Brilliant, thanks so much! J 🙂

Hi there, does anyone have a recommendation for a good local launderette? ED, Nunhead maybe? Many thanks! J 🙂

Does anyone know if the Honor Oak beacon will be lit for D-Day tonight? Thanks!

I've just objected on the Southwark website. Good luck! J

I totally recommend Elliot from Langley Carpentry. He has just installed a hanging guitar holder, and a large mirror, on the wall of our music room. We're delighted with the results. Elliot was punctual, friendly and efficient. He also suggested a brilliant solution to a problem we had with one of our walls - and the end result looked much better than my original idea. We'll definitely ask him back to do more work in future. Many thanks Elliot!

Thanks BB - really useful to know! J :-)

Friday 13 August at 10pm. My son was mugged by a man with a knife, on Piermont Green (opposite Peckham Rye Park). He was unhurt, but his phone was stolen. I have reported this information to the police. Description of person involved ? Wearing: Hoodie and tracksuit trousers. Age: Around 20. Build: 5ft 9ins tall. Ethnicity: Black. Sex: Male. Other details: Wearing a face covering.

Have signed and shared. Good luck Lou! V :-)

Wonderful! Well done Dillan and Rocky! :-)

So sorry to hear this - what a horrible experience for you both. Glad you've reported it. Have you reported it directly to Veolia as well? They should investigate - the man is clearly one of their employees...

Brilliant idea! Have donated and shared. Good luck Dillan and Rocky! J :-)

I agree - and if we want to give practical support to NHS staff, here's a link to the King's SOS appeal: https://supportkings.org.uk/sos

Brilliant! Well done Mirash, and thank you :-)

Thanks DKHB - The problem is that we've got a huge backlog now, and I think it would overwhelm the driver! Yes, I'll have a look in the store - maybe they have got them again now... J

Does anyone know where we can recycle plastic carrier bags now? We had to use them for our online supermarket deliveries during lockdown, so accumulated quite a backlog :-( Thanks! J

We recently had quite a bad mouse problem. We were impressed by the above reviews for Critter Solutions and contacted them. Roger and Elliot were brilliant. They came round promptly after we contacted them, and then weekly until the mouse problem was solved. They gave us lots of really useful info, about safety (for pets etc), the poison used (not as cruel as the old-fashioned ones), and how the whole process would work. The mice are now gone. Roger will come back if we have any further problems within the next 18 months. Roger and Elliot are great to have around - polite and friendly, and very efficient. Roger also has lots of fascinating anecdotes about his many years in the pest control business - an added bonus :-) Many thanks to Critter Solutions!

We've had things delivered by our milkman stolen by foxes - bread, margarine etc - until I hung up a bag in the porch so they couldn't reach them. We also have a cool box - with a well fitting lid - for the milk bottles. This is safe enough on the doorstep, against foxes. But in your case it seems unlikely that it was foxes - I doubt even the cleverest fox could steal two glass bottles of milk, without breaking and spilling them! So it does sound like humans :-(

Signed and shared - good luck! J :-)

Great idea - signed!

Hi Sophia, So sorry to hear you're ill! Yes it's easy to forget now that things seem to have turned a corner generally (let's hope this is indeed true), that some people are still unwell and we need to be considerate. Hope you get some peace and rest, and will soon be feeling much better, take care, J :-)

Great idea EDP - have now bought some. Thanks! J
