I wonder about managing with out an estate agent & doing one of those on line ones. I am shocked at how much they charge making the cost of moving astronomical! genuinely, what do they addd?

I'm really looking forward to it..... time for celebration & a bit of good old flag waving. there isn't enough patriotism!

I have a friend who is looking to move to SE London & is going to see somewhere on Choumert Road or Square - I don't know which nor do I know the area. is anyone from the area... what's it like to actually live there? she is young & comes from a slightly rarefied rural community... any advice? thoughts? comments about the neightbourhood? your help is appreaciated!

cowards!!

last week I did my first parkrun in Brockwell park & would encourgage anyone who fancies a 5k on a Saturday morning to come along. there are those who complete it in double quick time but most of us are a bit more normal.... I finished in just over 30mins it is a timed run & is free... best of all you can be in the cafe for justifiable cakes by 10!! have a look at this..... Brockwell parkrun

Cassidy - you were right...... 4.30. feel better for a quick 5k

thanks cassidy. I tried the Southwark website & the Friends of Dulwich park - both without sucess. I'm planning a bit of post-Christmas run & will work on the basis you are right....it won;t be too much of a desaster if not!! thanks again

does anyone know what time Dulwich park closes today? many thanks

I expect you mean the managers - those who organise the clinics to try to keep them to time, those who make sure that all resources are used properly, operating theatres full.........

if you back up a bit there is a comment asking why the staff at kings don't take a cut back if things are that tight - this came to mind on Saturday as I listened to patrick Kielty on radio 2 talking about an Elvis event that the station had run in hyde park the previous weekend. He was trying to say how good a job they had done of organising the day & to do that mentioned his free ticket & how good the food was backstage. Apparently Freddie Flintoff's mother was there with Freddie taking pic's of her with famous people. It is impossible for me to estimate how much of the taxpayers money was wasted feeding the rich & famous deep fried bananas......... leave NHS bosses wages alone - they are at least trying to improve to make it work...... it's time the BBC made proper cutbacks & reduced the obscene wages of DJ's & presenters.......surely stopping this sort of expenditure & redirecting the lienence payers money to the NHS would solve a this nonsense! Imagine how many more nurses could be employed for the price of Patrick Keilty's salary!!!
