  1. Or just cut it up. They are easily replaced. The danger is theft from the account using the card. Cutting it up and otherwise destroying it deals with that.
  2. Did you take the car number? Otherwise the council wil have to look through it for an address.
  3. well behaved at Paddington. On a promise of a direct donation to a website, they refuse, you have to buy a magazine. I suspect they are not paid but get a slice of what they sell. Like the lads selling overpriced tea towels door-to-door this is the same as the people who used to try and get you to switch power supplier (eventually banned). They had no further info tolook at. You just had to agree to their form of words (of which you had no proof) and sign. They were paid for every signature.
  4. ask at your pharmacy or ask the council.
  5. I've got all these things, flocks of sparrows, messy front garden etc pm me if you are still offering the terrace
  6. Try somewhere like Newport. On the main railway line to Wales. Near Bristol (20) mins) which is a cultural hub. Two-bed house £100.000 Or consider moving closer to your children. You will only get older and, if you like them, loved ones can be a source of comfort.
  7. Thanks all for the encouragement and suggestions about finding the jigsaws good homes. Only the rain is impeding their distribution now. Any suggestions about chilldren's videos from the 90s? Educational generally, a bit trendy (Magic Roundabout) and Trumpton (I had a collecting binge)
  8. I've run before sunrise (elderly woman wearing thick unflattering , but warm, gear.) I haven't noticed this guy. Is the earlier daylight improving things?
  9. A friend has taken some to a dementia group and I took some to Sense this morning
  10. that's good to know. I've always worried about that
  11. I've got about 25 jigsaws 250 to 500 pieces of wildlife and nature. They were bought for a learning disabled adult so I had education in mind. Most are thick cardboard but about half a dozen are wood. They are all complete. Anyone think of a local charity shop which would like them?
  12. I think part of the problem is that BT has all its work done by Openreach which is a separate company. One guy from BT explained to me that he had no special connection with OR and could only deal with their call centre in India which was as useful as we all know such call centres to be. so the BT staff whom you talk to have no influence on the work.
  13. southwark foodbank
  14. Ring them up. They assessed the household on the phone, agreed that we would almost certainly save money and activated it.
  15. There are different types of parking fines with different fines and penalties. The first thing to establish is who issued or claimed to issue the penalty This https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts/parking-tickets/appealing-parking-tickets/appealing-a-parking-ticket/ explains the first steps
  16. who is the fine issued by?
  17. https://www.openingtimesin.uk/lidl-london-peckham depends where you are. This one is the closest to me
  18. I use Firefox and Opera and I don't get ads in either. I haven't installed any adblockers. Probably in settings. I get asked about cookies in both and they are easy to reuse and delete I don't use Chrome or google search.
  19. As I think Colville might agree, it's hard to overemphasise the level of chaos. My complaint line went to BT and was fine. The problem was that he had to get info from OR and his only contact was OR customer service which was the normal level of customer service you find everywhere ie didn't answer the phone, didn't give any sort of sensible answer when they did etc. And they were one company, OR was BT's only supplier. "Our computer systems don't talk to one another" the BT guy said, by way of extenuation. Try Ofcom
  20. I had a choice and decided to give up my landline and rely on mobile. I'm 71. Key to this choice was learning that in a power cut a digital landline would not work. I did change my internet to BT. That was fully installed by a very nice Open Reach engineer who plugged it all together. The whole experience was a lesson in chaos (BT/Openreach) and frustration (me). But the end product was good. The guys who did the work were charming and delightful, fully trustable to help plug in the digital ohones,
  21. fast rat run. good bus service
  22. Power of attorney is straightforward to do oneself. For a will consider Anthony Gold. As executors, I second Malumbu. Choose sensible relatives considerably younger than yourself. If you haven't got any, consider a solicitor
  23. Or use different browsers. Opera or Firefox block adverts by default.
  24. It sounds like a corporate decision rather than anything pharmaceutical. Nunhead shops include two pharmacies in a brief shopping street both flourishing. The staff at Lloyds may have been demoralised if the shutdown was happening however hard they worked.
