Could go that way, Jah Lush, was hopeing for amusing/satirical type moans, like LadyDeliah's post.


Elephants don't half stomp their feet when they walk, especially if they're obese.

Our neighbours at the back knocked on the door to complain about the woodpecker that was going mental every morning about 4 o'clock - it was drilling into a bird box on the pear tree..... Neighbours wanted me to 'do something about it' and 'couldn't control that bird' - errr, no.....
Not sure whether to laugh or cry. A poor woodpecker's raison d'etre is compromising their sleep for a few days in spring and they want it stopped? Send it my way, I love the noise they make, reminds me of living in the country. Ditto curlews in early spring, skylarks in summer, geese in autumn and a robin singing on a cold, clear winter day.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
