Just in case people dont know, but there is a "free of charge" cash machine in the post office (next to the drycleaners) down the dulwich library end of LL - however this will mean that you have to venture into the "crappy parts of ED" (see previous threads :)
It should be pointed out as well that the machine lordship_bod mentions is a new machine which, whilst an improvement on the old ZX Spectrum they were using, is often out of action but not obviously so. Ie no messages but it keeps you waiting for nearly 5 minutes before saying Operation Timed Out
what about the cash points at sainsburys? i cant however guarantee the the money from them is organic locally produced stuff so obviously not suitable for a lot of forumites,and one would probably have to drive there,hence leaving a carbon footprint and even worse than that one might be tempted to actually go into the place. shit what was i thinking of just forget everything i said.

Beware of the right hand HSBC card hungry machine. Both myself, and a friends girlfriend have lost cards in that hole in the wall. .Card goes in then the thing reboots "press F2" etc etc. card stays in and machine sits on standby. Lucky for me (and also quite bizarrely) while shouting and thumping it a voice from within asked me if my card was stuck. The talking machine turned out to be someone locking up so i got the card back but it was just luck that I got it back.

Went to Somerfield tonight and tried to get ?50 cashback, but was told I could only have ?20 because the management had been asked so many times for large amounts of cashback because of the cruddy state of affairs with the cashpoints nearby. The assistant said it was the first time this had happened and would probably not last longer than today. Nero

    • We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.
    • Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely. 
    • My view is that any party that welcomes a self-declared Marxist would merit a negative point.
