Hi All,

Super stressful morning, after school drop off, I was walking from Goose Green park toward Co-op along the actual side that it?s on. And just as I passed that beautiful gift store a few doors before Co-op...my buggy sunk into a newly laid patch of cement that was poured on the pavement to fill a side gap of a drain lid hats sat in the middle of the footpath. Not a single sign in sight! It?s bizarre that anyone would pour cement without signage to warn the public and insane it was done in such weather. It would not have been more than a few hours old.

Anyhow, I?m thankful to the guys at the car wash...I scurried towards the car wash on the cnr of Chesterfield and Lordship Lane and they were so kind, they used their high pressure hose to clear of every last bit of the cement hat had jarred up the buggy wheel...and they did the entire set of wheels just out of kindness. My two boys loved it! Thanks again!

Went back to the wet cement and confirmed, no signage on either side approaching the wet cement.

And Southwark - please, help the people! Glad it was me and not someone in a wheelchair or with a walking cane. My mess made it very obvious to everyone else passing by today...I think/hope!

Hi Jules


I saw two guys laying cement outside Oliver Bonas at about 8:45 yesterday morning. Perhaps they were fixing reported damage in several places that day? Agree it wasn't the weather for it to set well. Sorry to hear your buggy got stuck, but glad the chaps in the car wash were kind and helped you out.

That?s the one! Oh wow!

Time Wise.. I dropped my daughter off at 8:50 and walked through that cement at 9am! I also feel bad about ruining it. Should have signed my initials. Hope it set before the torrential rain that poured down yesterday. Thanks !!

    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
