It's a terrible idea, will damage trade in Forest Hill Road and is just creating a nice private road for someone to enjoy. Congestion in the road is caused mainly by delivery vans, well, let's help stamp out those scourges. And an 18 month trial is at least a year too long if you are just interested in judging impact. And there has been no consultation at all, save, perhaps, with the privileged Rydale-ers. I live a block away in Underhill and I've heard only via social media.

My tree was collected with the normal garden waste collection on the normal day this week. Other trees left out, including by those without a garden waste brown bin were also collected. From Underhill.

If your tree is over 5ft you are meant to cut it short. Not that in the past I've seen over height trees rejected.

Yes, but not on a daily basis. The incidence of bovine TB is now very limited, both through testing and through pasteurisation, but an old (and I also mean relatively aged) friend of mine did get bovine TB as a child (just post-war) and it was no laughing matter,

Raw milk is meant to make better tasting cheese. If you don't mind getting bovine TB.

However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving.

Flouting?

As they have been closed, either as an antique shop or a cafe, for a number of years, the words 'go whistle' spring to mind. They are history now.

There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars.

If a food outlet has a mouse problem then it's likely to stay there until the outlet runs out of food, unless it's adjacent to other food outlets. Why would the mice move? And mice can be dealt with. If you are prepared to pay for it. Which, with some proprieters, is a very big if. I have no evidence that the problem has reoccured in its new inception, although obviously good owners keep the focus on good hygiene. You win the battle but the war continues.

As a cafe, yes. And they kept all the chandeliers they hadn't sold as an antique shop still hanging up. They had a real mouse problem, quite well covered up, however.

Spinach took over from Chandelier, which was then a cafe but had been an antique shop of the same name. Some shops up from Target Arms the militaria shop.

Yes, by ensuring that every restricted road is restricted in a slightly different way, as regards times and days (and vehicle types) , wth complex and small type notices over many lines placed high up and preferably behind branches you have an open season on revenue generation even from those who are resident and 'local'. Hence the phenomenal revenues from what should be informed 'local' traffic. My wife drove, in error, into a restricted Dulwich road, based on time-of-day, immediately reversed/ 3 point turned out of it and has now received two fines - the photos (and offences) less than 2 minutes apart, showing her car in a restricted zone travelling in two directions - as it would do as she was retracing her in-error steps. But that's two offences, apparently! She did appeal, but, weeks later, the 'jury' is still out. Edited to add that the appeal was refused, apparently going out of a forbidden road having entered it (i.e. travelling both ways) is a second offence. They're desparate for money and/or really hate their constituents.

You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.
