Plusnet is very good. Very reliable, fast and apparently good customer service - but tbh I have never had to use it.

I’ve found the food there the best (for us) of the local Indian offerings. I appreciate others may disagree etc. all the sauces are made off separate bases and they have nice little flavour touches - fresh herbs, whole spices etc.

This is basically Gymkhana, transplanted into East Dulwich. Food is superb. Wine list is fair. Cocktails lovely. Atmosphere buzzy. Popadoms, 3 starters, 2 mains, 1 pilau rice, a pershwari naan and some potatoes. 2 cocktails, 2 wine. £136, incl service. So it isn’t cheap, but for the quality of the food and drinks I would say it’s pretty good value. We will be back! (But it won’t replace Memsaab as our go to curry house). It’s a very different proposition to the tandooris on the high street. And a very welcome addition to the neighbourhood, in my book.

From memory the pavement in from of the shops and restaurants on the east side of LL is actually owned by the leaseholders and Southwark are not responsible for it. Or not for the majority of it. Thus coordination of any repair etc is very hard. The pavement is very uneven and puddles have been a problem for years when it rains. I’ve been here 15 years. And it was always an issue. the leaves - they used to get swept up but there’s no money for that now. Personally I’d rather see them spend money on maintaining and cleaning the pavements instead of traffic consultations. I once suggested - when they were canvassing for ideas - that the cleaner greener safer fund could be directed towards keeping the pavements clear and safe but it was carefully explained to me that that isn’t what the fund is for!!! write to whoever you like. Good luck. And I mean that!

Thank you. I am resident. If it's only 90p / swim then I'm good to go. If it's £5.50, I can't afford it. I'll find out which it is and report back in case anyone else is interested. Shame they can't just put the information on the website. Still, the exercise going down there will do me good ;-)

Can’t find out on the website without registering and downloading an app etc. Just wondering how much a swim is if you pay as you go? ta

Went with these in the end. Thanks all for the recommendations.

Is it the fan inside the oven that’s making the noise or the fan that extracts? If the outside one make sure there isn’t a pea / bit of pasta etc in there. Just look and if you can see something get it out if you can. With checking the inside one for debris and obstructions too - when the oven is completely cool, obviously.

Never scrapped a car before. Not sure what to do. Can anyone offer any advice on how, who, where etc? Much appreciated in advance.

Does that mean they now open at 11?

I work for VCCP, the largest independent advertising agency in the UK. We make ads and buy media for the likes of Compare The Market, easyJet and Cadbury, Krispy Kreme, Calloway, Abbot Diabetes Care, Walkers crisps and Princess Yachts and everything in between. We run an annual program called The Table. It provides a paid job to people who want to get into advertising and media. You do not have to have a degree. But you must be new to the advertising industry. More details on what it is and how to apply here https://www.vccp.com/applications-for-the-table-are-now-open Good luck to anyone who applies.

Sorry - I’ve been away for a couple of weeks. Thanks for helpful suggestions above. Turns out, if you haven’t received your subscription pack and sticker you need to email [email protected] stating:- Your name (subscriber) Address (subscribed) The transaction reference from the email you received confirming payment (mine is 2 numbers, a dash and five numbers) and / or the reference number from the Payment Complete page from the website (mine is GW- followed by six numbers). If only there was a website where they could put this information - would have saved me 30 mins on the phone this am 🙂 Good luck.

Paid for the brown bin service back in February. Still no sticker. Southwark website advises I contact them, but provides no contact details I can find except for emergency contacts for things like gas leaks. It’s definitely not an emergency. Any ideas on who to email? Phone? Any other tips? Anyone else not received their sticker? Thanks in advance for any info.

That is very precise. I guess that’s when it went off and they have 24 hours maybe? Anyway I’m on Bawdale and everyone’s off apart from Virgin customers. So suggests it’s a BT/exchange problem.

Thanks for this. Looked at it but it doesn't mention the job outside my place, sadly, so still none the wiser there, but it does indicate that we are getting the road resurfaced work starting 15th Feb. Link to the page for details 404s, naturally.

Very many of the sessions free up an hour or two before they start. So sessions that were full a few days out, will in fact have space if you look an hour or so before the session starts. You should be fine for last minute swims. Also - they do not police the lanes, so if there's space in medium or fast, just book it and go in the slow lane when you get there. I've never, ever, seen the lanes actually full in any session since the booking things started.

Several street bins have been removed. There was a bin ... - at the corner of North Cross Road and Lacon Road - gone - at the corner of North Cross Road and Fellbrigg Road - gone - outside the parade of shops on Whateley Road - gone (and now the dog poo bin opposite is overflowing with normal rubbish) - on the corner of Upland Road and Crystal Palace Road - gone - on Lordship Lane by the traffic lights outside Spinache - gone Anyone know why? Or how / who to contact at the council? Apologies if there's another thread - I looked but couldn't find one.

Hello, is there any way or anywhere to find out about a job Conway are doing for Southwark? There's a parking suspension notice and a Conway barrier outside my house, but the dates on the notice make no sense (22/2/22 - 29/11/22) and give no details of the works planned. I've looked on Southwark's and Conway's websites and tried to speak to someone at Southwark, to no avail. Any ideas / advice?

There?s parent and baby sessions at East Dulwich. The water there is very warm. Beckenham Spa also has sessions for babies in a special small pool and it?s like a bath! Don?t know anything about FH, sorry

Hello. I work at VCCP, the advertising agency behind Compare The Market, O2, easyJet, Cadbury's, Dominoes, Go Daddy, Organic and may other brands. Ad School is a week-long work experience opportunity for people aged 18+. The idea is to challenge the stereotype of normal work experience where you might shadow somebody or make tea/coffee, and instead give the Ad Schoolers a week of insight into life at an Ad agency and a live brief for them to work through. There's more info on the week here https://www.vccp.com/news/2022/apr/apply-to-ad-school-2022 and applications are open now and close next Friday 20th May - here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdLOdkvEF22xGcd8y8E_v_hbU3ACNG09zxCWtf9z462r0K7BA/viewform NB: it is a Google form, so you need a google account to log-in and complete the form. Applicants don't need any level of experience to apply, the week will run from 20th - 24th June and applications close on the 20th May. Our offices are just off of Victoria Street (185 bus or direct train from Denmark Hill). I hope this is helpful to someone interested. Good luck!

Looked to me like they were clearing out. They were removing tiles that had been fitted. I guess they were actually removing ones that had been incorrectly laid to relay them properly. Very much looks like it is indeed opening, going past there tonight.
