New boiler installed. :)


Thanks to Billy at Hunter Heating Solutions.

Trouble is he's so good that he's in demand. He squeezed me in as I've known him for years. Try his brother Scott on 07983 704069.

More like poor quality, knackered and would be practically unsellable without being badly painted.


Vintage is another one - ageing, not good enough quality to rank as an antique but still fairly attractive in certain contexts. (Just realised this may mean I'm vintage - hurrah!)

"Retro/vintage" shops that sell tat that has been thrown out because it's well worn and past it's sell by date, at hugely inlflated prices. Many such shops have opened in Crystal Palace during the past 2 years.

Thus proving that there is a market for such items.

    • I believe there is a minor injuries department at Guys, though I may have misremembered. Not very convenient for SE22 now the 40 no longer goes near. You have to get 2 buses or a train. Charging people (not sure if you mean financially or legally) would waste a lot more time, I would have thought? And  a bad bruise could be serious, depending on the cause and possibly other symptoms.
    • Good news - parliamentary debate scheduled for 19 January! Dear  Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – “Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only”. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559 The debate is scheduled for 19 January 2026. Once the debate has happened, we’ll email you a video and transcript. Thanks, The Petitions Team House of Commons
    • Hey all, A month ago 2 black youths in ski masks/balaclavas on an electric bike tried to rob me where the old Poundland was on Lordship Lane. Last night, what seemed like the same two people tried to rob a Deliveroo driver by The Great Exhibition pub while I walked past. The driver swerved and nearly crashed, and they made off. Not sure what can actually be done about this, and if any residents have spoken to police. I can only implore people not to walk around with noise-cancelling headphones on..because sadly, you will get robbed.
