Yes please!

I havent got a noisy dog problem, its a gang of teenagers!! playing football in the street at 2am!!

Many years ago an African family lived oposite the flat I lived in, I often saw the mother beating both her children with the buckle end of a belt! This continued for many weeks on a daily basis. On a number of occasions I called out to her and said any more and I would call the police. Obuse followed in tyrades! It got to the point she would bring the kids out into the garden to beat them just so that i could see!! I called the police, they came and said not much they could do because it was their culture!! bear in mind this was in the 70's and child abuse was very low on the authorities mind! After that tho i received a lot of abuse from the children defending their mother, you can't always win!

I thought i asked a perfectly reasonable question but heho! Perhaps it is going to be a police station that actually serves the public?

Again there are rumours of a M&S being brought to Dulwich, on the site of the police station no less! Who starts these rumours? Is there any truth? Might as well put it to some use because police presence is non-descript!

I would like to recommend an Italian resturant. "That's Amore" Kirkdale, SE23. Wonderful atmosphere, great food, good music and very welcoming staff. All in all a good night out.

Thank you for your info! the car was bought three weeks ago, I contacted him when the faults came to light after a week, and have had various txt conversations with him since. I have these converstions still on my phone. We will of course seek advise from CAB and I am sure take him to small claims court if advised so. I hope this can be sorted but either way it is an expensive lesson! Again many thanks for your help.

My son went to renew his insurance and they told him it had increased by ?250 because they had had a lot of claims because of the snow!! ffs! How about a reduction for him not claiming!!

Sorry about spelling *post*

Hi Ladymuck, I see that you have replied to my daughters most and thank you for that. When my husband bought the car the owner said he had done certain things, like cambelt, thermosat and water pump. He didn't have the receipt for this but said he would foward it on!! We since had to have the thermostat changed because mechanic said it was faulty, it then broke down again and AA garage have now said that head gasket is faulty (previous owner admits work done on this)and that has cause damage that cannot be repaired. Mechanics say work done on the head gasket woulod have shown the damage therefore they would have know about it when the car was sold! Sorry its a bit long winded but would this be a basis for small claims? I have spoken to him and he says he will take us to the garage that done the work for him. M x

Guiseppes in Borough High (Nr London Bridge) street is one of the best Italians around, small cosy brilliant atmosphere, you get seranaded by an Italian singer!! then disco after til late. Fantastic!!

Must admit quite a while ago!! but believe me once tasted, other pies do not measure up!! But I will keep trying. Like your idea steveo! but I do value my life!!

No tried it, it doesn't work! This is an old recipe of my Aunt, I have tried it loads of different ways and can't get same result!

Not wanting to make this into a cookery forum but does anyone know where to get Knorr Oxtail soup cubes? used to be able to get them but haven't seen them for many years! This relates to a yummy recipe for a PIE!! Recipe doesn't work without this ingredient!

H I think the point maybe that if appliances are removed from service at any given time only one appliance will be able to go to an incident thereby jeopardising the life of public and crew. A house fire would normally have two appliances reporting. You obviously do not believe this or what a firefighter is telling you, thats up to you. I certinly would not want to put it to the test and hope that the removal of these applliances is not permanent.

I take your point on that! Obviously we aren't privvy to the negotiations that go on and only hear the negatives from both sides. I am sure that this will be resolved and hopefully soon. But I do not think that the remarks and treatment that Mr. Coleman is metering out is helpful to the situation. His complete disreguard is poisoning. Boris hasn't helped matters much either!! Do I hear a more sympathetic tone in your voice DJKQ? I hope so! No one wants a satisfactory resolve in this than the ff's and their families! Can I send you a "I support Firefighters" wristband?? >:D

Exactly right DJKQ, problem is when they are needed they will not be there, 7 days out of 10 they may not be needed but what about the other three days when they are? Someone will pay the price. Yesterday there was a bad incident in Poplar, fire broke out in a block of flats, 10 appliances from 6 different stations, that then leaves short cover in other areas. This happens often but with fewer appliances it will happen more and more. FF's are not opposed to shift changes, they are realisitic and know that work patterns change, the oposition is because they know, and this has been born out, that these sort of cuts will endanger lives. I feel it is not a matter of if but a matter of when!

Pilgrim is right about the standbys. The cover has been reduced on all shifts, mainly because of the removal of the 27 appliances. Some stations that had two appliances now only have one, that means if they are called to an incident, night or day, and it need two appliances then they have to wait for an appliance from another station, this may cause delays depending on how many appliances are in use at that time. If the station had the correct amount of appliances then this wouldn't happen. The reason for the standbys is because there are not enough ff's to cover all shifts in all stations. I think this is correct, I am sure Brum will let us know if I have anything wrong?

H I haven't lost any argument, I am attacking Mr Coleman because he is attacking the firefighters by removing 27 appliances it is in fact a 16% reduction in fire cover. SO if these appliances are removed permanently then 500+ ff's that crew these appliances will lose their jobs which is roughly 10.3% of the workforce. You may ask whether we need these appliances back? I for one really do not want to find out. This reduction will increase the call out time drastically. The strikes were about section 188 but the dispute on the shifts changes were because the ff's new that these were all about cuts in fire cover.

very droll!

Its on the top of finger, does same apply? Massive!!!

To pop a blister or not to pop a blister????

I dont want to start another riot but think this is relevent and confirms what FF's have been saying! http://torytroll.blogspot.com/2010/11/brian-coleman-says-brigade-has-over.html http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/news/2010/11/08/bereaved-wife-s-rage-at-fire-boss-blunder-in-minute-s-silence-115875-22700817/ This shows the sort of man he is!
