Thanks for the kind welcome, ianr. To be specific, the smell has been lingering for a couple of weeks now, if not longer. It's an unpleasantly bitter odour, with sharp notes of sour rot. I recommend having a whiff for yourself as it is quite hard to describe. @DulwichFox have you any idea as to what it could be?

I Live at the Whately Rd end of Ulverscroft..


There is often bad smells at the Northcross rd. end. Stale/Old oil possibly from Chip Shop waft in the air.


Other food smells on Market day can be very unpleasant but do not reach my end.


Discarded Fish boxes left opposite the Palmerston over night..


Not Pleasant ..

The hairdresser's on North Cross Road is nowhere near Ulverscroft Road.


I have never noticed any smell outside it.


What I do notice however is a persistent faint smell of gas on North Cross Road at the mural end, near Superdrug.


I have been meaning to report it for weeks.

That's a barbers, isn't it? Are they called hairdresers now?


If so, profuse apologies for my outdated knowledge :))

Apologies, I meant outside the barbers. However, I have always used the terms' hairdressers' and 'barbers' interchangeably - is that wrong? What are the differences? Who cares? Perhaps that's a topic for another thread... But for now, the scent still doth linger and spoil the fragrance of festive cheer! Bah Humbug!

Yes!! It abated for a while, and is now back with a vengeance. It smells like vomit to me.

I'm so sorry, I think the issue could be down to my small dog, or otherwise, me. He is a black terrier cross, and I'm blonde and about 5'7". He has a constipation problem and walks like a gunslinger while I have the opposite and shuffle like I'm trying to post letters on the Generation Game. If you recognise our description approach with caution, as by Underhill Road anything could blow at any time.

      Recommended roofer (Danny)

      By markdanielallen · Posted

      Danny re-tiled and generally cleaned up the roof tiles on our front bay in SE22 a few weeks ago. He was fairly priced, and although the scope of the work changed slightly (something we couldn't have foreseen before removing the existing tiles), the price remained the same for the job. He and a colleague worked hard for three days (one more than initially planned) through pretty grim weather. With anything unexpected, he came to me with solutions rather than problems. They were polite, courteous, and left the site as tidy as they could after cutting roof tiles in the driving rain!

      roof repairs and guarantees

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Perhaps first leak was caused by a combination of faulty rendering and a hole in the felt so re-rendering was able to fix it. This course of action wouldn't solve your current problem, it does sound like a separate issue. His guarantee would only cover the rerendering not any hole in the felt. Sorry this isn't what you want to hear.

      I can't speak about other places but as someone who uses Mind in Forest Hill, these small studios are having a boom due to increased working from home.  Now I can work two days a week at home, I can use them at lunch time or early evening, it is a short walk from home so I can get changed and shower at home (so the studio does not need a big changing room or showers like a traditional gym),  whereas before Covid it would have a  been weekend only thing for me. I asume there are many like me so they can make a small space finacially viable. I am biased but Mind is great, it is a very inclusive woman friendly space, classes are very reasonable for instructor led classes, (there are different packages but you can get 10 for £100 if you oay in advance) and the fact there are very few bells and whistles keeps it affordable.   I prefer smaller studios as you don't want big classes for pilates and yoga as you need instructors to be able to see everyone and assess and adjust form for safety.
