A strapping and robust plant, looks like a euphorbia but I don't think it is. Jay

That is a real shame, they are nice there. I walk past my local shop as I would rather spend my money with them.

Very kind.

That is well weird!

Are you sure they're not wobbles? Aaahhhh that'd be lovely if they were.

I cannot imagine being terrified of a cat. I think you definitely need a picture of the cat on here, so you can identify it and possibly speak to the owners. I don't let my cats out at night and have never had them crapping in the house mine are however used to being out during the day 8-6, occasionally they want to nip out. Routine is good. Paper collar is a good idea . One of may cats returned modelling a very fetching bandanna with a message on it. Hope you sort out soon, would be amazing if it were someone's missing cat.

You just have to be organised and book in advance, I like it there.

Yep Peckham cheap and sticky. Brixton is lovely, groovy bar I've enjoyed and been a patron for at least 30 yrs but if there's to be one in ED I'm in yay.

There will always be the odd dog running wild, is there something you could carry to make you feel safer? I regularly go to parks, and occasionally get a friendly dog come up to me. I used to be a bit nervous of dogs, kept forcing myself to stroke and chat to owners, it helped. good luck.

Thank you for all the sensible and informative replies I really appreciate that some of you have taken the time in your day to help and offer advice. Spoke to him over the weekend, apparently they are seeking permission now- the story has changed. I have no objections to people doing improvements etc I just want there to be an honest communication about it. Jay

There was a crash Saturday night on the zebra crossing outside the hospital no pedestrians involved just a driver who lost concentration for a few moments and took out one side of the railings. I am regularly shocked by some of the antics of drivers on this stretch of the road and have lost count of the amount of times people have not respected the zebra when I've been crossing mainly due to two reasons- speeding and overtaking buses at the stop.

Many thanks everyone, I will phone tomorrow. I have a feeling they are going to do a whacking great extension. Will post a report in a few days.

The link doesn't seem to be working. There is no wall at the moment.

He just knocked on the door, said they had planning permission and would need access. it is at the side of the house where my kitchen window is which would leave a gap of about 4 foot and mean i get even less light :-( so there isnt already a wall there.

Just had a knock from my neighbours to tell me that they are building a conservatory in their garden and that this would involve a wall being built on the boundary for which they would require access to my property. They said that they have planning permission, but didn't have any plans that they could show me. I am quite worried about what they have planned especially since they are quite big party people... Would the plans be public anywhere I am in Southwark? Any advice much appreciated.

I usually ask my neighbour if I can use their's!

Coffee shop, first thing that I noticed was the wonderful coffee machine, they are quite expensive. I was really worried that it would be another purveyor of saturated and trans fats but a nice sandwich shop/ cafe is great IMHO. I had a little chat and hopefully next year the garden area will be open again.

I would say correctly identified.

Eeek I wouldn't put all that personal info on the net!

Very sad, disputes with neighbours can be a nightmare. I would suggest that you move.

I was there on Tuesday evening, I rarely go there (used to regularly when it was the Black Cherry) it was nice, there were about 12 customers, the food one couple were eating looked nice. The staff behind the bar were pleasant enough just a bit of atmosphere lacking.

Poor you, awful experience. Yes lock car doors and put "desirable" items in boot, an empty cardboard could be considered desirable since it is full of potential Hope you are ok J

Ooooh intriguing, I have absolutely no idea!

When I ran restaurants/ bars I always did my best to help deter, since dealing with the victims was a complete and utter nightmare, time consuming and often the people would be quite distressed. They usually dump the bag nearby! sympathies Jay
