When they pour past my flat at 11:00am and back up at 8:00pm plundering Tescos like marauding vikings - they just get dirty looks - surprised they don't ever comment on the unfriendly locals.

I used to be able to go to Melbourne Grove - chat to the receptionist and get a same day appointment - I guess it was a cancellation but one was available if I hung around or went for a coffee - this was maybe 10 years ago. I guess this is banned in the new surgery.

There's a hint on what happened here but see nothing else https://www.cio.com/article/2069427/payment-processing-outages-at-uk-retailers-raise-reliability-issues-for-cashless-transactions.html

So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?

Loads (and it was loads) came down through rye lane - I saw them go down and come back up (around 10:30 pm) - so businesses in Peckham get a boost I guess. The council see the park end of Rye Lane as a nighttime cafe/bar area too so they all come here after the park event

Rye Lane was crazy on bank holiday, there was some kind of drill music rave in the Angel Oak and shopping in Tesco Rye Lane was full of festival goers. The Nags Head seems to have a 3am license on weekends that something happens too. I sometimes think that the suburbs beckon and I'm too old for here. But Southwark council just said they will give me 60 quid towards my Electricity bill - maybe the festival subsidized it 🙂

Just popped down to Peckham Rye Overground cancelled - looks like more cancelled than not. But its better than getting us to work then saying no trains to return I guess. Popped back to WFH

If we had a unlimited supply of cheap energy which didn't have any effect on the environment. I wish that test tube really had contained cold fusion :)

I'm coming to believe that cut in Stamp Duty caused a lot of issues that haven't worked through yet. Overseas investors is a problem in some areas - not so sure it is in SE22 and SE15

If you're in Shared Ownership and you move to get a job you'll find - its difficult to sell as there are issues with cladding (this is the same for many flat owners) - You're not usually allowed to rent out as a term of the lease but with all the issues Housing Associations are relaxing this. - I've seen flats left empty. Ask a housing association as so many people seem to want to move out and can't - they must have a load of flats to rent out.

The Daily Mail made him out to be a radical, a liberal .. a marxist .. well something like that.

Lets go for mine; Crouch End (scary in its way but a mate liked it), Canary Wharf (Macho), Barnet (Some nice pubs but its not the south). The worst Gentrification has to be Elephant Park - rather than a gradual gentrification that was a big bang.

Really strange interview where seemed full of beans and sniffed consistently

I suppose if you know your customer base you know which flags to put up and which to skip.
