Yes they piggy back off three - found a number to actually speak to them. We’re not fussed I was leaving, said they were having problems. Really is ridiculous - have worse reception in London than Devon - doesn’t connect at all now and I am along Southbank way. Calls keep being disconnected. Sadly, I am done with them - overcharged me for one month and not refunding. Going to Libra - not possible to be as bad as ID - literally been going on for months and as they admitted last year to me when I was having problems with their ap “ yes, we have been experiencing problems”!,

Love Dulwich must be included. Another lovely meal, freshly cooked. Use to always support other places on the lane but quite a few of them din’t reach even the basic mark of freshly cooked food. Guess will see the likes of Megans closing - staff retention is zero & cooks change regularly. Hate chains, but that is personal. Hopefully Jonnies will remain - since people who use them, have been using them for years and generations.

Pity I am not going to be around - always find something.

Never had a problem with Poundland - good selection of stock and shop is clean. I have always found staff helpful, pleasant and go out of their way to try and help. one in Barnstaple in Devon is I believe closing down- shop is not laid out as well, cramped and not a pleasant experience. Sure there is going to be major complaints when it closes. if the shop closes in East Dulwich, without doubt local community will complain - not everyone can afford prices that other shops charge.

Having just returned briefly to the area, just had to recommend this cafe. Had an excellent breakfast at the same cost as any other cafe in East Dulwich - and not as good.. Light and bright with attentive staff. Nothing to much trouble. Tables well spaced and attention paid to cleanliness. Child friendly with a separate menu for them. A comprehensive food menu with the usual alcoholic drinks plus cocktails. Will certainly be back - long may they remain. A great addition to the area. Opening hours Mon - Sun 8.45 - 5.00

Still looking

Been with them for years but over the last year, service has really dropped. Can’t load or access site and having finally found a contact number for them, have confirmed that for months now they have had internet problems. Can’t even make calls on a regular basis. Didn’t even want to encourage me to stay! So sadly I am off. Been recommended Labara - looks good and I believe piggy backs off Vodaphone which can’t be as bad as Three. Any views? Tks.

Hello All, I will be driving to Devon and was wondering if anyone fancies a lift and to share petrol costs? Thanks

Any of the above looking for a new home?

Been with ID for years and thank you I do know how to access wi fi - and don’t have the problems I have been experiencing recently. Even asked a young person today on the train and they could not understand it either. No problem with my android phone at all - Well not to this level. As an example, would not connect ie my iPhone at Waterloo Station today - had various staff members try - result had to pay for a return ticket on top of what I had already paid out!! Sat in a Curry store, about 10 days ago and refused to move until they had sorted out the fact that ID had locked me out of the system. Did get it all sorted out and running via help from ID - they are an online company but Curry’s have, let’s call it a “hot line” to them. I have found a number as well on line - who knows if it works or not - I am classified as a vulnerable person, hate to have to use it as a way of getting a result. No joy what so ever at the Apple Shop - couldn’t even get them to book an apt for me at their tech team for the same day - was prepared to wait a couple of hours but no, come back following day at blah time and noI did not use my disability to get more help. Bus is fine, outside is patchy but so be it - just have to find a good spot, can connected to all free wi fi in Malls and pubs, cafe etc. Please give me the name of a reputable phone shop, if you have one. You seem to be having difficulties as well with your laptop/ computer etc My phone is only 2 /3 years old.. Thanks for your comments and replying.

Hi, Over the last few months, even though i phone is up to date with security, I am having several problems. The most frustrating is going on long journeys by train and just not connecting or at best very patchy with free Wi-Fi - as on train. Apps especially train line just not connecting at all but strangely iPad works well. Been to Apple Shops - no help at all. Switched it off waited and switched on again - nothing..! Beginning to drive me abit insane and certain,y very grumpy! I am with id mobile and have been with them for years. In despair bought an android phone and pay as you go with EE to test out before taking a contract - certainly much better all round but all my stuff is on iPhone and really don’t need to take two phones out & about with me. Are folk happy with EE? I won’t go near Virgin or Sky - had bad experience with both. Do I need to add extra security to iPhone? Thought they were “King” of that side. Something must be overlooked by me as aside from above seem to have regular scams a well Can I take it somewhere reliable for someone to check my settings? Done all that and still having problems. All helpful suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Any of these things looking for a new home?

Look on air b n b - Tulse Hill Hotel has - think it might be noisy as does Pub, can’t remember name in Herne Hill - and Lilac House in West Dulwich

Hi, Anyone selling any cushions or giving away for free? 2 or 4 please. Ideally any tone of blue and not feather infill - yellow or grey also good. Thank you and have a good day

Hi, Julia is an old friend of mine and a talented artist. I have been travelling and would like to find out how she is or if anyone has any news about her. I have been in touch with some of her friends but since the care home she as in, in Peckham has closed down, everyone seems to have lost touch with her and there does not seem to be anyway of contacting the company who ran the care home. She featured in one of the local newspapers in 2022 when there was an article written about her when she was in the care home. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction then please pm me. Many thanks.

Great new restaurant - set lunch is good value and dinner isn’t that expensive, freshly cooked and always willing to provide a doggie bag.

Rye cars V or uber - haven’t been let down by either

Cuppa with a copper must be an ongoing initiative - was walking in the village a few weeks ago and saw a posting - thinking about it, good way for locals to discuss their concerns especially if they are single people, families and older folk who have concerns but unclear where or who to contact to address their concerns. Bringing community spirit back to areas in London - and showing a police presence if only for a few hours a month.

T his is where tea with a cop would be so so useful. ED is not theonly place. Walking in DV yesterday, this service was also offered. Let’s face it - the police are stretched to their limits as it is - not saying that the incident is not important, but as a community, we should be working/helping together. Clocks have only just changed - opportunist are only going to try it on more - kids, older folk, disabled etc. community spirit is what is needed for all

Was in DV yesterday and was shocked to see what they are doing at the end of Court Lane - why on earth do they have to lay new paving stones on ones they have already laid to give locals and area to sit. Total waste of tax payers money and looks as though it will be going on for sometime judging by the materials etc being stacked at Ed of Court Lane. People and cyclist now share a small walkway and yes, plenty of leaves to slip on..

I am also with id

Hi, Mine is in storage and was wondering if I could borrow one overnight. Could also pick up on Monday.Thanks

I am no longer in ED…the point is there is never going to be a good time for everyone.. Be very grateful to have this opportunity to engage with pc plod.. It is held in a church, which may I add safe - for everyone..

Would it not be possible to organise a team or zoom meeting so more local residents have the benefit / even if it is once a quarter?together with once a month face to face especially as local crime is c on the increase. So many local residents are missing out - housebound, families, people who work. Have to say, quite surprised that this ward and police have the time to do this.
