Thanks Admin, I still can't see the arrow for last post. Using Chrome on a laptop with latest Windows. My page looks like this- (See attachment). much appreciated! forum page.pdf

This is probably really simple but i can't find it - how do i get to the last post when i want to look at a topic? (Presumably there is something better than the right arrow to the end of pages?!) Thank you

Hi, maybe you know someone or can spread the word? I am looking for a single parent who would be interested in sharing a rented house with me? I have lived in the past for 7+ years with another single mother in a 5 bed house in ED with all the financial savings and support that comes with this arrangement. And it's great for the kids. I would love to do it again and am wondering if there are any like-minded people out there? I am happy for a mum or a dad and am the mum of one fifteen year old. And there seems to be more 4/5 bed houses out there right now than 2 bed flats and it costs so much less. Anyway putting feelers out to find someone if anyone here can help. It's a common enough situation! Many thanks JC

I agree with you KidKruger. Unfortunately my LL does not. He thinks i am being difficult and that he has done his bit and if i don't want to let that workman in and deal with him then that is my choice. and the work won't get done. Anyway - thank you!

thank you guys that link is excellent SiouxieSue

Thankyou everyone. the landlord employs an agency (of which he is a co-founder so a conflict of interest i think) and the agency says i have to have this guy. He then says things like 'you're not one of them are you?' when i ask him to distance or when i put on my own mask and is generally quite passive aggressive - down to I should be making him tea. Unfortunately he's hard to avoid when he is here because he doesn't do his job and i am constantly having to say things like 'that's not finished/fixed' or 'then when will it be finished/fixed' and if i don't make him cups of tea you can see how that doesn't go well - and i just want the work finished. I don't think landlord really cares. As far as he is concerned he has sent someone in. I feel really stuck.

HI My landlord keeps sending me a workman who won't wear a mask, wash his hands or socially distance and keeps insisting on cups of tea. I need some work done but do i really have to put up with this? He's says he's exempt but i don't believe him. I've asked to see the exemption and it's not forthcoming. But even with an exemption surely a workman who can't wear a mask isn't the right workman to be sent into people's homes at this time? I would really appreciate some advice Thank you!

my desk is in the front bay window where i can see the doorstep. Twice in the last few months i've been working there and the doorbell has gone off by itself. I reckon the same as Katanita - same frequency as someone else.

many thanks everyone - the day was saved! x

john allan is delivering - excellent still up for other ideas

Hi I'm in Sydenham and my friend is in ED. It's her birthday tomorrow and I'd love to get something delivered to her. Even just a token. Are any local businesses doing anything (within social distancing guidelines of course) - flowers, cake, a plant, a coffee and a slice of cake, a g and t? Just wondering - grateful for any thoughts (my father had a pint of Guinness delivered to him in rural Ireland yesterday out of the back of a van - courtesy of his local boozer!)

Do you want your nursery to be there or not when you go back to work?

Thank you PGC - I've passed that on! Stay well

who can't get one in the shops obvs and online is too long a wait - but cycling would get him to work faster and safer. He needs a large one. Lives in Stockwell and works in Warren St though he will send a cab to pick one up if any of you can help? pls text me on 07518012479 stay well and thank you

we had something similar happen to us in Forrest Hill a few weeks ago. They broke the glass. I reported it to the police. This was school boys aged maybe more like 15

i did try the doors to honk the horn - but (s)he actually managed to lock them

There is a southwark council van sitting on Muschamp running its engine for over an hour - with the headlights and windscreen wipers on and no sign of a driver. It's over heating too and the fumes are horrible. Any ideas what to do?

we saw two last summer up in the cubs/camping grounds in Dulwich

Can anyone tell me why it always seems impossible to get to London Bridge from PR station on a Saturday? If it is works then it is a LONG time. It seems particularly problematic now that the 40 no longer goes to LB. As our nearest hub LB is starting to feel a bit like a Shangri La! (Anyone got any good travel tips with fewest changes? Out of PR or ED) Thanks

Thank you Angelina - that is really kind! and soooo appreciated.

thanks guys - all very good to know! so here is where i am a little bit thick... our current Sky package is their cheapest one at 24 MB a month and NOW TV's Brilliant Boradband is saying speeds of up to 7mbps - am i missing something here? Are people above talking about the Brilliant package? Thank you for all your help!

Has anyone got any experience of it? The current offer sounds too good to be true! Any advice very welcome.

don't forget the paper man

Yadas is a great idea - very funky
