I haven't been to Northcross rd for a long time and understand that the market is doing very well,is there a fruit and veg stall in it?

A police force in America once targetted drivers who abused disabled bays in supermarkets. They stopped them once on the public highway and found the majority were driving cars that were illegal in some way,usualy insurance ,license or unpaid tickets. The rationale the police used was that people who flouted minor rules and abused facilities often thought that the law was only for others to obey. I wonder if this would apply to the Sainsbury 'bay bandits'?

maybe he was flytipping his rubbish down Northcross Rd by the Londis gates.There's a lot of it going on.

That strip of grass on the roof,is that the playing field?

I admire your optimism Whynniard,hopefully it will offer a decent education and benefit the area.

It looks grotesque and dominates the whole area. They call it a 'pavillion in the park'. It's a factory and the only park it should be in is an industrial park in Manchester.

Sly and Reggie,apologies for the rather insulting post the other day and thankyou for the explanation.

We shall agree to differ.Oh well I must be getting old .

Who are these grinning, smug buffoons? Round and round with the PA system blaring full blast from the back of their pickup. I presume they are advertising something but the sound is so distorted I can't tell.

Arguement between driver and pedestrian,ended up with a headbutt and kicking.

Saw the arguement and assault this afternoon.It was heartening to see how many witnesses came forward to give details to the police,restores my faith in ED.

Scammed,but no shame in that . Think of the hours of practice she had to put in to cover every possible question or doubt you might raise,then think of the failed attempts and rebuffs,one almost admires the dedication . You gave your personal details to a stranger.Watch out for letters saying you have won the Greek Lottery...'just fill in these few details to claim'.

Enforcing planning regs is vital,especially when it comes to business premises. Whole neighbourhoods can be blighted by a noisy or polluting firm,ie. jobbing builders turning their gardens into scaffolding yards,bars extending premises and garages operating substandard spray booths etc..... Southwark council should be ruthless in enforcing,no business or individual should be able to flout the planning law.

Please,who ever is in charge of the lovely cafe, organise the place.The queue is horrendous,the staff are pleasant enough,the coffee is good but they each serve one customer at a time meaning that they are fighting each other for the coffee machine.Why not one to shout orders and dish out the cake ,one on the till and one making the coffee? Maybe your till should be at the end of the counter not in the middle? I dunno ....just hate to wait for 20mins or more, spoils a good day out.

Vegas/Modern style bar and grill offering high quality comfortable furnishings,decent fittings,decor, art and lighting,serving good steak and Italian cuisine.I don't want to see any garden furniture,organic Welsh sea grass soup or cheap paint jobs masquerading as shabby chic. Make sure the bar and restaurant staff are well trained,friendly and know how to properly hustle for tips. With the honourable exception of one curry house,the eateries in LL are mostly old fashioned, uncomfortable and poorly designed. I don't know what your budget is but good luck.

Had the same problems with my Honda C90.People nick the bits from it that get damaged if the bike falls over ie. kick starts ,mirrors and indicators.

So many more people would cycle around London if cycle ways were physicaly seperate,just painting a line in the road and calling it a cycle lane is not really sufficient.

I have found that the bulk waste team are happy to take away large amounts of rubbish if they are approached directly and negotiated with.

Was sent out to the back garden about 10pm by the missus to investigate 'noises'.Confronted youth wearing white baseball cap hiding by the fence,after general shouting and bluster on my part he climbed into next doors garden then over their back gate to freedom in Crystal Palace Rd. Seems a rather tame tale but what pisses me off totally is the fact that he told me to calm down...........in my own garden ,the c**t.

Cod stocks are at a sustainable level in the North Sea and in plentiful and sustainable supply from the North Atlantic.

Emilys in North x rd does the best cod , Britannia does the best chips, last time I went into the Sea Cow they had run out of cod and tried to persuade me to eat pollock on 'enviromental' grounds.........nice try guys!

Does anyone know if the council are going to shut this road for the Saturday market and increase the number of stalls?

Reminds me of the pawn shop in Pulp Fiction,but in a friendly East Dulwich sort of way.

Thankyou,I remembered some law being passed a few property booms ago to deal with it,I shall take your advice and see what happens.
