I gave up my membership this week, got fed up of trying to swim there. I too had filled in forms with my comments and received no response. I just wish they had some nights where lane swimming started earlier than 8. I know they need to balance the needs of everyone but as someone else has pointed out above there doesn't seem to be much priority given to people who want to go there to actually swim rather than float aimlessly. An 8 o'clock swim just isn't compatabile with having dinner at a reasonable time if you work and can't eat before you go. Sad really to give it up, I love swimming and the pool was nice when it reopened. Will have to go elsewhere.

My neighbour has very kindly collected the cat and is going to take it to the vet today. Hopefully it was chipped and the owner can be traced.

I have knocked on a few doors nearby to see if anyone knows it but no luck yet.

We came across a tabby cat which has been run over on Underhill Road tonight. Doesn't have a collar. Someone has already covered it up with a tea towel and moved it onto the pavement (side of the road with houses rather than cemetary side). I am posting on here in case anyone is aware of a missing cat in the area. Hoping the owner can be found so that they know what has happened to it.

From my basic knowledge gathered from studying an insurance claims handling module at the moment, I think that they are within their rights to decline to pay for the rest of the undamaged tiles to be replaced. I know it seems unfair, but that is a sets and pairs clause you have quoted and it does allow them to only pay for the damaged section and if the rest doesn't match then unfortunately that is down to you to sort out. I could be wrong, but pretty sure they are within their rights to decline. You can appeal to the Financial Ombudsman, but you need to write to your insurer and get their final reponse first before taking it further.

Does anyone know Benjamin Joseph? Suddenly started getting post addressed to him delivered to our address and was wondering if he lived around here and maybe was filling in forms with our address by mistake(our post code has a few options that could get confused on the automated post code systems...) or if someone is trying to set up broadband and mobile phone accounts at our address who doesn't live here! Rang one of the companies in question to ask if someone was setting up stuff at our address and got quoted the data protection act as a reason why they can't tell me. Most unhelpful.

Could have been these guys... http://www.adventureballoons.co.uk/products-london.html

It was rife at my uni. I used to keep anything that could not be kept in a fridge in my wardrobe instead of the kitchen and everything else I used to only buy what I needed for the day, which was a pain but at least it limited what could go missing (which it still did).

We did this last year for the other half's 30th, it was amazing and I would recommend it to others. Takes off from Hyde Park or near Vauxhall (depending on wind direction) at sunrise.

We have a team which trains on a Saturday morning and plays in a league on a Wednesday night and we are based in Dulwich. PM me if you want more information.

I think the speedbumps mentioned by randombloke on Underhill near Overhill are scratched because people seem to drive down there like they are on a race course. If they took it a bit slower I doubt so much damage would happen. I know it's not James Barbers area so he can't help, but the speed some people drive at along Underhill is very alarming (I know it is a hill and the tempatation must be too much for some to resist to floor it, but someone will get hurt at some point). I would personally love to see more effective measures along there to slow everyone down.

Could we have numbers at the bottom so we can see how many people have voted? Would make the percentages mean more then.

To all the people on here who think the police shouldn't pay, would you like it if I came onto your property without your permission (as it sounds happened here as the neighbour was the one who granted permission), damaged your property and then refused to pay for it? I don't think so. Yes damage is going to be caused in these circumstances, but why should an innocent party in all this have to fork out for it? This kind of damage should be factored into the policing budget as a cost of fighting crime. I don't mind if my taxes go towards this as I don't think Rockets should have to pay when it was nothing to do with them. Say they had caused worse damage, for example smashed a green house and a few windows as well as the fence. Should Rockets pay for that too? If it happened to me I would be demanding my costs to be paid. And now I shall duck as I prepare for you all to shoot me down... P.s. good luck Rockets.

Hi Lizzie, We stayed in the Ramada last year and it was not too expensive and was very nice and that was just for 1 night. I have stayed in the Ship Inn before, would not recommend there, the rooms were damp and not very nice! H
