When you say installations, are you drawing attention to the frightfully working class displays of bad taste? If you are, then I'm afraid I've no 'fab' recommendations to offer.


I don't know if it's because they have more occasions to celebrate (being wealthy 'n' all), but the homeowners in Dulwich village seem to have a more reserved, yet charming Yuletide decorations and don't insist on 'pimping' their property to the point of wanton abandon. The tree is meant to be on the inside, if you know what I mean.


Then again, they probably don't drink Stella Artois either.

The only conclusion I can draw from these gaudy beacons of deplorable taste is that serve as a reminder to Santa Claus not to forget them on his journey. This is because the occupants of these ostentatious nightmares had poor parents who spent their money on alcohol and lottery tickets instead of presents of any value for their children. So in adult life, after being so monsterously let down by an absent minded Father Christmas, they unveil the landing lights in the hope that Dasher and Prancer will spot them from on high.


Divs.

Don't think TM would spell monstrously with an 'e', but excellent employment of the word 'div', I thought.

    • For the North Cross Rd one, other than this post on the day,  the only sign I saw was a few papers on lampposts saying no parking due to an event.  It didn't say what the event was. On the day at around 1.45pm all the parked cars were still there and there was just 1 unusual stall (an info stand about a children's activity group).
    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
