On a completely different topic, do you have any information about the latest car "club"/business which has recently arrived. car2go has parked several Smart cars around East Dulwich - it would seem in places where parking is at a premium already. Unlike Zipcars who use designated places these can be re-parked anywhere, though at present they don't actually appear to be moving at all except when the operatives call once a week when they may be moved from one side of a street to another. Are they paying the Council for carrying on a business in the streets - I thought there were rules about this.

Like others we turn off at Shannons Corner and continue towards Wimbledon on A238 passing South Wimbledon station and then left into Haydens Road. Continue of Haydens as it turns into Durnsford Road, then turn right into Penwith Road at the Pig and Whistle pub. Continue straight ahead into Earlsfield Road, and again into Spencer Park. This then meets up with the South Circular close to Clapham which is usually not too bad though we are generally travelling at weekends.

Dulwich library has several - fiction, biography, etc etc

Peckham High Street 10.55 11am Peckham Academy lunch stop. Leaves 11.55 Camberwell Green 12.15 - handover to Lambeth. Best details are on Southwark Council Website.

It is all very random in my experience. Recently I received a letter asking me to phone as follow-up to blood tests. I did and was given an appointment for a telephone call with a doctor two days later. The doctor then asked "How can I help you?" so clearly had not looked at my records before phoning. Net result - make an appointment to come in. So two more calls on their premium number. I have also been told that Sainsbury's Pharmacy won't deal with them for repeat prescriptions due to difficulties with non-medical staff, but don't know whether this is true.

Two sorts of volunteering opportunities were available for the Olympics, the first being for those who will generally support as volunteers working at events, seating people, escorting athletes for drug testing, doing IT work, etc. The second group were for Performance Volunteers - musicians, actors, dancers and others wanting to take part in the opening/closing ceremonies and other events. It looks to me like these document relate to the latter ie payment was never in questions as the individuals or groups VOLUNTEERED to do something.

Not a 30-something newcomer, lived in ED for 27 years, don't want an empty shop, and would love to have M and S - even those of us drawing a pension like to buy a few treats there! And they have just announced a new budget range so it's win-win for me.

... or do you mean "discreet"?

Because Drew, the slip had the same amount of money on it as was hanging out of the machine...

Cash safely back with HSBC and on its way to the absent-minded/overstressed rightful owner!

If you - or someone you know - left cash in an ATM this morning in Lordship Lane, the cash and the withdrawal slip will be returned to the bank where it was withdrawn on Monday morning. The bank will be able to identify the customer and the cash can be returned to the account. I hope no one has had a spoiled weekend because of this.

Workmen here all this week, but huge bonfires too - trust they won't just burn it down!

Our Zafira broken into twice in a week - last Thursday/Friday overnight, and again during last night. Rear quarterlight both times, but different sides. Thinking of buying shares in Autoglass! Underhill/Melford area.

I get 2 regular packages each week (via Silvester Road SO) - this morning got the one due last Tuesday, last Thursday's still not arrived, so it seems they are running about 6 days late at the moment.

Anyone know if buses are going towards Lewisham? 185 or P4

Trains on time an hour ago!

...and the birds sing at midnight on our street!
