Can't stand it when someone says 'hey ho' as in eg '...well, that's just my opinion but hey ho'!

people who write random words in caps for no good reason, are they 'shouting'? who knows:-S. people who write 'ect' instead of 'etc' people who write 'there' instead of 'their'

really don't understand so many people wanting a Waitrose, what's so great about it?

It's so fuck1ng selfish. doesn't stop me, just say excuse me & take the inner seat - could be though they just don't want to be squashed up to the window by some big fat sweaty stinker:(

the cheapskate 'buyer' who will 'take it off your hands' for 'free' to 'save you the trouble of getting rid of it yourself'

the meeting was (& still is) quite clearly advertised on The Surgery's website www.thegardenssurgery.co.uk

I had one a while ago & it is nothing more than a very uncomfortable camping bed. The matress is thin & the bed is very short in length & narrow. It doesn't always stand straight & as a chair it is not that comfortable either. (You have to be careful when buying Ikea beds & sofa beds to check the measurements - they vary quite a lot & don't do uk standard sizes).

Thanks James for the info. I look forward to the crossing. No more trudging up to Iceland to cross over. Fab.

There is no crossing outside the co-op at the mo that I can see only a largish ramp on the road. Where is this new crossing or is it yet to be built?

I was told there was a police car on Upland Rd end of Hindmans Rd last night.

If it's bothering you, ring the southwark noise team to report it. Tel 020 7525 5777 . They will also be able to check to see if they are supposed to be there.

yep, they bashed on my door too tonight. Very loud & pushy. They were hard to get rid of so I told them I didn't have a loft lol & then they went off, leaving my gate wide open grrr!

I have only recently started buying online from Sainsburys in an effort to save money, banning myself from going into shops & making those tempting compulsive buys:-$ So far, so good. All deliveries have turned up on time. Once I received a bag of courgettes & some of them were going bad so I just rang Sainsburys & they gave me a refund. The only thing I do find a bit annoying is the online trolly - you have to be careful & keep saving it along the way as it times out & items can disappear without you noticing!(6)

thanks for everyone's replies, just seemed a bit odd to me him knocking late in the evening, he didn't have any leaflets or anything to take notes, didn't say which company he was with & I didn't ask as didn't want to get into discussion.

I walk past the 'East Dulwich Hotel' a few times a day. It never used to have a sign up just a hand scribbled note stuck to gate or board saying 'rooms' but now has a proper sign up saying 'East Dulwich Hotel'! I was very surprised to see this as it still looks as seedy & dirty as ever, the paper note is still stuck to the board outside. I have seen inside on many occasion when the door's been left wide open & it does look very manky, not the sort of place you'd want to cross the threshold let alone stay in. I googled it out of curiosity & found not surprisingly ,amongst others, 3 x 1 star reviews on Trip Advisor.co.uk

Just had a knock on the door from guy asking if I get my milk delivered & if I'd like it delivered, said he was the new milkman? A bit odd this time of evening & a bit odd anyway I thought. He had no id or anything or leaflets. He appeared to be randomly knocking on doors round Upland Rd. I wondered if anyone else had experienced this?
