I was scathing about Ken Livingtone's regime and will continue to be so - I have lived in London since he was spending my money on the GLA and have learnt to be wary of him and his policies.


I am disappointed and, perhaps slightly embarrassed, that the Conservative mayoralty has, apparently, appointed an individual with a potentially dubious past - tho' almost every commentator (right, left and centre of politics) applauded the appointment when it was made, so if it was a misjudgement it was one shared by many.


I do not feel at all embarrassed about slating Ken over Lee Jasper - look at the two situations and how they were handled.


The duration between allegation, the Mayor's announcement of formal enquiry and the Deputy Mayor's resignation to allow work of Mayoralty to continue untainted by the allegations is just over 24 hours. Compare with Ken Livingstone's regime when it took several months to even obtain an admission that there was anything that warranted investigation within Lee Jasper's handling of LDA money.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
