My sense of Xmas spirit has left me today, thanks to the scumbag white van man/men who decided they would help themselves to the moving trolley we had put outside our house ready to place a large fridge/freezer on for removal. You knew you were doing wrong judging on the speed with which you helped yourself to the item and tore off in your lovely white van. Didn't the front door being open and 2 men carrying a rather large fridge freezer down the hallway give you a clue that it wasn't up for grabs!


Being 8 months pregnant and having to deal with this kind of cr*p on Xmas Eve does nothing for my Xmas spirit, so I hope the Grinch comes a biting!! (I know you won't read this, but it's made me feel a little better!)

Thank you so much for the offer DulwichDeviant, it really is very kind of you. Thankfully, a friend of ours down the road was available and kindly helped hubby manhandle the fridge freezer all the way down the street (as I was totally useless), much to the amusement of many passers by. Thankfully, there was no snow! Merry Xmas to you Dulwichdeviant - hope you have a good one!

So sorry to hear that, it's the last thing you need right now! Doesn't surprise me though, I see those white vans cruising our street looking in gardens on an hourly basis during the day.


Have a lovely Xmas x

But this is what people do, and have done since time immemorial.


Lock your things away and double lock your door and windows every time you go out. Don't leave things outside unattended that people can lift easily, otherwise lift it they will.

    • It’s been closed for several months, I think.
    • I've not posted any restaurant reviews here for a while, but with the long Easter weekend approaching I thought I'd serve an update. I recently reviewed The Palmerston and elsewhere became involved in a debate about the best pub lunch in SE22. So which ones do people here currently rate?  Yes I know people can just do a search for "Best pub lunch" but as well as new eateries popping up all the time two of the places I've reviewed – EDT and Bishop – have had a reboot since I reviewed them so I'm interested in hearing how they are doing now. FYI I'm still not charging people to read my reviews or subscribe (though they can pay if they are inclined) and I still haven't had any cease and desist letters from other food people who have used the word "Eats" in their name. And I put a lot of work into these reviews. They aren't just a couple of dashed off sentences saying what is good/bad. When not doing this for fun I'm a professional journalist. If people want to nitpick and be pedantic I'll just have to learn to live with it. https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/ 
    • Have there been any happy outcomes yet?  I was reminded of this thread by Kate Bradbury's recent two minute Radio4 Tweet of the Day spot on swifts and swift boxes.  She even plays their calls out of her window hoping to attract them.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0029yp8 Coincidentally, last week I came across a planning condition attached to the permission (24/AP/3592) granted to the old Melbourne Grove GP premises, that they install "no less than four bee bricks."  They're specifically for so-called solitary bees, who seem to be regarded as equally busy and deserving.  Kate B. mentioned that Brighton now attaches a similar condition, requiring swift boxes in all new-builds.  Might Southwark be doing so too?
