Oh my, I'm so very sorry for your loss Ruth.


I can only echo the sentiments expressed here.


Simon was a firm favourite of mine and his thoughtful, insightful contributions will most certainly be missed, but above all it was his warm, wry sense of humour that shone through.


My sincerest condolences

Piers

Thank you all so much for your condolences and the lovely tributes. Although Simon's life was limited physically it seems he has touched and inspired many people both face-to-face and on the internet.


John K - I'd love to know more about Simon and Victor!


Laddy muck, you have a pm


The cremation will be in Doncaster on 17th January. We've asked for family flowers only. If anyone would like to make a donation in Simon's memory, the charities he supported are


St Georges Hospital Kidney Patients Association www.sgkpa.org.uk


National Association of Deafened People www.nadp.org.uk


Celia Hammond Animal Trust www.celiahammond.org

Before I took my first great leap into this abyss and posted, I took great pleasure in his much missed wit. I believe that his last post ended with

"There's very little storage and no off-road car parkng".

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
