How are you supposed to clean them? I don't have any but you never know what's around the corner, do you? One likes to be prepared.


Noticed some 'chandelier cleaner' in one of the LL shops (where else?) but I think there must be some element of human effort needed too. There always is.

But no chandelier is too high or too dirty for her*

Ermm....


There's a bit of a "camel toe" going on there or is it a "hot dog"


I never can remember.


What's your * ahem * view maxxi ?



NETTE:-$

Don't be vulgar Nette dear.


They didn't have camels then.


That is padding to act against 'branch-chafing' when tackling an open-armed candelabra of the type favoured by the better class of Music Hall.


If you look closely you will see the talented Dulmum is preparing to ascend to the Palladium No. 3 Chandelier whilst dancing the higland fling (she will do anything for an extra thruppence three-farthing).

Thanks all for your brilliant suggestions, who'd have thought there were so many ways to clean chandeliers? I did laugh out loud at how they are done in the Quiet Room.


I'm wondering if I could use small children as servants* and send them to the garage to use the pressure thingy. They might be cheaper than cleaners on here and than karter's hourly rate.


I can't sing.


* you certainly could in the 80s as I distinctly remember thinking it was great having younger brothers around, if not to fetch and carry, what on earth were they for?

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
