Hi - I just wanted to warn those travelling via East Dulwich this evening that the station is very slippery. As far as I can tell there has been no gritting or salting or anything. I arrived back from London Bridge this evening and the slope down from the Southbound platform was like an ice rink - even treading carefully I ended up flat on my back. I wasn't badly hurt (apart from my dignity)but do take care especially if you have a pram or bags/luggage. I frankly can't believe the station hasn't put down any grit when there's been so much media coverage of the impending snow.

Sorry you had a fall Diescu and hope you're ok. I would think that the train stations don't have enough staff to grit the stations and this is certainly the case all over Southwark at the moment.


I remember the salt banks dotted around Southwark years ago but they seem to have disappeared.


Hopefully it won't be too bad tomorrow!

I remember the salt banks dotted around Southwark years ago but they seem to have disappeared. - There are a few, still - outside Goodrich School, for example, and on the corner of F Hill Road/Dunstan's Road. Don't have to wait for the officials to come - just take some and spread it if you think you are doing the right thing, I'd say.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
