  1. Do you Vodafone users / sufferers have problems all over ED or is it very local to and inside your homes? Thinking of joining them and just wondered. I'm near the clockhouse...
  2. Literally driving back to ED from Edinburgh as I type! My suggestion is M40, M42, M6. The M6 turns into the A74m, then turn off this onto the A702, which is honestly one of the most stunning and scenic roads I have driven. It's a bloody long way!
  3. Another example of the inept Thames Water not reinvesting their vast profits back into the infrastructure. Look forward to your inflation busting price hike next year everyone!
  4. Excellent post Joseph Holly. Since becoming a dog owner 6 months ago and a regular walker in Peckham Rye Park, I've been pleasantly surprised by meeting all the fellow dog walkers and by how responsible and friendly they are. I've never witnessed an incident and the overall experience has really enhanced my enjoyment of the community as a whole. Nothing to see here Southwark Council - move along.
  5. Really enjoyed that, thanks!
  6. Aside from any potential conflict of interest, I thought the best time of year to pollard was winter...

  8. Might be worth checking out tonight's Watchdog on iplayer, BBC1. There was a whole feature on Orange customers who could no longer get reception and were able to leave their contracts. (eventually) Should be up later.
  9. It was never about point scoring Deliah, it was about exposing the hypocrisy of a self proclaimed Eco warrior. Surely even a lawyer can work out that I will consume less in my finite life time than you and your ever expanding lineage and progeny who's consumption will increase exponentially. And as for your ?54 pound gas bill, well that's just cheating because everyone knows that grannies get a heating allowance ;-) No further questions m'Lud.
  10. "Sorry to be a tw@t, but I feel I was left with no choice on the matter!" One always has a choice...
  11. Hi LadyD, thanks for your responses. Firstly, apologies for my rather unnecessary and provocative post. Let's not let this descend into an argumentum ad hominem... I'm not talking about large families who live in Ethiopia, I'm talking about large families who live in London. I appreciate you must live in an environmentally conscious way and that's obviously to your credit, however your legacy will still leave a larger carbon footprint than mine by virtue of the fact that you are a grandmother and I don't have kids, even though I drive a (second hand) car. Do any of your kids have cars? Catch flights abroad? Will your grandkids drive? Will their kids? etc. The point is, no one would deny you the happiness and pride that your family must bring you. Similarly, I believe it would be wrong to deny people their independance and livelihoods through banning car ownership in London. I look forward to the weekends when I can jump in my car, drive to the countryside and visit my friends, family and relatives. On top of that, I simply couldn't do my chosen profession without my car.
  12. FFS don't start LadyDeliah off again...

London Being an "uncompromising, revolutionary, eco-warrior, wannabe farmer, kick-ass immigration lawyer, mother and grandmother" I'm sure you're only too aware of the environmental impact of having kids, who have kids, who have kids etc. It actually leaves a far higher carbon footprint and is more unsustainable than people who drive cars who don't have kids, people like me for instance. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/sep/27/not-have-children-environmental-reasons (one of many links I could have put in) However, how many people on here would try and spout a load of "one size fits all" bile, preaching that people shouldn't have kids? Not many I suspect. Keep your borderline fascist views to yourself. You will always have a bigger carbon footprint than me. Eco warrior.
  14. Well I'm afraid DJKQ, that's just too bad. You should pay 3 times the cost on a lousy ticket that's not guaranteed to get you on location on time. To do otherwise is selfishly risking people's lives. Well done for sticking up for the self employed on here. I too work as a freelancer in TV and film and a car, van, whatever is a must. End of. Kind of seems stupid to actually even have to type that ffs. And LadyD I checked you out on Twitter, and sorry love, it's not you - it's me. Not gonna work out.
  15. LadyD: > > There is no need for individual car ownership in > London unless you are disabled. > > I see no good reason to continue to support the > right to individual car ownership over everyone > elses' rights, health and safety. Congratulations - this is undoubtedly the biggest load of utter cockwobble I've ever read on the EDF. It really does take the biscuit. With gems like this, I'm going to have to start following you on twitter...

  17. This area's going down hill. I might move to a gated community.

Wise words! Agreed, just ignore the troll. I would consider appealing though based on the other comments.

  20. Some people are just unhinged.
  21. Rahrahrah et al, please stop hijacking this thread with inconsequential rambling. The OP is warning the public about the 2 thugs in question and requesting witnesses to come forward. There could be important pieces of information in this bloated thread which could now get lost because people frankly can't be arsed to trawl through 4 pages of off topic BS.
  22. And how could I forget... Game of Thrones
