Primrose Hill is a touch further to get to than Dawson's Heights though. I can walk out my door and have possibly the best panoramic view of London in 5 minutes. I wonder if the inhabitants of the estate there appreciate the good views?

On a depressing note, I remember a friend of my dad's who threw himself off the top of there. Not a nice way to go! I was only about 10-12 I guess, so late 80's / very early 90's.

Those paths are a nightmare!!!!! When you're getting of a train from London Bridge (can't remember the platform number), and coming down that path there are a few steps towards the bottom. I REALLY WISH THEY'D PAINT THE EDGES OF THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE A DEATH TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :X

In these wonderful days of noone on the railways being responsible for anything as far as i can tell, the train companies bear always seem to sidestep responsibilty for the state of the stations, but at a pinch I think itlies somewhere between southern trains and network rail.

Having just had a look at their websites which should win some sort of obfuscation awards (DAFTAs?) I can offer use these nuggets

I've used it in the past and only received automated responses bearing no relation to my question, you have been warned.


What is it about wednesdays that make me acerbic?

acerbic (ə-s?r'bĭk) pronunciation also a?cerb (ə-s?rb')

adj.


1. Sour or bitter tasting; acid.

2. Sharp or biting, as in character or expression: ?At times, the playwright allows an acerbic tone to pierce through otherwise arid or flowery prose? (Alvin Klein).


[From Latin acerbus.]


just thought I put that there to save others having to look it up

An alien spacecraft in central London...


may be quite clearly discerned on broghter days when progressing along Underhill Road, with the cemetery on your right. Officially it is just the Telecom Tower perfectly aligned behind the London Eye but TPTB must think we born yesterday to swallow that one...

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
