Every now and then we have to run some maintenance on the forum to keep it healthy, unfortunately last night's expected 2 hours took 12 hours and still didn't finish so I'm going to have to do it again sometime soon.


I do usually try and give notice but a window of opportunity arose last night so I took it. Anyway you may find the forum's running a bit faster and I'm still hoping one day to be able to make it more mobile friendly, it's just finding the time.


Have a nice Friday and don't forget to wrap up as it's getting a bit cold out there.


Ps if you want the forum to run faster for you, go to the home page and click on all the 'reset new posts' link. It will of course reset all the posts so they'll not be 'new' anymore.

I'll admit; I emitted a small "Homer Simpson" type scream on "logging on" and seeing the "red" notice. Once I'd composed myself, I realised how lucky I am to have something like the EDF whenever I want. And you maintain it too, so that I may keep returning to it. So a massive THANK YOU from me too, Mr/s. Administrator. (tu)


Edited to say, perhaps Mr/s. Administrator should close the Forum down more often, if only to raise awareness of how fortunate we all are to have such a wonderful resource. Certainly, as a result of last night's maintenance, I was able to recognise just how much I take this Forum for granted.

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
