Just want to say the service from these guys is incredible. We had an added complication through no fault of Top Signals but they swiftly returned and helped fix the problem Utterly brilliant company

Max has just carried out some bits that needed sorting g at my work too! Very good guy

Bumping as I know a recommendation has bee requested

Hi there Just wanted to put a recommendation out for Max McHugh, of RDM Electrical We booked him recently for some works at home and he arrive on time, did a brilliant job, tidied up and left the room immaculate, was a reasonable charge and in line with other quotes and just a really good guy! 5 star review and highly recommend His details are Max McHugh 07787 414 424 [email protected]

Bumping this post to extend our thanks to Dan and his guys who have helped solve an ongoing problem with our WiFi at home! Problem was that the WiFi was not reaching around the house and kids could not do computer based homework. After much detective work, Dan found the fault, fixed it, set about adjusting stuff that I can?t even begin to name and voila, we have computers that work, a tv that works, sky where if should be and Netflix! (Don?t get out much!!) All joking aside, Dan was cheerful, knowledgable, helpful, punctual and kept to the quote. He left a tidy job, brought in a sub contractor to do an electrical job (which was signed off) and was a real professional throughout His quote was similar to two others and we would not hesitate to recommend his company to our friends, family and the forum!

Hello All I want to thank everyone who has kindly donated to this wonderful fundraiser. We managed to get over 100 meals each Friday for many weeks, to those in need in Nunhead. You have been wonderful and I can?t thank you enough It?s not over yet but I can feel the donations have slowed down. If you are able to donate to keep this going, I know it would be appreciated. You have helped make amazing things happen and I can?t thank you all enough 💕💕💕

Westminster House Youth Club - Your Local Youth Club Needs You........... I have had many sleepless nights in this past few weeks with the pandemic creeping through my business and wiping out event after event. It has woven itself through my life and through the lives of friends whose loved ones have been stolen, and I can only watch friends grieve from a safe distance. Like most people, I have done what I can to keep myself sane while putting on a brave face and smile, as always, with a ?show must go on? fa?ade. Without question, we all owe huge thanks to our doctors, nurses and care workers along with other essential service workers who are daily, risking their lives to save our relatives and friends who are dying alone in Covid-19 wards. I am proud to join those standing outside every Thursday as we clap hands to express our thanks. It troubles me however, to know that some of us here in South East London live fairly luxurious lifestyles at a time when children will go hungry and unnoticed on our doorstep. I have honestly not stopped thinking about one group of people that have been worrying me more than most and those are our teenagers and young adults. Those that are approaching teens or who have actually gotten there. Those that rely on school to have a structure to their day and to have at least one good meal too. Those young people that are in large families and small overcrowded homes who are caged together and unable to observe social distancing. As schools ?return? on 20th April and families return to home schooling, there is inevitably a distinct difference between the haves, and have nots. Some do not even have access to paper and educational supplies that we take for granted and they are relying on Youth Club Manager Kate to distribute. Young people are used to visiting Westminster House Youth Club in Nunhead as a familiar, safe place to go and spend time with adults who are trained to help, support and guide them. Now they are no longer permitted to leave their home, and life before lockdown is just a distant memory. Westminster House Youth Club have arranged fuel poverty support for those in need through the Salvation Army. They have secured some basic fruit and vegetables which are being sent to families in dire need and have personal hygiene items going to families who are currently unable to fund these items. Whilst we wait for restrictions on our ?normal? life to be relaxed, I would like to concentrate and focus on what I am good at ? feeding people a delicious, healthy, nutritious meal. Meals for those who may be unable to work, shop and cook due to Covid-19 restrictions and for those families who are now forced to self-isolate and have much younger siblings unable to offer stable support or have the knowledge to cook from scratch when our immune systems are in desperate need of a boost. As many of you know, I have given 100% of the profits from my East Dulwich Supper Club to Westminster House Youth Club to fund our partnered programme Cooking From Scratch and Bridging The Gap. This offers monthly cookery classes to young people and then these young people invite the elder generation in the community to the club for Afternoon Tea where the young people bake, serve and dine alongside them. Now, is your opportunity to join me as I am crowd funding to raise money to provide cooked meals for the young people, their families and those in desperate need in the local community. SE15 is a postcode which is divided; on one side gentrification and on the other extreme poverty. Now it really is your turn? Your turn to read my why? Your turn to be my who? Your turn to realise lend your support. With weeks ahead without any hope of work, and in a time of prolonged uncertainty, your donation will make such a huge and important difference. I will put my money where my mouth is and have started the fund with ?100.00. I have used my network of contacts to find self employed chefs who are ready, willing and able to cook a variety of meals to suite all palates, these will passed to Kate who runs WHYC and she will distribute to those families most in need. Please, if you are working from home (#WFH) and saving on travel and/or lunches then why not donate your #lockdownlunch savings to a good cause? 60 meals a week over 10 weeks will cost ?2,000.00 120 meals a week over 10 weeks will cost ?4,000.00 180 meals a week over 10 weeks will cost ?6,000.00 240 meals a week over 10 weeks will cost ?8,000.00 300 meals a week over 10 weeks will cost ?10,000.00 As a final thought?. Eating a well-balanced nutritious diet is important for supporting the immune system; the nutrients then influence the body?s ability to fight infection. The World Health Organisation suggests that, while no one food will cure the Covid-19 pandemic, a healthy diet helps strengthen our immune systems ability to cope with infections.

Excellent, thank you Alice. There you go. Another one to add to the list!

Hi all, As a local mum, I thought we can help each other. Here are some ideas Amanda (who works with me) and I have had so far for home schooling. We think it is a great chance to teach kids some life skills, not just to keep their maths and English going..... Firstly (and thank you to my Amanda in the office for realising this could help parents too)... I am doing daily "Cupboard Cookery Classes" on Instagram (via Instagram TV) ? [www.instagram.com] This could be used as part of your home schooling timetable - I will teach basic cookery skills along with easy recipes based on what you might have in ? you can even tell me what is in your cupboard and I will try to come up with a recipe. Art:Bob Biddulph Art - Google "Draw with Bob" he is doing twice weekly challenges on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Drama: Google "The Drama Geezers" they are doing classes (daily we think) - gets kids moving! Language: Duo Lingo is amazing, and if you have any friends overseas, get them to do a daily FaceTime classes - so many of us are housebound - let's all help each other learn a new language! Maths: Amanda has found an AMAZING maths tutor who can do online classes, she's brilliant - find Amy Chiu on Facebook if you are interested. Art History or Cultural stuff: Do you have any friends who worked in museums now stuck at home? Would they do a daily FaceTime on art/culture? English: Let's all read books again! Project work: let your child choose a subject and do a project, get them a nice scrap book (off Amazon maybe)? to use to set it up. Science: You can get fun stuff on Amazon Workbooks for age bands: You can get on Amazon Life skills: sewing, mortgages, banking and life in general. Also subscribing to "This Week" newspaper for children and going to use that as a basis for some study each week. This is just a start, and we are both new to all this, so please add your top tips below! Take care, all of us at Suzanne James Catering & Events

Hi Admin, This wasn't a general post about internet speeds (I know they come up all the time), it was a very specific post as I was trying to ascertain whether the roadworks have taken a cable out..... I fear it wont be seen in the Lounge, does it really have to be relagated here?

Hi, Just checking to see if anyone else has got problems with internet, specifically since Wednesday afternoon (11th September). It might just be us, but given Thames Water are digging up the road it could be all connected and trying to work out if it is. Please post here if you have problems too. Thanks.

Same happened to me last night! A good rummage but nothing taken - didn?t even look for the bottle of wine in the rear seat footwell or just didn?t fancy it! Be alert everyone

I am a business and resident in SE22 and have not even received my pack yet! This is, imho, not a good way forward. Please sign the petition to try to stop or st least delay this
