Haven't been for several years so my previous experience will be past it's sell by date and wondering if anyone's any up-to-date tips.

Mainly around accommodation, but also food plus anything else local.

Heading over in April. Will be in Tamil Nadu too, but chiefly I'm interested in Pondicherry initially.

KK you have made me incredibly nostalgic for life in India which I miss very much! Used to be able to drive to Pondi for the weekend. Afraid I'm not best placed to answer your questions as been too long ago for me also.


Villa Shanti is good, also stayed in the Dupliex, lovely old houses with traditional furniture. Will ask my friends in tamil nadu/karnataka for tips, one of them has recently returned from a weekend there.


Did you go to Auroville before?

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By first mate · Posted

      I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.

      Ring doorbell question etc

      By IlonaM · Posted

      Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?

      In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
