No 36 has had a water leak for at least 2 weeks and the landlord has only just bothered to call his repairman.


I went t*ts over arse this morning and fell really bad due to ice that had formed which #i failed to see, thanks to the lovely young lady who stopped and asked if I was OK and only moved on when she saw I was walking again, I must have looked like I was in shock. As I walked further up, I heard two other people slip and fall too. Will look and see if I can find a road cone to put outside the property as there's still water leaking.

You're most welcome, more pride hurt than anything, luckily, thank's for the kind words :)


I did find a traffic cone to give some sort of warning and put it in the dangerous area late last night, but the nearby builders may well have reclaimed it by now.

There is a yellow salt / grit bin on the corner of Crawthew / Frogmore which members of the public are free to use when it is icy.


If a reader has a chance it might very helpful to take a handful of the grit and dump it on the relevant section of pavement.

Would the landlord be liable to pay damages if he knew the leak was there and that icy weather was coming? A vendor on CPR has been informed that his/hew property is leaking water all over the pavement, I was told when I rang the stage agent. It is running so may not freeze unless it gets very cold indeed but there is always the chance. Be careful out there! (It's a property near the junction with Goodrich, oppo the newsagent.)

I don't often look at this forum, so a bit late with this.


I sa the leak too, and knocked on the door of the flat to let them know.


The tenant said that the owner was aware, and 'was going to do something about it..'


I told the tenant that when similar happened to me, the cellar started to flood quite quickly.

Tenant: It's Okay, we don't have a cellar.

Me: what's this coal scuttle in the front step then?

Tenant:........


Got out my handy torch & shone it down the coal scuttle plate...


One Cellar, half full of water (a lot of the conversions just wall off the (dirty, nasty) cellar, not realising how much storage is down there)


I mentioned electrics/rot/subsiding floor supports.


Strangely, t'was fixed the next morning :-)))

    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.  
    • I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!
    • Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
