Love this site. You ask and if they care they will answer.

Just please look up now and again? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-36805615?post_id=10155711554065580_10157076663400580#_=_

Someone I know got their cheque for their overpayment rebate and Southwark are charging a ?69 admin fee.

Which is my point.

LOVE the comment the councillor made about the rights of busses over other traffic. Meanwhile and since this time, the Oval area now has no bus lane, as the bus lane was sacrificed for dedicated cycle lanes. Obviously that was TfL and not Mr Barber. Anyway, good luck fixing this one again James.

That really is an annoying bit of road, because the cars are all having to be in one lane, the outside lane, then they have to shove over when their lane has to turn right to Sydenham Hill. Some don't bother looking in the rear view mirror and on my motorbike I have nearly come a cropper (well I would have, had I not been doing just 30mph and paying attention), when the cars move lanes. There are a few like that, on East Dulwich Road towards Peckham Rye Park for example and that nuts bit of road where sometimes car drivers do not realise it's TWO WAY! Yikes. And in the middle of that mess is the entrance to Tescos and the garage. Life in the fast lane!

s20 notices are for when they want to affect us. The OP wants to get herself a new door. I don't think it's relevant in this case.

I would write to Leaseholders Citizens Advice Bureau for advice. They are at 8 Market Square on the Southwark Park Road. This situation sounds NUTS! I get that any council feels responsible for its own leaseholders safety and so on, but this is madness. Fight fight fight.

Brilliant, and there was and may be still is a TinTin exhibition at Somerset House with accompanying shop goodies. My other suggestion would be tin plates tin mugs, wrap them all in Tin Foil?

The above implications are that Oyster PAYG does not have daily caps. It does. But I do not know if it has weekly caps too as I don't use it that often. Not going down the contactless route (I love cash folding green as the Americans call it) I shall always keep Oyster PAYG. When you forget to tap back in or out, then go on TfL website and log into your Oyster account (because you have all registered your Oystercards, right?) and see they have charged you lots, they DO give you the option to say where you got off/on ie where you forgot to touch in, give a reason, and they will refund. I have done this twice. Having said that, the refund can only be put back on your card when next you check in to a train station of your choice. As I rarely if ever use trains / overground /TFL Line, that is a nuisance. Just so' you know.

Hi all, I would like to offer my condolences as it were to the terrible situation you all find yourselves in. Just proves that all the rules in the world mean nothing when it comes to any kind of company trying to do things for cheap when they think they can get away with it. I can not imagine how you all feel.

1) If the invoice is for an amount and is dated over 18 months after the first s20 then you don't have to pay. Search the eighteen month rule. 2) If you believe that the amount is wrong or unreasonable please go to the Leaseholder Citizens Advice Centre, 8 Market Place, on Southwark Park Road, Rotherhithe. In the meantime keep copies of EVERYTHING including every email they send to you and you send to them/ the council. 3) Ignore the idiots who have posted above who know not the facts of being a Southwark Council Leaseholder. If I had paid attention to grok for example, I would not have got ?2,200 off the price of what was asked of me for replacement windows; this ?2,200 was added outside the 18 month rule. 4) Become a member of Leaseholders Association of Southwark. Google this and find the address. Run by unpaid volunteers they have been very valuable to me in their sensible and well researched advice. Be business-like about this. Best wishes.

To be fair, supermarkets sell stuff that isn't just all Cadburys and even Lindt. They're lots of expensive chocolates in those stores now from different companies. I have been known to make my own so as you're looking to spend lots of money on them I am happy to help you part with your money....

Love this thread. Meanwhile, back in 1974 when I was very sweet and na?ve, I fell in love with Terry Jacks 'Seasons in the Sun', the B side of which was the achingly sad song about his dead dog, but was titled "Put The Bone In". I really had no idea.

Whenever anyone has a cold flu virus then everyone says there is a bug going around. Always. And it shall ever be so. Specially with cramped public transport acting as a lovely petris dish for sharing and the pressures upon people to go to work when so ill, and adverts advertising not very efficient remedies so that people think they feel better when they are still ill, so they feel guilty and think they're able to do a day's work whilst all the time infecting more people at work and on cramped public transport. So that's why it goes around. Rant over :D

http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200440/garages/2053/map_of_southwark_garages The link above will take people to a Southwark Council website page advertising garages for rent at currently ?18.63 ish. a week. Just thought some of you would be interested as that is relatively cheap I understand. I am not advertising personally, and don't profit. But sharing publically available information as a result of a thread about stolen motorcycles.

They are currently nearly ?19 a week but to be fair to Southwark Council they have a very useful website section which shows you where there are vacant garages, so don't understand why there is a waiting list. On Rye Hill Estate there are several available. Here is the link. You do not have to be a tenant of any estate upon which there are garages and now you do not even need a car! We think some are rented by private businesses which is a bit naughty but what do Southwark care if they get regular money. http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200440/garages/2053/map_of_southwark_garages

It is very difficult to prevent theft of a bike. It really is. If you can afford the current rent of just under ?19 a WEEK for a rented Southwark Council garage, your insurance will go down for sure. Southwark garages are there to be rented around the Council area. But I am so sorry to read these stories. Data tag and the best locks you can afford, attached to railings and so on is otherwise as good as it gets and they'll still cut through bolts.

Seeing their website, yep, they can afford to pay actors!

(I've emailed her those questions btw!)

Wait, so you don't need actors, so why even mention that no acting experience is necessary? I mean, if it were, you would go straight to Spotlight / Casting Call Pro, etc, for professional actors. Right? So, what exactly are you looking for? Being professionals, as you are.

So there should be cameras at every junction, traffic light, one way system, at the point of every instruction sign, every bus lane, cycle lane, and you seriously think that would improve things?

Just me? Can't be. As I walked out again I saw the Apple logo on the door. I remember reading about this whole thing, but I am not an Apple customer and still can not work out how my phone's details were suddenly available to what I assume is the recently acquired technology in the shop, so that the phone was texted by Apple. Not got it on me right now but the text basically said that if I logged on I could pay using that system in that shop; ie Forest Hill Road Post Office. I still use cash!

You can buy a set of cups which include the table spoon tea spoons half tea- and table spoons, half a cup third cup quarter cup at places like Lakeland, and ebay. I use these measurements a lot. Go get 'em!

My body's going to be played with / I mean experimented on by medical students. Medical profession has saved my life and kept me going ALL my life. It's the least I can do after I'm done with it. http://www.kcl.ac.uk/lsm/study/departments/anatomy/lao/index.aspx
