After tying a few different garages, I've settled on Peacock & Sons on Chadwick Road as being straight dealing with good work done, and all round good blokes. Used them for unbending a bumper, a couple of services, some lights, and when I wanted to borrow some jump leads they popped round and started the motor for me.


I asked them to have a windscreen guy round for me at the same time as my MoT. Windscreen guy wanted them to ring me to say there was a risk of breakage which would cost me ?200 more: "Mate, I don't know if this fella is just giving fair warning or if he's angling for the extra ?200, but I shall be standing over him every minute and watching him like a bloody hawk" ? clearly spoken at a distance of about 2 feet from the windscreen guy. There was breakage that day :)

      Creative Trump protests ...

      Childish behaviour by Trump, so quite appropriate, I would say.

      Choir local to Lordship Lane?

      By Sue · Posted

      There's a folk choir that meets upstairs at the Castle, can't remember what night  but the pub would be able to tell you.

      The recommendations for tradespeople are in the  "reviews" section. I agree it's confusing.

      Parking in Herne Hill

      By Sue · Posted

      Thanks for this. I appreciate your suggestion. However, I have walked to the Oxfam shop with a shopping trolley (quite light when it's empty)  load of books in the past. I have also taken a trolley load of books on the 37. Both times I came back on the 37 with an empty trolley. I'm 76 and not particularly fit. I also have a problem with both  my arms (golfers elbow. No I am not a golfer. Dragging weights makes the pain worse). To walk to Herne Hill from my home  involves dragging the trolley uphill for the first part of the walk (downhill after that). To get a trolley of books onto and off the bus is very difficult, because of its weight. I don't use my ancient car (1998) very often because it isn't ULEZ compliant, but I have come to the conclusion that this is the only way I can get another  load of books to the Oxfam shop. *Breaks down in a piteous fit of crying for her age and infirmity 🤣🤣🤣*
