling failure of a public service.

I send out several 2nd class items every day which are second class tracked. They are getting delivery quickly. Some even arrive next day, which is amazing. RM are prioritising tracked items as the sender can claim compensation in some cases after 10 working days. Things like Christmas cards have no priority whatsoever so are taking 3 to 4 weeks to get delivered. Plus a lot depends on the local delivery office. The Peckham D.O. is a disaster area. If it's important, send it tracked Not true. My tracked parcels took 2-3weeks to arrive. £5.65 for one book sent to me tracked first class but only as tracked at delivery. Tracking at 24/48hrs is even more expensive and we shouldn't have to pay that. Sending post out of SE22 doesn't seem to be a problem. It's the post coming into SE22. In my case all parcels were stuck in the Croydon sorting centre when I rang to enquire.

If parcels are being prioritised why are tracked parcels not being delivered on time....one tracked parcel sent 28 November arrived on 22 Dec. One 24 hr tracked parcel sent 21 Dec still hasn't arrived. Royal mail are charging for a service they just can't deliver. I thought it was all about competing for the parcel delivery market but now I'm wondering if it's about a service so bad it collapses and royal mail can do a big property sell off and walk away.

Barclays just closed it

Brilliant idea. Not!! To bring healthy people seeking banking advice into the same place as sick and potentially infectious people seeking health care. I guess the rent is much cheaper than a proper bank...gotta keep up those profits...poor bankers!

Same place as it's burst and been repaired at least twice before. I would really appreciate someone from Thames water explaining why repairs only seem to last a few months before they go again. There are several leaks in this area that have been repaired at least three times.

Yes there's definitely a sore throat, lost voice, headache and cough bug going round lasting 1-2 weeks. Hope you feel better soon.

Considering that stretch of LL has lost two ATMs at Barclays since Friday, it's not a surprise the Co-op and Post Office ATMs are being given a hammering. There are two additional ATMs that charge a fee, Yildirim Off-licence at 93 LL charges £1.99 and Payless at 23 LL charges £1.85. The reduction of cash machines across the board because more people are using card is leaving those who rely on cash with less options. Even Saisnbury's has reduced the ATMs at DKH from 2 to 1. It's actually 5 ATMs lost because there were 3 inside including the machines that allow you to pay in cheques and not to mention all the times people tried to use the inside ATM only to be redirected back to the queue for the counter staff. Another nail in the coffin of customer needs. Maintenance of banking profits is king!

I thought you were pulling the ripcord....

Cos we really need another restaurant.....so much more useful than a bank!!!! Poundland is - its replacing Foxtons. Its discussed here: /viewtopic.php?t=2286345 Haven't heard anything about Wagamama. Any source for that one?

A bit of a side step but this place in London is worth a brief visit on a walk around Smithfield for random acts of amazing kindness and self sacrifice. V moving and on the 63 bus route. http://www.postmanspark.org.uk/about.html

Not weird because Dorries is an amoral, Borislicking idiot. Remember she's the MP who appeared on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here whilst be paid by us to be an MP. It's hard to imagine how she ever got so far in politics. She backed Truss along with Rees Mogg and now she's smarting from the fact she was kicked out of cabinet so now she's gunning for Truss. Amoral the lot of them.

They are reviewing this exact issue on Radio 4 Broadcasting House programme, tomorrow morning (Sunday) at 9 am.

Excellent feature. Thanks Joe

Oh that's the "if I concentrate, or pretend to, on something so much that I don't see my dog do it's business and no one calls me out on it, I'll get away with having to pick up a dog turd and walking round with it" technique. Because as we all know it is pretty revolting having to carry a bag of dog turd around until you reach an even more revolting doggy do bin. Anyone who gets a dog should have to first pass a test of picking up a dog turd and walking with it until they reach a smelly doggy do bin, for however long that takes, and if they can't do this repeatedly and therefore fail the test then they shouldn't be allowed to have a dog!!! Offending dog owners are just yucky!
