Although I am a pacifist myself this is a very good idea, in the spirit of some of the big game hunts in Africa i could hold an open balcony morning*

Refreshments and Teacakes Served (RATS)

Thank you, thats really helpful.

As a woman who appreciates a pint of decent bitter i agree with you. It's a shame, however the food, for me is a winner.

Arhh thats great news.

I'm sure the owners are glad they moved to an area with neighbours who are as caring as you are.

Today i took a stroll to the back of my flat, to see a rat in the back yard of the derelict property that has not been worked on at all since my last post. It was very big ,very health looking. It was mid afternoon, daylight. I ddin't hang around to meet his mates. Will again contact the environment...

Just thought i'd add my tuppence worth, went to the woodman today and had a beautiful sunday lunch.

Lovely gravy fresh veg and proper meat, beef in my case. One of the best roasts i've had for a long time.

Hi Lizzie, I had this problem last year. I got pest control to come around and they put poison down, horrible smell after though and the mice came back (I live near a building site/derelict building). I tried the sonic plug in thing but that didn't deter them although I don't think as many came back...

My boiler's pilot light keeps going out, I hope this is due to the supply rather than the boiler.

A little earlier this evening their seemed to be more stranded buses on dartmouth road/ kirkdale, than at camberwell bus garage. One bus on the roundabout was stuck in the ice and had slid into the barriers, it continued to slide, precariously. But thanks to a passing gritter lorry who's co-driver g...

I'd love a Greggs

Hi Kerry, I have used Russel the roofer (RJRoofing i think) he was recommended from the east dulwich forum. He was quick,reliable and reasonable. He quoted on my roof and fixed it the next day, and the price was as quoted. A really nice bloke too. His number is 07852972052. Good luck with the roof a...

Agreed fewer cars the better. But it's naive to think that Having flats without parking spaces deters people from Driving or owning cars. They'll use the street parking, so congesting the streets even more. Equally providing cycle spaces wouldn't particuarly encourage people to cycle. ""Al...

I Share your concerns about the planning dept Fishcox. I'm not bothered that modern buildings are replacing old ones, it's about the quality, size and amenities that this property and some of the recent additions in the area provide and the impression these give the area. Some of the newer buildings...

There is yet another planning application in, for yet another block of boxes (one and two bedrooms) on Kirkdale. 109-111, which at present is Raj's old news agents and the estate agents, they've applied for a block of several flats and a retail outlet. No Parking spaces, only bikes. I'm concerned at...

I'm a member of a large union however my job is viewed by some within and outside the profession as a 'vocation', it isn't in my opinion. But this view has meant that strike action has never, in my working life been pursued. This frustrates me as i think we have had a raw deal in the past few years....

Thanks for the offer of the camera, i've pm'd you! Thanks Parker for your support, it is horrible living next to rats. However this does not just affect me, they have been there since at least April, who knows the damage they have done to this and surronding properties already. The council do have a...

*blushes*

Thank you all for your advice. Quick update, the environmental health officer called around last week. He had a look in the back yard but not the empty property. He said he will write to the owner asking that they deal with the rat problem. He said it would be hard to force them to act on the letter...

I've taken the 185 from Forest Hill, however the journey back was a nightmare. I'm unsure if this was because of the time of day or because there had been an accident or something.

Have you tried www.tfl.gov.uk ? Although local knowledge is probably best!

OOh Yes, I'd definitely use it.
