@SingingWilks yes! that makes sense Thank you

@Cyclemonkey@Penguin68 Yes I heard that... I thought it was thunder at first and it did indeed sound like shelling

it did seem like a rediculous almost troll like post... I did'nt love the property/it was'nt priced like a probate property which is what I'd asked for/I can afford 5k (or whatever...) extra insurance premium its not about the extra cost/also considering Clapham etc etc.. I reiterate that anyone daft enough to put in an offer on a property which I gather is over 800k and go as far as having a survey done on a house they actually admit they did'nt like..then being 'embarrased' when they survey throws up previously unmentioned issues and posts on a forum asking what to do really needs to stand back and have a good look at what on earth they are doing. I may have implied that..I was incredulous when I read what she posted. it did'nt make sense throwing money into buying a house you didnt want then agonising over it.

Yesterday evening we were driving at 6.30pm ish and at least 2 out of 3 cyclists we passed were either in dark colours, no helmet or high viz and without working lights..It was shocking actually because in side streets without many lights they became virtually invisible. We also witnessed an E-Scooter rider in black no lights weaving through moving traffic..obviously not in a helmet. its sad to see someone wearing an expensive Puffa Jacket who cant be bothered to pay a small amount for working lights on their bike.

I go to the dry cleaner on Dartmouth road in Forest Hill..I have a lot of vintage and designer clothes and I've been going to Eddie for years, They are'nt a 'specialist dry cleaner' but I've always found their care to be meticulous. The one that the Designer boutiques in The West end use is Buckingham Dry cleaners They are based in Mayfair and I believe they will do a home collection and delivery. I worked in designer fashion retail and my employers always used them ££££ so I've always gone to the one on Dartmouth Road https://www.buckinghamdrycleaners.com/service/dry-cleaning/ Edited to add..For a specialist service I doubt there would be anyone locally I just reccomend on personal experience. Buckingham are gold star service and you can message them about the garment in advance...

Thanks for posting this, I've always been intrieged by that house having glimpsed it passing by..It truly is the dream

if small family homes are priced at £2.000.000 in SE22 I suspect they are over priced.

Fireworks yesterday evening that scared our elderly cat and sent him hiding under our bed (his safe place). about 10 miniutes ago they started again.. another night of the cat lying terrifed under the bed. Its so selfish and unfair!

yes..Its where Brockley Jack is on Brockley rise (?) the area is known as Crofton park-at least the station is....Its kind of sandwhiched twixt Brockley and Honor Oak.

up forest Hill road to Crofton park/Brockley rise and straight through the back streets?

I agree 100% the destinations of our local bus routes are a bit c**p.

Waitrose? Or a mega Gails?

yes.. I think it has. I prefered it when Everyone Active had the contract..and an additional benefit was being able to acess other EA gyms across London. Plus I think the equipment in the gym was of better quality.

Its crazy, they raise membership prices due to the refurb but things are worse than before.

@beansprout I don't think Gails has closed, Do you mean Megans? I've never seen waiters at Gails. If you do mean Megans unfortunately I believe its just closed for refurbishment to be relaunched as some similarly awful 'concept'
