Happy days - long summers. Great time to be a kid.

Amazon prime do quick deliveries or the shop in Crystal Palace should be open tomorrow

?

Nothing to do with the government policy then, or overseas investors?

I think it's a good outcome and very sensible. Could all have been avoided. Reeks a bit of entitlement really.

Im Happy for you. That?s really great news 😁

"Great advice about building rapport with lettings agents. We've tried and are trying our best with this but they're a mercurial bunch who turn off the charm as soon as they've gotten what they're after." Not suggesting you make friends - it's business. Be super nice to them (even if you're faking) until YOU get what YOU want. You need them to think about you more than anyone else. Call them and ask for things coming up You have to be persistent. Tyr renting privately. Have you posted on this site? or used the facebook page?

My daughter is looking to rent and find the same - places going very quickly. Although she doesn't actually need to move but just wants to before she starts uni. It is moving very fast and it is expensive. Is your tenancy actually finished? Did they issue you a proper notice to move out? Do you know about this? The landlord has to actually take you to court and get an eviction notice before you HAVE to move. I'd build up a rapport with the lettings agent and ask for early viewings before they are listed. Are you able to offer any rent up front? It can help. I would prefer a tenant who can pay cash in advance - and the landlord does get to choose who they let their property to. Also you may need to look further afield and spend less but have a different commute. Have you tried renting privately?

there's really nothing going on.

sorry - hard to tell when people are joking on here!

what does that mean? started with? Are you suggesting a gradual improvement in the quality of our 'celebrities'? That's very rude. Some of the names above have lived here for a long time. I very much doubt Jason Statham has thought "ooh, east dulwich is on the up, I must move there".... There are many other reasons people live in an area. Who would be the ultimate celeb to watch out for in Sainsbury Dog Kennel Hill - so we know when ED has "arrived"?

I'm amused by the comment that gay people don't gentrify anything. It's a bit of a tongue in cheek article but ED doesn't have gay bars - that's factual, but then ED isn't somewhere one would go to to go out out

Haha, yes there is definitely a tone you can get across

Kind regards or many thanks while subsequent ones might just get thanks Depends who it is. Lots of back and forth emails will end up with just my name and eventually just the message Yours Sincerely is for letters, not emails so ok if you?re sending an attachment.

No, we?ve seen it in our street. No valid reason. Challenge the council.

My comment was about councillors intervening in rail services. Do they have that power?

If we?re talking about trains? how about reducing obscene profits from ticket prices? National rail travel is outrageously expensive.

No, it means that journeys will be faster. You can find out when the bus is coming. City Mapper app has real time GPS. So you can to the bus stop at the right time.

Well let?s hope the government sorts out funding and supporting our vital transport service. TFL are right to reduce number of buses, it means that journeys will be faster as less traffic. If one route is proposed to be cut and it will have consequences, you need to tell them.

No, Nigello. It's not a step too far to protect wildlife. It's a step too far to expect that people walking their dogs can go anywhere they like. Dogs tend to have a chase instinct and not that many people can control their dogs as they should be able to. I'm all for a fenced off area. There are plenty of places I take my dog and keep away from the ponds. It's not hard at all.

I agree. no need to dogs to be around the pond when there are babies

you should have said something

have you contacted TFL and said what times are bottlenecks and need more buses?

lots of options

14 minutes between buses is hardly unreasonable or so inconvenient that you cannot get where you need to be. Factually, fewer buses on the routes make the journeys quicker. You will know that TFL has had fewer customer journeys since lockdowns and - while picking up - they are subject to a Government funding deal. I think it is reasonable for the agreement to be reduced costs from (including) fewer buses - even is that is ONLY four an hour.
