I'm not saying that at all. OK, I agree that citing Bulger was perhaps over-extreme and alarmist. But I get the feeling that being protective of a child in such a scenario is seen by some as a bit odd and pathetic! Your initial, rather sarcastic, comment being a case in point.

I went in there with my small children and one of them weed all over the floor. The staff were very helpful and not unfriendly in fact they acted like it wasnt a problem. And they cleared it up.

I think I might try this as a litmus test for friendliness around ED. How do staff react to child weeing on floor.

MightyRoar, what a good test! And we don't have to limit it to our wonderful Lordship Lane; no! We can take our weeing toddlers to Heals, Fenwicks and Harvey Nicks too and see how graciously they cope.


Eventually we could compile a guide, like the Michellin! This is a great idea - any publishers out there?!

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
