Niko?s just fixed a couple of plumbing problems for me He?s honest, reliable and doesn?t overcharge - thoroughly recommended. Contactable on 07818 607 583

Another recommendation for Daniel. Sorted a small job for me with minimum fuss and at a reasonable price

C?mon ED, I know you can do this

Lee Garvey?s very helpful. You can trust him and he won?t rip you off. -07881 277 385.

Am planning to sue my healthcare provider for medical malpractice (negligence)in connection with my mental health. The issues I have are failure to diagnose, & failure to implement an effective care plan. I?m seeking recommendations for a solicitor who has expertise in this area.

.

Can anyone recommend a good handyman ? I need some finishing work done after having an electrician in putting in new sockets (filling, sanding and re-painting)plus a door that needs re-hanging. Probably no more than half a day?s work.

Had a small job for Lee Garvey today who curteous, professional and good value for money. Would definitely reccomend

Another vote for Dulwich Medical Centre in Crystal Palace Road, I moved there from 306 Medical Centre in Lordship Lane a few years ago and they are fine.

It's simply a stealth tax. Local authorities are liberal with parking tickets and many are issued unlawfully, in the knowledge that most motorists won't contest. And as pressure on local govt spending increases, so the volume of parking fines issued will increase. The simple solution is not to break the rules.

Jeremy, I agree parking on a dropped kerb is forbidden for good reasons, but I was loading / unloading which is permissible under the relevant legislation. I also think tickets are issued when they are technically unlawful, and if the local council want to play by the rules then they should abide by them (in my case this this wasn't a "dropped kerb" in the strict legal sense rendering the ticket unenforcable).And I guess I find the whole business of blatantly generating revenue through parking fines pretty cynical, so if can beat these bureaucrats at their own game then RESULT !

I recently appealed successfully against a fine for parking adjacent to a dropped kerb and I get the impression a lot of tickets are issued unlawfully in the expectation they will just be paid and not appealed. The relevant legislation requires the kerb to be completely flush with the road - many are not and I used this in my appeal. There are exemptions too - eg you can park lawfully if you have permission to do so, or you are loading / unloading for less than 20 mins. I would appeal and start by asking for copies of the enforcing officer's notes and any photos taken. (In my case the photos were so poor they could not have been used as evidence.) Parking fines are just a stealth tax - fight back and if you don't get it turned over at the first appeal (just a tactic on the council's part) press on ! Good luck

The tour's 22nd-25th May. Won't be netting myself as I'm carrying an injury . Actually Thursday might be the better night for you as the nets are graded and it will be mainly 1st / 2nd XI on Tuesdays. Ask for coaches Steve Choney or Allen Blackford - these guys will look after you. Good luck and hope to see you in the bar in the Summer !

Come and play at Dulwich Cricket Club in Burbage Road. We have six teams out on a Saturday and three on a Sunday. Either come down to nets on a Tuesday or Thursday night or call the Club Secretary John Lawrence and let him know your availability. You'll need to call him at least the Monday before the weekend you want to play. And dont worry that you haven;t played for ages - I made my club debut aged 35 and this is my Eleventh season with Dulwich. (And if you want a spot of cricket over the bank holiday we're a player short for the 4 day 6th XI mini tour to Somerset and Wiltshire and the end of the month!- PM me if you fancy it)

Any lordlords out there ? What's it like from your perspective ?

There seems to be a lot of rooms available at the moment in ED. I guess it's a sign of the times with people trying to get a bit of extra income from renting out the spare room. With surplus supply are landlords finding it is difficult to rent rooms out, and is this driving rent down ? Are the days when a nice room in ED would fetch ?400-?500 a month a thing of the past ?

I live just opposite the Crown and Greyhound and my Virgin mobile reception in the house is usually very poor. I have to move round the house to find a spot from which I can send or receive texts !

Try the Transport for London website

I had the same experience. ?60 fine. Personally I think it's an abuse of CCTV. I can understand the need to control serious crime, but using CCTV to catch drivers for minor motoring offences is overstepping the limit in my opinion.

My DW just arrived home from shopping in ED with her new SNUB. Very chic it is too !

A few local sports clubs you might want to try: http://www.jagssportsclub.co.uk/ http://www.dulwich.org.uk/Intranet_SportsClub_Home_1.aspx?id=8:747&id=8:746&id=8:244&id=1:29102 http://www.brockwell-lido.com/

?75 seems excessive - they should have given you a warning first. How did you get to the figure of ?16,000 ?

Just popped down to the EDT for a game of table footie, and gorblimey it's gone !!! Anyone know another pub nearby with table football ?

David, You'd be very welcome to score for us (Dulwich VIth XI) one Saturday if you like. PM me if you're interested. Cheers Mike
