  1. I must admit, the fact that it was a 'disco' does imply some sort of inter-dimensional / time travel - if not between ED and Eleysium, then at least between the present day and say, 1976. There was a load of shaving foam sprayed around outside. Prehaps some kind of Gillette / Neutrino cocktail fuels said bendy time bus?
  2. Were you at the Heber 'disco' last night. Clearly not only alcohol being consumed.
  3. It avoiding the dogs.
  4. People are noisilly falling out onto the street p*ssed. Isn't it a primary school?
  5. Pubs are not child friendly. The bar is typically too high for children to comfortably see over and the cigarette machine terribly difficult for little fingers to operate.
  6. Waitrose?
  7. They are open until 2am, 3am on Saturday. In reality however, they can only respond to calls logged before 1/1:30,due to the number of staff available to make site visits. On busy nights they may stop logging calls even earlier.
  8. If it was necessary to cut noise team budget, then how about closing the daytime service rather than the nighttime one? It seems obvious that it is at night that noise disturbances are a greater issue.
  9. Are there any trains that travel through ed without stopping? Maybe there is scope for some additional trains rather than increasing the number serving ed at the expense of other places?
  10. I was told to call them if it was still going on when they reopen at 8.30 tommorrow morning- although presumably there is nothing one can do about loud music during the day?!
  11. There is a massive party going on in the road behind me, which is spilling out into the street. I called the Southwark Noise team and it turns out that they are only open until 3 am, after which they no longer deal with noise issues. In practice this means that any calls logged after 1.30 are very unlikely to be dealt with. They are open during the daytime (from 7.30 most days), but of course they can do little to address noise when it is not keeping people awake, so the daytime service is pretty redundant. Basically, if you want to have an all night party, just ensure that you only really crank it up after 1.30am. @James Barber - any comment?
  12. Is this what you wanted Mr Falkes: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRkEKdsE8eRn8GuhHdT51tu692XcLKI5N4vUhkXAq5yrZWEeu5w
  13. You say that Guy Falkes was a great citizen, but what did he ever do for the chinchillas?
  14. My familly all sleep in the car, engine running... just in case.
  15. If you read through this forum, it is clear that there are a significant number of people with a real resentment, general dislike and intollerance of children. I go to the pubs in the evenings and don't see them full of children. During the day, it's perfectly reasonable for famillies getting something to eat, or maybe having a drink to take their children along. Most of the pubs round here are not traditional old man boozers, they are gastro pubs / cafes. They are set up for famillies and low and behold, they attract famillies. If the pubs were full of toddlers at night that would be a problem, but they are not. If you want an old school boozer, try the CPT or the Castle. The Victorian 'seen and not heard' attitude is pathetic.
  16. This thread is fairly indicative of a wider problem with how children are viewed in our society. Check out this report by Barandos.
  17. Business as usual then. Would be more notable / post worthy if the trains were running at the weekend.
  18. The only way to make those struggling to park outside their houses happy, would be to provide them with an allocated space. Well you don?t own the street outside your house, It is not private property. This is fundamentally the problem with a CPZ- You pay for a permit and then struggle to find a parking spot anyway. It is not going to satisfy anyone. What it will do eventually, is result in everyone having to pay for the privilege of parking their car on the street. As others have pointed out, CPZs once introduced, have a way of expanding until entire areas are covered, which has a negative impact on local businesses.
  19. Just too, too sad and depressing. Something has to be done to tackle our gang problem. But what? I just hope that someone has an answer, because I cannot even begin to comprehend the mentality of these criminals.
  20. Isn't this thread in the wrong section. Just saying. Any more info on the home furnishings store? Are we talking Mrs Robinson style boutiuqiness? Or Dfs?
  21. I for one am delighted to see the back of the bendy buses. They were an absolute menace on narrow london streets.
  22. The one in shepherds bush is called Westfield London.
  23. I wonder how much this little bit of vandalism cost?
  24. Plough lane (the short and very picturesque little alley next to the plough pub has had two 20 miles an hour signs put up at it's entrance. In addition there is a large stark white 20 painted on the road surface itself. Visually it is quite striking for both it's ugliness and absurdity. You couldn't actually accelerate up to 20 using the full length of the road from one end to the other. What is this all about? Is it meant to be some kind of ironic street art?
  25. Southwark council do love a speed bump.
