Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

It wasn't an antique and bric-a-brac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job). It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.

Actually, if it was factory fitted then it's location would be documented. It's the fact that it can be fitted in different places which means that it's difficult for thieves to locate.

Crook locks can be sawn through, or the steering wheel to which it is attached, I know to my own cost. The safest additional security measure is what's called a ghost immobiliser, which cannot be traced through the car's electronics, meaning it is difficult to bypass. They cost a bomb however.

I know of 3 lexuses stolen in the last 18 months in Underhill or environs. Not speculation but fact. Other cars may also have been stolen.

Or could have been a Lexus, a number have gone locally recently.

The hotspots (and indeed modus operandi and perps) do change locally, so knowing where they are currently preying on us, and how, is a useful update.

Certainly the infamous (and mythical) SE London cat killer turned out to be foxes attacking dying and dead cats injured by cars, but fox: cat encounters do appear to happen, even where cats are victorious. Fox: adult humans less so. At least where foxes are the aggressors.

It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats.

I think Forest Hill Road also does training on Thursday afternoons. They all have to do it sometime. They will be assessed on their continuous improvement/ training plans for staff.

Mons, at the other end of LL, has excellent cheeses too, but is also not cheap. In their case, as for the Cheese Block, price is matched by quality. I have always found the cheese they sell to be in excellent condition. As well as good examples of their type.

If you don't think drivers of private vehicles have any needs which require being met, then excising them as a group from your world view is rather top of mind. Earl would be entirely happy if there were no cars or car drivers in ED and the only self driven vehicles would be bicycles, ideally with no restrictions on their drivers. That's a perfectly valid point of view, but it isn't compatable with many other viewpoints held by other posters. Trying to square that circle is a complete waste of time and bandwidth.

I live on Underhill and it's not uncommon (as for other parts of ED) for exactly the same stretches of road to have recurring water infrastructure failures. The current one appears very adjacent to one which opened this time last year and which took 6 weeks for repair, as I recall, although it was mainly one lane coned off till 'they' got round to it.

The Party, obviously.

24/7 bus lanes in any areas where traffic levels are clearly not 24/7 intense only exist to raise fines, they do not facilitate through flow of bus traffic outside peak hours. There are places in London where they offer genuine benefits to bus travellers but LL is not one of them IMHO. This is a typical response of those who wish to see private vehicle traffic repressed and penalised, which of course is a legitimate point of view, which I do not share, but see it for what it is.
