Thanks for all your pointers above, all good and interesting. Thanks also for PM's i will definitely get back to you on those. Cheers. As i mentioned earlier, i have some experience but it was a long time ago! Need to brush up on my knowledge so I'll definitely give it a go. I was researching smaller hives rather than the std as initially, i have no ambition to make kilos of honey. Simply just to follow a season through test the water and of course taste the Dulwich Honey :) Im not really sure how large a colony one could expect to get in an urban environment/concrete jungle?. I shall keep you posted! Thanks again for tips so far. P/

^I have reported numerous things to the police over the years. sadly very little ever comes of it. Just my experience though.

Nothing on the Southwark planning portal for that address. (edit:Typo)

So.... When i were a lad, my Grandad use to produce honey for the National trust for Scotland and when i was younger i would help him out quite a bit. Mostly involved driving round various 'Heather' based locations looking after and tending to the hives etc.. Now that he has passed and i live down Saff ;-) i really fancy giving it ago. A sort of urban bee keeping on a tiny scale, back yard bee keeping if you will. Enough to feed the family annually and some spare for friends. Ie, i don't want a million Bees in my garden! So, question to you lot: is there anyone else at it already? Got any tips etc.... (I remember most of the process but am also i bit grey on some of the more important aspects.....) Help and advice sought!

CPR was in a bad condition. Though there are other that are far worse.

^Narnia, The theory goes that if they didn't need so much money this year, they won't be given so much the next. So presumably instead of us getting nice new smooth roads only for Thames water to dig up three days later, the money might /could end up going to other things like wars or the NHS or other boring stuff like that:) Politics eh!

Lol, you started the subject .... and i have to agree. It's totally boring! Which was kind of my point in the first place ;)

I would hazard a guess that you have absolutely no idea as to what's is involved in renewing a road surface? (i for one don't!) In which case how can you possibly comment on their progress?? All i'm saying is chill out and give them a wee bit of a break, it's not like they've been laying about for weeks... Jeebus, they only started on Monday!

Not sure how far you have to travel, but cycle for the win! Will take half the time..i would bet.

It's only going to last a few days....i think they're making rather good progress. Not like it's been going on for weeks let alone months. Really, is it that much of an inconvenience to you...?

MAybe i was also a bit sarcastic... i know, lowest form of wit eh!

I honestly do think your OP is a bit pathetic. But that's the beauty of a forum, so we can discuss things freely & openly. Just no need to be rude that's all :)

There are alot of things i too dislike, i try not to resort to base answers like yours. Ie, you answer was fine without the snide

Would be a major miracle i'm afraid :( But i'm feeling positive for you.....lol

Pratt! Easy now.....

exactly!.... and your laptop i bet ;-) Seriously though, hope you find it dude!

^ thank you Horsebox :) Trying to lighten up the gloom of loosing a MANbag....

I would never condone that. But really.... as if they don't rip us off..... Wouldn't be a proper business if they couldn't in some way make money out of us would it.

Big bummer :( on a plus once you get over the loss, think of the nice insurance claim you could make. That Leica camera was lushty ;)

^probably because that last thread got derailed by twats. So admin followed them and put it in the lounge as usual....

Oh dear :( so what would you have spent the money on then? no pleasing some eh......... lizzie Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Why I was pissed off before was that because of > the snow my section of CPR was a no parking zone > for weeks and weeks.

^we're you just a little bit over the limit ;)

Haha, M7post, I would completely ignore Anonymous-Peckhamboy. As he said himself, has nothing to contribute to your post other than nit-pick on the tone of it.... poor show sir :(

M7post, you/we have every right to be angry about this! @ Peckhamboy, i don't think the OP undermined his argument in anyway.
