  1. If only it was genuinely live....like full orchestras...something to set it apart???
  2. No recourse to law with regard to right to light... as Southwark are the freeholder therefore Southwark v Southwark. You're stuffed. K.
  3. Do check if there is any greenspace on the estate you're considering as this will undoubtedly have been ear marked for new build and not always social housing... K.
  4. Two reasons for lack of response... ...dont want to tell tails because hope the hell they can sell. ...utter nightmare don't go there. K.
  5. I'm wondering if 'Southwark leaseholders' need a thread of their own...? Or does it exist already? I understand that CAB Southwark have been paid to to take this task on but where is the coherence? Southwark Leaseholders are being fleeced to pay for major works /cladding (under 18m rule is a slap in the face ) /district heating then asked to cope with infill new build regardless of loss of amenity - there are a lot of issues to consider. Southwark v Southwark. Thoughts please?
  6. Any local geologists amatuer or otherwise can explain the link or proximity to gas/shale oil and aquifers like the source of the river Peck? Been a lot of deep bore excavations recently...by The Gardens, Rye Hill Park etc. Am I sitting on a gold mine and do I need to extend my lease to 990 years (should the govt legislate for leasehold reform)?. K. :).

    Forum decorum

    FFS... Front-door Force-field Seclusion K.
  8. Most surreal experience I had in SF was going to a gospel church early on a Sunday morning and thinking I'd landed in a James Brown concert...amazing way to start the day. (Not a regular church goer - given headsup by a musician friend). K.
  9. Likewise in Peckham Rye.... the River Peck was diverted and re-established through the park but unfortunately they over looked the flow on the side of Harris Boys school which has always flooded in my time here ( 30 yrs). Even in summer you can hear it flow through the culverts. K.
  10. Im surrounded by it. Location bus parked outside Rye Hill Park TRA hall with towed (poss. 100kva?) generator running all day and nobody using it as the TRA Hall seems to have been commandeered by said crew. I hope the TRA are getting a hefty reward for venue. Most recently it's been accessed by most vulnerable as a foodbank. I will guess that any renumeration is unlikely to be funding free wifi or laptops but think it's likely it will disappear into a mysterious council fund and never be accounted for again. Seemed incredibly busy over the weekend on this side of the common (apart from people accessing the foodbank). Brings to mind something Andy Warhol said about fame but now needs a Covid adjunct that it only takes 15 minutes of loitering to catch the variant... PS: Behind our block there is one guy sitting in a portacabin with what sounds like a 3000kva generator running 8.00am till 3.00pm for a laptop. I could've run him a plug out. :-). He Ho...
  11. You can search gov website for flood risk... Looks like one end of Bassano has a high risk from surface water run off. https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/long-term-flood-risk/map?easting=533671&northing=174850&map=SurfaceWater
  12. Just sayin? https://fb.watch/2UKXQX9le2/ Turn the sound up... oh.. and stop after Nicola... You can guess I'm geeing you guys up for the inevitable... K.
  13. Highshore still accept stamps for 'charity' purposes of old envelopes. I tear my stamps and keep them drop them into Highshore Road. Happy to accept even if there's a queue...just go up to top of queue and hand my torn off stamps in. Is this just me? K.
  14. Apologies if this causes offence.... FIRST BELLY LAUGH OF THE YEAR ...,Nicola Sturgeon is touring Perthshire in the First Minister?s chauffeur driven car. Suddenly a cow jumps out into the road. They hit it full on and the car comes to a stop. Nicola in her usual jaunty manner, says to the chauffeur : " You get out and check - you were driving." The chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead. " You were driving, go and tell the farmer," says Nicola, I can't afford to be blamed for anything. The chauffeur walks up the drive to the farmhouse and returns five hours later totally plastered, his hair ruffled and with a big grin on his face. " My God, what happened to you ?" asks Nicola. The chauffeur replies : " When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of malt whisky, the wife gave me a slap up meal and the daughter made love to me." " What on earth did you say?" asks Nicola. ?I knocked on the door and when it was answered, I said to them, I'm Nicola Sturgeon's chauffeur and I've just killed the cow." K.
  15. As I understand he's booked a flight to Scotland on the 19th. https://www.sundaypost.com/fp/donald-trump-could-be-planning-turnberry-trip-as-scots-airport-told-to-expect-a-high-flyer-the-day-before-joe-bidens-inauguration/ But whose to believe the Sunday Post - Except for Oor Willie? K.
