Found Amex card on Goose Green. PM with your name and the last 4 digits of the card number if you think it might be yours. -
I’m not sure the problems were caused by Everyone Active. They run perfectly good centres elsewhere, including the Queen Mum which until recently was my main pool. As far as I can remember the problems with the Dulwich pool started months after it was handed over to Southwark. But I might be wrong on that. I think there was a period when EA weren’t investing in it, pre hand back to Southwark, which is not surprising, but it was maintained to legal standards, I’m sure. I tried to swim at Dulwich a couple of weeks back. The water is far too hot. I would say it’s bordering on dangerous. I’m sure it’s within the tolerances etc but it is significantly warmer than JAGS (warm but still ok for session swims) which itself is way warmer than any of the other pools I swim at (Queen Mum, St Pancras, Oasis). I do wonder if all the problems they had with filters are related to the temp of the water. Peckham Pulse and Camberwell aren’t hot so I think it’s a manager decision to run Dulwich so hot. Appreciate that the pool temp has nothing to do with the showers. -

13.11.25 - Had an internal blockage in our kitchen, which I had tried to fix myself but to no avail. Found TD Plumbfix Solutions via the East Dulwich Forum and within an hour of making contact, Troy had sent one of his team to have a look. They were absolutely brilliant, from start to finish. Kept me informed of what they were doing, gave me a few tips on future do and don'ts, and finished the job in such a way that should make it easy for me to fix should the problem arise in the future. Intend using again in near future for a couple of small jobs and would wholly recommend this firm to anyone. -
Typically the way 'family run businesses' operate is either to have family members continue the business, or to sell on, either as a site (in this instance) or as a going concern. Either which way this is the way the owners create a 'pension' from the business. The number of suggestions as to alternatives makes me feel that the market for small repairing garages locally may be well served, so selling on the site makes the best financial sense for the owners. It's a sign not of the times but of normal business realities.
