  1. I'm sorry to hear that. Good luck in chasing them down. What kind of car was it?
  2. Support the local cafes that still exist! Otherwise we will end up with nothing but twee chains owned by private equity firms and multinational coffee shops.
  3. Hold on, though - isn't that a proposal for something that would come in by 2026 from a government that isn't buying green bananas?
  4. It's not always easy, but we have to try to not allow supermarket inconveniences affect our happiness. Worse things happen at sea.
  5. That doesn't sound like the end of the world.
  6. I do not think the comment was made about the (putative?) robber.
  7. Rye Lane or Electric Avenue. I successfully bodged a repair with a battery off ebay in the past...and broke another phone trying to repeat the trick.
  8. Jesus wept. How does anyone expect the council to get anything done if they want a public consultation on what kind of surface goes under the street drinkers' benches? Councillors are voted in to get on with stuff, not fanny about with every curtain twitcher's ill-informed opinion. There was a mistake, it's been fixed already.
  9. I don't think the council (Lambeth, I think...?) would have anything to do with it.
  10. "Local business owner Fran Ayre who runs Ayres Bakery told MailOnline that it was 'typical council' and that the constant disruption could affect her business which has been going for more than 60 years." come off it, pal! This is one little corner of the open space being redone. BFD
  11. That's gently encouraging - the applicant (or at least someone with the same name in the same part of the country and the same industry) seems to be a director of Wickham Bistro Ltd, which in turn seems to operate a nice looking cafe in Bromley. https://www.wickhambistro.com/
  12. My office had something similar (can't remember brand) 10 years ago and the repair guy was constantly there. To be fair, maybe they've improved since then.
  13. It's sad to see an independent affordable cafe shut down. I hope something similar opens up in its place. Plough Cafe and Johnnie's still do good caff food, as does the cafe inside Christ Church East Dulwich at 363 Barry Rd (Monday 10am to 2pm, Tuesday & Thursday 9am to 4pm, Wednesday & Friday 9am to 3pm).
  14. If you neither register the car nor display the badge, how is anyone supposed to know?
  15. 1) it's not the council that is cutting the tree down. It's the company owned by the flats in the block behind. 2) the tree is riddled with fungus - there is a arboriculture report that shows this. People don't spend thousands to cut trees down for no reason. 3) it's not a matter for Southwark Council because Tulse Hill is in Lambeth... Go to the post on the "Herne Hill Forum" on Facebook (not the real forum)
  16. A lot of these gambling shops are open 24 hours a day - extremely depressing. Gambling firms don't make money from the people who might bet on the Grand National or whatever. They make a massive slice of their profit from a tiny number of compulsive gamblers. It's very depressing
  17. There was a concern about toys containing small magnets a couple of years ago, wasn't there? Kids were swallowing them accidentally...?
  18. Give over. The number of threads and comments against CPZs on here has zero relation to real life. Active posters on this forum are a tiny and unrepresentative sliver of Dulwich residents.
  19. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/340029-37-and-42-diversion/
  20. This also affects the plucky little P4: https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/p4/
  21. Live updates here: https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/37/ and https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/route/42/
  22. There does seem to be a lot of it about. Our neighbour (not on Trossachs) had their car stolen the other week.
  23. Reported crime statistics are generally a good indicator of the change in incidence of crimes, even if - for obvious reasons - they do not map to the actual incidence. But in any case you can always refer to the British Crime Survey, which isn't calculated on the basis of reported crime.
  24. Probably a good occasion to train for human rescue in realistic circumstances too 🙂
