Parklet on Montserrat Road

No one seems to be cleaning them, already stained with spills and grubby, also plants not being watered, my neighbour just borrowed my watering can to water one of the trees which is dying

Welcome To Putney!

Who is responsible for the garish covering now pasted over the ground floor facade of that marvellous building opposite St Mary's? Does high Victorian architecture require an example of urban post modernity that most unnecessarily proclaims in very large letters and for no particular reason,'Welcome To Putney.' Vulgarity can go no further.

Looking for a Chinese 普通话 tutor / chat buddy

你好大家人! I've been mostly self-learning Chinese for a little over a year now. My reading and writing is ok, but my listening and speaking is not so good! I was taking weekly lessons before lock-down but would like to find something local now that I'm WFH. I am currently reading 300-500 character graded readers and would say I"m about HSK 3/4 level. If there are any local speakers in Putney that would be willing to help me please get in touch! 谢谢！

A hen party at Ken High St station - heading for M&S? Actually, my late mother would have thought that a good idea; she always considered St Michael to be excellent quality (yes, I did often wonder why I was called Michael 🙂); and she preferred tea to alcohol, so the M&S cafe would have suited her as she always enjoyed going to the one at Lakeside, Thurrock

It's not all bad news

Seems there's lots of negativity at the moment. Some good news: SpaceX completed its test trip by the Dragon capsule Endeavour to the International Space Station by returning two US astronauts to Earth successfully today. Closer to home, Lewis Hamilton won his 7th British Grand Prix at Silverstone completing his last lap with only three inflated tyres - somehow I thing Christian Horner might want to forget his quip during the race about his team's Red Bull cars at leasst being able to keep up with the safety car ... pity they can't catch Lewis in a Mercedes on three wheels :-)

"Putney Wine Bar"

I have just seen a sign up for Putney Wine Bar next to Rosy Lea cafe on URR near the tube station. I for one would be happy to single handedly keep this business going, does anyone have any info on it? There are so few wine bars in the area we could do with one

Trinity Hospice charity shop in Putney is closing down!

I was very sad when I read the news on PutneySW15 that the Trinity Hospice charity shop is closing down!  We always loved having a look around and were at times amazed at the furniture they had!  A friend of mine bought a fantastic Welsh dresser from there a few years back.  Very sad indeed! They will be holding a closing down sale on Saturday, 1 August 2020.

It's the Trinity Hospice furniture shop that's closing, not the small one in the High St

02

Upset to see 02 has left Putney High Street.  Does anyone know if the branch in Southside Shopping Centre is still open?  I have a problem with my phone and the people at the Putney branch were always so helpful.

AVOIRDUPOIS

Could our roly-poly PM perhaps tell us what his current weight is, then every week give us an update on progress? That would be leading from the front and, come to think of it, from the back as well.
