Has anyone used Roberts & Denny's for a removal? In the past we used Harradines and were happy with them. Howeverm Roberts & Denny's quote is quite a bit lower, so I was wondering if anyone has used them. Please understand, if you have only just registered to the forum I will ignore your feedback, as the odds that your 'review' is a fake is simply too high. Thanks!

Me too, but a paddling pool is open in Brockwell park, which seems odd

Does any one know if the kids paddling pool in Ruskin park and the water play section of the Peckham Rye park are open? Thanks!

That's interesting. I have, in fact, often wondered if we have too many minicabs, and if reducing the number wouldn't improve congestion and pollution, especially in zone 1. Minicabs are currently exempt from the congestion charge - whereas in fact they should pay a much higher congestion charge than an ordinary car, I'd think.

The tricky part is: if you wanted to ask for ID, what identification would you even ask for, in a country in which there is no compulsory form of ID? Passports and driving licences would presumably be accepted. But what about those people who have neither? Plus driving licences do not show citizenship. If you think of it, this (the lack of compulsory ID and lack of a population register) is the key reason behind the Windrush scandal, which could have NEVER happened in most countries in continental Europe, as they tend to have compulsory ID and a population register, often listing whether you are a citizen or a foreign resident in the country. In fact, how do you even prove citizenship without holding a passport? Windrush has shown that, in many cases, you don't - indeed British citizens were deported illegally! It's also why foreign parents (especially European) of children born here and entitled to British citizenship are strongly advised to apply for a British passport straight away, since proving the settled status of the parents, which entitles the children to citizenship, can be hard if not impossible if done many years after birth.

Also, having a border in Ireland would very much be a British problem, too Sure, there may be a snap election and the parliamentary arithmetics may change, who knows. If B happens, it will be interesting to see how Brexiters will explain the chaos that will follow. Eg all those who export to the EU, what will happen to them?

Why am I not surprised? How do you implement "leave" if the leavers cannot reach an agreement on where to go? If all leavers said "fine, go wherever, it doesn't matter, as long as we go somewhere" then OK, but that's not what they have been saying. They cannot reach an agreement on what leave should mean! Again: if 48 want to stay put, 26 want to go to Manchester and 26 to Brighton, how do you turn the desire to go somewhere else into action?

Sorry to hear that. However, that has little to do with 20 mph. A reckless driver will continue to be reckless regardless of speed limits. In fact, the most sensible argument I can think of for 20mph limits is that, maybe, with 30mph limits many people may speed up to 4, so with 20mph many people may speed up to 30... What is the tolerance for speed tickets? On many analog speedometers it is virtually impossible to distinguish 20 vs, say, 22 mph; would 22 mph in a 20 zone mean a ticket? Possibly points on the licence?

Are you in bad faith or do you genuinely fail to see the flaw in your reasoning? How do you implement the "going elsewhere" option, if there is no agreement on where we should go? PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!

One has to love the Brexiter's logic, and their insistence in repeating the same old drivel while refusing to answer very clear questions. Was leave vs remain ever a binary choice? Yes or no? Can leave mean multiple, incompatible things, yes or no? Have Brexiters reached an agreement, 3 years on, on what leave should mean, yes or no? Is Brexiters' utter failure to agree with each other on the meaning of Brexit the Remainers' fault, yes or no? If you think your comparison about watering down alcoholic drinks was funny, it wasn't. The fact remains it was not a binary choice. Period. On what planet is "something other than the first option, even though we cannot agree what this something else should be" a feasible option? If 48 want to stay put, 26 want to go to Brighton and 26 to Manchester, what does the majority support? To go somewhere else even if there is no agreement on where??

So you are in favour of 20mph limits even though you have no idea: if they really reduce accidents (the DfT report says the evidence is inconclusive) what the environmental impact of longer journeys is if that money could have been spent elsewhere (eg improving roads / potholes /new road layouts). Remind me, then, WHY are you in favour of the 20mph limits?? What's your thought process?

Why should it be OK to shout insults at someone who disagrees with you? And this is regardless of who the victim is - the idiots who shouted abuse at his children saying things like "your daddy is a horrible person" are no better than this guy

The fact that the average journey is short is a technically true but practically often irrelevant piece of information the cycle lobby loves to spit out whenever it can, typically to claim that more people should use pushbikes and that therefore more road space should be given to bikes. That?s total complete utter nonsense. A TFL report on the topic also said that, surprise surprise, both car ownership and car usage were much lower in inner vs outer London. If you live in certain parts of zones 3-6, or of Surrey/Kent, just inside or just outside the M25, you often need the car even only to go to the supermarket, or to take kids to school, or to go to the train station. You often don?t have an alternative. If you live in zone 1 and take the car everywhere, by all means, that kind of use should be penalised, but just looking at the average journey, as if it were representative, is totally misleading. Back to your point. First of all I said from the beginning that, at rush hour, I would expect 20mph limits to make little to no difference. You seem to focus on the little inconvenience that would probably derive from lower limits. I was trying to focus on the environmental impact. Yes, if our journeys only take a few minutes more it?s not the end of the world. But how much is that in %? If every journey outside of rush hour takes, say, 20-30% longer, that?s car engines being on and polluting for 20-30% more time. What is the environmental impact of that? I do not know, but I think this point should have been addressed before rolling out 20mph limits eft right and centre. Sadly, it wasn?t. The inconvenience is probably for those drivers that need to drive, outside rush hour, longer-than-average routes that must pass through the centre of London, e.g. many east to west or south to north routes. Think of all kinds of vans, delivery vehicles, HGVs, etc. I am not of these drivers, but, if I were, I?d be furious.

You are forgetting that remain vs leave was never a binary choice, because leave can mean vary different, incompatible things. It is not Remainers' fault if, 3 years after the referendum, Brexiters still cannot agree on what leave is to mean! Is it hard Brexit? Norway? Canada? Switzerland? May's deal? BRINO (Brexit in name only)? In fact, the option which did win the majority was to remain! If 48 people want water, 26 want beer and 26 want wine, yes, a majority wants some booze, but they can't agree what booze, and the option with the majority is, in fact, water!!!
