I paid the ?40.00 back in early March. Still no Sticker Have been through to Southwark Council 4 times. They confirmed by email they had received my payment and I should get my Bin Sticker by 21st April. That is tomorrow. Don't know if it's down to Royal Mail or Southwark Council DulwichFox

I have just had my first Cataract Op. 12th April. I had it done st St. Thomas' It took 24 minutes. I went for Distant Lens (0) which means I will need Reading glasses for close up Need to wait for other eye to be done before I can get Prescription Reading glasses' Very awkward at the moment using PC and Iphone. Have to put Eye Drops in for 1 month.. 4 times a day. 2 lots for the first week, My distant vision is Brilliant and I can see the TV well without any glasses.. Better than that I can read the Whateley Road sign opposite the end of my road from outside my house. Most people opt for a Distant lens implant. Foxy

The Coverage was extensive.. Not something that could of been put together in a couple of hours after Prince Phillip had died. IMHO this has been in the Can for Months waiting for the poor fellow to pass away. #Shocking.. DulwichFox.

Still NO Sticker.. Postman on My road (Ulverscroft) today but no post for me. Anyone else still waiting, ?? Foxy

Before The first Lockdown I started buying My Loose Leaf Tea from Fortnum and Mason from their store in Piccadilly. Amazing Shop and Not as Expensive as other places on Line. This one is one of my Favourites. Royal Blend. Another is Countess Grey. A milder form of Earl Grey. Both ?12.50 for 250 gr 8.8 oz. in an attractive Caddy which can be refilled with Loose Tea at a reduced price.

When was the last time anyone saw a Cyclist with a Bell ??? A Bell. ?? Many cyclist don't need Handle Bars. They ride along looking at their frigging Mobile Phones. Fox.

Between 1920 and 1936 the vehicle licence (tax disc) was officially known as the "Road Fund Licence", a term which is still in common use today. Doesn't Matter what you call it. DulwichFox

Pedestrianization is the main cause of the increase in assault on the person and antisocial behaviour' Places like Lewisham and Bromley Town Centres Prime examples.. When cars were allowed to pass through there were more people around. Now gangs hide in doorways .. Urinating .... Drug Dealing ... and more. attacking people and robbing them. It is no longer Safe for people to walk along the street. They are like Ghost towns.. Open up our roads. They were built to carry traffic. Busses .. Cars and the like. Fox

Rye Lane has been car free in the main for years.. it's now Bus Free. Foxy..

The longest time elapsed between a letter being posted and its delivery is 89 years. In 2008, Janet Barrett, a guest-house owner in Weymouth, Dorset, UK, received the letter ? an RSVP to a Boxing Day party invitation, which had been posted on 29 November 1919. Foxy..

I have been in touch again with Southwark Council about our Garden Waste Brown Bin Stickers. I have been told that There is Delay . Brown Bins WILL still be collected as usual and Stickers should be sent out by April 21st 2021. Please do not hold you breath.. DulwichFox

I have a friend living in Bexley, She is having the same problem there with her postal services.. Not just East Dulwich and not entirely to do with Silvester road closing and moving to Peckham.. My Parcel (small enough to go through my letter-box) sent First Class took 11 days Woking to East Dulwich.. Foxy

My Parcel has just arrived.. Sunday I dont believe it.. I saw the Mail van outside my house and as I got up to have a look the van drove off. Surprisingly .. The parcel was Just small enough to go through my letter-box. 5 dough Scrapers .. 1 Grignette With spare blades.. 2 large Proving Cloths .. 'Essential' utensils for my Sourdough Bread Making 11 days First Class Post.. I really had given up on it ever arriving... so Don't give up.. Foxy

I still have my Habitat Teapot from Arthur Wood which I bought in 1980 ish. Used to have matching Wallpaper in my Kitchen back then. Amazing after 40 years it has not been Broken. (Fingers Crossed) I can be pretty clumsy. Foxy

I am waiting for a Parcel to be delivered.. It was dispatched at 07.00am 17th March Royal Mail First Class Delivery... I have a tracking number but when I click on TRACK it just says 'An update will only be provided when we attempt to deliver your item' Tried calling Royal Mail ... Eventually got a message saying They are busy and call waiting time is Over 30 mins.. I tried but gave up after 12 mins.. have tried several times to get though. 30 min wait time announcement seems to be generic ? it never changes . Foxy

I don't remember getting such an email.. I delete emails which I consider I do not need to read. Foxy

Foie Gras Production :- This is what Reporters were allowed to film. Distressing but there are much worse places where No one were allowed to even enter Animal Rights people did gain access but their footage is too shocking to place on this Forum. DulwichFox

Because drivers Parked on Melbourne Grove see the road is open .. and drive through but cannot see the the signs.. or assume the restrictions have been lifted. If not familiar with the area restrictions drivers could just drive through. People get rewarded (Incentive Bonuses) for coming up with these schemes.. DulwichFox

Forget the Politics.. Just Ban the stuff Totally. DulwichFox

All is not what it seems... When I start up my PC ..It is actually Starting in 'Safe Mode' Cannot change to Normal Mode Start with 'msconfig' Mark from Solid Rock will come round a little later to check. Foxy.

Signs prohibiting vehicles still in place.. BEWARE Probably Cameras too. Another SCAM to generate Fines.. Foxy
