Oh Maurice , gone all la de da now, what with bistro's & "boules" & they call it "petanque" on here , also they get upset if you call them tossers, which of course they are.


Back to the real world, what's wrong with Walworth "The Bell" is lovely, I know that geezer got shot in the head in there but he was an IRA informant. I mean it's not exactly Dorset but......Please don't mention the Fox or somewhere like that or it will be one short "mornington cresent " stop before someone pipes up with "Oh early bird at the Harvester is good ?2.99 for ...." sh1t like that and the whole thread goes down.



Next....& Hurry please.



W**F

I'm afraid pubs are not my cup of tea, so to speak. It is difficult for me to get out at all and when I do, it is not to pubs. I can offer you an afternoon drink in the front drawing room or, given our lovely weather, the garden. It is much quieter and better quality than anything local.


There is the Doves, which I've never visited but seems to get a lot of positive press. The young man behind it is constantly raising his and his pub's profile. T

I agree it's a lovely house.


It must get annoying fishing beer cans and condoms out of your front garden most mornings though.


Not to mention stepping in vom when you open the door for Ocado.

Yes, caution is "key". I hear his patio is up to the basement window sill height this year.


In & out....relentlessly....that's what worries me......

Yes, I'm afraid Alan lost the paper round.


But he's managed to find seasonal work in 'Rimworld', so it's not all bad news.

Bob I fear you are right. And the boom boom cars to boot.


My summer garden parties were once the talk of the Society calendar. The Camberwell Society that is. I cannot recall anyone not leaving, but my mind isn't what it once was, so you could be right. I just thought most of us were now house bound or dead.

And the hourly rates are good!

United in poor taste then - good stuff.


Rest assured, if there had been a more entertainingly-named shop in Camberwell selling sporting and fashion goods (say, "Fellatio World", or perhaps "Beanflicker City" etc) then I would have gone for that.


Alas, Rimworld is the best there is - by a country mile.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
