    In the section of Ulverscroft just behind The Clipper there is the most awful smell of decay...the last time I smelled that I found a dead pigeon in my boarded up fireplace....

    Brexit View

    May came out as a Remainer because she wanted to keep her job under Cameron when it looked like the vote would be Remain. She is trying to keep in with both sides and as Mrs T said if you stand in the middle of the road you get hit by traffic from both sides...unfortunately Mrs May is standing in the middle of a T junction....with the EU bureaucrats making up the third onslaught!
  5. According to the info boards near Friern Road/LL junction it is going on until the 31 November...(is that akin to the 12th of Never?)

If you had actually read what I posted it said...'eating grapes from the display for much longer than a taster...' another word of warning...make sure that any open fruit you buy is well- washed before you eat it...I know for a fact that hepatitis is rife in south london
  7. Yes- I would work part-time if I was on their salary too. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1516095/Blair-defends-rise-that-put-GPs-on-250000-a-year.html- I bet Blair didn't foresee the current scenario- but then politicians are not renowned for being able to see beyond the next election. It matters not one jot how 'good' the GP is if you cannot get your blood/urine/biopsy/faeces diagnostic test done because the lab staff are overworked And it matters not one jot how good your consultant/surgeon etc is if the nurses and the cleaners are not doing their jobs thoroughly either....
  8. I'll put the link again...https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/environment/pollution-and-air-quality/guidance-wood-burning-stoves-london 2nd paragraph about PM2.5 to be precise..... There used to be a massive trailer piled high with logs for sale in the road going up to Bell Green from Forest Hill until very recently, and someone on this forum used to advertise logs for sale....
  9. Hopefully the cops are making use of the uninsured confiscated cars that litter our roads to ram the crims....a new BMW or Mitsubishi or Subaru is very expensive!
  10. Last night was bad....my daughter came in at 10pm and her coat smelled like it did on bonfire night from a metre away! This cannot go on....

I was in Sainsburys Forest Hill about 20 years ago and a woman was eating grapes from the display for much longer than a taster... and she was also feeding her 5ish year old with the grapes... I told the nearest assistant and he went and spoke to her...she then came up to me and started ranting about minding my own business- (how thick can people get)...AND she was teaching her little boy that stealing is ok

I had a parcel recently and it was the same delivery driver that's been coming for at least 10 years Haven't seen any of the original postmen though- and some of them had been delivering to my house for at least 15 years
  13. you should either move in with, or share with a musician....your earworm will change at least 3 times a day!
  14. I saw a couple of people detained in a shopping mall store back room and the cops were there...the staff had left the door open and the 2 people looked very sheepish....maybe they are doing what they did in the 2011 riots and just protecting the department stores....

  16. Wood burning stoves should be fitted with a filter. Even though the fuels could be banned from sale in London you do not have to go far to purchase logs for example People are being trusted to do the right thing and they don't... https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/environment/pollution-and-air-quality/guidance-wood-burning-stoves-london

The f-ing tories eh? https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/aug/05/how-virgin-became-one-of-the-uks-leading-healthcare-providers And as a person who has worked in the NHS fyi EVERY single piece of equipment etc is bought from private companies....the only state VERY subsidised area is teaching the staff- who promptly bugger off

Such a pile of unadulterated BS as usual...you have made this up- as for 'antisemite' that is laughable.... and as for JoeLeg- he asks would I pay more for services when we leave the EU- since MOST of the services provided by cheap labour are unnecessary there is no reason to use ANY of them....and I spent 2 years in a lefty party and 20 years in teaching surrounded by mainly lefties and I KNOW that you are ALL intransigent and therefore I do not waste my time on countering your lying crap.....you think you have the moral highground, and you are permanent virtue signallers....As I've said- you have shut down ANY meaningful discussion by your use of 'racist' 'islamophobe' and such ridiculous extremist language...I would NEVER use my real name in this atmosphere which is as bad- if not worse- than the years I spent amongst the likes of you listening to the rhetoric being trotted out at every meeting- ANYONE with half a brain can talk the talk....

    Tiling

I did that exact job myself- first go at tiling...I did have to invest in a tile cutter- brilliant piece of kit- (and NO I will not lend it out to anyone)....Also, get the plastic edging B and Q are good for this type of stuff
  21. Unfortunately the 'left' have shut down meaningful discussion about anything that is not pro-EU, pro-unlimited immigration etc etc by branding anyone who expresses an opinion or cites TRUE examples of abuses of our systems in the UK, opposite to theirs as 'racist' or 'fascist'....rendelharris and others on here are those types of people, and there are many of them out in the wide world- Mr Chris Beach is very brave indeed to use his real name- I was once threatened by an extreme left-wing teacher (who gave his pupils early release from his lessons so that they could go and spread lefty propaganda to other schools!) just because I had seen through his ridiculous party lines and decided to leave his pathetic organisation....
  22. Maybe it was someone burning stuff instead of dumping it like they usually do especially since there is cctv everywhere to pick up number plates.
  23. I must say that there are more plaster cracks appearing in my walls this year- maybe the very hot dry summer has caused a ground shift?

Oh Gawd...spelling it out...WHEN there are 3 flats in 1 house then the pressure has to be INCREASED to supply mains to every flat.....when we had the bad leak about 10 years ago and there were bowsers on every corner for over a week just after the schools went back in September the TW operative was measuring the height of the water as it came out of the main...he said they could not let it through until it was a particular height. AND since we are in a hilly area-the water has to be pumped at particularly high pressure....pipes burst
  25. dbboy Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Hope this helps > > COUNCILLORS - YOU NEED TO GET ONTO THIS, LIKE > NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW It is WELL within the councillors' POWER to do something- after all every house that is turned into flats, every spare inch of ground that is now sporting a block of rabbit hutch dwellings ALL have to have planning permission from -yes-you've guessed it- a council employee. So it would follow that the Councillors would be able to STOP the ridiculous planning applications being 'waved' through...until the INFRASTRUCTURE is up to it...next it will be the houses around ED station when they supply the flats there- then it will be the area around Sylvester road after the post office development.....still Southwark council do not give a fig because TW is privatised and they will happily denigrate a private enterprise
