Pugwash

Reminder that the Dulwich Hill SNT meeting will be held today at 17.30 (5.30 pm) at Christ Church Barry Road.

Friends who live in the area come in to feed our cat whenever we go away for a few days.

Our youngest daughter went to St Anthony's many years ago. My husband is catholic, and was a regular attendee at St, Thomas More, so she met the criteria. I cannot think that a child of nursery age would be expected to attend mass on a weekly basis.

Have you reported this to your Safer Neighbourhood Team? Might be the start of a new 'crime wave'. What area are you? The Dulwich Hill SNT quarterly meeting is being held on Monday 10th March 5.30 - 6.30 pm at Christ Church Barry Road. Earlier than normal due to shift pattens,

The long empty site at the top of Lordship Lane by the Library is now a cute little bar and restaurant - Victus and Bibo. We had a few beers there on Saturday night and it was very welcoming. Not noticed this when passed today - so used to it being closed. When the original restaurant (Moulin) closed down, the new owners said they were going to have a new restaurant after modernising the premises. This was around 10 years ago!.

Premier Inn or Travel Lodge. Social Housing with genuine affordable rents.

I would appeal. When working I had a Southwark wide parking permit as my job as a Southwark employee took me all over the borough. Myself and colleague were parked outside our office as usual and got a PCN. We appealed and won and it turned out that the parking warden misread the initials on our permits AS (all Southwark) and took it to be that we were incorrectly parked in a Residents Bay.

It is a catch 22 situation. My neighbours have been trying to sell their 4 bed semi house for more than a year - 2 lots of buyers have dropped out. As only 2 of them living in the house, they want to downsize in the ED area but need ground floor flat with 2 beds plus parking as wife is disabled, has a blue badge and mobility scooter. They tell me that there is a shortage of such properties in the area at a price they could afford. Sometimes you have to take the risk that you will not be ripped off by the council with future works planned.

Household items (not electrical) CDs/ records/books in addition to items mentioned on poster.

The Give and Take event as above. Will also take household items (not electrics) books/CDs. No food or paint please.

Avoid council leasehold properties - especially if it is in a block. If council decide to do maintenance/refurbishments of the block you will be charged for the work whilst tenants will be free. Could end up owing thousands of pounds, Equally if a shared house. Our old neighbour purchased his top floor flat from council, Spend thousands on it rectifying years of neglect by LBS. A couple of years later, LBS decided to paint exterior and charged him £5000 whilst the ground floor tenant did not have to contribute. Within 6 months the paint flaked. He tried unsuccessfully to get some money back. In the end he sold up, and gained a small profit for the internal refurbishment and the addition of an exterior staircase into the shared garden.

Many years ago whilst a male friend was canvassing during election time, he knocked on a door in Crystal Palace Road. Was greeted by a lady in glamorous (according to him) nightwear who offered her services in exchange for voting for a particular candidate! Our friend, who must have been in his 60s at that point , politely declined. We all had a good laugh over this and every time people went canvassing for years afterwards, they were regaled with this story.

Noticed that Car Giant is listed as being in White City. Prefer somewhere in South London/Bromley area as have difficulty accessing some public transport due to mobility issues. The body work of my car is not brilliant and this could cause it to fail MOT
