  1. I'm afraid we don't have any, it's not clear who the owners were and the police weren't able to trace them.
  2. Our dog is on her way to recovering, thank you. She spent the first 5 or so days at the vet and had still has some wounds which are open, but given how she looked when it happened it's pretty remarkable. You can see her looking happy on The Neighbourhood Vet Instagram here - https://www.instagram.com/p/DBYkbVeoV2F/?img_index=1 Unfortunately, we are aware of the other dog from the police and it was the same dogs that attacked ours that killed the other shortly after. The dogs were caught and we understand have been put to sleep, but the owner was not able to be traced.
  3. I thought I would post a warning that my dog (a fox hound) was attacked by two pit bulls whilst being walked in Dulwich Wood, near Sydenham Hill yesterday afternoon. Our dog was very badly injured and she and the lady walking her (or son's carer) were only able to get away when some other walkers pulled the dogs off her. Our dog has significant injuries all over her body, fortunately they did not attack our son's carer. The attack has been reported to the police, but if you see such dogs around the area be very careful. They clearly have an owner as they were wearing collars, although if the owner was there they did not make themselves known.

  5. I?m in SE22 just of LL and haven?t been down at all.
  6. It?s very nicely done and my eldest (8) loved it, but my younger (6) is a wheelchair user and absolutely nothing is accessible for him.
  7. We just had what we assume was an attempted burglary on Hansler Road. Our children were home with their nanny who heard someone at the door and assumed it was my wife or I home early. When the noise continued she went to open the door, assuming we were having trouble and the person ran away. Nanny?s description was of a black man with shaved black hair, wearing a black bomber jacket and black trousers, about 5 ft 8? tall. Have submitted a report to the police online.
  8. Fairly sure this in bindweed rather than knotweed. Knotweed genuinely grows into thick stalks that stand up by themselves like bamboo, whereas bindweed is a climber. It does grow incredibly fast, particularly during the spring and summer, but to the best of my knowledge doesn?t have any ill effects on anything other than other plants which it can strangle.
  9. You can register a car with a blue badge, this is generally done to enable a car to park in a specific bay without the badge (normally the bay outside a blue badge holders house as cars are frequently broken in to to steal the blue badge). That being said, not many people do this and it obviously doesn't help those who don't have their own car but have a badge and friends or carers that help them. As far as I'm aware, there is no obligation for a car park owner to make blue badge parking free, rather provide the spaces in accessible locations. Of course in practise it is common for them to be free.
  10. Bexleyheath has a very nice public course with decent facilities.
  11. It would be nice if the EDF was optimised for mobile. Just saying.
  12. I've lived in ED for the last 8 years having previously lived at various points along the Northern Line from Finchley to Tooting and various places in between in the decade before. I have never lived anywhere the transport was better. I'm not going to fall into calling it good, but (at least for me commuting to CW) the options of travelling via overground (DH and FH), train to Lewisham followed by DLR, ED to London Bridge and the option of cycling via Tower Bridge or Greenwich has made it far and away the most flexible (and far more pleasant than the Northern line) location I've ever lived. Now to be fair, I would prefer to leave London and accept a longer commute to get a better location for the little Drinking Buddies, but Mrs. Drinking Buddy is long since wed to the area. I would highlight that the bus services have become noticably worse in the last year or so, but I would suggest that is a problem easily solved with the correct pressure on the powers that be.
  13. Denmark Hill and The French House
  14. Are you sure it's not Yo! ? There is a craze based around an app that just let's you chat the word Yo to your friends (www.justyo.co) Can't say I understand it, but it could be kids expanding on the idea.
  15. The old Irish Shop is going to be part of the new cinema.
  16. We don't have police response. We've had a few different failures, sometimes preventing you from setting the alarm, other times causing it to go off. They've always come out the same day when its gone off but only if we pay a call out charge otherwise they don't even guarantee that. Obviously you have no choice when you have an alarm going off. Could be worth popping in to Callows locksmiths to ask their advice.
  17. We have Banham and have had nothing but problems. The sensors go wrong between services without fail and you always get hit with an emergency call out charge. My advice would be to keep clear.
  18. A1 can be converted to A3 for a period of up to two years without permission.
  19. Its relatively rare around here for shops to own their retail premesis. If EDD doesn't but has a sound lease the sale would be purely for of the building with the deli unaffected. Indeed given the price that would be my guess as a sitting Tennant with a long lease would suppress the price.
  20. Personally I think a lot of the roads in ED have been in a terrible state and this is an ongoing project for the last couple of years, not just an end of the financial year thing. I was delighted when our road was done, it had massive sections of broken and missing tarmac.
  21. Sorsi & Morsi is exceptionally child friendly. Always seem delighted to see our very young kids.
  22. A cinema in that space seems entirely out of proportion to the space and without suitable public transport links, such that parking for local residents is likely to become even harder. The Ritzy is right by the tube, train and multiple bus lines, whilst this location has just three bus routes all going to the same stop. What measures are going to be taken to ensure that the surrounding streets are not clogged up? We already have extremely heavy non resident usage due to the proximity to North Cross and the shops on Lordship Lane as well as the thoughtlessness of some of the local businesses parking excessive amounts of vehicles and using public streets as some sort of extension to their storage and manufacturing requirements.
  23. There are no signs by the single yellows. Doesn't that make them unenforceable?
  24. Cheese block
