? Are you new to 21st C Britain? Performative, over-abundant cautiousness and eggshell phobia are endemic.

Sounds like over-cautious, fearful and patronising jobsworthiness on the part of the management. Makes one weep.

Wiki: The project was cancelled by then mayor of London Boris Johnsonin 2008 due to funding problems. A 2016 review of the CRT plan by subsequent mayor Sadiq Khan concluded that the CRT project would not be reopened at that time.[1]

I see lots of them in DP but not elsewhere, where crows rule the roost.

The boards are for services provided by the council and/or non-profit groups or state agencies. Private micro businesses are to be congratulated and supported but they are able to advertise their services elsewhere, now more than ever, as part of their business plan. (This also applies to those who insist on plastering lampposts and bus shelters with their advertising, complete with protruding plastic ties at eye height!)

They’re not there to be used by all and sundry for their private businesses (which earn money) — social media, postcards in shop windows, ads on the EDF and free newspapers are the right methods for that. I agree though that these notice boards should be kept in better nick and used as planned, namely to advertise council services etc.

I’ve 2 x cardigans each with small (10p piece) holes that need darning. Where is a good place? I’m unsure as to how much is a fair price, given the small size of the repair. Thanks

Try Mind and St Christopher’s - they generally accept such items, if bagged. There is a large bin at the car park of The Plough but it’s often full (despite my calls to the number provided) and some (on here) have said the organisation has links to certain charities/groups that one may find troubling. (Please do your own research. I cast no aspersions.)

The manager replied and said the hand cycle will be replaced shortly, so that’s good news and well received.

Can’t understand? It’s easy - they’re selfish. entitled and unneighbourly (unless they’ve requested a free pickup, but even then they ought to keep them in the garden or on DYL, etc.).

Trees are great - I plant and raise my own and petition the council to look at damaged specimens and plant more - but they need to be tended to when they’re in non-woodland spaces. I encourage all those who have a strong liking for trees to plant them, grow from seed etc. - much better for all than tapping on keypads.

No reply to my complaint about there being no hand cycle at the new gym, nor at Camberwell. I have resent it. If you see fit, please send your complaint about this omission to, requesting a reply: [email protected]

Why the description of their skin tone? It’s not as if there are likely to be more than one set of two men over the age of 60 playing noughties pop music with accompanying light display of a night on the Rye.
