  1. SE21 7DG is Calton Ave...

It's about to have its fair share of 'road design-related' accidents, like that VW Polo that struck the poorly-located centre bollard a few weeks ago.
  4. Max height is 100mm. This one is way higher than that and the red paint and gouges on the edges of it suggest that buses are striking it already. I suspect that the resurfacing of the road either side of it will make it lower. My problem is that it's a situated on a bend. I've said before on here that such a severe change to the road surface in such a location is dangerous for two-wheelers.
  5. Agreed - all parties are at it. Tory Barnet and Westminster are among the worst in the country.
  6. CPZs spread, like drops of oil on water, until whole areas are covered and everyone's paying ?100+ for permits, with fewer parking spaces and parking attendants scanning the area for the slightest misdemeanour.
  7. A big recycling bin can only be a good thing; better if the 'everything else' bin was half the size, or contained a splitter with one half for composting and one half for the non-recyclable.
  8. APCOA's shareholders will be up in arms.
  9. @ myname here: A Parking Enforcement system has to be run with the utmost integrity When it's run as a private profit-making enterprise, as all council contracts are, this is impossible.
  10. Your answer will be on one the forums on this site: http://www.landlordzone.co.uk/
  11. Anyway, they're not speed camera cars. Not equipped or certified for it. They're really only used to nab bad parkers and no-right-turners.
  12. I completely agree. The place looks overrun with blue bins. No consideration whatsoever to the visual impact on the environment. This should've been the solution, used on the continent and in Australia: http://www.zero-2-land.ndo.co.uk/Split%20wheelie%20bin..jpg But, as Loz says, it's too late and the money has been spent.

  14. ?4 pints? X-Factor?
  15. And a proper Black Country/Brum balti is eaten only with the naan, not with utensils. And a bottle of ice cold Kingfisher or Cobra. *wipes drool from chin*
  16. The mexican was doomed from the start. At least the old place had a local charm. A good tapas bar would be welcome (and I not that the mexican plot has mention of a spanish eatery as a replacement.)
  17. It nearly threw me off my bike the other day, but I think it's been filled with a bucketful of tarmac temporarily.
  18. Good luck with it. Had two bikes stolen like that over the years, both recovered by the police in a couple of days, minus lock barrels & alarm wiring loom, but recovered, none the less. Fingers crossed for you!
  19. How about something like this: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=cool+billboard&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N&biw=1255&bih=635&tbm=isch&tbnid=FLj2dx6nWDelXM:&imgrefurl=http://www.unfinishedman.com/worlds-most-creative-advertisements-and-billboards/&docid=HsGclg6zmIoVbM&w=500&h=664&ei=tWN7TvP1AfD54QTHwZm9Dw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=182&page=3&tbnh=159&tbnw=112&start=34&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:34&tx=50&ty=50
  20. Nice to see the traffic calming is already working - the new central reservation lamppost by the junction with Melbourne Grove is at a crazy angle, dented with vehicle debris and glass around the base, in addition to the lorry scrape on the other side. Still, at least it's keeping people in a job, replacing the damaged street furniture.
  21. How much profit do the American contractors APCOA make? PS, they're still parking with their engines running for their entire shift. They also operate their mobile phones while the engine is running. This is illegal, with a fine and points from the police.
  22. The green (in colour) bin could be half the size, like it is on the continent and in Australia.
  23. Reminds me of Kit Williams' 'Masquerade'. Quite like it.
  24. The Sweeney - Underhill & Dunstans junction Mona Lisa - Upland Road, end of Daryll Road Think there's a thread on here somewhere
  25. Hope you're OK! Damn diesel x
