Absolutely tragic news. Akif was such a lovely man, always full of joy. How very sad. Deepest condolences to all his family.

Suzanne James and her team are simply the best caterers and I would recommend without hesitation. We first met Sue 8 years ago when she catered the brunch following our Civil Partnership (which was stunning) and subsequently she has catered a few work and personal events for us. Most recently, she catered my 50th Birthday Party at home last weekend which was incredible. The event was flawless - with the friendliest, most accommodating and professional service team I have experienced, who went out of their way to make guests feel relaxed and special, with a constant attention to detail and refilled glasses. And the food was amazing, from the creativity of the canapés to the tasty selection of bowl food. How she and her team managed to produce such consistently incredible and artistic food throughout the evening from our home kitchen was a feat of monumental proportions. Sue's recommendations on the menu needed little input from me and the trust was not misplaced. I’m rarely at a loss for words but I can’t think of enough superlatives to describe the impact and taste of the food. Quite fabulous. And, the discreet diligence in tidying up without disturbing the ongoing party was hugely appreciated, meaning we descended bleary-eyed on Sunday morning to a clean kitchen, able to savour the happy memories of the night before without having to face a clean-up operation. Thank you!

Julian did an outstanding job for us last year fitting wardrobes in our bedroom, building bespoke bed side cabinets and creating a study. He came back a couple of weeks ago to do a smaller job creating a new cupboard unit. Would recommend him without hesitation. He has an incredible eye for detail, knows how to maximise space, comes up with creative solutions and is meticulous in his work. He listens carefully to what you want, comes up with great ideas and he's a really nice guy.

Julian has just finished fitting fabulous new wardrobes in our bedroom, created bespoke bedside cabinets and redesigned our study. Would recommend him without hesitation. His creativity in maximising the space was great, the quality of work excellent and attention to detail impressive. Julian was really diligent, taking great care to ensure precise measurements even to the millimetre to ensure that the erratic angles of our floors and ceilings didn't compromise the look of straight lines. Julian is a great communicator to ensure that you are kept informed during the project and can make decisions with him as you go. Open and transparent in his pricing, reliable and thorough, very happy to recommend him.

oh LondonMix, who knew such an innocent question of 23 April could reignite such passions which have been quietly hibernating over the winter months....... I vote for keeping Brissi in the old East Dulwich Deli (have developed a cushion and soft lighting addiction), opening a Prada (spring collection of shoes, hats, handbags and trans-seasonal trousers) in lieu of John Barnett and a Prawn-Mayo-on-Brown-Bread-with-corners-cut-off Sandwich Shop in the old "Golden City" on Whateley Road On your marks.....

Presumably the councillors made an informed decision on the basis of the facts presented to them and the balance of reasonableness, rather than "rolling over" - had they been persuaded by the counter arguments they would have voted against it; that is what we vote them in to do. If you don't like their decisions, vote them out at the next election and hold them to account for the promised reviews. As for "no-one is a winner except m&s and freeholder" is odd if, as suggested by the delivery debate, a significant number of people will use the store, providing new choice on the high street and draw in people who will doubtless also bring additional custom to existing caf?s, restaurants and other great shops on lordship lane.

I don't think it is wasteful; I for one am glad to see the council being proactive and improving the infrastracture of the area

Seriously? Throwing sand at a cat?! Should take you to Celia Hammond for a collar and a snip!! The micro-chip cat flaps are great and easily fitted even into glass.
