Water seems to have returned...

Hillcourt Road. Anyone else???

Live locally. Found out about this years festival yesterday. Have made plans to head down with friends on Saturday. Just discovered it's sold out. Gutted. Tessie - any chance of a couple of comps, please??

Who'd have thought that such a prolonged period of alternate wind direction would be so life changing...

Knocked on my door as well. Left abruptly when I declined the offer to sponsor his 100 penalty shoot-out. Thanks for advising that this is a scam. Hopefully someone will notify the police of this should he be doing the rounds again tomorrow...

Posted this the other day - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-35378499 Here's hoping it proves a success and is rolled out across London / the country ASAP.

Let's hope this proves a success and comes to ED ASAP - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-35363991

The problem with ED's pavements being covered with disgusting dog shit is not due to the lack of poo bins, but due to the selfish & inconsiderate mentality of the owners.

We have water! Whoop whoop!

I too just spoke with TW. The chap explained that because they're legally obliged to distribute water after 6 hours and both SE22 & SE23 are affected (I.e . A large area), their primary objective is to get it fixed within the 6 hours, which on my reckoning should be around 2pm... I guess we'll just have to wait & see!

Hillcourt Road waterless too. Far from ideal. Just hope they get it sorted soon.

Has anyone had this done recently? What sort of costs are we talking? Can anyone recommend a company? We're on a road off Underhill - so impacted by the hill - and as such our ground floor is raised so there's quite a lot of excavating that would need to take place, not to mention supporting the house. Thanks.

There was just an owl like hoot coming from the gardens behind Hillcourt Road & Overhill Road. Couldn't see the source unfortunately. I wonder!

Run for your lives - THEY'RE HERE!!!

The air is heavy with heat & humidity. Could today be 'flying ant day'? I bloody hope not - I FECKIN HATE THEM!!!

Very good :)

Difficult to tell. Looks like mine have a black head/fore-body, an orange mid/lower body, and a white (tipped) tail. Can't easily identify them online, nor get a decent pic. I'll persevere... fl0wer Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Leave them alone, it'll be fine. > > Someone will come on line soon mentioning things > called Wall Bees, so you might as well look them > up for differentiation images.

Looks like there's a bee nest in the eaves of my house. Pretty sure they're bumbles looking at the size of them - which is great to see - just not sure whether I need to do anything about it, or not. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
