Oh I see! Don't think I must have had my weetabix yesterday! sorry that now makes sense though leaving it on the ground for the poor warden to pick up is just as bad!

Why do people put it in a bag & then chuck It on the ground that's crazy! Can't they hold on to it until they reach a bin?!

That's part of the problem you don't always see them do it! Unless you sat there with a camera - we get to school at 8.40 in the mornings & the fresh piles of dog poo are already there suggesting that these particular dog owners are walking their dogs early when they know there aren't wardens or many people around.

So predictable as soon as anyone dares mention dog shit on the pavement first mate adds in the chicken bone litter argument & the danger to dogs. no litter is good - no one should drop litter. but I would rather pick up litter than other people's dog shit. This morning outside Heber Primary school there were 3 more big piles of dog mess right outside the main gates on Heber road and on Jennings Road.

The guy who runs the flower shop in the village has direct experience of this type of behaviour from the estate & it's worth hearing his experience if u are ever down that way.

Weirdly I am looking for a bagpiper too -but for a different date! If you find someone can you let me know?

What was the haircut like though?! I've always thought they were good cutters in there but must admit have never had a drunk hairdresser!

Thank you v much will try them

Has anyone used a decent oven cleaning company on here that you would recommend?

Yes I agree - we have since had another plumber round to look at his work & a builder who have both agreed it is totally sub standard and the promised refund never did materialise! Avoid.

Yes the Rick on the above number is the guy we had who didn't finish the job and did the job very badly, left a mess, then promised a refund that never materialised.

Yes Rick has got glowing reviews on here but there are also people like us who he didn't finish the job for and didn't clear up and promised a refund that never materialised so he's not a 'fantastic local plumber' as far as we were concerned!

Would also like to recommend Chris - we hadn't had windows cleaned for over a year and on the strength of the recommendation above Chris came round today & did all our windows inside and out and the frames and shutters and dealt with mould caused by inefficient double glazing - his quote was very reasonable and he was meticulous with finishing tiny little smudges and clearing up, definitely the best window cleaner I have come across.

What are the figures for Southwark children attending kingsdale then Landsberger? as I have children there and they have met a lot of children who are from Southwark though I don't have figures - and lots from other places to and it feels like a really good mix of kids from different areas and backgrounds in the true sense of a state school. My point is that to get into Charter these days you need to live less than 1,600 metres from the school that's not very far and hence the catchment area is increasingly limited to those who can afford housing in dulwich Village area. I think it's good to have another secondary school who take from a much broader area.

The new 'fee' not few sorry typo.

Lots of children also cycle to Kingsdale James and get trains. There is also lots of very expensive housing near to kingsdale as there is to Charter. At Charter it is often those who can afford to rent or buy in the ever shrinking catchment area that get in, buying a house in catchment for charter is becoming the 'few' to get into a state school! At least at kingsdale not every child has to live right next to the school to get in, maybe this balances out the fact that Charter does its admissions on distance.

No James I don't agree - look at charter that is distance based and the catchment has shrunk dramatically and those that can afford to move near the school can get in but those living over 1,600 metres away this year couldnt get a place. At least with Kingsdale the lottery means that children have a chance of going to a good school but don't have to live right next to the school in another expensive area! I think if Charter do their admissions on distance then the lottery system at kingsdale at least gives other children a chance.

Who are these landlords? Do u think local or remote? Those increases seem so prohibitive to local business.

Looking at all these glowing reviews it appears we have just been Unlucky but we still have an unfinished Job and the promise of a refund that never materialised. I am pleased that other people are happy as maybe we are in a minority that didn't get a good service from Rick but because of this I can't recommend him and wouldn't use again.

We are still waiting!...

Would be interested to see if you got your refund Bigsee as Rick was supposed to be refunding us ?100 but it never materialised & he never came back to finish the job either!

The post is about dog mess! Maybe grok won't mind if the dog owners who don't pick up just let their dogs shit outside his house.

Point is it shouldn't be there in first place. You own a dog should equal you pickup it's crap rather than leave it on the floor. It's anti social behaviour.

An update on our work that Rick did, as he didn't return to finish it despite being paid we have had another person round today to finish it who says the work is not of a good standard & we are now paying a second person to finish the job. I'm obviously not going to dispute other good reviews as the people who have given good reviews are obviously happy with the work done, all I can say is that our experience has not been a good one.

I can't agree with the comments on here we had Rick to do a plumbing job in our house he did the job but left some small bits to do the next day as he has to rush off, he never came back to finish despite repeated texts & calls. Eventually he promised a part refund which never materialised. Unfortunately we paid him the full amount as he insisted he would return to complete the last remaining bits of the job, lesson learnt by us. He was also over insistent that we posted a positive review on here & asked us to post on here numerous times before the job was finished.
