Jenijenjen

I've heard on the grapevine that Casa Core reckon they'll get their money back for the very expensive refurb within a year. It seems to be doing good business.

Oh dear, I thought my comment might be misunderstood. Sorry. I am not for a moment accusing you of bullying. 😘 Serves me right for venturing into the Roads and Transport section.

If @Earl Aelfheah is trying to bully others into submission, he's failing miserably

Going by tracking information they go via Croydon and East Dulwich (Peckham) sorting offices. Round my way, and I know it varies from street to street, delivery of tracked items brought by the regular postman is mostly reliable. I've noticed if there isn't a postman doing a regular round, there may be a walking postman just delivering the tracked items.

They're taking on more and more custom previously carried out by firms such as DPD and EVRI and doing so efficiently. Yesterday I had a John Lewis parcel tracked and delivered by them. Part of me thinks it's a shrewd move on their part, without it they're not going to survive. They do need to get to grips with the ordinary mail though.

A Veolia man has just worked his way down my street digging out the weeds. Looking good. No weed killer in sight.

If you see a group of kids being obnoxious and intimidating, makes no difference whether they match a description given out over social media. They should be reported to police whether they're the same group or not. This is a case of where social media makes things very complicated.

osted 26 minutes ago "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead." Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?

Genuine question- are wild flowers/weeds better for wildlife than cultivated flowers? My cultivated flowers and their seeds attract birds, bees and all kinds of insects, maybe more so than wild flowers.

They often grow in the angle between wall and pavement which could cause damage to the foundation of the wall and leave the council open to being sued.

I belong to a group that went private but still the spam and irrelevant slipped through

It was a very low key furore. Is that an oxymoron?

Yes, I was stopped in my tracks last week by a rat that had joined a number of pigeons feeding off some food left for the birds on the path around the lake.

"Unfortunately, over the GALA period the park pond has suddenly become littered with plastic cups and bottles that have been thrown into the water (I assume thrown as not sure how else they would get in there). This may be pure coincidence but prior to last weekend the pond was clear. Does park management have a way to get onto the pond and fish all the plastic rubbish out, I wonder? It can't be good to leave it." it's been very windy the past few days, could be down to that

Yep, confirmed in this vintage EDF thread from 10 years ago. 7-11 gave way to Londis.

Or who's done what to who

And if there is a confidentiality clause within the contract regarding the amount paid, would a FOI be able to override that?

East Dulwich is very well served for green spaces although that doesn't preclude the creation of more. Just wonder where the land would come from to create new green spaces - the priority for any available land would be for housing.

Perhaps like Malumbu they compost their food waste?

"The tables outside the Blue Brick were in fact mostly within the cafe's curtilage." All the tables were placed on the pavement, not part of the cafe's curtillage any more than the pavement outside my house is a part of my curtillage. There are no signs of demarcation like studs or different paving which is usual. I believe though many cafe's were awarded licenses by the council during the pandemic allowing tables to be placed on the pavement. "Yes, Jenijenjen [your 'real name', obvs], I have posted over a number of years. Say what you intend clearly about these previous posts, so that other readers can judge, rather than alluding to them obscurely as if they somehow invalidate the matter I raise here. Good grief." Blimey, you're reading something into this post that really isn't there and was not intended. No hidden agenda, merely an observation.

Perhaps, but in keeping with style and content of Lee's previous posts over the years Edit: prepositions changed. Makes a change from pronouns eh?

I had no reaction this time apart from a sore arm at injection point

I would disagree that the tables outside the Blue Brick bothered nobody. They were not within the cafe's curtilage (one table was even placed on the other side of the road!) but on a narrow public footpath where pedestrians have a "public right of way". Added to that, some customers rearranged the tables so the footpath was blocked completely.

I had the covid vaccination at TJ a couple of weeks ago or so and checking the card they gave me it says Spikevax which is Moderna. Edit: just seen you had your jab in the pharmacy whereas I had mine in the first floor premises arranged by ECPS. I have heard/read that all vaccinations are Moderna this time round.
