  1. Get rid of and donate https://www.getridofit-donate.com/
  2. In a time when there have been devastating cut backs to council funding, I don't see a problem with the council's efforts to raise money for the greater good.
  3. As a middle class elderly* frequent user of Park and Common I agree with @Cyclemonkey especally about the area of the park in question being less used. (*I do like a good winge too but not about this)
  4. Yet there seems to be good communication with other GP practices. A couple of times I've phoned my GP FHRGP and been given same day appointments with EPCS. Also, if TJGP claim shortage of staff, is it because the conditions offered make it unattractive for GPs to work there?
  5. Still in Nunhead, the vandalised but restored remains of the Anglican Chapel in the cemetery would make a good subject, also the entrance gates in Linden Grove. Love your paintings.
  6. I think there may be a glitch in the tech sometimes. I received a text out of the blue from them a couple of months ago which made no sense but I complied and embarked on a series of actions that led nowhere and had no conclusion. I find the reception staff mainly very helpful and polite and one or two have certainly bent over backwards to help though I'm sure many people find otherwise.
  7. Similarly, while I agree this level of service is appalling and the practice should be held to account, they probably are paying rent on the premises so not exactly gifted them.
  8. Isn't this discussion more appropriate for The Lounge?
  9. Yes Duck Egg. I'd forgotten about them though I can visualise the precise shade of blue of their fascia board. Weren't there long
  10. Sue - I think you must be thinking of Grace and Favour which was where Forest is now, previously Luca. It seems that Willow on the corner has now vacated
  11. This is based on my memory only and so perhaps not very reliable but I thought the butcher was one of the casualties when Sainsbury's opened (1993?). They tried to carry on as wholesalers only for a while but this wasn't successful, perhaps because they made a lot of noise at 6am and perhaps there were complaints. There may have been a gap between the butchers vacating and Transylvanian Express opening but not sure.
  12. Saibsburys DKH has a food collection point located at the front of the store behind the tills
  13. Why is it not be possible to have a box installed on the front wall internally and externally and then make a wireless connection, perhaps with a booster, with the middle room as you were originally told? Admittedly my knowledge is very limited but I'm able to get a wireless connection from the box and router in the front room to my kitchen at the back. Replacing an underground cable seems unnecessary when wireless is available.
  14. If the situation isn't rectified to your satisfaction within say 7 days I would name the estate agents here.
  15. I thought Foxtons had managed to extend the boundary of East Dulwich to include all of Bellenden Road but later decided it was a part of Peckham all along and named Bellenden Village.
  16. There are very many council tax payers in Southwark who do not have the luxury of a garden, even in East Dulwich, and it would be unreasonable to expect them to subsidise the lucky ones who do.
  17. There is a lack of student accommodation in London, according to this article there are 4 students chasing every student bed so there is a need. Suspect it's a case of if they build it they will come to east Dulwich rather than a case of students already in East Dulwich moving in. https://www.standard.co.uk/business/london-student-housing-shortage-research-a-level-results-b1100984.html
  18. Sir Charles Barry and his son Charles Barry Junior were both architects for Dulwich College. Junior designed many buildings for the College including the new College itself, Dulwich Library, North Dulwich Station and the sadly disappeared High Level station at Crystal Palace. He was responsible for the initial designs for Dulwich Park but the final designs were by JJ Sexby, Chief Parks Officer for the LCC. There was a track there long before it became Barry Road.
  19. I'm surprised to learn it's a council building. And yes, agree with previous poster, it's better being used as some kind of housing than being left empty. What was the nature of the disturbances?
  20. Anyone else having problems with o2 network today?
  21. I thought it was just going to be a change of ownership? Can't say I'm surprised, I gave up on them a couple of years ago. Communication was appalling and the layout of the store too claustrophobic not helped by lack of daylight. Shame if it ceases to be a chemist/pharmacy because that's what it's been for a very very long time.
  22. While most open spaces have been around for a long time, they are constantly evolving and require constance maintenance. As for outsourced services, they are still services provided by the council although fulfilled by others. It is the council who oversee the quality of the outsourcing and if the quality isn't good enough they are terminated as in the case of Everyone Active.
