Hope my warning helped people - saw the chaos at about 8.15 this morning, including people who obviously didn't know the bus stop was going to be closed (luckily as the bus was stuck in traffic, the bus driver let them on even though the stop was closed). Thought my phone was going to die before I finished posting!

> 30" gas mains leaking gas - emergency repairs.


xxxxx


When I passed - excruciatingly slowly - on a bus last night, there were four guys in yellow jackets just standing around staring at the repair site ... with traffic jammed in both directions apparently due (in the direction heading up to the library) to a police car parked outside The Bishop at a crucial point .....

SGN have worked through the night - sorry to those living close by but better that than a gas explosion!

They pin-pointed the leak and are repaired the joint this morning. Reinstatement is underway with quick drying concrete (its not as long lasting but should last a number of years) and should be completed by lunch time Friday.

So circa 20 hours left before its fully reopened.

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
