Has anyone else lost water? We're at the Lordship Lane end of Friern Road.

I've been told it's been fixed.

They've confirmed it's a complex leak to a mains pipe and are still working on it. Can't predict when it will be fixed. We've bought bottled water from Lordship Lane local.

I take it back! Still not sorted. Anyone else affected?

That was probably me! Have to say they responded quickly, including texting when the team were working on it. All seems ok now.

We're in one of the blocks of flats at the Lordship Lane end of Friern Road and have no water. Reported to Thames Water and they have registered it as an emergency. Might be as well to fill containers in case it's more widespread.

Apparently, Oliver has said it was parked on Ferris Road on the corner of Tyrrell Road. As you know if you saw the original post, it took 3 weeks for him to inform the owner it was missing.

Thanks, JohnJohn. I'll pass all this onto Genevieve. I believe the insurers are investigating.

Is there anyone who lives on Tyrrell Road who has CCTV? Did anyone see the van at any point? I would really love us to be able to help this poor woman who has got a new baby and no vehicle.

To be clear, the stolen camper van is not ours. We're among the creditors of the liquidated business and lost my late father's legacy. Oliver has not 'moved on' though whether he's working as the owner or (nominally?) as an employee for the new owner is open to question. This is the full post by the poor woman whose van has gone missing: 'My lovely applejack green van, home for many an adventure, has gone missing. Please look out for it - and spread this message far and wide. It was in the van garage to have a new seat fitted for my newborn daughter ready for our summer holiday when it went missing. If you're on the road, or looking to buy a van here or overseas please look out for it. Camper van community - I know you have eagle eyes - please look out for my beloved van and let me or the police know! Reg: NEY 465R Type: 1977 Westfalia VW camper van with original fittings Drive: European left-hand drive Fittings: Original fittings, pop top VIN: 2372100581 NB if anyone in south east London is looking to have any van work done, I would recommend that you avoid asking Oliver Taylor of East Dulwich Campers (which has now, I find out, gone into liquidation, though is still trading), also director of AOB Classics Ltd and also invoicing under Marco's Campers. It took him three weeks to let me know my van had disappeared from the street near him while I thought work was being done. http://eastdulwichcampers.co.uk'

The company you're talking about hire VW vans for holidays etc and are a completely different company to East Dulwich Campers, who are a garage. EDC had a separate part of their business, building VW Urban Campers in their factory in Poland. This is the company that has gone bust, though the Polish company still exists and it appears that EDC is also still operating from their unit in Tyrrell Road. Their website is still up but I don't want to link to it as publicising them is the last thing I want to do.

No, that's a completely separate company. East Dulwich Campers are in the next road up, in Tyrrell Road. The company is in liquidation with ?300,000 debt but is still trading. Full details are in the public domain at Companies House. See statement of affairs dated 7 March. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07924723/filing-history

Please watch out for this VW camper van, stolen while supposedly in the care of Oliver Taylor, at East Dulwich Campers. Full details here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/telegraphhillnoticeboard/permalink/1356497314410490/?pnref=story

Mark was also the founder of the East Dulwich Writers' Group and a close personal friend. His creative output was stupendous and his take on life was unique. We're still reeling. Hugs to you, Reggie. You're doing him proud. Mark would approve.

We're planning a Book Blast tomorrow (Wed) when we flood cyberspace with promotion for the anthology and for Shelter in an attempt to get #storiesforhomes trending. The anthology is currently reduced to ?12.44 on Amazon. At our launch party on Friday, we're planning to hand over a symbolic cheque to Shelter for money raised so far in royalties. It will be well in 4 figures. Thanks for your support!
