Crab Salad In Peckham high street.. I reccomend Toby I don't know if he does colour however But I have friends who had colour done by Masie there and are very happy..and their colour looks great

I'm pretty sure I've seen a guy that fits that description hanging around the area of LL in the past, I noticed him because he had a crazy look in his eye and was quite tall, skinny scruffy and dressed in black, looked like he was on drugs tbh..but the guy I recall was definately nearer 40 and his hair was balding in the centre somehow..in a kind of U shape. I just got a 'dont make eye contact' with him vibe. I hope they catch him soon its very scary..and I wish his victim a swift recovery.

so happy to hear it..I think they struggled when they first opened as they were percieved as yet another Pizza place But I enjoyed my food there and thought it fairly priced too..I'm a real believer in supporting local independents running any buisness is tough these days especially in the hospitality sector.

@beansproutwas it Dai Due Fratelli that you went to? It strikes me as beeing a real family run Italian..

As someone who's gradparents on both sides were immigrants, and someone old enough to remember my parents fear and anxiety over Enoch Powell I am deeply distubed by the rise of the far right, anti immigration and general xenophobia I am witnessing in the UK and in the tabloid press. seeing the cross of St George flag makes me shudder...rightly or wrongly I read it as a pro white anti anyone not of pure white christian origins. Without immigrants this country would be sc**wed. No Nurses, Dr's Dentists for starters. I was born here but sadly I don't feel particularly at home here any longer.

I donate to St Christophers which is a local charity that sadly looked after a friend of ours at the end of his life. It makes me angry to read here that the landlord increased the rent on the shop. There is also a really good charity shop for Sue Ryder next door to Sainsburys in Forest Hill- (I donate to them too..and rarely leave without making a purchase!) they do have some designer pieces at higher prices (Gucci, etc..which are usually in a cabinet in the window) but as a rule thier prices are very fair. I find 'Mary's save the Children' VERY overpriced much more so than StChristophers.

https://lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/education/adult/find-a-course/fashion-and-textiles-courses Here's the link to the courses at Brockley rise. Very easy to get to you can take a 185 bus from Lordship lane,and its a 3 min walk from the junction with Standstead Road

Really excellent sewing lessons at Lewisham Adult education on Brockley rise.. Highly reccomend

Hopefully this press will mean the Lido and gym will start to see improvements though I must admit that my experience with Fusion when they ran Forest Hill pools does'nt bode well-

Highly reccomend SE23 Podietry Near the Brockley Jack pub. P4 stops opposite I used to go to Woodwarde Rd but SE23 are way cheaper and a milliontimes better I've been going to them for around 5 years Allan (the owner) is incedible as are all their staff

Good luck!

what is an Activity A cardholder please?

🤣 After a horrible very long day at work I came home..read this post and laughed out loud....thank you! We made the error of visiting the one in Dulwich just after it opened...you missed nothing. I dont mind paying a bit more for something decent but honestly it was one of the most underwhelming badly cooked meals I've eaten, with an accompnayment of awful muzak and dire dire service . really overpriced too I agree.

this makes me realise how the world has changed...in the 90's I lived in Chelsea which you'd assume was a pretty safe neighbourhood..One night someone stole my beautiful and heavy (they were made of stone or concrete) fully planted windowboxes from my windowsills..I lived in a raised ground floor flat with a pretty steep drop to the basement, They must have climbed over the railings on the stairs and onto the sill then passed them to an accomplice..Impossible to do this solo. They also stole a beautiful stone owl that I had on the sill. I reported the theft to the police-this was the days before ring doorbells etc-they came filed a report and description of the stolen goods AND I got a letter and phone call from victims support!

'Ollies' ick 🙄! Such a kind of psudo matey middle class branding..Is 'Ollie' Megan's estranged husband? Theres a lot of money being thrown at these shopfits then having them completely ripped out and refurbed after a few years just seems a bit desprate and wasteful. This is why I support independent buisnesses.
