Highly recommend as someone else already has www.bedbugs.co.uk I have seen them at work and he's been on the telly a few times. David someone.

I totally agree with you. This is awful. I never use cards if I can avoid it. I always love using cash. Often, shops like it too. But you're right, many people don't have a choice. (Some of my clients still pay me by cheque!) Having said that, some people can't afford the sort of prices in many such establishments anyway. Certainly won't be going back to this cafe till they re-instate the use of cash. And they shall survive.

Ooooh let's all jump up and down on the rubber tubes. "Just for fun. For a laugh. Ha ha ha."

The Nunhead and Peckham Rye SNT also have meetings and they said they would advertise a bit more their meetings on the What's On section. We really all should try and attend Safer NeighbourHood Team Meetings because it benefits all of us and we are the people they need feedback from. I was sad to see no SNT police stand at the Fete though, just six grumpy silent police from the roads and highways team, I believe, trying really hard not to engage with or be engaged by anyone at all.

Hi, I have only just seen this post, so I hope my experience can still offer some help. My thoughts and suggestions (to you and/or anyone else reading this): 1) ALWAYS do it / them well in advance. 2) I had LPAs for Health and Welfare, and Finance, completed for each of my parents, done through SAGA. I would NOT recommend doing it through SAGA. Their solicitors were dreadfully incompetent, ridiculous expensive, and the solicitors' assistants made so many errors that I, as a former proof reader, felt very angry about. My parents paid for all of this. 3) I would suggest that as soon as they have been completed, and registered, you go to every bank / financial institution that is relevant to the person/s for whom you are acting, WITH them if possible, whilst they are able to accompany you, so that you can show the manager your forms and they can register this LPA and your right to act IN ADVANCE at each organisation. 4) NEVER use SAGA (did I say that already?!) 5) When both parents sadly got to the point of suffering dementia, the LPA was really helpful for me to organise their payments for things, and buy the things they needed with their money. And I was also listened to more seriously with the LPA for Health and Welfare matters, although I believe The State still has the final say in some issues. 5) There is also a form you can get from the social services which allows you to be the recognised responsible person to deal with on behalf of someone else who is under the care of social services. I seem to remember it is a form called something like BF57. That's also worth having. I plan to get LPAs done for my husband and I to act for one another. I am just going to copy type directly from the ones I had for my parents and see how that goes! I won't be able to get to the advice session mentioned above, but there is a lot of advice on line about it. Best wishes!

Never heard of lawn rust. Can't believe it is the first time this has happened in 36 years of living across the road from the park, and as someone who suffers fungal issues in the lungs, YIKES! Never noticed it before though!

1) a general hint: Never use the windscreen wipers when someone has thrown eggs on your windscreen. It will make things worse. 2) when I read the title I thought maybe they had actually thrown the well known Motorcycle cleaner GUNK on your car, in which case it would have been a hint to clean your dirty car, but this was not the case so I am sorry this happened.

OK I just saw the answer to my question in the other thread.

And me. And it was not about the money, it is helping to contribute towards knowledge and information about how our brains work and to be part of a "control group". Always useful to try and help. The money was a bonus. She is a very intelligent kind patient person.

I think theft is wrong. However, in these days with sanctioned benefits and dying people being declared fit for work, theft is inevitable and it is the only way some people can survive. However, this was a group of young men, so it was malicious. How can this be stopped? People who want to be parents have to go to parenting classes and remain responsible for their kids. However, those same people may not be capable, or suffering depression, or any number of issues. There's never any easy answer. But theft is still wrong. HOLY CR@P am I writing on the correct thread still? All you children who are arguing about the pros and cons of the forum should take it to the ABOUT THE FORUM section.

Oh come on, PLEASE try harder than that to sound passive aggressive. "Can't believe no ones got the answer to this very simple puzzle"

What's the singular of Genuis? Or is Genui plural? in which case the superfluous 's' is worth minus 2.

I can spell "Genius".

You're welcome! I get a weekly and daily email alert to things happening in London, from TheLondonist and IanVisits.

Yeah I saw you in your Shard apartment thinking no-one was watching.....

Thanks folks!

Grander scale with Shard on right. Never did work out how to put the photo in the picture instead of the link!

Hi all, hope you like these. Taken from my 3rd floor balcony yesterday (flypast) and today very early (balloons over London). They set off from Battersea Park, though there were so many we couldn't figure out how there would have been room for all of them! Another photo follows this.

Which begs the questions: 1) Were you speeding 2) Did you go on the red light? Either way Appeal and show them the photo from the location. Let us know what happens.

According to the signpost as you come south from Peckham, after taking the left fork where the 343/78/P12s go, and Peckham Rye Park is in front of you at the lights, where you can turn left for Nunhead and Right (where the 37 goes) for East Dulwich - according to the signpost there IS NO road straight ahead (to Brockley/Honor Oak Crematorium). Only left or right. However, I can not quite make out where the OP was describing. Certainly it is badly signposted around all those junctions, but clearly signposted that when travelling south towards Peckham Rye where you've taken the right fork (where the 63/363/12/197 go) that you can only go straight ahead towards Forest Hill Road, and not left or right.

Humdinger that was outrageous. She works in a shop. Doing her best to survive in the big city. Stop lumping all ED / SE22 people as all the same. They are all different trying to make a difference and get on with their lives. As for me, well personally I am delighted the 343 will be extended to Aldgate, but I don't need it for work and am sorry that so many of you are being disadvantaged as you try to get to work and that it is going to be that bit harder. The other day I was being taken to a job from the airport in a limo (long story - wasn't even for a funeral! - and the limo driver said he is actually a paramedic and does the limo driving work to top up his pay, as he wants to try and remain in central London as long as he can. Life's not easy for so many people. You don't know their struggles. They don't need your anger.

Is theft still a crime? Why are we all so upset that this woman told us about it? I don't care that she did so in a way that may have upset you all. She recorded it and doubtlessly told the police and showed them. And yes, MLE is a 'thing'.

PLEASE PLEASE try and attend local safer neighbourhood teams at which your local police will attend. Then discover what they DO do. Who they DO catch. And tell them of your concerns. Seriously, they are trying hard and their budgets are cut. Google Met Police SNT and find the details of your local SNT meetings. They happen every two months or so.

I read it and I wear hard gas permeable lenses. I keep mine very clean and they last a year or more. Yes I get my eyes checked regularly and have done this since 1978!

I must be really lucky here. My friends love my husband and his friends love me. And I would not DREAM of telling him who or when he could see and he wouldn't dare tell me either. But a great example of how our friendships have worked is as follows. I recommended a Humanist Wedding Celebrant to my husband's friend for his son's marriage in Wales. Me and hubby were unable to go. Two days after, husband's friend calls and I answer, and he tells me how beautiful the wedding was, and this man cries down the phone at me with happy tears. Cries. I pass the call on to husband who has not heard any of my side of the conversation. I hear my husband saying, "So how was it? ... Oh that's great! .... Oh really? ... well done ... 1950s? I didn't think there were any of those around! I had one of those. Yeah sold it a few years ago. What size engine? No, the two stroke....." Bikes. That's all he and his mate talk about. His mate cries down the phone at me and after a few words to husband they're talking motorcycles. Cracks me up. To answer the opening poster, if you want to keep your mates, then keep your mates! If she doesn't like them that's one thing, but to make you stop seeing them? Buh Bye!
