Good evening


This is my last update, I am ready for my bed been up since 430am and another early start tomorrow. Trains are severly affected for Sussex coast, metro area trains are running, some cancellations and delays but london bridge remains operational till end of service


However, with these freezing temperatures predicted tonight, I honestly believe that tomorrow morning will be chaotic! Network rail will run ghost trains tonight to keep routes open for the morning, I strongly suggest checking Southerns website first thing. I will update also in the morning


I have teams out at 1am to clear snow and another team out at 4am, East Dulwich is first on list and is also having paths cleared as I write this. It has been at times today, a losing battle clearing platforms

If you drive carefully at 20mph, keep in high gear low revs (e,g, move of in second gear and do not spin drive wheels) and have reasonable tyres. a light foot etc etc some back streets seem quite empty - I'm just guiding a friend (from Loughhborough junction to Nunhead) - up Herne Hill Road, right into Ferndene, left down Denmark Hill and right up Champoin Hill, across Dog Kennel Hill. down Grove Hill, left and right into Malf Road, Avondale and Maxted to up Crystal Palace Road, left into Underhill left on Dunstans, up Colyton / Homestall (oops - some silly b----er driving fast has just hit a parked car!!) and home


Hope that helps someone - if you have any grip at all try it as the roads leading to all the hills e.g. Forest Hill Road seem blocked by stuck cars

Having just spent quite some time this evening enjoying the fine view of The Plough and the library with my increasingly irritated 2 year old daughter in the car, I've been thinking unthinkable things about the bendy buses... On a more positive note, the weather has brought a new experience: that of finishing off my car parking by hand pushing the back of the car sideways against the kerb on a rather icy Landcroft Road. Not much help from me, but appreciating the updates and deciding to make a first post after a couple of years lurking....

Found out about Dulwich Hamlet's closed from my sister - what a nightmare for some parents and they've only just gone back - I'm lucky in that I'm a registered childminder so work from home (although I've got a week off now, ha ha with 3 of my own) - got two at The Charter so they will prob follow - will find out tomorrow to their delight.


Government are trying to get all parents with kids over 10 back to work - how's that gonna happen?

      Cashpoint theft/robbery warning - Tesco, East Dulwich Road

      By Romnarz · Posted

      Might be worth pointing out it might be a good idea to be suspicious of anyone who comes near you that is wearing a mask. Covid is a thing of the past In the same area I have seen several young lads wearing masks on bikes, they slow down when going past anyone 'fiddling' with mobile phones. they move on if its an old model that is not worth stealing. There have been several incidents of movile phone thefts around Goose Green. YES  some people  are immune deficient  and perhaps still feel they need to wear a mask although I question how nessesary that is in the open air.

      Gazundering!

      Should Estates agents also take some responsibility for this.  In our case it feels like they have been acting on behalf of the buyer not the seller even though we are paying then for their service.  Just to be clear I have reassured the buyer whose house we are buying off that we still pay them what we promised. When this is all over should I states which Estate agent is involved??

      Amazing how fast he was. He literally had something like a minute between stealing the card and using another cashpoint before it was blocked. The bank will return the money but willing to bet he will hit that same ATM with the same ruse again at some point.
