Who can afford the prices charged by Toad bakery, haven't they heard their is a cost of living CRISIS???????

Not a queen either

Thanks for the update.

Joe, Firstly thank you for having taken over the forum. Had you not it is more than likely it would have ceased to be. Thank you for maintaining the site Thank you for the upgrades you have done Thank you for all the time and effort you put in of your time to keep this local and valuable resource running. And finally, Thank you Joe for all your hard work.

Not my King! Not my Prime Minister!! Not my country anymore!!!

"FT | Chippenham earn the win and we are relegated from the National League South after five years. Thank you to the fans for your support this afternoon, you were exceptional as you have been all season. #Hamlet 0-1 #Bluebirds" acknowledgement to the Horniman Heights, Sad to hear that our local team, Dulwich Hamlet have been relegated from the National League South. 😢

Agreed, Penny is fantastic as the Advance Nurse Practitioner there.

Has anyone, anything positive to say about Forest Hill road Group Practice or is still the shambles it has been for a considerable amount of time, I hear nothing but bad things said by people about this practice. Please say if it has got any better or does it need urgent treatment itself. Shame their isn't an A&E for poorly run surgeries!!!!!

Lunchtime today 27/04/23 Three checkouts being staffed, change of shift took place, smooth switchover and turning round customers fairly quickly Self service checkouts at the far end, busy with a queue. Other self checkout running reasonably. Milk in stock, Some cheeses moved to end of isle but no indication anywhere that they have been moved. A bit low on some fruit and veg. In store baked bread running low, although the lady baker who runs the bakery section has much improved how it operates. Thankfully the old dear in that section has long gone and it is now run by a truly lovely lady baker, she is happy to engage with customers, is always happy and smiling, a pure delight to deal with and a real credit to the bakery. If you're there say hello to here. Outside, the guy who collects the trollies is always happy and always aims to please customers so trolley's are available. Everything I needed was in stock, so nothing to whinge about.

Someone's a whizz with a keyboard!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta say, it's probably the most entertaining first post, a new poster has posted on this forum, which brings a wry chuckle on a cold, grey, damp, now wet Monday afternoon in SE23. Looks like any swinging activity on the Hill of Honour (as it was once called) will have to wait till they are maybe restored or replaced?

Alternative shops exist for fish, meat, cheese and deli products assuming you do not want to pay the over the top prices charged by Mons, Moxons and Roses. Just need to shop around and take your custom to retailers who vale your custom and who look after you. This is turning into an upmarket version of the poundland thread, just this time it's all about a nw takeaway

Status alert for route P13 Thanks for your update, much appreciated. Just checked the TfL website which states; https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/status/?Input=P13+towards+Streatham+Station&lineIds=p13&startDate=2023-04-24T00%3A00%3A00&endDate=2023-04-24T23%3A59%3A59&dateTypeSelect=Future+date&direction=inbound "BELLENDEN ROAD,SE15; From 08:00-17:00 (DAILY) on 24, 25 and 26 April route P13 is diverted in both directions due to resurfacing works. Stops Blenheim Grove to Pytchley Road are not served." It will be on diversion, so it WILL be running but along an amended route till the roadworks are complete. I'd hazard a guess that it will do Rye Lane, Peckham Rye, East Dulwich Road, Goose Green, Grove Vale to and from Sainsbury's, where towards Streatham it will revert to the normal route towards Streatham.

Durham is nothing less than idyllic, a beautiful city with a lovely castle, Cathedral and town centre. Go a little further up the NE coast to another beautiful town, Tynemouth, and the further along the NE coast you go, the more you discover what an absolute gem that it is. If it was not as wet and cold as it is in Autumn and Winter, I'd move like a shot. And as has been said Sussex is another place to consider relocating too.

I hope the transition goes smoothly for you Joe, I have tried logging into the new website that you provided a link for but it will not allow me to log in. Good luck with tonight.

FOREST HILL ROAD,SE22; From 07:00 Wednesday 05 April until 17:00 Monday 10 April, route 63 is operating from Kings Cross to Peckham Rye and there is no service from Peckham Rye to Honor Oak due to Thames Water works. Buses towards Kings Cross will depart at Nigel Road (stop WM on Peckham Rye). FOREST HILL ROAD,SE22; From 07:00 Wednesday 05 April until 17:00 Monday 10 April, Routes 363 and N63 are on diversion due to Thames Water works. Buses towards Crystal Palace will miss stops from Friern Road to Underhill Road. Buses towards Peckham will miss stops from Underhill Road/Melford Road to Friern Road. Use the stops Lordship Lane/Wood Vale, The Gardens or Peckham Rye/Barry Road. Buses are diverted via Barry Road and Lordship Lane I did see 363's running in the direction towards Crystal Palace at lunchtime today from Underhill rd into Lordship Lane. In the opposite direction they where definitely on diversion down Lordship Lane and Barry Road.

Who cares, it's more gossiping by people who have nothing better to do about something that is unimportant and irrelevant. Probably the same crew who slagged off Poundland opening on Lordship Lane, get a life for dears sake.

Yes it is very sad news, he was a charming man, and he was only 67, way too young.

The accounts make very interesting reading, specially those dated March - September 2019,

Apparently there is no national standardisation of veterinary charges, surprised that is the case, they can charge what ever they like and "get away" with.

Much prefer Shaun's DIY on Grove Vale. If you go through the main shop an Aladdin's cave awaits you out the back.

Coffee being a supposed luxury is laughable, make it yourself at home. We all have a choice where we shop, what I see is people with more money than sense sitting in coffee shops and paying exorbitant prices for the pleasure. We're in the midst of a cost of living crisis, surely what you need surpasses what you want, unless of course you're trying to keep up with the "Jones's" Totally agree with Louisa's sentiment, and I'm more than happy that Louisa continues to have access to all the options on the forum we all have,

Blame all the supermarkets who sell fruit and veg in plastic bags which is cheaper than fruit and veg in their natural skins, madness!!!!!!!
