I posted a thread last week about Streetbank - a new website dedicated to helping communities lend, borrow and give away things and skills to their neighbours - and there's been a really encouraging response from people who've had a look at the site and signed up. The latest person to sign up has a 1 and 3 year old daughter - and has recently posted clothes to give away to a good home.


Really hope we get more and more members as word gets round...takes 3 minutes to sign on and who knows where it might lead...free stuff, more work/business opportunities - less waste - perhaps you'll even make a new friend or two in the process.... www.streetbank.com

I just wanted to give an update on Streetbank.com which is now really starting to take off in East Dulwich.


We've recently seen sombrero hats and piano's being lent and given away (in that order) and there have also been some very happy tales of new friendships forming as a result, too.


The more people who join, the better the site becomes so do please spread the word if you can. It's so easy to join and is a great way to bring communities together - as well as save money and energy too, of course.


Facebook, twitter and LinkedIn status updates for those who've joined seem to work really well. With each new member, the site becomes a little more useful and much more fun, too.

    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise 
    • Ugly...maybe..does it bother me..NO! I think its somehow reassuring to see theres still phoneboxes around. East Dulwich may  be getrified but there may well be some elderly people who don't have mobiles and kids who may have lost theirs adults ditto etc etc. I'd rather keep it than lose it...just because i don't use it does'nt mean its not needed.  there are many eyesores in the modern world not all of them as potentially useful.
    • I strongly recommend Balayage salon in Lordship lane as everytime I visit,they make me feel very spicial with thier profisionalism and care.   I have been going there for the last 10 years maybe more, and will never exchange them for any other. They are profisional, welcoming and they also always have an offer. I feel like a new woman every time. X
