Other stuff:


I have started shopping at Vals up at the Plough. Despite being a teeny weeny shop, they do seem to have things you can't get in other places.


Also, I have recently taken to saying (a la Dulwich mum); "I nearly inhaled my own vomit!"

I've become a bit more involved in the community and have been able to get my points of view across on certain issues, but have also become more addicted to using the internet, which I see as a downside. I think I get riled more by certain things as I know now that others do too and that when I vent, there is likely to be support for that venting, which makes me feel even more self-righteous! Nero

Based on the one time I bought veg there, one of the things they do that you don't get elsewhere is potatoes that are, just beneath the surface, bright green.


Agree that it's a nice little place but I wouldn't go for the "fresh" veg again...

and whoever said any of us weren't entitled to an opinion?


disagreeing with each other's opinions has long been the lifeblood of this place - otherwise everyone would post theirs', that would be that and we could all have an early night!

    • I just checked the Southwark Council website and it stated:   All responses to the consultation will be recorded and a ‘consultation findings’ report will be published once feedback has been reviewed. The review process involves collating feedback from a number of council teams and external agencies - the aim will be to publish the report as soon as possible after the consultation has closed and no later than the 31 January 2026. The report will be published on this site. The use of bold type on the date is the Council's, not mine. They are late. I wonder why?
    • I would also like to recommend Leon, who completed an EICR inspection for us. He kept us informed of his arrival time on the day and arrived promptly as promised. He was knowledgeable and clear about what work was required. I would happily recommend him and would not hesitate to use his services again.
    • It's not far from Lordship Lane if you cut down Ashbourne Grove/Melbourne Grove. Depends where you start from, I guess!
    • I doubt if it was something special - it has been full a few times I've been recently and when I have been able to get a space I've been lucky and bagged the only one available. I think there are only around 15 general spaces. Others are for staff, blue badge holders or EVs. I guess in winter people are more likely to drive, it wouldn't take much to fill all the spaces with the different things going on at the surgery/pharmacy such as blood tests, picking up prescriptions. It's possible a lot of the cars are in and out in 15 mins, i've not monitored it closely. This morning with all spaces filled when I arrived there were a couple of cars loitering in the hope of a space becoming available. I didn't want to risk it. As has been said, you can drive in and out and be caught on camera and not get a ticket but I'm not sure what the grace period is, if there is one.  Like you, I don't think a significant number of people are parking there to go shopping - it's too far from Lordship Lane as I found out this morning when i had to run from LL to Tessa Jowell! i guess the car parking spaces just can't cope with the number of legit drivers using Tessa Jowell and if that's the case not a lot can be done about it.
