Hi all,


Is anyone else having problems with their water today? The water went off for about 30-60 mins yesterday lunchtime and this morning the pressure is low.


Thames Water live [http://www.thameswater.co.uk/thameswaterlive/index.htm[ is reporting a leak at Wood Vale/Lordship Lane so this might be affecting the supply to the bottom of Underhill I suppose.

Just phoned Thames Water : there is a burst main in Sydenham Hill SE23 which is having a knock-on effect in SE22 and affecting a wide area. They confirm that engineers on site. See latest updates on thameswater.co.uk 'network latest'

The customer services rep at Thames Water said that the Live Map wasn't very 'live'! She directed me to 'network latest' which I haven't found yet...


Looking at the Live Map - it has been updated - big red area covering bottom half of Underhill/Melford/Wood Vale/bottom Overhill - with news that repair is underway.

No water at all at top end of Upland rd but a neighbour has spoken to Thames water in the last few minutes & they said that even though they will not finish repairs today, we should have running water in about an hour as they're going to reroute it.
Just got a similar update from TW, they are trying to reroute and inject water into the system, both so they can get the water on and repair the leak, but "it's not going quite to plan". Aim is still to get water back on by this afternoon.

By now I really ought to know to start stockpiling water towards the August! This happens so often at this time of year. Anyone remember the 3 day drought of 2003??!

I know it's not entirely Thames Water's fault but they could handle these incidents better with accurate & consistent updates.

Hi,

I am on Lordship Lane Lane Estate and we have nothing at all- I have overheard neighbours saying the same thing. Does anyone know how long this might be for, as in most likely and worst case? Obviously the last thing they tried did not work. Has anyone had any communication about this from anyone? Before when this has happened they brought around bottles of water- will they do that again? I am not very well, would love a shower but more urgent than that do not have much drinking water left. Do I need to be asking someone to bring me something around- I do not want to ask anyone to change their plans to help me out if it will be back on soon...

Thanks in advance

Hi

We live on L Lane opposite Dulwich library & have been without water since early this morning, but in the

last 5 mins our kitchen tap has started running again- v low pressure trickle, but it's something...

Fingers crossed this is the start of things going back to normal, as it's been a dismal bank holiday

here with a poorly baby and a potty training toddler!

Let's hope....!

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate.
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
