Why would it be necessary to hold a business meeting in a pub? If it's true, I feel several business meetings coming on ..... Goose meetings ...... :)) :)) :))

As I understand it, it's not so much because it's easier for men to pee onto the heap, it's because there is something in men's pee which helps to activate the processes in the compost heap, which women's pee doesn't contain.

OK thank you, I think I will just hope for the best :))

One of my neighbours says that it IS the original Blue Mountain team (they had a chat with them) - crikey, from the early nineties then! Thanks for the info re Instagram, I'll have a look. Yes, delighted to see a vegan place locally. Very sad to hear that Tart has permanently gone, but glad to see another independent place is opening there. I hope the lovely conservatory at the back won't be changed too much.

Work starting again 8am tomorrow.

I don't understand this? I have two AOL email addresses which I have had for years and rarely use, but I still get emails being sent to them, and one is a back up address for my gmail addresses. I went onto them yesterday and found several of these security update emails over a period of time, including a recent "final warning." I have AOL on both my laptop and my mobile. I don't understand this stuff about "third party applications". Can someone explain in very simple non technical language?

I haven't been out much, and I just noticed this today. The front inside is laid out as a shop, as it used to be when the Blue Mountain first opened back in the early nineties. It seems they will do deliveries (menu in the window). Does anybody have any more information? Also, why has Maison Dog got its window boarded up? Has it closed down, or has somebody broken the window?

I love the House of Dreams! Nice to see the Garden Museum got a mention in the article, too! Plus I'd never have known there was a Derek Jarman exhibition on there if not for this thread, so thanks PGC!

I've just had a delivery! On a Sunday! Replacement bulbs! However, they were posted on 30 September... At least this lot weren't already sprouting...

Sorry to hear this. Is it possible that the glasses belonged to the thief? If so, might they have fingerprints on them? ETA sorry, duh, they may have fingerprints on them even if they didn't belong to the thief.

Southwark police posted an appeal for witnesses on Twitter on 14 October. I only know that via a post on my road's WhatsApp group. It's possible that there were valid operational reasons for not publicising it before, but I don't know what they would be. Does anybody know if they have caught the people involved? Also, does anybody know how they got into the house?

So Helen Hayes' visit doesn't seem to have had much effect? 😭

I used to work in diversity. At that time, positive discrimination was allowed in training for currently under-represented groups, so that they could compete for jobs on a more level basis. Positive discrimination in selection procedures (eg by quotas) was illegal, and rightly so in my opinion. Targets were legal, but not quotas.

Sorry, posted something I'd already posted. DUH.

But the OP's post was from yesterday morning? There was a burst main on the South Circular yesterday early afternoon ..... don't know when it started, but the road was flooded for a considerable distance on the side opposite the park. There was one tiny Thames Water van there when I passed ..... I don't think it could have affected Lordship Lane though. Was there a burst main somewhere else as well?

I have found the flyer. It was from Thames Water. It says "Protect your property and your planet. Collect fats and oils in an old pot. Wait for them to cool down. Throw them in the bin."

At the time I moved to BT, they had some kind of cashback offer which meant it was actually cheaper than Plusnet over the period of the initial contract (I temporarily moved my mobile to BT for the same reason). After both the contracts expired, I moved my broadband back to Plusnet and my mobile back to iD. However I'd never use BT again regardless of cost, because their customer service was absolutely appalling. They were also incredibly rude when I left, once it became clear that I wasn't interested in any of their "offers" to induce me to stay. I may try their router again in light of what others have said above, however I'm not sure I've still got it :(

They just can't mix with people from another household, and would have to socially distance in any case. Not sure quite what you are getting at?
