There would be the following shops on LL if I had my way:


? A good barbers. Where you can get a high quality professional haircut from a properly qualified barber for ?10, a shave for an extra fiver and read magazines in comfortable armchairs while you wait.


? A shop that stocks the various real-ales and ciders that these islands produce (and choice imports) with staff knowledgeable of their histories and production techniques.


? Tobacconists of similar ilk run by and old Chinese guy with a long white beard who also makes and sells his own fireworks and periodically blows up the laboratory behind the shop with his experiments.


? A guitar shop that restores old guitars. Run by a bad tempered but brilliant luthier and his attractive, young and musically talented female assistant.


? A garage that restores classic cars.


? 24hr pizzeria


? A place to have breakfast that is somewhere in-between a kaf and a caf? (where you can get a fry-up and a smoothie) run by big-bosomed, motherly ladies with dirty aprons who call everyone luv.


? A confectioner who bakes fresh muffins and scones every morning and does cakes to order and always smells of gingerbread.


And there are many more.

Blimey, we've well and truly wandered in to Fantasy Lordship Lane. Can we add a branch of Ollivanders so I can buy a magic wand! (Or would that make them a chain?)


Incidentally, your posting problem is caused by Viagra. >:D< Honestly! It's picked up by an anti-spam filter and words like special-ist contain the more scientific name for the drug buried in them. Why you're allowed to use the 'Viagra' word itself is a bit of a mystery.

I used to have a W123 (a 1981 electric blue 200). I loved that car! I remember taking it on the open road from Johannesburg to Cape Town a few years ago as one of the most amazing driving experiences I have ever had.

Apologies if someone has already generated a similar thread but WTF is going on at the cop shop?

If i'm not mistaken it has a proper case of concrete cancer.

Bits falling off it.

Proper dangerous.

Will that mean it gets knocked down?

If so, how long will the pigsty be out for?

How many houses can I burgle in that time?

The Cloak?

    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
