@malumbu - it was more of a question than a statement and as for a profession, I'm workin' class I'll 'ave you know.

I've not been to the dentist for about 5 years so it was with some trepidation that I booked a checkup at a local dentist surgery (that I won't name). I was happily given the all clear but recommended to visit the hygienist to remove the tartar. I went with this and paid the ?21.60 for the Level 1 treatment. I've booked into the hygienist (which will cost another ?40-50, not NHS) but strictly, the dentist should have included a scale and polish in the Level 1 and I shouldn't have to pay any more. One of the reasons I stopped going to the dentist was because a while back another local dentist used to charge me for the Level 2 treatment when all I had was a checkup and scale and polish. When I queried this with the receptionist afterwards they said it was a much more comprehensive de-scaling that was covered by the Level 1 and hence the Level 2 charge. It just feels like they're ripping you off, perhaps because in London they NHS Level 1 charge of ?21.60 doesn't provide enough profit. https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/dental-health/how-much-will-i-pay-for-nhs-dental-treatment/

Thanks to another forum member, I've been sent a link to the same car advertised on Gumtree (with mobile number) so no longer an issue.

Hi - I'm trying to contact a new forum user about a car they are selling. I've posted on their thread and sent them two PM's but so far no response - it doesn't look like they've accessed the forum since posting the advert. Is it possible to have their email address so that I could mail them directly - I was wondering if the EDF notifications are going to spam. User is tlawless and this is their post. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?9,1959788,1959788#msg-1959788

Any possible access from the ceiling of the room below (the kitchen ?). A smallish square of plasterboard cut out and then the floorboards removed from below could be another option. Certainly not ideal but less aggro than the hole in the wall I would have thought.

Hmm. No easy answer as far as I can see. I would have thought accessing from the outside is going to be pretty tricky. I assume that this is not ground floor so would require working up a ladder or a platform of some sort and the external wall is likely to be a brick length in depth so breaking through that to make a big enough hole to access the pipework is going to be far from simple. If it was me I'd bite the bullet and have the bath removed and replaced internally though I can see this would cause more upheaval as towel radiator is likely to have to be temporarily removed.

Just alerting people to this as it doesn't seem to have received a lot of coverage. Biggest RAF flypast over London, in recent times, over 100 aircraft. https://secretldn.com/raf100-flypast-london-route-map/ Tuesday @ 1pm

And here I was thinking this thread was about getting the elusive Jah out of hibernation.

Thanks Mark - that's useful info.

But if outdoors, how can it differentiate between cats, foxes, pigeons etc and people ? I don't want to be woken up on holiday just to watch wildlife ? If indoors then the damage - the breaking and entering is already done.

What's your opinion on Home Surveillance Cameras / CCTV ? Does it act as a deterrent to burglary or not ? I'm thinking not much - surely most modern day opportunist burglars would just cover their heads and faces wouldn't they ? If the camera is accessible then wouldn't they just rip it off the wall (or wherever) ? In the absence of any kind of alarm, would it have to be combined with some kind of movement sensor to be of any use so that you could be alerted when away from home ? Interested in what others think.

According to the Post Office London County Suburbs Directory, 1919, 2 Adys Road was a Grocers owned by a Joseph King. http://specialcollections.le.ac.uk/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p16445coll4/id/8847/rec/18 (Page 11)

You may not be aware of the impending Southwark Spine changes that will increase parking pressure along its route. The council are pushing this through in spite of the majority of the Consultation respondents being against it. Total loss of on-street parking spaces across Adys, Oglander, Crystal Palace, Goodrich and Landells Roads = 55 http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=6454

Public Service Announcement In case you didn?t know there are no trains from East Dulwich over the Bank Holiday weekend due to engineering works that I would expect includes the bridge replacement on Bellenden Road. From Southern: Buses replace trains between London Bridge and Tulse Hill from Saturday 26 until Monday 28 May Date: 25 May 11:00 PM - 28 May 2018 10:59 PM Routes affected: Between London Bridge and Caterham / Beckenham Junction / Crystal Palace / East Croydon via Tulse Hill Engineering work is taking place between South Bermondsey and Tulse Hill, closing all lines. As a result, buses will replace trains between London Bridge and Tulse Hill.

I do wonder if there are more about. We've had one in the garden this year for the first time ever, to our knowledge at least. And I found one in the fro.t garden compost bin yesterday. Never had one in there before. And no, we don't put cooked food in it, just plant and veg waste.

Total gridlock this evening (wasn't great this morning), from Burger King/Lidl right back along Bellenden/Highshore/Lyndhurst in both directions because Bellenden is completely closed between Holly Grove (Ganapati corner) and Blenheim Grove due to railway bridge replacement. Sign says its going until early June. Avoid if you can.

I noticed that 65 is David Greig (grocers) which I think is now Tart (previously Le Chardon) and I think the name is still in the mosaic tiles in the doorway.

I found these directory entries from the Post Office London County Suburbs Directory via the Leicester University website http://specialcollections.le.ac.uk/cdm/landingpage/collection/p16445coll4 They list all the businesses including the type of business on Lordship Lane in 1917. I found them interesting - I hope you do too.

In my experience the charge for parking between from 12 to 2 doesn't work that well to deter commuter parking. I know of people that park all day and text in at 12 to pay the charge for the 2 hours.

Loving this. Good album too.

Not SE22 but I love the Kevin Bacon from Small White Elephant on Choumert Road.

Helen Hayes is intending on a parliamentary debate
