Not working again....

All working again - Thames Water clearly have a library of SE22 'lines'....

We live at the Plough end of Lordship Lane and have no cold water. Apparently there is a burst main in Oakhurst Grove which Thames Water only found out about an hour ago or so, and they are saying we may not have water until the morning. Not sure whether this is affecting all the streets between us and G Green? Any more news gratefully received...

One of the guys from the Plough was telling me about a tow path from Penge to Greenwich that come pretty close to ED. Maybe that is what you mean? No idea how to find it though?

I too have had rude service from them and have, as a result, used them much less over the last year. Last Christmas (2007) I ordered a capon, to be collected a week before Christmas. I was a regular customer and would go in there at least once a week, so they knew my face. I sent my husband to collect said bird and he was sent home with a turkey. I went back with the turkey, on a Saturday and was told by the main guy that I was wrong and I had definitely ordered a turkey. Now I wouldn't mind but a capon is a pretty specific thing to order - and to make matters worse he loudly started telling me what a capon is and sarcastically asking the lady who took the order "would you have written a turkey if a customer had ordered a turkey" etc. I was mortified and furious and I now only go back if I really have to. Shame, as most of the staff are pleasant but the best Italian butcher there left a while ago now. I now buy my meat via Riverford - excellent quality, but not cheap so we eat less of it. Sainsburys, I am sad to say, is also a beneficiary of their rudeness. Woodvale is excellent, particularly for beef, but it usually takes too long to get served with two active boys in tow. William Rose are sadly becoming a victim of their own success.

Just to add that Steve called at our house on Lordship Lane this morning and my stepmother parted with ?20 while I was out. Tony Dowsett does actually clean our windows, so I called him when I came home and no, it wasn't him. He is aware of the scam and is furious. Tony told me that another of his clients on Beauval Road was done on Tuesday and they drove round for an hour trying to find him, without success. He is going to contact the police and suggests that anyone else robbed in this manner does the same. I would seem this has been going on for over a year now, about time the police tried do something about it.

I think you must mean esph. Push Studios, run by the lovely Kevin, Colette and Nat, does not charge a membership fee and it's all pay as you go classes and personal training. I really recommend them. I know nothing about esph but my neighbours like it as they do some pretty good off peak deals and they are going for various health reasons, rather than fitness, if you get the drift. There has been a lot of discussion about esph on this board when it first opened. Just wanted to make sure that people didn't think you were talking about Push..!
