Hello Admin! Thanks for a fantastic forum. I keep clicking on attachments (like images), expecting them to open in a new browser tab - instead the browser will keep the same tab, navigate away from the forum page and to the attachment. Have you ever considered adding a target=_new or similar to linked attachments? I think this may be more along the lines of typical UX expectations of today and I noticed that this is already the behaviour for links in posts. Would be awesome if it was doing the same with the attachments! Curious to hear if anyone else is thinking the same thing.

I am running BT infinity with a fiber all the way into the livingroom down in honor oak park. We have had a rock solid service except for once when there was an issue with the exchange. At the time, I must say BT support were excellent and communicated very well throughout the hours of down time. Are you using Apple products by any chance? I am software engineer and we are mostly running apple products at home. I found that BT is using a technology called PPP over Ethernet (nothing unusual or non-standard about that) and that this didn't work well with Apple products. When I was using the BT router, there would be intermittent disconnections, blips in file transfers, random small transmission breakups. I replaced my BT router with an Apple Time capsule and everything has been solid ever since. This may be worth trying. As far as I understand things, this is not a BT problem - more a case of Apple products being "better friends" with other Apple products. Also, if you are using wifi, it could be a case of poor radio signals. Old victorian buildings can be very wifi-unfriendly. Try buying a wifi extender. There are also a little thing you can buy on amazon which routes your network from the router to a computer via the power lines in your house. I found this being a great solution, especially going from say the ground floor to the first floor.

You are sure it's not fox poo?

Is that matron Hilary from Getting On? http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/640x360/legacy/clip/p00c5sgt.jpg?nodefault=true

For nice local crafts stuff, I recommend LOIS down in Peckham (Bellenden side). Seems cheaper, more original, and in support of local crafts artists: http://www.lois.me.uk/

The crafty fox market is pretty good: http://www.craftyfoxmarket.co.uk/

- The Horniman museum is an amazing place for kids! Also, they have a lovely farmers market on Saturday mornings. Across the road from the beautiful horniman park is a really nice playground. - The sydenham hill woods (dulwich woods) is a great spot for a bit of urban forest adventure. You can walk through the woods, up to sydenham hill station, then down college road and through dulwich park home. It's a lovely walk, i do it sometimes with my seven year old. But it is relatively long. - Forest Hill Pools are fairly close by and they do good swim schools for kids. - Climb one tree hill for an amazing view of London! Wood vale is a great location if you have kids. There are lots of cool places to go in your local area.

Ack! I love that place!

Wanting to live in an area which isn't changing and deciding to move to Dulwich four years ago sounds like a complete mismatch to me - what did you expect exactly?

Where exactly is Nunhead Village? Between Packham Rye Park and Nunhead station?

We recently got set up with http://www.verisure.co.uk which has been great so far.

This looks like a fairly normal semi, just came on the market for 1.15M: http://www.haart.co.uk/buying/4-bedroom-semi-for-sale/east+dulwich-london-se22/hrt023608358/

Any chance you could post a picture?

oh sorry! Good point! I was a bit in hurry doing the map and struggling a bit with the new google maps interface! Yes, this is a very important point! That roundabout is scary... Much better as katanita suggests to use the Meadow Row/Rockingham street cycle bypass!

Here's the route I have been cycling to Soho for the past couple of years. All back streets, safety over speed. Takes about 45 minutes. Cycling in London is amazing! https://mapsengine.google.com/map/viewer?mid=zqzxpUQbL2dU.kChdBBuYDR5c

There seems to be a text message service you can use here: http://www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/internet/en/power-cuts/Receive-text-updates-during-power-cuts.html Most modern home alarm systems will notify you too if the power cut is longer than a couple of minutes.

For us (in honor oak park), power was out for about 2 seconds.

You may want to consider a solution such as wordpress or bootstrap where content is separated from style and where there are defaults and stylesheets that works out of the box. Many such web frameworks will handle browsers, resolution, mobile, SKUs etc. automatically for you. This makes it a lot easier to build a site which works everywhere, looks nice and consistent. And the maintainer can spend more time on the content side and less time worrying about technology aspects. :)

Do you guys think the further gentrification of nearby areas (Forest Hill, Honor Oak Park, even Catford) will even out the pricing situation? What will SE22/SE23 look like price wise 12-18 months from now?

The Horniman aquarium has got a nice collection!

> House prices have tripled since 1996. In 1985 the average house cost 3.4x the average wage. Now it is 6.1x and in London it as almost 9x. Nine times? That in itself is a rather alarming figure. What's that data based on? Curious to learn more about that 9x in particular. Thanks!
