Hello all,


I lived in East Dulwich around 2015/16, and one of the things that always stuck with me was the regular sight of hand-written posters pasted up around the area, although they seemed to be mostly concentrated around Goose Green. They were neatly written, political and religious in nature, terse and sometimes cryptic in wording, and were often accompanied by newspaper cuttings. They referred to themselves as The People's Noticeboard and would say things like:


HOW MANY LUNG BREATHING THINGS WITH NOSTRILS NOT ABOVE FOUR INCHES FROM THE GROUND DIE OF LUNG CANCER? ANSWER VERY FEW.


They would often sign-off with a request for people to write to the Queen directly at Buckingham Palace. I've done some searching online but can find no reference to the posters, although this may speak more to my googling skills than any lack of existing evidence. Does anyone have any memory of these posters? Do you have picturs of them or perhaps even an original copy of one? Are they still being put up? Has anyone looked into them before? And does anyone know who was responsible for creating them? I've attached a photograph I took of one of the posters during my time there if it helps to jog memories. Any information would be of use.


Thanks,

Jamie

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
