To the lady in East Dulwich M&S
Designerjooles replied to eastdulwichavenger's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Despite yes: politeness is a preferred state within the community - many disabilities are hidden and perhaps there was additional issues going on. Dementia, Autism just to name two often mean supermarkets can be hella scary and just the need to get something to eat can be terrifying. I know it can be uncomfortable to witness, but all is often not what it seems, and in this light we all need as much compassion as we can muster on a day to day basis. -

Missing Parcels From Dulwich delivery office
Designerjooles replied to addy's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I recently had a parcel scanned at my door (i wasn't in) red card left, and not scanned back into Sylvester Road depot for another week. Was told that the person was a part-time person and so they didn't know where it was until she came back to work a week later! I couldn't believe it! When it finally turned up - it had dead leaf matter all over it - so i have no idea where it spent a week :( -
anything I can do about a dodgy sale on EDF?
Designerjooles replied to hwilliams's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
The benefit of buying off ebay is that you are actually guaranteed protection - and even more so if you pay through paypal! The seller doesn't even recieve your money immediately catching any "dodgy" sellers, furthermore, paypal protects your money and both companies work better for a buyer than a seller these days. You can raise a problem and immediately your money is secure, you can send the product back and are refunded if all procedures followed :) I hope that demistifies the old concerns about ebay and how risky it is. -
Burgess Park Water fountains
Designerjooles replied to gebbjane's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hi Gebbjane. We went yesterday and they were still under repair... -
If you are all in ownership of your properties, have a look at the joint tenancy agreement that would have been provided with the sale of your property and it will outline a set of "rules" as such that each tenant (mortgage or not) MUST adhere to. This includes some random stuff like "no shaking carpets outside", but also crucially includes a clause that talks about un-necessary damage caused and what needs to happen if that happens. Because it has happened on several occasions, the "tenant" upstairs is effectively in breach of this contract and therefore by law you can start proceedings on them for undue stress and cost of repairs. Perhaps however this might be best explained over a cup of tea of your grievances - if you (and they) could manage! Good luck!

This is the best thread I've read in years...

Nursery experienced with autism
Designerjooles replied to mama79's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Hey mama79, Hope your doing ok this Mother's Day! I know it all feels terrifying right now - but try to hang in there! My son was diagnosed too when he was 2 and I've lived in East Dulwich for a long time so know a few contacts and bits of help that would be my pleasure to pass onto you. I've not had the means to pay for any private help for my boy - so everything has been through our amazing council. It can be done! If you'd like to meet for a coffee sometime - let me know. My boy is at school now, so I have time usually during the school day to meet :) Best, Jooles -
The Spin Doctor (Appliance Repair) Recommendation
Designerjooles replied to Mrs Tinks's topic in Reviews
Need to put my oar in here too - fantastic tradesperson! He diagnosed the problem over the phone and went onto explain why it wouldn't be worth the cost for him to come out and then get the part installed for my VERY old washer dryer. It is rare to find such a genuine person willing to help his community in this instance without even charge! Have now got a brand new one on the way - but if i ever need any help with any appliance - The Spin Doctor will be the first person i call. -
Srisky - you've messaged me and I can't message back as its saying your mailbox is full. Please let me know when I can reply :)

Well I was talking to the health shop people earlier - and apparently there has been a campaign (through amazing james barber) for a while now about that junction, and apparently the road is too narrow for a crossing!

It's the worst junction for crossing safely I've ever come across. My son and I avoid it at all costs
