Took a walk this evening in the garden section of Peckham Rye (japenese, sexby etc.) Now, I am not a fan of dogs, so the fact that on entrance there were signs saying that all dogs needed to be kept on leads in this section made me pretty relaxed and happy. Sorry to say that not one dog walker had their dog on a lead here, and one dog had me in tears I was so afraid as it bounded up to me. I find it hard to enjoy our local parks, purely because no dog owner seems to be able to control their animals. Yes I appreciate that parks are prime dog walking areas, but equally, I expect dog owners to be able to control their animals. When I have showed how scared I am I have been laughed at with no apology. I don't really consider it acceptable to have dogs running up to me, jumping up at me, stealing our food/picnic etc ? and the owners not really giving a ****. I appreciate I am a very small minority with my fear ? are there any green spaces I can enjoy without having to worry about dogs that technically should be kept on their leads? Thanks

Does anyone know if ED station is still open, or if the buses are running through ED still?

Hi As a long term sufferer of eczema I have tried pretty much everything to beat it. I can thoroughly recommend DiproBase ? get it in a bit bottle with a pump rather than a little tube. I have also done a bit of reading about the benefits of flaxseed oil & eczema. I take that every day. I know this thread is for your baby. When I was small my mum uses to prick an evening primrose oil capsule with a pin and add it to my food/drink so that I could ingest it that way as that is also good for skin problems. Perhaps worth reading up on treatments like this to work along side the steroid creams. Also food plays a massive part ? wheat & dairy can be big trigger for flare ups for both eczema & asthma. Washing powder too is another one!

Oh thanks guys that's really helpful Sean I think I'll see what the walk is like from Waterloo? great idea It's actually Holborn I work in, but as the bus goes to TCR I thought I'd walk the ten mins or so from there to get to work for 9am. But the walk from Waterloo bridge will be just as easy. Thank you !!:)

Hi all First post; moving to ED in a few days. I love your forum Just wondered if someone could let me know if the 176 ever runs to timetable in the mornings? I'll be picking it up near Overhill Rd, and need to be at tot ct rd for 8.45ish Am I likely to get a seat or is this wildly hopeful?:)-D Have seen from above posts the other options for routes but I need to keep my travel costs as low as poss, hence bus. Thanks!
