This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd โ or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... ๐
I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points:
The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided.
An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich
My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter.
I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.
