have been without water since early morning - cannot see anyone from Thames Water working on the situation.  Any one heard any news as to when normal service will resume?

 

Have you reported it to Thames Water?

If nobody has, they may not be aware that there is  a problem?

Chatgpt is a joy (and scary) 

No Water on Barry Road" (to the tune of No Woman, No Cry)

(Verse 1)
No water… on Barry Road
No water… on Barry Road
Said, I remember, when we used to flow
In the tap by the old front gate
Oba served us clear, sweet water
Then it vanished like fate

And then the plumber would come in the evening
Fixing pipes, sayin’, "Just hold tight"
But every time we checked the faucet
It was still a dusty fight

(Chorus)
No water… (no water)
On Barry Road (on Barry Road)
No water… yeah
On Barry Road

(Verse 2)
I see the buckets lined up outside
Hope in every pail we hold
The sun be blazing, the kids be crying
And the kettle’s running cold

Good friends we had, and good friends we lost
To the drought along the way
In this bright future, we can't forget the past
But we sure need water today

(Chorus)
No water… no flowin’ tide
On Barry Road… we stand and sigh
No water… but we still survive
On Barry Road… we still try

(Bridge)
Oh, dry days will pass, I know
Pipe dreams gotta start to flow
But until then we wait and pray
For rain or trucks to come our way

(Final Chorus)
No water… (no water)
On Barry Road (on Barry Road)
No water… no pride
But still we rise…

(It refused to sing it for me)

    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet. 
    • i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?
    • This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion. 
    • Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
