  1. The meeting in November was organised by the Dulwich Society. Here is a link to their report on the meeting http://dulwichsociety.com/news/1566-the-future-of-the-grove-tavern
  2. ?There are environmental concern since they would be building over historic land.? Would you be able to expand upon this? I?ve looked at old OS maps and can see nothing of historical interest. (Isn?t all land historic?)
  3. I don?t understand why there is a crowdfunding appeal to mount a legal challenge. ?An Equality and Human Rights Commission spokeswoman described the sign as discriminatory and unlawful, and said it would be writing to the fishery to advise it to take it down.? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-42412384
  4. I?m on Infinity 1. They sent an email a month or so ago to say they were boosting the speeds (don?t know why) and now get 73 download, just under 19 upload but still on Infinity 1.

    Nigel Farage

    He was also a Useful Idiot when Trump was seeking election. Once elected, despite his expectations/aspirations, Farage was dumped.

    Brilliant twitter thread here
  8. I think you?ll find that all cleaning companies would say the quality of their clean is important.
  9. Very true, there are no time restrictions on a Saturday for any of the services. If indeed you were travelling to Bedford on a Saturday, your Freedom Pass would have operated the automatic gates at any time.
  10. The poster who complained they were prevented from getting through to the platforms was trying to get to Bedford, not part of the London Overground. As I said before, I?ve never had a problem gaining access before 9.30 to catch the London Overground using my Freedom Pass. I don?t disagree about TfL taking over the running of the station though.

From Denmark Hill, you can only use trains on London Overground, the ginger line, without paying before 9.30 am. I?ve never had any problem with being given access to the overground platforms before 9.30 by showing my pass to the station staff and explaining I wanted to catch the overground.
  12. Recently released statistics from the Office of Road and Rail http://orr.gov.uk/statistics/popular-statistics#station-usage show Denmark Hill to be the 68th busiest station in the UK out of a total of some 2,500 stations. Passenger numbers have doubled since 2010 which must have been when the ?improved? station works were planned. This is a screen shot of statistics relating to Denmark Hill.
  13. I?ve always thought ?lead us not into temptation? was the same as ?keep us from succumbing to temptation?.
  14. It?s a Roku stick but you need an HDMI connection on your tv. There?s also the Google Chromecast but because there?s a row going on between Google and Amazon you?ll be unable to get Amazon on that device.
  15. DL - if you want to move away from ED then do so, you don?t need to win an argument about it or need the Forum?s permission. ?Goddamn it Hotlips, resign your commission?
  16. It?s all new to me as well! Yes, you can cancel at any time but be careful you keep clicking through until it says your subscription is cancelled because one of them, I can?t remember which, keeps showing windows which say ?Are you sure you want to cancel? which you have to respond to before they?ll let you cancel. I think some movies and music is included free on Amazon Prime but for unlimited music you have to take out a further subscription. I have a device that I plug into my non smart tv which turns it into a smart tv which means I can access iPlayer and the other catch up services meaning recording programmes has become a thing of the past. Takes a bit of getting used to but don?t think I could go back to recording programmes much as I loved my Humax PVR (which finally died on me).
  17. I had the month?s free trial of Amazon but cancelled before the paid subscription kicked in. It kept me entertained for the month but didn?t feel there was sufficient of interest to become a regular customer. I might though take a month?s subscription some time in the future when they?ve got new programming. I?ve also had monthly subscriptions for Now-tv and Netflix, neither of which had sufficient to offer for me to keep up a regular subscription. So I just tend to flit from one to another, varying which one I have a month?s subscription for. At the moment it?s Netflix because the second season of The Crown is just about to be released.
  18. ?Mind you, it's good to see Ealing getting another 2 stations with Crossrail - I think that'll bring them into double figures.? That?s to make it easier to escape from Ealing.

Let?s hope this target figure is more than exceeded to help Pecan?s work in the New Year.
  20. Deleted as perhaps my experience is not representative.
  21. It?s rude to shout (unless you?re Brian Blessed)
  22. Thameslink trains call at Denmark Hill before going on to Peckham Rye, Nunhead, Crofton Park etc (and vice versa)
  23. ...
  24. Thanks, my computer went on strike when I tried it before!
  25. Many parks become outlets for selling Christmas trees this time of year, Battersea and Richmond are just two that come to mind. I wouldn?t say it?s inappropriate, there are usually already loads of trees in a park though not for sale of course.
