@JosephineB - hang on in there, my partner is on same bus and apparently there is another numpty bus driver refusing to move and blocking the entire road; apparently the police have just shown. I guess you would be able to see that as well! Are the buses actually going up/down Dog Kennel Hill do you know?

Can't we all salt our own drives/paths etc? We bought huge 10 kilo sacks of NaCl from last time (pennies) - and have them outside the front door. We'd be really happy (and i think the girls would think it a lot of fun) if we came and salted anyone's drives etc who couldn't do it themselves.


If you'd like us to come round please just pm - payment only a smile and a ta! :))

It was hell driving down Lordship lane last night, really scarey.


Tommorow our German exchange student returns home and I have to get him to a waiting coach at his school. I expect the coach wont be there and the school will be closed. I expect Eurostar will have stopped working. My first problem is to actually drive the car to the school. I had to abandon it last night in a better used local road. Last year our road was never gritted and my car was stuck in its parking place for two weeks until the thaw.


I could attempt to get him direclty to St Pancras by train, but we know the trains wont be working, dont we.


Meanwhile the student comes from a place that is fifteen below freezing and yet full functioning. He must think we are all idiots.

Openned the front door to find my Zimmer expecting to get the hand grips warmed up ready, but it is not to be seen as the snow has covered it.

So thats it, no amble along to the Food Kitchen for me today.

Oxo for dinner and more hot water on the tea bag.

I wonder how that chap is getting on who lost his home?

I have solved my problem, in the cupboard under the worktop I keep tins, I cant bend down to look so I poked about in there and a couple of tins came out, one tin is custard the other part of the label had long since fallen off it is dated on the end best before 14/02/2000. I got my wife to get down there to see if any other tins are there, she said there are several but they had rusted and the contents have spilled out and were stuck to the bottom of the cupboard.

I have opened the tin it looks and smells O.K. Looks like stewing steak the part of the label left says Wis that?s all.

I am getting the step stool for my wife to lean on to help her get to her feet, I will cook the Steak for my wife I will make do with the custard.

My wife ate the steak but could not place the flavour made by any manufacturer.

Well that saved us but the cats can just look on wanting something I thought the wife might leave a little, they can lick my custard dish.

P.S. Thanks for the offers of help.

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
