I do understand that a incense is required! To apply for one however you need to detail your operation and that's where the lack of experience stumps me a little.

Hi, I am thinking to start distilling spirits at home. Before investing in equipment I would be keen to talk with someone who has experience, so that I don't walk in blind. If anyone distills alcohol at home and is open to being asked some questions that would be very helpful, thanks.

MCMC what is completely out of control in SE22? Burglaries? The police told you this? Are the burglaries because of what? Inadequate locks?

We have an olive orchard in the south west of France that produces organic olive oil. If you are interested please PM. ?12 for 500ml.

I might have missed some detail so cut me slack but calls are given codes for prioritizing I don't think there's anything so odd or unprofessional about that. If it's a "101" call i.e. the crime is "over" then what's happened becomes part of a "bigger" picture so that other steps can be planned or something about what happened to you might solve a larger problem and lead to a larger resolution. Or if your home is marked with smart water/ met trace (which is where Southwark hopes to go) then fenced items will get your goods back and crooks caught. 101 if a burglary is OVER and the job for the police is taking details in which case they aren't going to arrive immediately but schedule a visit. Tell them if your stuff is marked so that details can go to repos for stolen goods 999 is you see them running off etc and make it clear to the responder if the burglars are still there or not

James Barber Southwark has to move to distribute marking kits across the borough I was at a MOPAC event Thursday the 10th and spoke about smart water with police lieutenant Walthamstow and it is very clear that everyone needs to have everything of value marked with smart water/ met trace same thing and then DISPLAY in window. When nicked stuff gets collected by police if it has this tracer mark it is CONFISCATED no matter what. Without the mark it can be given back to the crooks if there is any doubt in the minds of the police. Bad guys will avoid property that they think might be marked There must be a way to mark and display you've marked metal you have outside like fencing

It would be very helpful if posters could say HOW the break-in occurred. All break-ins are criminal, most are opportunistic that is quick and easy: doors and windows not closed properly. Always report the details to the police : 101 Always go to your Ward Meeting, the next one for East Dulwich is Weds February 3rd, from 6.30-8.30pm Christ Church Please say how the bad guys got in so thinking can happen as to how to stop them getting in. Start a Neighbourhood Watch on your street. I'll give you a starter pack if you PM me.

bolt doors and windows when you go out

Why not be first? Why shouldn't Southwark be the first to turn a cemetery into a breathing green lung for a planet which is in crisis. We have to stop cutting down mature trees in parkland. 200 year old trees take pause 200 years to regrow What we are trying to do in Southwark is so cutting edge the world has to be searched for precedence. Here is a tiny sample: Imagine http://www.herlandforest.org http://www.pennforestcemetery.com/tag/spiritual-transition/ http://www.beatree.com/2009/05/sustainable-cemetery-management.html http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/one-day-green-cemeteries-will-use-corpses-help-trees-grow

The HSBC 66 Lordship Lane will close on the 16th Jan 2016: FYI. I for one am very sorry.

What if we swept our own leaves and had a chat with neighbours at the same time?

A really civilised conversation. How was the AGM?

You are absolutely correct Penguin68

Please report for all the reasons above. Please!

Really great post dds29. Thanks. I'm there as well.

You may all want to go and buy the November National Geographic. It's all about trees and Climate Change. And then we can all have a collective think about priorities for the very last pieces of open space cities have. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/climate-change/special-issue/ I imagine well over half of you have children. As I do. If we don't act our children are ****ed. The choice in this thread is to gaze into the branches of a tree and remember how much you loved someone or to look at a hole in the ground surrounded by cement and think how much it cost and how the clocks ticking on your right to use the space before those bones are chucked out, the plastic geegaws shoveled away and the barren ground sprayed for weeds

Open Space left for common land and cemetery space in the 1800's was land that flooded and was useless otherwise. Camberwell Old Cemetery floods in part. It is not allowed to bury in standing water. Graves have recently been dug and filled immediately with water. I cannot imagine what edhistory might find funny about this. There is run off from Honour Oak and high points south of the cemetery and this is being handled by creaking to capacity Victoria conduits and the entire area is being monitored by Thames Water. As to graveyards more generally as we enter a time of worldwide recognition of catastrophic climate change. Yes, Catastrophic. Climate. Change. The only things that are guaranteed safe guards to global warming and scrubbing carbon in the atmosphere are trees huge mature trees. Trees scrub the air. Trees scrub the water. Trees produce oxygen. What's not to like about an enormous tree? The consultation conversations of 2011 are 4 full years ago, they are flawed. 4 years as land becomes scarcer and trees are rarer and London has been declared one of the dirtiest cities in Europe. 4 years is a long time, people's attitudes have changed: tree burials, cremation with huge pageantry short of burial. Southwark Council is not taking best scientific consultation into consideration when it is now proceeding to bulldoze and truck thousands of loads of earth out of COC. Whatever pollution and contaminates there are in this soil despicable as fly tipping and ignorant disposals are these contaminates can be capped with clay and trees, yes, trees can be planted on top and in 50 years, 100 years, maybe even 1000 years from now the tree will have provided the earth with every imaginable restorative benefit including disposing of the poison humans put in the soil. Every single choice Southwark Council has insisted on making is the highest cost non solution today and forever into the future. There is nothing cost effective about the burials or rotating graves with bodies in and bones chucked out for more bodies. The trucking of soil is nonsensical. The culling of foliage and trees is surreptitious at worst and ignorant of catastrophic climate change and it's impact within the lifetime of our children. Very few people chose burial any more and some of those who think they want it quickly change their minds when they realise the options now available. Dug revolving graves are being hyped in religious groups egged on by the need to manipulate the living by refusing to discuss respect for the dead in ways that are compatible with catastrophic climate change. COC and CNC could be glorious areas of dense trees with memorials and ash and tree burials and memory benches and ceremonies that don't end with holes and cement and fake flowers

well, Save Southwark Woods. Literally. And the oxygen trees produce for everyone http://www.savesouthwarkwoods.org.uk/benefit-gig/4590824600 please buy a ticket and please come to our event on Sunday at 19:30 at the Ivy House Space and trees won't have any value until they are cemented over and all chopped down. Then we can sell oxygen canisters

A lot of the trees planted up and down the streets some years (10 or more) back are edible as jellies and jams and chutneys. North Cross at Lordship Lane is an example: looks like tiny pears, cook them with sugar and enjoy. Everywhere tiny "apples" the same. Right now there's fruit everywhere that will rot over the next month and then the street cleaners will complain and eventually when people look elsewhere it will all be chopped down.

If I could respond to "personal alarm". What you are talking about is something called MetTrace which tags all the goods in your home you don't want to lose to a burglar. There was a confusion that has nothing at all to do with James who is an excellent councillor. MetTrace will be rolled out and the clue is in the name "Met". It has to do with the police. Unless you are in fact talking about an alarm you have on your body for personal protection due to circumstance? In which case my bad and I'm sure social services have just made a scheduling mistake! Call them again!

You do not need to stand at a reused hole in the ground to remember . Throw ashes into the wind. Plant a tree, they live for hundreds of years and have babies. Because land in a field in 1850 was called a cemetery we have a miracle gift from the past exactly when we need it: a place to leave wild and let a seed bed from the ancient past regenerate

And yes this bit of land that happens to be where the 63 turns around and another bit to the east where an old lady in perpetual mourning for a husband who died young might have have once had a picnic, these two bits together 98 acres hence a "hundred acre wood" in a part of a sprawling metropolitan polluted mega city where this forum rants and raves about minutia (and I love it! get loads of up-to-date information and good ideas here!) this "southwark woods" does have a seed bank which links the past and the present if it was allowed to germinate and it has heritage trees which all the new committees and wise academicians have come and measured and pontificated about. This left over undeveloped land suddenly in the public eye as we watch a power game played out with us tricked and played as idiot pawns in a game that ultimately funded by us with profits and rewards in jobs to the politicians when they award unnecessary work to the contractors. When you inhale you are inhaling bits of just about everyone and everything that ever lived. That is a fact not a metaphor. There is no reason at all you need cement and plastic flowers to mourn your dead. Save this left over land from commercial exploitation and development because the traditional 1890 cemetery is just another built cement development. Declare it a nature reserve and a green lung forever. Horses with plumes can drag memory hearses with songs and celebration. Stone masons can carve plaques to make memory walls. No one will be out of a job if we make a woodland park out of this land. We are being conned by politicians who don't build safe streets, who drill unnecessary tunnels with public money for private profit water companies where they then get jobs, who sell public land for nothing and then, yes again, take jobs and pensions from those lucky development firms. Politicians who cannot get housing right.. It does all seem to trundle along day to day and year to year until I guess one year the wheels will just come off and the whole show will stop. Probably not in our lifetimes. Our children? theirs? So save this bit of left over abused land and go and sit in a dense green canopy

The issues undertaken by SSW are not the ones used to distort and manipulate public opinion. The issue(s) is global warming and over population and poor governance and all the attendant problems there of. Global Warming Fact Loss of open wild space Fact Loss of trees Fact Over population in how the bio diversity of the world is affected with attendant mass farming etc ad nausium Fact Read the Guardian today: destruction of the Seas these are Facts "Southwark Woods"? Cemeteries are land presents from the past to the future. It is insane to put every separate person into a rectangle of cement in an oak coffin so that maybe someone can "mourn" for a few years and then forget and that is what always. Always happens and the cement and dead earth and dead oak tree in the ground remain. Cemeteries as we have used them for a millisecond in human history are insane. Mourn in a wood a remembrance wood. Bury under a tree. Buy a bench for people to sit on.
