  1. I use Firefox and Opera and I don't get ads in either. I haven't installed any adblockers. Probably in settings. I get asked about cookies in both and they are easy to reuse and delete I don't use Chrome or google search.
  2. As I think Colville might agree, it's hard to overemphasise the level of chaos. My complaint line went to BT and was fine. The problem was that he had to get info from OR and his only contact was OR customer service which was the normal level of customer service you find everywhere ie didn't answer the phone, didn't give any sort of sensible answer when they did etc. And they were one company, OR was BT's only supplier. "Our computer systems don't talk to one another" the BT guy said, by way of extenuation. Try Ofcom
  3. I had a choice and decided to give up my landline and rely on mobile. I'm 71. Key to this choice was learning that in a power cut a digital landline would not work. I did change my internet to BT. That was fully installed by a very nice Open Reach engineer who plugged it all together. The whole experience was a lesson in chaos (BT/Openreach) and frustration (me). But the end product was good. The guys who did the work were charming and delightful, fully trustable to help plug in the digital ohones,
  4. fast rat run. good bus service
  5. Power of attorney is straightforward to do oneself. For a will consider Anthony Gold. As executors, I second Malumbu. Choose sensible relatives considerably younger than yourself. If you haven't got any, consider a solicitor
  6. Or use different browsers. Opera or Firefox block adverts by default.
  7. It sounds like a corporate decision rather than anything pharmaceutical. Nunhead shops include two pharmacies in a brief shopping street both flourishing. The staff at Lloyds may have been demoralised if the shutdown was happening however hard they worked.
  8. Council gives grants to advice agencies in Southwark to give advice on disability and carers benefits
  9. Bin emptying -- v reliable. street sweeping -- litter picking-up -- personal (in person) and efficient

  12. Building lots of social housing. Not enough, of course, but a lot around in Nunhead.
  13. Southwark adult social services did a brilliant job of finding a place for my special needs daughter and funding it. They have kept small libraries open. No library deserts.
  14. seconded. Krystals, in Nunhead, will do both flu and Covid. Very efficiently
  15. Also Shingles jabs. Being 71 I was offered it when I turned up for the flu jab and had both together.
  16. Are you a leaseholder or a tenant? If you are a leaseholder then you write to the freeholder if a tenant then to your landlord
  17. Friern Road was access-only last night, closed at the Etherow Road junction. The water from the burst pipe had stopped flowing and there was a big hole in the road instead. The sign said they hoped to be finished by Sept 22nd but would finish before if they could 🙂
  18. There's also a leak running down Friern Road "like a mountain stream" at 9am this morning.
  19. Krystals Pharmacy in Nunhead is doing flu and Covid jabs from Monday. Just turn up if eligible, they say. Being over 65 means eligible. My GP (Nunhead Grove) has also offered me a flu jab by appointment
  20. Could you offer to put a bell on your cat? Do you have a litter tray?
  21. I was looking at it yesterday from the top of a bus and wondering. Not insured? Dispute over liability? Owner vanished?
  22. Have you got a solicitor? They can give advice on choosing a good one.
  23. motorbikes or bicycles?
