We live at the Plough end of Lordship Lane and have no cold water. Apparently there is a burst main in Oakhurst Grove which Thames Water only found out about an hour ago or so, and they are saying we may not have water until the morning. Not sure whether this is affecting all the streets between us and G Green?


Any more news gratefully received...

There has been two in Oakhurst, one that was resolved earlier this week (that had been reported for two weeks before anything was done) and now there is a new one which when I went by it this morning on my way to work the road was dug up, I had issues with the water in the shower this morning but the water was still running and Im about 4 houses from the main that is burst.

My bedroom overlooks the leak. Two chaps turned up at midnight with a small digger and ... dug.


One big hole and a fountain later, they set too and fixed it. Leaving a big but dry hole surrounded by some plasic fencing.


It was the middle of the night, pishing down with rain, water was coming upward at a rate of knots and it was cold, hats off to them.

      I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.

      Maybe the signor in question spotted some hot jacuzzi action and just had to stop in?
