Pretty sure that ?1.50 is the takeaway price. I didn't want this to turn into a "let's knock brick house" as I said I've not tried the buns in question. I've only shopped there a few times and when I have I've been happy with the service and the product. I also think that what they've done with the space in general is great. I just think ?1.50 for a bun is a lot.

Louisa - if I'm passing Ayres I'll buy some and let you know what I think.

I haven't tried the Brick House HCB but I have eaten the ones from Blackbird and they were far better than any supermarket bun I've ever had. They're still expensive at 70p each or 6 for ?3 but that significantly less than BH.

Whilst normally happy to embrace the free market economy within East Dulwich, even I would baulk at ?1.50 for a single hot cross bun in Brick House Bakery.

Get your facts straight Where does the sugary drinks tax go? Jamie?s restaurants are self-imposing a levy of 10p on all non-alcoholic soft drinks with added sugar The money raised by Jamie?s in-restaurant sugar levy will directly fund food education for children and similar health initiatives. This Children?s Health Fund, as we?ve named it, will be supported and administered by the charity Sustain. Formed in 1999, Sustain is the alliance for better food and farming.

Possibly but it's outside of his ward. South Camberwell I think. keane Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > That playground isa vitalocal resource used by so > many local kids & they run some really good > holiday projects for young people. Is James Barber > aware?

I don't think a one-off is likely to cause a problem. The council would only get involved if it was happening on a regular basis and causing a nuisance. Just try to be considerate and keep the smoke to a minimum and avoid bits of burnt paper ash from flying all over the neighbourhood. If you have a barbeque with a lid that would probably work quite well.

The Quietways consultations were discussed at length a while back, a thread to which you contributed. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1451849,page=1 Ongoing consultations are published here. https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/ Personally I check these on a regular basis, if they happen to come up on the forum as well all well and good.

Virgin's working fine :)

Quietways are a TfL programme undertaken to implement Boris's vision for cycling. Nothing to do with Southwark. https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/improvements-and-projects/quietways

@Foxy - why would you include the cost of heating the water when comparing costs - that has to happen regardless of having a meter. By my crude reckoning 365 baths @ 150l per bath = approx. 55 cubic metre of water = ?125 on a meter. Standing charges and other water usage on top of this but I would reckon you would still be quids in.

Is the person that wrote: "I have a massive confession. I don't really like going to pubs anymore I was bought up in a pub going extended family and the pub was central to my life for most of my teenage years and the majority of my adult life. Nowadays I can't understand the attraction of going night after night or staying out until the early hours in pubs. I don't mind going out once in a while to the pub but in general it's a boring money drain and I'd rather do something else. There. I said it. I feel liberated an am embracing my grumpy old man."

Not sure why it should be anymore difficult for water - the pipes are a similar size to gas and the meters are smaller.

It would be much fairer if we all had water meters. Why should the person who lives alone subsidise large families ?

..and your broadband provider is ?

I like the kind of buildings the architects have designed. http://fcbstudios.com/ I just hope that they are given a free hand and aren't having to work with the existing hospital. It would be great to see an inspirational building, designed for teaching and learning in the 21st century.

What a waste of CGS money.

On positive note, it could be work discussing having the new wall built straddling the line between the two properties and built to support a similar extension on your side. That way if you should ever decide to do something similar, you'd be well on the way !

The lack of an interchange between the ginger line and Brixton tube seems ridiculous to say the least.

I'd be interested to know if TfL have assessed the impact of more double-deckers on the bridge outside of North Dulwich station. Wasn't is closed for ages some years back because it needed strengthening ? Probably not an issue but just wondering..

@Jah - not sure who was first the US or the UK, this was what I got when I ordered a beer in Brooklyn last summer.

Maybe it didn't have bollos...
