I have at least 100 pounds to give to a local charity of their choice if spymum and dulwichmum would resolve their differences in a mudwrestle.


Will anyone else support this by pledging cash until it becomes embarassing and irresponsible for the protagonists to turn us down?


I note, with some glee, that Comic Relief is fast approaching - and we could (if supporters felt it a positive move) contact them with regards to getting the film crews down to record this moment for posterity.


We could also put snorky in the stocks, and have an old-fashioned sing song round the joanna.


Go-on, you know it makes sense!!! ;-)

Dulwich Mum! So uncharitable!


If such a gentle exertion in the name of needy local people is beyond you, then what do you suggest as an alternative?


No better way to avoid Lenny Henry than to make ones way (for example) to the cleared back room of the Mag for various sightly pursuits. ::o

Dear Bob,


This is true I fear. Has anyone ever heard of any money from this wonderful charity actually being spent locally? I myself have never heard of a single pound of 'Children in need' or 'Help a London child' money being spent locally, and I might have cause to know about it if it ever was.

BTW DM, that's a rather peculiar observation earlier - it almosts sounds like you're not helping anyone else's kids, just your own - but they hardly seem to need it (apart from a likely later need for therapy)??


You were, of course, offered the chance earlier in the thread to give my pledge to the local charity of your choice if you don't trust anyone else to do it for you? So please, don't use this as an excuse...


HALC are affiliated to Capital Radio, and their terms and application details for grants can be found here http://www.capitalradio.com/Article.asp?id=7024 if you reckon you need some dosh? Maximum request 3,000 quid. They also provide you with details of past donations on request.


Similarly you can find details of CIN donations here http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/whoyouhelp/


If you can find anyone in those lists undeserving of your help then let us know, and we'll expose these terrible organisations for the frauds they are....?

Actually, a charity I do some work recently got money from Children in Need. They work with girls who have experienced violence and abuse across London (including Southwark) and they received a grant towards their work with girls. I also know organsiations who have received Comic Relief funding althought it is very compeititive to get funding from comic relief as they have a huge number of charities applying for grants.

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
