xxxxxxx


Agree it's a superb room per se, but there's no sound barrier between the front bar and the room with the music. Fine if the band is loud, useless if the music is quite quiet.


The transport difficulties combined with the noise, plus it's a long trek if you live the other side of ED, ruled it out for The Goose at least.


If only it could be miraculously transported to Lordship Lane :)

It lacks the sea.


Snow covered mountains for all year round skiing.


Moorland so we might hear the trilling of Curlew and Snipe.


Fenland to see the Marsh Harriers and hear the call of the Bittern.


Open grassland to encourage Skylarks that warble and sing during flight.


Fortnum and Mason to supply quality comestibles.


Hatchards for all the literary needs of our bookworms.


Yates wine lodge that accepts all kinds of alcoholics, so we have somewhere to slither down to.


A surfeit of free, good schools with an excess of places with nurseries attached where you can leave your children until you finish work.


A gaggle of honest and trustworthy, with a smattering of helpful, politicians.


A local council with enough housing for our needs.


A dog catcher that goes after hoodies with bruiser dogs leaving a safer environment.


A society without class division but knows how to punish the thugs and thieves in full.


A society which has no need for solicitors and other members of the judiciary, so we could all sing and dance and indulge in merriment without the risk of being sued.


A supply of highly paid interesting and available jobs.


A place where women could walk in to face a line of single males and would be allowed to take by the elbow, taken home to be a sex slave until the money ran out............. at a fiver per hour.


One of these for men too.


Have I missed anything, oooh yes I will have to sell up now as I cannot afford the real-estate fees now everyone wants to live in ED.

Please, please, please would somone open a decent restaurant, or better still a couple of restaurants?


NOT a curry house or an over-hyped gastro pub or a french place with miserable staff or an Italian that can't make a decent pizza or a tacky mexican that looks exactly the same since it's refurb or a wine bar that sells snacks (sorry Tapas).


Just a restaurant in which you might enjoy the food...

Have you tried The frog on the green on Consort road se15?

Absolutely fantastic food and they have a great selection of wine to top it all off!

Grit/salt on Woodwarde Road: all sheet black ice yet again today, with cars skidding up- and downhill scarily. Particularly bad around the top of Beauval Rd; accident just waiting to ruin someone's Christmas. I know it's residential but it's a hill, a rat run and close to the park, so with kids now on holidays (and, selfishly, me on my bike) I think it needs to made safer.


Someone's probably said it already, but in general we need proper cycle routes - ie wide, safe and not just random redirections onto the pavement. If it means making more roads one way to allow space, go for it. If it's doable in an old city with narrow streets like Amsterdam then surely it's achievable here...

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
