And another recommendation for knight and sons, emailed paul this morning ([email protected]) and he came around within a couple of hours and removed probably two tons of old bricks, it was an awkward job as the bricks were at the end of the garden and he had to carry them through the house. Very professional, clean and tidy and very reasonable. His number is 07985104027

And again had our chimney swept by Alan, always a pleasant experience and very reasonable

be very careful of these companies -a client of ours had an amazing offer then a renegotiation of 25% on the day of exchange and the threat of a charge on the mortgage for the costs for a "failed transaction" when they refused.

I worked for Bristol Zoo for a few years (many years ago) and it is hard to get into this type of work - the way I managed it was to volunteer for a while and apply for every and any job going - good luck. London zoo has a very good volunteer programme, so does the horniman and I would also look at the city zoos,

he knocked on our door a while ago, didn't want to show any id and kept on showing me his hand written list. Didn't give him anything.

very sad - we bought our current tv from him and he was a fountain of knowledge about old east dulwich

Same with FH practice but I think this is more to do with the state of the NHS and the well worried and less the running of the practice.

Some b*****d keyed my car last night and left a long scratch on the drivers side rear - its quite deep and you can see the white undercoat - what can I do to get this out? Would t CUT work?

I always have to have some form of my partners id when picking up stuff for her - always thought it was basic security

It could be coming through from the brick work if the pointing work is old and needs redoing - we had the front of ours repointed and this sorted the damp - a good firm to get in we have found is called Tapco - they charge for an initial inspection but knock this off the final bill if you use them

Thanks for the I'd, very happy to see it in the garden - looks very fat and healthy

Hi everybody - very happy as just spotted a frog / toad in my new half barrell pond! Can anybody help I'd this? Thought I hadn't seen as many slugs this year

He is a top man - fixed a few things for us and cant fault him at all

Im working class - I work every day from from 9-5:30 and sometimes at weekends.

My favourites: "M&S represents naffness and isn't a draw for customers who have discerning taste. They, like myself, will travel down to Brixton Village where you can get the full works of independent retailers and more importantly, surrounded by cool minded people" "I like all things cool so I'll be avoiding M&S on Lordship Lane and spending more time in Brixton and Spitalfield as their retail environment tends to cater more to my exquisite tastes"

I have heard rumours that there are going to be a few hives installed in Camberwell old cemetry. Does anybody know whose these are? would love to have a look / get to know a little more about the hives.

UDP "It's telling when Hugo has lost the argument. He resorts to insults, accuse others of lying, and bizarrely comes up with this weird matter of secret messages" Administrator May 21, 09:26PM "Please leave out the personal insulting comments people. Undisputedtruth you were removed from the forum before because of complaints against you and your attitude but you were let back in. You're not in the Lounge now so please play nicely" UDP - logical as ever

+1 udp

UDP - you posted that before and if you read previous posts you will see why you are wrong.

UDP please do post whatever you think it is that I don't understand.

Hi First Mate I have just had a cursory look at previous posts and it seems I have only used Nimby twice - once in the post replying to UDP and the other replying to you in the CPZ post - not really "quite a few times" to be pedantic, "The devils in the detail" as you point out. You state "are you really in favour of daily deliveries by articulated lorries onto a residential street beginning at 6am?" To be brutally honest it doesn?t bother me that much. I have lived in Clapham next door to a Sainsbury?s, in North London next door to a Tesco and over time you do get used to it. When I had problems I spoke to the store manager / head office / the council and generally things do get sorted. As before - you live near a main shopping road in London, you should expect disturbance. "Have you actually seen the site of the proposed deliveries and seen for yourself how small the proposed space will b and are you clear just how big the delivery lorries are" Yes and yes - big Lorries - not much space "There are good planning proposals and bad ones- this is a bad 'un where the absolute focus appears to be on maximising the value of the property rather than effecting a balance between commercial interests and the quality of life of locals. ." You talk about maximising value and bad planning applications. All commercial planning applications are about maximising value - no one in their right mind would put time / money and effort into planning a store if it wasn?t to maximise value. When you mention balance and quality of life what you mean is quality of life for the very local residents who live next to the store - what you miss out and is mentioned by penguin 68 is the balance of "The value of having an M&S store locally (and clearly, vide the past threads there is a perceived value to many) will have to be balanced against the disruption to those living closely around the site" I would think those who want the store outweigh the minority who don?t. "You should be fairly clear by now that this is not simply an issue about parking- a massive over simplification on your part" I am aware this isn?t an issue just about parking. If you read the thread in it entirety my response is to UDP who has tried to turn a parking issue into a campaign to "save the lane" If I was you I would be more concerned about the land the car wash is on, in the market at the moment that is a small goldmine for the right developer.

Hi UDP "Or is it a case that you don't give a care to people's blighted lives as long as you can get your M&S goodies locally?" Nothing really to do with that - I get mine at London Bridge when in the mood but normally shop around Forest Hill road. I don?t particularly rate M and S as a food retailer. Regarding the blight, I would prefer to consider the quiet views of the majority over the minor view of those whose lives really aren?t going to be affected that much by a change in Supermarket. However it?s more to do with the fact that you are trying to turn your personal agenda about parking into ?a fight to save lordship lane?. It seems you don?t even shop on the lane that much anyway? ?M&S represents naffness and isn't a draw for customers who have discerning taste. They, like myself, will travel down to Brixton Village where you can get the full works of independent retailers and more importantly, surrounded by cool minded people.? ?I like all things cool so I'll be avoiding M&S on Lordship Lane and spending more time in Brixton and Spitalfield as their retail environment tends to cater more to my exquisite tastes.? Maybe we and the lane are not cool enough for you, And then you mention clone towns. How will M and S (a chain store) replacing Iceland (another chain store) make Lordship lane a clone town? Lordship lane is already a clone town / street ? the majority of estate agents / supermarket / banks / pubs are chains. The joy of the lane is the independent shops which are in the majority maintained by the increasing affluence of East Dulwich and in most cases would welcome the M & S as it would bring in more footfall and trade. In fact the nearest non clone town is Rye Lane where the majority of stores (at least towards the rye end) are independent clothes shops and butchers. This is the area that you think the M and S should move to and improve its mix of shops? ?An M&S in Peckham would also help its own diversity of shops.? Finally you don?t seem to know what you want to replace the Iceland or improve the lane. ?Lordship Lane could perhaps do with a gift shop chain as to up the competition. I do find stock in the local gift shops rather uninspiring to say the least? ?I rather see an independent retailer take over the site where it's more likely that the neighbours won't be disturbed by articulated Lorries at a very anti-social time and add further diversity of offerings to the shopper? Poor attempt to turn a personal parking agenda into a campaign to prevent the "gentrification of Lordship Lane"
