  1. I was told that common fraud behaviour is to put through a small transaction to check that the card is valid and works. If that goes through alright, then the fraudster starts on bigger stuff. the idea being that the small amount is proof of concept and if the bank account owner notices they will be puzzled rather than alarmed ("I don't remember buying that cup of coffee") and by the time they have asked their famility who borrowed their card, the account will be empty Johnjohn Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Hazel81 Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Luckily the fraud system on my card is good and > > the transaction was brought to my attention so > > they got nothing. > > > > Interesting to know there are more people We've > > been trying to find the common thread between > the > > 4 people in my home that have been defrauded > the > > same way.

  2. put your start/finish points into cycle.travel to check out the rest of the route. re the foot tunnel: the lifts are good and even walking you will be quick. The river's not wide, it's just cold, dirty and wet
  3. crows are highly intelligent. I think it just likes you. Quite right too. https://www.thoughtco.com/crows-are-more-intelligent-than-you-think-4156896 While a crow's brain may seem small in comparison to a human brain, what matters is the size of the brain in relation to the size of the animal. Relative to its body, a crow's brain and a primate brain are comparable. According to Professor John Marzluff at the University of Washington's Aviation Conservation Lab, a crow is essentially a flying monkey. Whether it's a friendly monkey or more like a fiend from "The Wizard of Oz" depends a lot on what you've done to the crow (or any of its friends). Can you tell one crow from another? In this respect, a crow may be smarter than you because it can recognize individual human faces. Marzluff's team captured crows, tagged them, and released them. Members of the team wore different masks. Crows would dive-bomb and scold people wearing a mask, but only if the mask had been worn by someone who had messed with them.
  4. report it to environmental services 0207 525 2000 or on https://www.fixmystreet.com both should work, former probably quicker than the latter
  5. I thought at first it had impediments on its feet that were stopping it flying away, but I think it was holding down a sparrow with some difficulty. It has now devoured the sparrow. Taken about 15 mins plus and still not finished. Sparrows are quite rare now in London (like starlings) but I feed them and have collected quite a lot.
  6. Parking on the pavement is an offence throughout London. Southwark enforces this rule. Phone Apcoa directly on 0207 708 8587. IME they come out rapidly.
  7. A similar problem is horrible plastic confetti. Thrown in the air and then blows all over the place. Paper is nice.
  8. Decisions don't bind a court or tribunal at the same level. The decision of one magistrates court does not bind another although it may have persuasive power. Decisions by a more senior tribunal or an appeal court bind lower courts. Although you were appealing the ticket, you were applying to the lowest level tribunal (ie it was a first court case). Their decision was not bound by decisions by other tribunals at that level but they would be bound by a more senior tribunal.
  9. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rights-to-light Looks as if it's a matter of private contract rather than planning law. Seems to be something like squatting ie if you have received the light for long enough you are entitled to it. It is a civil matter (ie you have to go to court about it). Planning departments may take it into account or they may not. https://www.123plans.co.uk/uploads/frontend/media/documents/rightstolight.pdf Further explanation https://www.pbctoday.co.uk/news/pbc-today-articles/rights-light-glance/20815/
  10. If the drop kerb is registered with the council, call Apcoa on 0207 708 8587 and they will ticket it. As someone said above you could ask that it be towed away.

In all the deportation cases I am aware of the criminal serves their sentence. If you have any evidence that their sentences are shortened by their nationality, I would be interested to see it. Once the sentence is served the foreign national may be transferred to immigration detention so that deportation can be arranged. The length of the sentence will be part of the deportation case. Shortening the sentence would make deportation (which is legally challengeable) less likely because it can be used to argue that the crime is more trivial and so does not justify deportation.

Why might they assume that they will get light sentences if they are foreign nationals?

  14. report this to Apcoa on 0207 708 8587. They come promptly and if this is a repeated problem they will include it in their motorbike rounds. Try a sign which says "blocking this drive will be ticketed". Builders near us wrote a similar message all over their boundary boards. They needed access etc. It worked. If you need your drive kept open, this is a practical method of achieving this.
  15. If you have a registered drop kerb, Apcoa will issue a ticket. Call them on 0207 708 8587
  16. I would expect someone whose autism has a potential for danger (to themselves or others) to be out in the community with more than one carer (funded by social services). How old was this young man, would you say?
  17. The HMO may be a distraction. All tenancies are covered by the Fitness for Human Habitation Regs. See link http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/34/contents/enacted/data.htm More simply -- contact environmental health in Lambeth (if the property is in Lambeth) and ask them.
  18. Plates on his car will be used for crime/congestion charge evasion. This happened to a friend of mine. Make sure you get a crime number Sally
  19. Or put it in a clothes re-cycling bin -- I've been told there's one on North Cross Road
  20. https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN01012 This is the House of Commons briefing paper on anti-social behaviour by private tenants or owner occupiers
  21. What they did for us was monitor it -- the gap closed in the winter -- they still declared it as subsidence (just because we reported it) so we had to pay the ?1000 excess and cut down the trees which were reckoned to be doing the damage. However we got a certificate of structural adequacy which I am glad to learn should make it easier to sell (there are historic signs of subsidence and we had problems when we bought). https://www.reallymoving.com/surveyors/guides/subsidence-cracks-what-to-do-if-you-think-you-ha
  22. Why don't you want to go through the Land Registry?
  23. Cardboard egg boxes can be soaked and put in the compost. They are just wood pulp.
