If you haven't already, try Tommy Rooney. He is excellent. https://www.trooneyheating.co.uk/ I have found him to be very knowledgeable, honest, reliable and helpful. ETA: Have you asked the manufacturers? Or ChatGPT? (Also very helpful with things like this, I have found!)

So are we only to post on this thread if we are aware of similar spates of tyre slashing in Southwark? Surely that would have been reported to the police already? Malumbu, are you implying that the police in adjacent boroughs don't talk to each other already, if it is necessary to "push for coordination between the boroughs"? Sorry if I have completely misunderstood, but I'm not sure what the point of your post is, except to make people aware that someone or some people is/are going around slashing car tyres. Unfortunately there is very little that car owners can do to protect their cars against this kind of vandalism, so far as I am aware, unless they have a garage and don't need to park their car on a road.

You can get bags from Oxfam to send stuff to them if charity shops round here won't take them. https://www.oxfam.org.uk/donate/donate-by-post-for-free/

I didn't even know Plusnet had email! My broadband is Plusnet, but my email is gmail!

It was a joke! I wasn't seriously expecting someone to leave the country in order to get cheap cigarettes!

Good idea, though I'm not sure where they would go on North Cross Road? Although the pavement is wide in some places, I think that's because half of it actually belongs to the shops, restaurants and businesses along there. I don't know if the Post Office would pay someone to have the lockers on their property?

Well whatever parcels it includes would reduce the queue, even if not completely. But I can't see that it's an option at the Lordship Lane office anyway. The bus stop surely wouldn't be moved, it's in a very convenient location.

How old is your son? I use a sleep app (Pzizz/Doze) very successfully, and I wonder whether there is something similar for children. But I presume it may not work for babies.

Go to Luton Airport and buy them wholesale. Do it on an interest free credit card. Sorted (financially, if not medically).

I just read that the Post Office is going to do a six month trial of parcel lockers outside selected offices. https://www.parcelandpostaltechnologyinternational.com/news/lockers-pudo/royal-mail-and-post-office-to-trial-24-7-parcel-lockers.html Unfortunately I can't see that there would be room for these outside the Lordship Lane office, especially with the bus stop there.

Off topic, but I am interested to know what partly ate your leather shoes! Moths? Dog? Parrot? Mice? You?

Do these cars belong to residents in these roads? Has anybody caught anything useful on cameras? Is it happening overnight?

Do they have veggie options?

Several people post on here who aren't eligible to vote in Southwark elections. Some of them live only just outside the boundary and come to East Dulwich frequently. Are you suggesting they shouldn't have an opinion on East Dulwich matters, and if they do, they shouldn't share it on here?

That escapes me. The reference, not the snail, obviously 😀
