  1. Hi, Looking for a reputable and reliable roofer who will come out and look at a roof which might be leaking. Probably not urgent so being knowledgable and reputable more important that being able to carry out work right away! Thank you in advance! John
  2. Hi, looking to find a tree surgeon who can prune two or three fairly small trees in East Duwlich. In the past, I've found it hard to find any who will actually come and do the jobs even after they've agreed a date so reliability is a bonus! Thanks in advance! John
  3. I would also like to recommend James Seth, who I called after one of my lighting circuits kept tripping the switch on the consumer unit. He was able to come within a couple of days and soon identified the source of the fault. I also had him replace a bathroom fan and and some light fittings, that I'd put off doing for a while. He also suggested how I could reduce my electricity bills by replacing some of the bulbs/fittings. He was quick and very reasonable, not to mention a genuinely nice guy. His number, to save you having to scroll up to find it, is 07816 160353.
  4. Southwark has a page where you can find your polling station here: http://goo.gl/GrToAW You don't need to have your polling card, but it might save time if you bring it.
  5. Sounds to me like it was on diversion, but no one bothered to put posters on the stops. The P13 shouldn't be seen as a bus service as such. More like a piece of performance art, inspired by Turkish Dolmuses perhaps. I'd never rely on it, but sometimes catch it to Streatham for the thrill of seeing whether it will turn up that day.

More is, well, more, as the adage goes. But seriously, Peckham Rye Park is a jewel of South London and deserves to be a major world tourist destination, and could be if we had some kind of simple fountain in the centre of the Sexby.
  7. I've often wondered that myself. I also feel that as a centrepiece, this 'fountain' -- really just a jet of water -- rather lets the Sexby Garden down. I wonder if we could crowdfund for a new ornamental fountain.
  8. There are also a couple of new trees on Grove Vale near Goose Green school. I think its great, and I hope Southwark plans to plant many more.
  9. Just to add to the positive replies, I've always found the reception staff helpful, friendly and incredibly calm under pressure. I've been with this practice for over ten years and have no intention of going elsewhere.
  10. This is a great idea. Would it be fun to devise some walks around East Dulwich, taking in One Tree Hill, Dulwich Park and Dulwich & Sydenham Woods. It's not quite countryside, but I'm sure we could work out a route that would take up an afternoon.
  11. Well I've just come home this evening to my ground floor flat (near the station) to find I'd had some unexpected visitors. Stole a laptop. Picked up a guitar in the bedroom but thought better of it and left it on the kitchen floor, which is a pity because it's total junk, unplayable and I've been meaning to get rid of it for ages! They got in through the back door which they forced open. Police came within the hour and they said that there have been a spate of burglaries in this area, and I know that burglaries go up around Christmas, perhaps becuase thieves know that people are likely to have new expensive goods still in their boxes. Worst thing really was the embarrassment that my flat was such a mess when I left that I didn't notice the mess the burglars had made for about 5 minutes. Luckily the two coppers were too polite to comment on the piles of washing up in the sink. Do check your doors and windows are locked when you go out, and perhaps leave a light on.
  12. If they go up, what league is above Ryman Premier?
  13. More details from the Standard. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/male-pedestrian-dies-after-being-hit-by-bus-outside-station-in-south-london-10142391.html
  14. I'm not denying that. But still costs a little shy of a couple of hundred when new.
