Join local history expert and local legend Brian Green for this illustrated talk on Dulwich in World War One: 'Saving Private Russell. Just like the Hollywood movie starring Tom Hanks, Dulwich also had its tragedies. Mr Russell who lived at Pond Cottages had five sons and the youngest was about to be called up for service. The vicar of St Barnabas wrote that he thought his four brothers had already been killed.

This talk by Brian Green will recall the enlistment of local men in August 1914 at the rate of 250 per day, the care of wounded at Southwark Military Hospital (Dulwich Hospital), the story of Dulwich’s volunteer battalion and everyday life for civilians.

This is an online talk, tickets are £5 and all proceeds go to Bell House garden projects. Tuesday 3 January , 8pm. For bursary places please email [email protected]. Book here: https://www.bellhouse.co.uk/events/2023/1/3/dulwich-in-world-war-one-saving-private-russell-with-brian-green

  I've found it quite a useful thread. Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders

  Personally can’t stand carpets however where I am renting has carpet in bedroom and hall. Not great quality and certainly not cleaned. Was in B & M recently and looking at carpet shampoo -wow got a can costing £2.99 to test.. No scrubbing as others seemed to imply. Spray, leave and poof - smells great, no dabbing or scrubbing and c leaving rubbish. First to admit is only temp solution but no need to hire carpet cleaner instantly or pay for a company to come and deal with professionally. For 3/6 months happy to have used this - Have a carpet cleaner and in a month or so plan to use it. Buy a steam cleaner for floors - not expensive - much better than mop and bucket and more hygienic all round. Can pick up second hand ones on e bay.

  Is this a true story? What protein powder causes kidney damage? Why didn't you cite an article? I shop at H&B, mostly to buy their castor oil, however, I would recommend researching any product beforehand. They do have very informative articles on their website. To be honest, I don't see the point of this post. You could have just taken the product back for a refund or complained in store and in writing.

  Well the Italian on Lordship Lane recommended here was delicious. Thank you so very much -my party were extremely pleased with ambience, location and lovely food plus puddings to die for. They are also on Deliveroo. Will certainly be back when I am back in 6 weeks time. Went past Love Dulwich at lunchtime on my way to Italian - only a party of 2 - food might be excellent but decided to give it a miss - wasn’t impressed with manager who admitted he had only been there 2 weeks. Might be being totally unfair but doubt it, as no comments since about a month ago from Pugwash.
