Trust me on this: BT IF you get any emails seemingly from BT, on any email clients whether BT or not, please forward them TO: [email protected] UNLESS YOU KNOW that it is from BT ie. it doesn't ask you for information but that you can check on your own 'My BT' website that, say, you have a message about your bill. EQUALLY email him after you have had a telephone call from an Indian telling you he or she is from BT and they give an anglicised name, ESPECIALLY if they appear to know your account number. They have done this to me twice, cited my account number, but when I ask them what my name is, they hang up. Tell D Reynolds this - time and date of call and exactly what they said. Try and keep pen and paper by your (landline) phones for this purpose. eBay If you get any emails from eBay that aren't the usual ones about forthcoming free insertion weekends, forward them to: [email protected] PayPal If you get any emails from PayPal that ask you for information or a link to your putting your info in, forward these emails to: [email protected] From ebay and Paypal you'll get an auto reply then another saying whether it was spoof or not. You may not hear from D Reynolds at BT but in his heart he'll thank you. Edited to add the phonecall section on the BT bit. Peckham Rose. The one and only genuine.

I did look at this before hand. They have to ask us for comments. They have to 'consult'. They HAVE already made up their minds what they're going to do and indeed have already started.... "Cynic from Peckham"

Lithium ion batteries - cheaply acquired ones usually made in China - should not be allowed on planes as one exploded inside a camera in an overhead apartment setting off a small fire. Just threw that in for info. MEANWHILE on this new thread. How did they know the comms were turned off before the last communication? How did they know it was the last communication if the communications were turned off? As sad and tragic as this case is, it still gives me a tiny bit of - well, not happiness - but I am glad there are still some curiosities out there when USA and others would have you believe there is no escape and everything can be seen.

Good point, or wait until all the works have been done before buying. We bought our flat after the electrics were done.

Give me Nunhead any day..... .... ....

Wot, no photo? ;)

And if those bosses really were passionate about making the Co-op better / "turning it around" it would be because they 'get' the philosophy of the Co-op and thus would work for less money. Bar stewards. Now, I have savings in a cheque account with them. To which organisation shall I place it instead? I have a Nationwide account but I do believe it's best not to put all one's eggs-money in the same bank-baskets. Advice for true ethical ideas welcome!

Depends where it is. East Dulwich or... er.... Dulwich. :D

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail.... No, no, no, I was working as a waitress in a seafront hotel in Ramsgate and was being paid 20p AN HOUR (this in 1975 or so) and a bottle of Cresta was also 20p. That advert brought it all back, thanks for that Red Devil! After having my purse stolen by a customer I told the manager to stuff their 20p and walked out, and got a job working as a waitress in a cocktail b.... nooooo, in a seafront caf? in Margate. Much better pay! And yes, CHAMPAGNE!!!!!!!! The Cherry Cola. And Cream Soda.

Went to same dept the other day, with different doctor and various attendants, and it was completely different. He was kind and explanatory and showed how well I have been doing and made me feel very positive! It is all down to people being allowed to be personable and kind and intelligent.

They're not axing it, they're putting it online.

I can't be ars e d to continue. Living life. A physio said when I told her about it, that if I was unhappy with the care I could choose to go to another hospital! I do what I can....

Good for you Pam. Were you at the meeting at the Ortus Centre the other evening? I found it a tad questionable. The sort of meeting you feel execs feel they have to have a meeting for the sake of saying they had a public meeting, unnecessary expensive biscuits etc., yet really they are the experts whonhave already made up minds as to the future path.... I still neve had a full reply to my complaint dealing with why l had a discharge letter saying l had had drugs that l did not have!

They really deserve a slap. I did read somewhere that in smaller blocks neighbours could get together and if they found a cheaper company to do a job that the council were happy with they could hire them. Certainly this is the case with the annual gas servicing checks. The guy I found through here is cheaper than what the council's own company charges. Incidentally, we all HAVE to get our gas items checked annually which is right and something I highlighted years ago when we were told we were not entitled to have them done when the company was doing all the tenants' flats. I suggested this was a tad dangerous and irresponsible. So now we all have to get it done. And yet I have never been asked for evidence that I have had this check. So there may be loads out there that save their money.

Please read all other posts in this and other similar threads, gimmies.

Go to the top floors of flats on Rye Hill Estate. Views all around for free. Even the Wembley Arch, and round to canary Wharf with everything in between.

"I've spent most of my life working for myself though and I seem to make a better boss than employee, judging by the loyalty I always get from the people who work for me." That's what they cleverly allow you to think... (Just kidding!) Like the above I am self employed but when I was employed 26 years ago now I found the worst managers were the women, like something out of "Working Girl", I am ashamed to admit. Maybe it is different now!

Yes there was and a link to said suggestion was posted in the other thread about this subject elsewhere on this forum.

I was once told the earth was flat, or maybe it was that I was told that people still Believed that the earth was flat, either way, back to this thread!

Our local councillors for Peckham Rye are all local residents.

Yes, I could but I won't. Yet! Signs all over the place reminding we are in England, telling us DO NOT CLIMB THIS SCULPTURE and DO NOT PHOTOGRAPH THIS PRECIOUS WORK OF ART are NOT to be seen at this amazing beautiful work of art! Yay! Well done artists and thanks to the Councillors who awarded the tiny amount of CGS award that allowed it to be done!

You have to know the details of the 18 month rule. See previous posts.

It's tomorrow good people! 10am 23rd February 2014! I'm going.

After getting mine down from ?2,121 to ?323 (extra charge for major building works), I cited the 18 month rule as previously mentioned at the beginning of this now four-page thread, but never had any apology or explanation as to why 'someone' made a mistake. They've lost a lot of money because of us educating and informing ourselves.

Yet to receive mine but thank you so much for telling us about this.
