Had a pet food delivery company put a huge bag of dog food under my front window kind of behind a plant. It wasn't hidden at all though, as anyone who came up the path could see it.

And on Christmas Eve morning, Royal Mail put a package in my recycling box, the old style one. No note through the door though. And I was in. I only noticed it when I came out and it was on the path. Thought it was kids mucking about. Went to move it and felt the weight of the package.

Lime cordial with soda and maybe ice.

Sorry to hear about your hand.

Please do post on here when you start cooking again.

Must be due to closure of Peckham PO.

And perhaps flu season. I remember when there used to be a sub PO in Melbourne Grove. We were lucky.

Pic attached, taken from their pic.

The letter they sent me quoted double yellow bands, here's a picture. They don't appear to be entire bands, they are broken and almost rubbed out. This seems to be their reason for refusing my appeal. Must say I hadn't even noticed them...

Yes to double yellows. Don't know about yellow short bands. Took a photo of car and sign. Can go back to see if there are bands.

Thanks, that is very useful. Still not sure why the ticket was issued.

Hi

Yes, they were with me.

It's Lewisham, not Southwark.

I received a ticket from Lewisham for parking on double yellow lines, not blocking a corner, but using a blue badge and clock. Was taking the person's very unwell dog to the vet. Had parked similarly, i.e. On double yellows, also displaying th badge and clock in ED, when couldn't find a space, but didn't receive a ticket from Southwark.

I appealed the ticket, in the time stipulated and didn't hear back from them until Christmas Eve, letter dated the 23Rd December. The appeal was rejected.

Couple of questions, are rules different in Southwark and Lewisham? Had a friend park on double yellows with her blue badge, in Lambeth, but she didn't display the clock so her appeal was rejected. I can understand that.

Do councils have to respond to an appeal in a more timely manner? It took them more than 7 weeks. They then said I had to pay by cheque! Wasn't expecting that. So I ordered a cheque book, and it hasn't arrived yet, due to Christmas dates etc.

Any help gratefully received.

Thank you.

Why do you drink/need so much?

Seems a bit odd to me to ask all and sundry on the forum this question, especially for something that might get stolen and isn't reusable.

Hello,

When are you next cooking?

Sad news. Stephen can be seen in The Secret History of our Streets, Reverdy Road, which is on iplayer and YouTube. I watched it yesterday.

Sent you a pm.

Have you tried giving him some nice wobbly jelly?

Might hear from some very confident roasties chefs, with pictures!

Never had a roast at The Lordship but I like their other food.

Thank you.

Their menu looks great.

Can anyone confirm that this place is still open?

Cats are like that. Maybe it will take a few days.

The igloo house is such a nice idea. Would probably need a plastic crate to put it in, in case it rains. And have it off the ground on a plinth.

Amazing good news!

I can't get the link to work.
