  1. Alleyns would most probably have based their decision on regular participation numbers by Tigersharks . You have mentioned a "group of 150 swimmers" but it might help if you can accurately quantify the regular attendance numbers. My understanding is that the regular participation is significantly less.

  3. Sorry to disagree but they are highly intelligent creatures and have adapted their habits and behaviour to exist very successfully in an urban environment. The stupidity is prevalent amongst ourselves who leave food items around for them to feed on.

  5. You are correct. Please read my post which proves that VAT is not charged in most EU countries.
  6. Charging VAT on private schools is totally out of step with other countries in Europe. Here is picture in the Europe:- . Germany: Private education fees are usually exempt from VAT. France: Private education fees are typically exempt from VAT, especially if the institution is recognized by the state. Spain: Private education services provided by recognized educational establishments are exempt from VAT. Italy: Educational services provided by recognized institutions are exempt from VAT. Netherlands: Private education services are exempt from VAT if the institution is recognized by the government. Belgium: Educational services provided by recognized institutions are exempt from VAT. Sweden: Private education is generally exempt from VAT. Denmark: Most educational services are exempt from VAT, but there are exceptions depending on the type of service. Ireland: Private education fees are exempt from VAT. Portugal: Private education is generally exempt from VAT. Austria: Private education services are generally exempt from VAT if they are recognized by the state. Finland: Private education services are exempt from VAT if they are provided by recognized institutions. Norway: Although not an EU member, Norway exempts private education services from VAT. Make of that as you may!

  8. Presumably the perps reckon that high value vehicles will be more likely to be insured however in the UK only 4% of drivers are not insured so even my 20 year old jalopy might be vulnerable. Because of its age and the fact I never wash it means it is not in any way attractive to malcontents. So stay safe and never wash your car -just let the growth of green algae take over.

  10. I sympathise with the Council because if they make it too difficult or expensive to dispose of waste from vans then the amount of fly tipping increases. Limiting access to four vans per year also increases the potential for fly tipping. I would suggest having a charging system based on ANPR identification for vans. If there's usually no queue between 10am to 3pm on weekdays, then vans could be charged a reduced (modest) rate during that time slot and charged a higher rate outside those times. And the higher rate for more than 4 trips in a year. Forget the requirement to book in advance.

  12. I suggest you write to the estate agent asking specific questions and request a written response. Otherwise they will tell you anything to get a sale.
  13. Yes, it was all buzz when we went there 2 weeks ago and staff are very pleasant. Had an excellent calzone there.
  14. You can't refuse. TW allows you up to a 12 months after installation during which time you can continue with the fixed rate system. Then after 12 months you go on the meter rates regardless. The one benefit of this is that the meter send readings on an hourly basis and if you have consumption being registered, when you would not expect it, (such as between 1am and 6am) , they will advise you that you have a leak somewhere and will give an estimate of how much extra this leakage will cost you after you go on the meter rates. That way you can fix your lea(s) in advance and save money. If you cannot find the leak inside the house, it may be outside underground, between your house and the water meter because your old lead pipe may be leaking. That stretch of pipe is your responsibility. Then you can ask them to help you find it and if you play your cards nicely and catch the TW guy on a good day, then TW will replace your old 1" pipe with a new blue 25mm pipe.

  16. Indeed and possibly because with such an extensive wish list as stated, it will be a nigh on impossible to achieve a suitable property for that budget, outside the Village or Alleyn Park area. Even then, all wishes being equal, it would need > £3m to get a suitable property. Compromise would seem appropriate therefore , which suggests rating each "wish" in order of priority.
  17. I would look at the area between Dulwich and Herne Hill The link from Herne Hill station by Thameslink to St Pauls is superb. but it all depends on what rating ( 1 thro' 10) you give to each of the parameters you have identified.
  18. You might possibly consider that the the degree of scepticism and suspicion your original post encountered was largely due to the accusatory nature of the title in which you specifically identified a long-standing and respected local business. You also sensationalised the matter by using the words "poisoning" and "twice!" in the heading.
  19. @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.
  20. Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not the chicken. Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention chicken thigh fillets. TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time". £14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking? TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.

  22. Good, that opens up more possibilities for you. Hopefully it is not too far away so that you may have the possibility to collect it. Acting promptly is important so that you get the matter resolved before they sell it on to someone else which is possible as all the parts they claim were missing were in fact there and functioning. Needless to say, it will be useful to monitor their F/B , Gumtree and Ebay listings.
  23. Did their on-line presence show a physical address?
  24. The freezing theory is just not appropriate here in London however your point about water penetration is correct. The tar top layer of the road is designed to act as a seal to prevent water penetrating into the lower strata of the road base. The top tar layer deteriorates over time but cracks in it are primarily generated by vehicles with high axle loadings e.g. trucks and buses. These high loadings cause deformation which results in cracking of the tar barrier. Water penetrates then via the cracks into the sub-base and the sub-base is degraded. Result = potholes. No frost is required.
