Hello! This is Annie's husband Ben. Do you have any pieces of furniture kicking around that you don't want any more? I'm looking for:

- Furniture that will fit in the boot of a car

- Something that needs some work to it - for example, re-caning, renewing fabric

- Possible examples would be a chair or footstool or something of a similar size.

My Mum is starting an upholstery course, and is looking for interesting pieces to practice on.

She's envisaging taking free bits of furniture that are sitting around in a corner, or that you're thinking of chucking out. She would do it up and then donate it to charity.

Let me know if you have anything we might be interested in! If you can email pictures, do send them over to [email protected]

Thank you!

- Fines for parking in loading bay for 2 minutes - appeal?

  I appealed against a fine issued by Southwark, and won. The adjudicator was businesslike, but also mentioned that several cases had come to him caught out by the same confusing signage. Is there any other parking that could reasonably have been used? Does the shop advise where to park? It sounds as though the time in the bay was a reasonable use. Even if you lose, I doubt that Southwark can increase the original charge. If you are going to appeal, don't delay. Take pictures of the scene if you think that might help, also provide the weight of the goods if that supports your case.

  Thanks - an overnight stay, a drip and painkillers seems to have done its work!

  Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction. Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern.
