Hi all, I also got Aria's number from here. He was very responsive, helpful and did what he said he would do! Would definitely use again and recommend.

I am very happy to recommend James. I called him to fix some central heating pipes and he came out the same day. Very positive and "can-do" attitude. Would definitely use him again.

Hi, Does anyone know who owns the chinese restaurant (now closed) called Chopsticks? Any clues would be much apreciated. Thanks,

Hi Ed, This forum is a very good way to communicate with local people - never joined a forum before, and there seems to be so much talent and local businesses out there! Not sure if its been suggested before but is there any merit in starting/setting up a "business corner" on the forum? not so people can advertise their wares, but more for advice, tips, sharing of information, drinking, airing problems, etc. I run a local business and always have questions, staff/premises/red tape issues and so on and thought i cant be the only one?! what do you think? - be gentle, its just an idea! thanks

I too think all of this is higly amusing. I was born in East Dulwich hospital, went to school at Heber and roam the streets of ED until my family moved to Forest Hill in 1981. I have view the current trend(iness) with a mixture of joy & dread. Am i glad that the run down pubs and retails units have had facelifts - Yes. Am i glad that family of my friends have sold they're properties to newbies for a small fortune? - Yes. I am sad that as i trip over trendy labelled 3 wheeled buggys parked in the doorway of Cafe Nero, wearing my weekend decorating clothes i get scornful looks from ladys wot lunch, looking at me as if the tradesmens entrance round the back. Dont give it love! - some of us 'ave been round these sides for donkeys! If we cant keep a mix of the new, the quirky and the old (just like London as a whole) then we better all pack up and get the hell out of Dodge!
