I've got a few things to moan about. The first being, following a mid morning stroll along the lane to Barclays I noted three cashpoints all out of use. This is frustrating, as these machines are rarely if ever in service when I need to use them. That's the first gripe, the second concerns charity shops. I've noticed that on LL a certain shops has bags of goodies collecting up outside most evenings and it's beginning to look unsightly. I appreciate these places are bastions for good causes, but it wouldn't hurt for people to leave the goods with the helpers inside during shop open hours rather than in bags outside for foxes and opportunistic people to ravage open and litter our pavements.


If I can think of anything else I'll get back to you.

With you 100% on this foxy. It most certaintly isn't irrational, it's opportunism in its most abhorrent form, stealing from a charity. I've confronted a few people but it's fairly rare I actually catch them. They must head out in the early hours to engage in this activity? The mess left behind would be enough to turn a visitor away from the area.

Yes this. Some of them don't even tell you they're not working, just swallow your card make 'thinking' noises, and then spit your card out again with no cash.

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
