you can certainly switch from VM. Apparently they are under investigation from Ofcom for making it hard to cancel their packages. They are good at bidding themselves down so I should give it a try

ring and ask them for guidance. If you proceed without PP (and it turns out to be necessary), you may run into problems when you sell. Probably just mean buying indemnity insurance, but why not just get their views now

we went directly to the insurance company who taped a wire equivalent of the slide across the cracks. They said it had been moving but was stable (the wire did not break). They told us to take down the trees at our own expense, redecorated and (at the next renewal) halved the price of the insurance.

are all these non-happening checks related to Our Future Health questionnaires? Mine was. The question was something like "have you smoked and given up?." I had -- about 45 years ago. I was rung up by someone who established that I smoked for 3 years at Uni and this was long ago. She told me I would be rung by a nurse last Friday who would establish whether I needed an MRI. No one rang. seems reasonable to me

Took BT about a month to install our new cable but it was a bumpy ride. At one point I was told installation would be December 23rd. It was actually the following Friday. Staff from Openreach were very helpful though a bit exhausted by the chaos. The BT connection (£29.99 for two years) is fine. I'm in Nunhead.

Who stops you from climbing a ladder unaided?

You are right. All LTRN and residential roads in Southwark are (theoretically) 20mph.

the Law Society run Find a Solicitor https://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/ and on the same page a quick guide to common legal issues. The judge should be willing to delay the hearing if you ask, while you find a solicitor. Show evidence that you have been looking for one. Be sure to turn up to represent yourself and tell the judge what you want.

Too late for what? To late to avoid driving on the pavement?

Mine keeps stopping but so far has restarted. I'm in Nunhead. It's always flaky at the weekends. Make sure you get a deduction for the period it's not working.

The right to use the highway belongs to the King and all parking is obstruction of other people's right of way. This is the whole basis of parking charges. The kerb side does not belong to the person who gets there first. All parking is obstruction, we have just got so used to it we feel entitled to do it. We are not https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/66/part/IX/crossheading/obstruction-of-highways-and-streets

He should have a community psychiatric nurse keeping an eye on him in the community and making sure he takes his medication. The police (immediately) are the first port of call. Try the Neighbourhood Watch.

dry cleaners at Nunhead shops. Two doors down from Ayres, Evelina Road I should think. Quick, helpful not exorbitant

Malumbo, I think the "don't drink and drive" rules were effective because they were so inflexible. I was a junior reporter (in a magistrates court) in about 1976 when this guy was in court, charged with being drunk in charge of a car. He had come out of the pub, opened the car door, and passed out in the front seat with his keys in his hand. He was a travelling salesman and his defence lawyer pleaded that he would lose his job if he was banned from driving. The magistrates actually apologised to him but said that they had no choice but to ban him for a year. Self-evidently they would have let him carry on driving if they had been able to. But they weren't. It's this absence of wriggle-room to which I attribute the law-change's rapid success -- supported by peer pressure I agree -- plus police enforcement. All those Christmas campaigns

If you put it in a clothing bank or give it to a charity shop marked "rags" they will be able to sell it. I have reused worn out sheets and patched them. The problem can be that the whole sheet is worn out and weakened and it simply tears in different places.

Who advised you that a vit B12 injection might help?

Krystals in Nunhead. Brilliant etc

I handed over lots of medicines, opened and unopened, to my local pharmacy when my husband died. No problem at all. No charity would take prescription medicines. They are occasionally put into foodbank bins but not distributed, prescription or non-prescription. Prescription medicines are intended for the person they are prescribed for and no one else.

I'm a blood donor and this test is done on all donated blood otherwise it can't be used. Not all people with HIV are gay (so what anyway). If I were HIV positive I would certainly want to know.

The Gowlett wins. Open tomorrow, pizzas from noon, seats maybe. Pizzas are famed so sorted thank you

Must be open Christmas Eve just been let down by a booking suddenly cancelled

Yes, that's probably fair. I think cycle.travel does find the quietest routes and everyone values time/drama their own way. As I get older and uglier I'm not sure whether I get more safety conscious or less.
