Sorry but I've only been here nearly twenty years. After your time. I knew the Uplands, though :)

I don't know, but you can phone them to find out on 020 8693 1833 :)

Well I think it must be, because there was a notice up saying that the pool was closed due to the water temperature.

There are relatively few shops, restaurants and cafes there, and surely if you are going there to shop or to eat/drink you are going to spend most of your time inside the shops/restaurants/cafes? Except on market days. Unless you are sitting on the seats outside The Palmerston (which are for customers only, of which I have not been one since it changed hands) or on the seat down by the photos. Which people do anyway, though the road is not closed off. Have I missed something? Quite probably :)

I can't remember who was the courier and whether they wanted a signature. I've just had a parcel from Hermes, who did require a signature. The other side of this issue is that some people claim they have not receive items when they have. I understand that this has been a particular problem with eBay. It has put me off selling anything on eBay, as I have read that eBay always sides with the buyer. I don't know if that is true.

Helen Hayes is a brilliant MP, and if she is on the case I doubt that will happen without a very good reason. Although, this is basically a council matter, isn't it?

One where various vehicles sit with their engines on at different times? There doesn't seem to be any way to report a single vehicle?

Apparently a boiler is not working. They are hoping to get it fixed by the end of the week but can't be sure. :( :( :(

And those parks are large enough that the outdoor gym equipment doesn't spoil the appearance of the park.

It may have changed, of course, but I guess even if it hasn't maybe they will know something about this mural.

I'd be happy to take them off your hands! I can use them on my allotment!

It wasn't clear if they were looking for a specific Portuguese person or Portuguese speakers in general. I suggested they post on here rather than go house to house! It didn't really occur to me until now that they might have some ulterior motive. I thought the second person was a child, but I only caught a glimpse of them from the back,so it could have been a quite small adult.

That's ridiculous. Surely they need a signature as proof of delivery.

Yep

Are people suggesting that KidKruger has posted a picture of a woman on here who was just a random person passing by? With no good reason for doing it? Come on ....

4:1 to Carlisle :(
