Nothing on Thames Water's live site, but it does mention this.


"Delayed response due to winter weather

The snowy and icy conditions are impacting on our ability to travel safely around our region.

This is causing delays in responding to emergencies such as sewer flooding and customers experiencing no water.

We?re sorry for the delay but it may take longer than normal to reach you.

We had a burst main in Kelvington Road up by the covered reservoir day before yesterday. Woke up to extremely low pressure downstairs and no pressure upstairs - no hot water and no flush. Phoned it in just before 8am and they estimatated an 8hr fix. It took a few hours for them to arrive and it took til nearly 8pm to get the water back on but those guys were absolute heroes in my eyes, working wet in freezing conditions. If you've got guys working for hours to fix your water mains in these freezing temps and you got enough water stashed before it was turned off, make them a hot drink, they'll be very glad of it.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
