Jules-and-Boo

the roll out/ introduction of CPZ across all of Britain has been going on for a number of years. It's a money making scheme and also designed to reduce the number of cars (not at all a bad thing). the real concern is that people think this is a labour initiative and that voting in the tories will mean that it won't go ahead. it's not relevant. the council will introduce it anyway but that short sightedness can have long term impacts, especially with the general election approaching.

I saw him having cuddles a few days ago.

lost its appeal to us when the crowds changed and the whole things needed security. Now just really middle class and mainstream. Shame really

Nice sentiment Spartacus, but there are sufficient crimes reported to instigate a deployment of police. it’s not happening. There are no police attending or being visible. What level of crime do you think sets the trigger for police to well, police? Or rather, what do you think is necessary in order for adequate funding to be given to the police force?

you'd like to think it was tongue-in-cheek, but there's really no grounds on which to assert that

Great use of resource - couldn't someone find some water - there are lots of businesses around there. Fire extinguishers? Don't people actually have any common sense at all? And seriously - "War Torn"? Get over yourself. There are real problems in the world

we used the floor steamer on the carpets and that got rid of them completely. you can also use on upholstery with correct attachments

A Welcome Celebration

You can't call people fascists because they don't agree with you and then justify that by saying you're Woke. If you feel that there is social injustice, the thing to do is go ahead and turn up and show your support - and find out what you can actively do to make things better. Sometimes things are more complicated - are the protests trans-phobic? or what is the message? Discourse is usually the best first step. If the concern is that by turning up and showing your support, that there will be a bigger focus on the protest and that will allow those protesting to air their views - is that not welcome? to allow people to have an open forum to discuss their views? If nothing else, it will highlight any issues that need to be addressed.

That’s a great idea

Please recommend what has worked well for your dogs and cats. We’ve tried Frontline and Advantage and don’t find that they work. We also use a spray in the house and clean frequently. Dreading this year if we can’t find a solution

Very similar. We raised the lounge ceiling by 54cm which involved having to move the joists as well. Well worth it

so much hate for the vet. The NH Vet have been absolutely fantastic for all of my issues. We took in a rescue dog who needed two knee replacements due to damaged cruciate ligaments. We were unable to travel for the specialist operation and aftercare, so they brought their specialist vet in, who drove up for a 8am appointment. The surgery was carried out beautifully and the personal care was brilliant. The Brockwell Vets on the other hand - absolutely disgraceful. They put my sick cat in a room with a vicious dog and caused her so much stress. We waited for the vet to see us and waited - eventually I went looking for her and found her on the phone chatting about holidays. They tried to force tablets down my kitty's dry throat and didn't even know about IV. We asked them to order a vet ambulance and they said they would, we waited and then they said they hadn't and wouldn't. Ended up taking a cab and got soaked on the way to the cab office (Vet refused to let us wait there as they were closing - not that I'd been waiting for the ambulance they told me they'd booked two hours prior). Vet in Streatham said my cat was in shock from the experience. I was too upset to make a formal complaint but did go and see the vet personally later, who apologised. Too fricking late.

I thought Dulwich Estates were notorious for increasing rents? Is that not why we lost the lovely Brickhouse and got the chain Gail's?

Poundland sells jam doughnuts? Awesome

The woods, golf course and allotments

I find it particularly offensive (yes - I am offended) by the number of people who still buy coffee in disposable cups - they do not bio degrade and disappear just because you can no longer see them once you've put them in the bin. Just buy a nice reusable one - from Poundland!!!! - and literally do the world a favour.

Bsand….. Clearly not posh enough if you’re talking us all through your money. Also, moved away but still checking the local forum ?

Fancy! We can buy online and avoid being seen in Poundland :-) Can we please have a new thread- Famous People in Poundland.... should be far more interesting than Famous People in Sainsbury's

Nice post Malumbu :-)

Peckham Plex also let you take your own food (so long as it's not hot) and drinks. Perfect for taking a bunch of kids or letting the teens go out and have fun. Lots of great memories there and some great audience appreciation - it's lovely to hear people cheering a fantastic movie.

Picturehouse (a chain) had problems pre-pandemic due to underpaying staff and generally being a poor company We've always preferred Peckham Plex and still go, as we want to support them.
