This thread is nearly three years old. The issue is long sorted. Why are people reviving such old threads? There have been several recently.

It was never the same sitting in that big room, though I can sort of understand why they changed all the layout. They used to sell chocolate coffee beans in the tiny shop part they had at the front as you went in. I miss those! And, if memory serves, croissants?

Pretty sure it was 1991 or 2? It was just after I moved to East Dulwich. Very sad to see it go, but I never really understood why it was changed to a rum lounge. I liked it best in its original incarnation, with several separate quirky little rooms.

Thanks KK, I will edit my post (senility strikes again :)) )

You have been ill, haven't you, Dulwich Fox? Are you looking forward to the ?350,O00,000 per week (was it? Whatever was on the front of that bus that Boris Johnson posed in front of) that the NHS is going to "gain" when we leave the E.U.? It wasn't true. Was it?

Perhaps you would like to explain exactly what you mean by "rabid champagne socialist ignorant element"? I'm particularly interested in your definition of "ignorant", in this context. Thanks.

All downhill from now on, then.

Somebody elsewhere, possibly Facebook, confirmed it was a cormorant. I quite often see them on the Thames, never in Peckham though :)

Do you put out bird food? I have a seed feeder and a suet ball feeder, plus Niger seed (I've never seen a goldfinch here, but my partner has). Wondering if there's anything in particular which might attract long tailed tits?

How did any of them learn to swing on door handles, then? :))

I don't know about indoors, but there was a green wall planted outside in Islington, and it sadly failed due to problems with the irrigation system so that many of the plants died. I would have thought indoors you'd have to be very careful about damp? I'm pretty sure that there are companies who specialise in this, if you Google. They may be able to advise you even if you aren't going to use them. And I agree that Pearspring may well be able to help. I have found them both helpful and knowledgeable.

Dear oh dear, BNG! :)) :)) :))

Oh great. Well it got as far as "Looking for new photos and videos" appearing on my laptop. So far so good. Then, it says 7463 !!!!!!!!! items found so far. WTF. My mobile appears to have photos on it going back to 2001. I didn't even have a phone with a camera then. And now the laptop page is just sitting there. It doesn't appear to be doing anything at all. The 7463 number is not moving, and no photos are disappearing from my phone. I've already cancelled it and started again once. I'm giving up for the night :( ETA: Oh great. I just noticed some photos moving across the top of the screen rather quickly saying "view/keep". Surely it's not going to show me over 7,000 photos one by one?? Is that how this works?

Yes. Everything on my laptop is backed up by Carbonite. I just found that some series of photos on my phone had three or four identical copies of each :( This must have been due to copying backwards and forwards at various times in the past I suppose, without actually transferring them :(

Ah. "Share across devices" is on. I'll turn it off pro tem. But I'm not sure how that may affect things if I then turn it back on. I want to share things like emails, Facebook and Twitter, how would that work? Had a look, and although it's turned on, it says "You haven't given access to any apps or services yet. Once you do, they'll show up here". So presumably that can't be affecting anything. OK, I've gone into Autoplay, which I didn't even know existed, and I've set the phone to import photos and videos to photos as a default (rather than onedrive or dropbox). So HOPEFULLY that should sort it. Even I'm getting bored with this now :)) :)) :)) Thanks very much again all, fingers crossed! I'm having a rest before I try it!

I've just done a live chat with Moto. The person was very helpful. Though embarrassingly, I discovered that my existing phone is a G4 Plus not a G6 Plus :)) Maybe I've had it longer than I thought :)) Anyway, she has told me to do what I think people have told me to do on here, ie connect the phone to the laptop via USB, then press on MTP/file transfer or transfer files. Then move the photos from the phone. She says this won't sync via google. It had better not!!!!! ETA: Sadly there is no option with Moto Migrate not to transfer the photos, so I have to get them off the old phone first.

Thanks RichH. I have Windows 10. I've just looked, and my phone isn't listed under "your phone". The other option I have is to find out if there's any way I can adjust the Moto Migrate app so that it doesn't transfer the photos. I'll have to do a bit more googling! I wouldn't mind if the photos stayed on my old phone pro tem, I just don't want them on the new one. The problem is, last time I tried to transfer photos from my phone to my laptop, I ended up with photos on my phone going back to 2002 GRRRRRRRR.
