  1. Its Keston Road. Thanks. The house next door is a housing association building and is affected in the same way but all their repairs and redecoration has been completed so presumably they didn't feel it necessary to chop the tree. It would be good to know as we are very reluctant to have it removed if there is any way it can be saved.
  2. On a related issue - where an insurance company has identified a council tree as the culprit in a subsidence case and the council agrees to chop it down, is there a requirement to replace with a different tree? I am asking as this has happened with two trees in our street and currently in our own situation. So three gaps where lovely pear and cherry trees were is an eyesore apart from anything else. A mystery why certain trees, though beautiful, are planted only to be removed?
  3. Uber are a disreputable company and very arrogant. Theirs is not a good business model. Maybe Sadiq Khan is gambling with this approach with the hope that whilst going through the appeal process Uber will undertake a thorough review of itself and come back with conciliatory gestures.
  4. So she was going to give them ?3,800?!
  5. So she only paid ?10 - not ?2000 or ?200 as specified? Very lucky and major kudos to the bank.
  6. Arrived home at 6 to find no Virgin broadband & tv. No idea how long it was off. After speaking to someone they confirmed it was a cable issue and that the estimated recovery time would be 23.30 tonight. When I said I had important work to complete they put me through to customer support to complain. Was wrongly transferred twice and while hanging on for ages the tv suddenly came on. When I eventually got through she said that they give an extra long estimated recovery time to cover themselves. I said this was unreliable and not proper support to customers and she could only apply the daily rate of ?3 or so as compensation. Grr...
  7. I travel thee a few times a week and get the Peckham Rye/Denmark Hil train for just the one/two stops and then hop on a bus over Waterloo Bridge. Just a short walk from there.
  8. Mine has been intermittent and very slow for the last couple of days in Keston.
  9. Bought 20 on a roll for ?1 this morning from Poundland in Rye Lane
  10. That's great to know - shame it hadn't started when I got mine but next time!
  11. That's useful to know as I couldn't find anyone local for my Swatch and went back to Oxford Street.
  12. If you want informal and flexible we liked the Constitutional Club. Fair price and they let you come in before to put your own decorations up.
  13. Many thanks!
  14. I'm probably being a bit slow here but someone has sent me a photograph by email and I need to upload it to an online site. How can I do this? I've done some others but they are on my iPad and that was straightforward.
  15. First Direct are very efficient.
  16. Using his skate(S)
  17. It was the Fox & Firkin in Lewisham near Ladywell - remember going in the first week!

Were you "knocked over" or > only "almost" knocked down? Blimey, thanks for the support Robbin - are you a pavement-riding cyclist?
  20. I posted a few weeks ago as a cyclist knocked me over on the pavement outside the Flying Fish. Just walked back from Rosie's chip shop and was almost knocked down by a bike on the pavement. I pointed at the road as he sped off where he should have been and was greeted with"shut the F..... up you F.....ing white c.... still in shock and feel quite ill.
  21. I am going through this annual process currently and finding the same. The Post Office have emailed me saying they guarantee 50% less if like for like so will test this!
  22. Their website says they open today.
  23. I would be interested to understand the reasons for having it?
  24. Apols if this has been covered before but what purpose does parent parking serve - can't immediately think of any reason?

    8 June

    Just watched the news interview with TM. Quite scary as she looked disturbed throughout and sounded even more robotic. It was almost as though she hadn't realised that the election was anything to do with her and she was an innocent bystander. Said her main concern was her colleagues who had lost their seats "through no fault of their own and didn't deserve this". Quite spooky.
