We are on Tyrrell Road, close to Barry Road. Tried to turn on the tap just now, but nothing came out.


Anyone else with this and anyone with any idea what I ought to be doing if it carries on.


I am assuming its a burst watermain or something I suppose.


Thank you!

There was water gushing out again on LL this morning 7.45am (S of Barry Road junction). Bit of a major brook coming out from various points under pavement. You could almost imagine you were in the middle of Wales somewhere if not for the trucks thundering by.


May be connected, may not.


The bus stop continues shut with all the rest of the water works along this stretch. East Dulwich: A River Runs Through It.

If I'd phoned the water 'company' (calling them a company infers some sort of competence) I'd have been put through to a robot which would ask me to enter my postcode, it would misunderstand the first time, eventually I'd get a message saying no recorded works in the area. Then I'd have to phone back and be put on hold for ages before speaking to a human who would similarly know nothing of the situation even though quite clearly there's low water pressure in my taps and I'd like to know if the water's going off at any time today.

Louisiana's supplied all the info I need without the waste of time and money involved in phoning Thames. Thankyou.

And why do they charge you for phoning to report a leak etc, seems really cheeky.

Just noticed that my water supply is suddenly very low on pressure, so there's almost none coming out. Does anyone know if there's work going on in the vicinity of Ulverscroft/North Cross Rds?


Thought I'd check and give it an hour or two before phoning Thames Water.

I don't know if the works being carried out Thames Water on Dunstans Road have anything to do with it but they started work this week and will continue throughout Feb. Residents have been advised drinking water could be cut off for some periods although promised to let us know when.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
