One of the Glazer partners back in the day was Caroline Sherry, who I think left in the last five years, and now seems to be at https://www.setfords.co.uk/our-people/profile/caroline_sherry/ . She always came across as a decent person. Perhaps she knows something about what's going on.

Peter did a great job redecorating our hallway--making the very noticeable damage from a water leak disappear and even fixing a broken spindle on the staircase.

Have never had an issue with No.148. But I do wish they hadn't chosen such a bland name for the restaurant. I still call it 'Mr Liu'.

I love this shop. I regard it as a joyful expression of colour and freshness on Lordship Lane. Like an art installation. I probably go there once a month, and if over a year it turns out that I spend £25 more than I would have done at Sainsbury's or M&S (and I've no idea if that's the case), then I'm more than happy to have paid for the convenience and the personality of the place.

Has Helen Hayes constituency boundary changed? I'm off Melbourne Grove, will she still be my MP?

Anyone getting the impression that the catchment areas are smaller this year?

Had the Pfizer a week ago. Slightly sore arm for a day, and during the night after the jab I got slight fluey/feverish symptoms, woke up at 3am feeling clammy. Next morning I was fine.

I think if your GP is not based at the TJC then it's your GP that will text you later with the follow-up appointment. If it's for a Pfizer vaccine then I'm guessing there may only be a couple of days notice (as happened with the first vaccine).

Perhaps I've been offered the covid jab because I got the flu jab, but I am Group 8 and have no underlying conditions, so am I the innocent beneficiary of an admin loophole? I don't know anyone else my age who has been offered the jab without either (a) being a frontline health worker (b) being around when there were spares or © having underlying conditions.

I'm in Group 8 (the over-55s) and NHS has just offered me an appointment at Tessa Jowell next Tuesday. This is at least a month earlier than I was expecting. Anyone else?

One outside No.10 Colwell Road today.

There was a really loud moped went along Colwell Rd the other evening three or four times between 2am and 5am, I would say.

Yes, very happy to add our endorsement of Alan - efficient, prompt, friendly, good value. The phone number for 123 Chimneys is: 020 8668 9914, based in Coulsdon.

This road closure seems to have started this morning. From what I could see, it's the junction between East Dulwich Grove and Melbourne Grove that is being worked on. A raised junction? Anyone know how long this closure is going to last?

Problems in Pellatt Road/Melbourne Grove/Colwell Rd are about to get much worse. The council ignored residents' advice and have started to paint excessively long double yellow lines at the corners of Playfield and elsewhere. The idea is supposedly to make the road safer. In practice it will enable cars to go faster around corners, including the blind corner on Colwell Road Meanwhile about ten parking spaces have been lost.

I've registered my objection to this absurd proposal, and would encourage others to do the same. https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/borough-wide-junction-protection/consultation/intro/

I don't know, that's why I want to hear from somebody who actually lived through it. Do the class of 2000 look back and think 'that was great'?

Were you - or was somebody you know - in the first cohort that went to the Charter School back in September 2000? I'd love to hear what it was like being the pioneering group at the school: was it an adventure, or did you feel like a guinea pig? Was there a clear vision, or did you feel you were making things up as you went along? Do you think it was a benefit or a drawback not having older year groups through your secondary years (compared with your peers in other schools)?

Thanks. According to the Southwark site, they've had the meeting but no announcement yet of the result.

Thanks, Nunheadmum, for the information. I find it bizarre that it's not on website as past info on Red Post Hill is up there. DDS

Can someone help me find the planning application info for the Charter School East Dulwich on the council website--basically has it been approved. I can find all about the hospital and what Red Post Hill is up to, but nothing on the new school. Am clearly missing a trick. Thanks in advance!
