I recently found some of these at home and occasionaly pick them up in charity shops. My 3+ year old LOVES them (and I have to admit to loving them too!).

So this is request for a little boy and a big kid.

If anyone has any they want to get part with, please let me know. It's the olders ones with the lovely illustrations I'd after. IT doesn't matter on condition, as long as they aren't falling apart, it doesn't matter if they have names of scribbles on the indie covers etc. They are to be read and loved by both me and my son.

Please Pm, especially if anyone has one called 'Tootle the Taxi' (I think that's what it's called). I saw a newer version in a charity shop, but I used to have the old one and can't find it anywhere and the newer one just isn't the same.

I'm especially interested in the tales series, with stories about Elves, the princess & the pea, a giant turnip and other factual ones like the motor car (which is now hopelessness out of date and all the lovelier for it!)etc.

Go on, Make my day.

Have a good weekend/week/life

  Ollie's is another restaurant concept from the same people that do the Megan's chain. It was pretty mercilessly mocked on a thread somewhere on here. The Megan's branch on Lordship Lane closed not that long after it opened for a rebirth as an Ollie's, but it didnt seem to have happened last time I noticed. The Crown & Greyhound is closed until Thu 19 March for renovations (and staff training, hopefully...). The Romeo Jones booze and entertainment licence application closes for comments sometime this week. Simba Dulwich Ltd is the applicant. https://southlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/london-borough-of-southwark-simba-dulwich-ltd-premises-licence-1.pdf

  I don't know whose idea in the Lib Dems it was to put round a flyer saying that James' radical Marxist (in red caps) views are "at odds with East Dulwich and Goose Green residents", plus a load of ridiculous alarmist b******s. They may like to know that putting this round has had the opposite effect on me to that presumably intended. In local elections I usually vote for individuals who I think will do a good job rather than voting for particular parties, but as far as I am concerned the Lib Dems have shot themselves in the foot with the contents of this flyer, because I shan't be voting for any of them.

  And still is, and hopefully will continue to be with changed ownership, should that happen.
- Victorian gas outlet??? Any advice?

  Absolutely do not follow the advice to turn on and check the outlet yourself, but the previous part of the post above about contacting the gas authorities. Amongst other things it us illegal for those not trained and certified to interfere with gas supplies. Which you can only check (if it should be live) by breaking the law!
