There was a lovely stall at the fair yesterday selling ED cloth bags,then i started chatting to a resident who told me that dulwich not ED and nunhead already have cloth bags,with dulwich and nunhead logos that were distribuited by their local community using southwark money.I spoke to and emailed the council today about ED cloth bags and they said they would let me know,if any of you guys have time can you email southwark through their website,recycling page and ask about ED bags and to go about getting them.Im thinking about petitioning our local community council at their next meeting,anyone want to help,let me and il give you the details,two lovely ladies who baked for the WI on sunday expressed interest,so if you want to help get this up,let me know here.

Did anyone else see the 'Loser' magazine flyer posted on the front of the 'I (heart) SE22' bags stall, and indeed flyered all the way up LL? I thought it was having a pop at the 'I'm not a plastic bag' fiasco of late. I saw one woman in SMB's with an I'm not a plastic bag' thing, and she looked bemused as to why people were laughing at her. Fashion gone mad?

There's a post about the bags HERE and asked people to come along and help make the place greener...


I take my hat off to you for the thought, but again, it seems like anyone trying to take responsibility for the environment, and doing their bit, is just ripped off for their trouble!


God, since being with Mrs Keef I'm very surprised at the things I'm becoming passionate about..... That could actually sound very wrong! :-S

Oh dear it seems like I am the only one to mention or at least acknowledge these 'Loser' flyers?.....I have no idea who put them up. I thought it a little odd is all. Oh well. Curious situations often never get explained. Mr Madworld 74 came over to me at the festival to inform me of how much they were on sale for. Just as well the loud music from the band drowned his 'dismay'...is all I can say.

I think this is a very good idea. I keep reading about that small town that has gone plastic bag free. I can see no reason why lordship lane could not do the same thing and I suspect it could be funded from the community council's cleaner greener safer fund. An application form can be found here:

No and they're not cloth. They're made out of harder stuff, sorry I don't know what it's called - like a cross between sea grass or raffia. Nor can I remember exactly what it says but it's got a pic of a green tree and the word Dulwich is in it but not I 'heart' SE22. Must be one of the bags Monica talked about in the first post.


Sorry for rubbish info, I'm too hungry to think.


Anyway pop along to RW and see for yourselves.

      As the original restaurant  Persepolis is in Peckham, I imagine they mean the other end of ED to Peckham. Which people getting that update would understand, as they would have been  receiving previous updates from Persepolis.

      Repairing a sagging sofa

      By tropica · Posted

      I have a sofa of similar age, which used to sag, and I spent a stupid amount of time with the supposed 'DIY' solutions, which are all a waste of time and money. Then I woke up and realised that it can't be rocket science. When you say that the springs have gone, do you know what sort of springs you have? If they are zig zag (sometimes called serpentine) springs then it's an incredibly cheap and easy thing to fix by anyone with a hammer, screwdrivers, possibly pliers, and new springs which can be bought from https://www.jamiltonupholstery.co.uk/product/sinuous-springs-with-fixing-nails/ Obviously you can also get them on that well known website that we're all trying to avoid.  If they are box springs, then you may be able to replace a single spring, or you may have to change the whole unit, still DIYable but you may need a friend to help you. You may even find that a spring has simply come loose and it just needs clipping back into place. Access to the springs may mean undoing the upholstery under the cushions, or it may be that you have to turn the sofa upside down. The feet usually just unscrew and then you can take the dust cover off the bottom to see what's what. There are loads of YouTube videos to help but please DM me if you need any help.
