Totally agree bil

Ditto everything said. Top guy too.

Hey James, you made it to 100 pages on the forum. Congratulations! A good 'vehicle' to understand the needs and views of those you represent.

Agree with comments here. Are they going to do this every year? Ridiculous. My beef is actually with Southern who have ruthlessly cut down all trees either side of the tracks in south London, with many not close to the railway lines. When you travel by train it used to feel like a green oasis - not any more. All because of the wrong kind of leaves I suspect ...

not sure there's the demand out there that the chains will need tho?

How to address high rents - I suspect that's a large part of the problem?

for me crstal palace road - bellenden road - lyndhurst way - cut through an estate - go through corner of burgess park - portland road - bypass elephant - up through trinity church sq - then borough high st and london bridge an absolute winner! 30 mins home to EC3.... No big roads until borough high st

Apologies if posted already but an interesting discussion on independent wine shops at the end of Sunday's Food Programme. Good interview with Green and Blue. You can listen on iplayer if you so wish! Great to see them getting some exposure.

peckhamboy you are absolutely bang on with your analysis. I think DC tried not to get sucked into the depths of a rabid GB who was always overrunning the time/cluncking fist etc - so he could appear to take the moral high ground. However the down side of this was that it did make him look a bit timid.

James, do we get better street lighting or is that for another day? thanks

James, Appreciate your efforts and responses. LL really needs another pedestrian crossing by East Dulwich Grove. Any news on this? best regards.

Great news about showing sport as precious few pubs seem to show it here (esp. rugby, cricket). Need a 'sporting replacement' for the Mag which with new owners turned too girlie for my liking!

thanks, was hoping somewhere else would show the game that was a bit less busy but still had a big screen, guess not...

anybody know if they are showing in the plough? big screen?? thanks

You know absolutely nothing about me so please don't make assumptions.

ibilly99 Quite agree. Enough is enough with regard to antisocial behaviour. Thoroughly fed up with it. Society needs to sort out this problem - much more proactively. I would love to tell these 'kids' 'what for' but we can't these days now can we for fear of something horrible happening. I've got young kids and not prepared to tolerate this kind of stuff - agressive behaviour, bad language etc. Especially when my kids become slightly older. Shame, was born in London and don't want to move out. The situation is significantly worse than say 20 years ago - that fact is without dispute. If it is disputed it's just another example of pseudo intellectual forum nonsense.

Keep saving for another year and buy in your preferred area; this crash has only just started....

Many thanks for this, and the thread in particular...

Hi All, Looking for some advice...I'm currently paying ?76 per month for buildings (only) insurance in SE22. This has gone up from ?56 in early 2005. Our house (4 beds, semi) had a partial underpinning in 1991 so when we bought it I went with the same insurer as the previous owners. No probs since 1991. I'm either thinking of writing to the financial ombudsman service about the current price of the insurance, or the alternative, presumably would be to get s structural engineers report giving the OK, and then onto a specialist insuerance broker. Anybody else been through this? Any advice, recommened people/companies and idea of costs? Perhaps ?76 per month is not outrageous for SE22 in reality? Thanks v. much.

This is outrageous. What to do?

Whoever decided to plant this on the roundabout is a genius. Every time I go past it makes me think of holidays!

This is indeed a nightmare of the highest order. I hope it somehow works outself out. Huge loss, if not.

snorky - you are so unbelievably sad. get a life.

Shame it's the CPT that might be going and not the run down, dodgy at times, Castle (which could be great though if it had a makeover....).

Hi, the keys I found were a lot more than 3... I have handed them in but was not massively reassured by the response I got, hence the post on this forum.
