Thanks everybody. It did get collected on Tues evening.

Hi, Our recycling bin has not been emptied for two weeks now. Generally, we have a once-weekly Tuesday morning collection. I have rung Southwark and am waiting for a call back. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Or does anyone know if there is a change in the service? Thanks

Hello, Does anyone know if there is a local collection point for clothes etc for refugees? Some time ago there was a collection at the Dulwich Hamlet Football Grounds...Thanks.

One reason why I prefer the road rather than the pavement: the road is far more evenly surfaced. If you have any mobility issues, walking along an even surface is not only easier but also safer.

I think if they don't have permission, the sign should come down. If it is supposed to be directional,then maybe a mini road map showing ALL the retailers and businesses on NX Road should be put up in its place.

Is anyone experiencing problems with EE in this area? I've had "no service" for 24 hours now...emergency calls only.

A recommendation for Steve who came and helped tidy up my garden, clear out weeds, dig in new plants, and generally leave it looking like it should!Really helpful and pleasant to have around. Would have him back next year for sure.

Actually, I think the PH chain is larger than people may know, and in fact is part of Cineworld, which owns several multiplexes. Quite different from what it was when it started off...

I am sure that I will sing the praises of ED PH, loudly and eloquently, after I visit. Along with many others, I too have been waiting for a local cinema, and when it was announced that it was a PH, even more so. I am a PH fan!

I had thought that being a very long standing member of PH, and them having tickets available, that they would relax their "Rule"!

And yes, I can waltz into another - the same benefits regardless of which PH you attend. But obviously not the members' events for founding members of the ED PH!

Looking forward to visiting the new cinema. On Friday afternoon, I called to see if I could get a ticket - there were a good number available. But no, I was refused on the basis that I was not a FOUNDING member. No matter that I have been resident in the area for 30 years or so (so hopefully qualify on that front)and perhaps more relevant, that I have been a Picturehouse member since they started their membership scheme. The conversation took some bizarre turns: PH: But when you joined Picturehouse, you must have selected your "home" cinema to visit. ME: Yes, I did and it was the Ritzy. PH: So you selected the ritzy... ME: Well yes, it was 20 years ago and the ED picturehouse was nowhere in the picture. PH: But since you did not join the ED PH, we can't let you attend today. ME: And my having been a member for 20 years counts for nothing? And that you actually have tickets available and it's late Friday afternoon already. PH: No, you should have selected ED as your home cinema... and so on. Oh well! Off to the ritzy now...

And what about longstanding Picturehouse members? I've been a member since Year Dot, but bet I don't qualify to attend the opening. It's a bit like those offers from mortgage lenders who have great rates for newcomers...

Can't see why the cinema won't last...I am someone who goes to the Ritzy at least fortnightly. Well, I'll stop that and go to ED instead once it opens. This is most probably what many existing members will do - shift location.

As a preventative measure - useful to mark things like laptops etc with the invisible ink marker that the police can give you and to take photographs of possessions, especially jewellery.

Apparently Mediterranean diets are good for us! Want an Italian caf?? There's one near where I work - Farringdon / Clerkenwell - old style and today full of Italians! Must be good! I only buy their products from the deli but it was full!

Why not call women's Aid and they might help you? Refuge addresses are kept confidential.

Wonderful! Am never moving out of ED...

Oh no...that's pretty awful...
