"I'd like to be able to speak to the staff I'd like to speak to when phoning the council, instead of having to speak to call centre staff who can't do much more than take a message."


Yes, but then the staff that you were after would spend their whole time taking calls and not being able to actually do their job. I understand the frustration, but as a LA worker (not southwark) I can understand why the call centre type system is a necessary evil.

The immediate and compulsory lopping off, chopping down or otherwise eradicating of any and all branches, boughs, bushes and leafy twigs that stray into the area of pavement designated for pedestrians by even an inch - especially those that drop down from above. If I want to walk through a fucking forest I'll go and find a fucking forest.

In a 'guilty until proven innocent' kinda fashion?


Kiera I think you may simply misunderstand what pollarding is about with London Plane trees. It's not because the tree surgeons are underfunded, lazy or stupid.


Pollarding at 3 to 6 year intervals keeps trees leafier, denser, younger, less threat to houses or passers-by and allows them to live much much longer. It limits root spread and damage to foundations.


I can see you have an instinctive born free let nature take its course approach, but you're wrong on this one - and I'm sure that I've explained this to you before.


So I guess you may not have been listening then, and probably won't listen now ;-)

Hell yey-ah. Alternatively, just fund a chainsaw for me and I'll take care of it.


A ban on heaters outside pubs, and all pubs provided with blankets for smokers instead.

    • If you mean the joinery firm that made windows and doors, it closed down several years ago and a private house was built on the site.
    • I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.
    • Yes, they sound excellent.
    • Maybe the signor in question spotted some hot jacuzzi action and just had to stop in?
