WTF??? "Every childrens programme it seems is fronted by an alien to these shores, which is political correctness gone bizarrely wrong."

That's politics and politicians for you. I remember the House of Cards and Ian Richardson's character hiring a statistician played by Kitty Aldridge (Mrs Mark Kernof fler) telling him she could devise a questionnaire for a referendum telling him exactly what he wanted to know or results he wanted to hear.

Many council garages are on estates, and take up relatively small amounts of land; certainly not big enough to build more flats on. It is also pointless to compare the price of garages (which store our vehicles which we need and use every day; and no, public transport is not an option for some folk's working lives) with storage spaces.

Well they won't know, will they!

Re my question about garage rents and Sean's useless reply. Sean I did not ask you. And your comment is very unhelpful and unrealistic. Mr Barber (and Sean): There are many empty garages in the council, because people can't afford the current price let alone a new one, which is why the council are advertising them on our rent statements at the CURRENT price (without telling them of the proposed 50% rise in April, the devious s0ds!). 2 years ago Liberals put the prices up 25% which we thought was bad enough, then last year did not put them up because of the elections. I know it is not the most important concern on people's minds, but I just thought I would ask the councillor's opinion.

hahahahahahhhahahaha Brendan. You tinker!

www.southwark.gov.uk then do a search. The council are advertising them for rent at the prices they are now, cheeky s0ds. You'll need a V5 document (the log book) of the vehicle. Or were you being cheeky too!

Could you explain why Southwark Council are putting up garage rents by fifty percent? I expect many will simply stop renting them. Is that their plan, do you think?

I think they meant ont' pitch. As for electric and ovens, isn't that why we have takeaways and fast food joints so we don't have to worry our little heads with these things?

---- are, apparently, going up FIFTY PERCENT from April. That means they'll be about ?18. A week. Just so's you know.

No, I don't. But you could email and ask them? The consultation period I think is till mid March?

Hope you don't mind Medley but why not start a new thread?

Hi all - the Southwark Transport Plan is a 5.15mb file you may be interested in wading through to see what it has to say about plans in your area. Remember, there is a consultation period and the opportunities to have your say by mid March. All the information can be found via the website link.

" They will also try and solve the root causes" The root causes? Kids just wanna have fun! Still, they're being irresponsible and dangerous to themselves and others, so definitely call the police number above, though doubt the police will catch them.

John Beasley writes history books about East Dulwich and environs. Google him and get an email address. (Not that he has an email address; he lives in the past, too.) Someone else will give him the info that you email him.

Nevertheless that was a great link there lmgtfy.com, pearson! Welcome to the area. You also have great parks, specially Peckham Rye Park and of course nearby or nearby ish you have Dulwich Park Sydenham Woods Crystal Palace Park Nunhead Cemetery and others!

A2 all the way. It's really very easy and quick. Or M2 and junction 5 to Sittingbourne. But M2 is technically more miles, but obviously you can go faster. But the A2 is somehow always prettier. So make your decision. I go through on the way to Thanet many times a year and go both ways, but on a motorcycle not breaking any speeding laws I could get there door to door in about an hour (via M2) to an hour and a half (A2 all the way). Enjoy your journey!

I was a very sick child and one day when I was in bed at about the age of seven, I was very ill and could not breathe well, and I suddenly realised I was looking down on myself, from the ceiling. I floated around the ceiling and felt great because I could breathe, and felt so happy. But then I heard my Nan coming up the stairs with a cup of tea for me and I thought, "I have to get back", and the next thing I knew I was back in my own body and she came in to my room. That'd be an out of body experience, then.

Thanks everyone! Here's two more. I am not sure but I think I posted the first one before on this forum. Taken a few months ago from our flat. The other is from our front garden, I mean Peckham Rye Park!

Healthy Lives, Healthy People, our strategy for Public Health in England. Just got sent this. Thought some in here may be interested.

Aha - I did not see the inside of the Shard. If only! I would LOVE to go up the top of it! You can see the artists impressions that I photographed and that the worker sat next to, which are on the west side wall, access via Stainer Street and the road that leads to Guys Hospital. Thanks for the kind comments!

Thanks GSJ57! Really love doing this. I use a film camera. Then get a CD done when I get them D&Pd!

Hi - I read about this in Radio Times, and I simply could not bring myself to watch the programme. It's dreadful, like those who torture rhinos and tigers for their biles or whatever the sake of Chinese herbal medicines.

Last three. All that history! All those broken necks! Another bloody rainbow. From Stave Hill Rotherhithe. And lastly, the view from our flat. With words. Thanks for looking!

Taking the Thames Clipper for the sheer joy of it from Greenwich to London Bridge. A FABulous image OF the Shard! (From west side, junction Stainer Street and the road that leads from Guy's Hospital) And one of the thousands responsible for building it (he worked on scaffolding and gave me his permission to photo him!)
