'Failing to Display a Tax Disc' is seldom used thesedays because a quick check with the DVLA will usually settle things, especially with ANPR technology. Ask any biker - we can go for weeks forgetting to dismantle the holder and pop a new disc in. All I've ever had is a DVLA sticker saying 'We will be checking to see if you have a valid vehicle licence and fining you in the post if you don't' placed on the saddle. This looks like a pair of PCSOs killing some time at the end of their shift. If only they were as vigilant when it comes to litter and graffiti...

Have you a bank statement with a transaction to DVLA for payments?

Sainsbury's are doing victuals two-for-one at the mo...

Good idea. Listing the last places and roughly the time you last used the card, the locations of fraudulent transactions and the amount taken.

Victorian gas main replacement, by all accounts. Bloody Victorians, what have they ever done for us?

I've noticed that Somerfield has taken steps to remedy the situation by er, cable-tying their Chip & Pin terminals to the counters.

As opposed to the tired, cobwebbed, empty, desperately over-attentive previous surroundings? I'll take my chances.

NAIL 'em up I say! Nail some sense into 'em!

Coin operated BBQs in Peckham Rye, Dulwich Park and Goose Green, like these Down Under: http://www.parc.co.nz/bbq.jpg or, better: http://www.rossmotel.com.au/images/large/caravan_BBQ.jpg And: A tramline from Goose Green to town; motorbikes allowed in bus lanes; Adventure Bar re-named; that block that used to be the Co-op until 1944 demolished and rebuilt as a modern, funky parade of shops and flats.

Anchor & Hope? Still is, partly. Better know as 'Best Gastropub in London' according to Time Out a couple of years ago. Great food, but first come-first served seating is a pain.

Hisar - best in ED. Stomach just rumbled thinking about it.

Anchor & Hope, The Cut, Waterloo. Lobster Pot, Kennington.

My bank thinks our cards were defrauded at an ATM, although there was an article on TV this morning about rogue checkout operators using stolen and doctored chip & pin handsets. So much for that breakthrough security measure.

Breakdance 2 - Electric Boogaloo.

That sprawling collection of nonsense called GV15 by ED railway station. Unimaginative and depressing. DKH is pretty good; the wood and dark grey look modern and well-coordinated. Ditto the block opposite - Mary Seacow Court or something - especially when the sun hits the bright brick-red staircase in the evening. NB: 3-bed flat in Overhill/Underhill block: ?390k.

Read the piece, but still don't really know what it is. Maybe that's their problem. As far as I'm concerned, I'm out (in Duncan Bannatyne voice).

Unless there's a sign allowing it, like the pavement parking on lower Melbourne Grove or Gallery (or is it College?) Road, Dulwich Village, you haven't got a chance unfortunately.

"She's a naughty girl with a bad habit, a bad habit for drugs..." Class.

Virgin have just called me and, as well as Mrs Kford's card cloned and used in the Philippines, I now have had my card copied and used in Senegal and Ghana. Without being prompted, they said it might be 'a local Texaco petrol station', which I used a few days ago. Other than that, my transactions have been in town or at places like Soup Dragon.

Not short of a few (Mrs) bob, then?

They need something akin to the Nazis adding an extra cog to the Enigma machine - perhaps an on-screen password letter/number system - as in online banking - so the combination changes with every withdrawal.

Hmm. Mrs Kford's just had a call from our bank telling her that her Maestro card has just been used for a series of transactions in the Philipines. They cancelled it, and luckily it was on a couple of hundred quid. She's wracking her brain to rememeber where it was used, as she prefers the Barclay's ATM to the tampered-with HSBC. It would definitely be an ED cloning though, as she's only been local lately.
