Light nuisance can be dealt with by council rules....

Are you for real?

I went past there on Thursday and there appeared to be metal panels fixed over the spot

Unfortunately, whilst the Council rubber stamps the conversion of average sized family homes into 2 or 3 flats and every bit of spare ground is allowed to sprout a block of flats then of course the amount of traffic will increase- population increase = vehicle increase....simples...but then...

I think it is about time this was addressed. Within the North and South circular roads there is a rush hour level of traffic ALL DAY and most of it is the unemployed driving around in their old cars. How someone who is unemployed either needs or can afford a car is beyond me so the more of them that are forced off the road the better- although I doubt very much if they will be as some of these so-called 'unemployed' will be able to afford the extra tax if they can afford to run a car on benefits- AND many of them get a reduced-cost Oyster travel card as well

LMFAO

I am aiming to eat it by the end of next week. I got some brandy cream from Sainsburys reduced from ?3.25 to 0.97p but it expires on the 9th Jan...although in my experience these things last a good 5 days after the sell by

I haven't ate my xmas pud yet!

Yes but after the result the doom-mongering and personal insults from the Remainers blew all that out of the water- and the EU politicians were a complete joke as they threw their toys out of the pram on a daily basis and showed themselves up, at last, for the total charlatans they really are

So Blah Blah thinks people were 'conned' into voting Brexit- Yet again the Remoaners are painting the Leavers as unable to make up their own minds. It is obvious that people voted according to their own experiences and what they see going on in their own backyards because everyone was bombarded with so much conflicting rubbish and lies from both sides that that was the only thing they could do. It explains why, in the North, that although people voted Brexit they also voted Labour in the election.....although Corbyn et al were anti-EU because the EU are anti-Democracy...(that fence must be firmly wedged up his jacksy now judging by what he came out with recently!)

The Last Kingdom books by Bernard Cornwell are very good as they represent the goings on during the time of Alfred the 'Great'.

A friend of mine had a rabbit and a guinea pig in her garden and the children got up one morning to find the little creatures torn to shreds. Yes, the children can learn a lot! Poor little things are timid anyway- please don't

I assume you therefore know of 'Google' and then of course there are many news sources that come up when one 'Googles' a phrase- and then one picks a likely looking article from the Google results... Since I cannot be bothered to 'apologise' for using the online DM I ALWAYS expect one of you usual suspects to have a pop....funny how, unlike your fave the Guardian, the DM does not have a begging box on its online page....

There is light at the end of the tunnel (literally) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3394807/Light-bulbs-banned-EU-make-comeback-breakthrough-means-use-energy.html

Obviously the bloke has not gone his job properly http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/35028556/my-job-is-telling-people-from-eastern-europe-not-to-eat-carp-from-uk-rivers

Anyone can opt out of the working time directive- we never signed up to a wholesale 35 hour week like the French did (which probably explains why many French workers moved here) Our rules are a 48 hour week maximum- averaged over 17 weeks.

Here we go again the politics of envy- ALL politicians are self-serving - although Mr Farage made good before he went into politics...Mr Farage is to be commended for actually speaking the TRUTH about what is going on and even your precious Remaniac MPs were rebuked for threats made to other MPs...but then after reading all the libtard rants on here it does not surprise me. When you have got your heads out of Corbyn's backside you too may listen and find out what is REALLY going on.

I thought chickens were being kept in urban gardens these days...put them on gumtree or somewhere

Oh dear- Mr D Whitely should find something better to occupy his time with- although if that is his photo then he obviously HASN'T got anything better to occupy his time with!

I went to uni with someone who used a puffer- he said he gave him 'an edge'- I expect a broncho-dilator would definitely give an athlete 'an edge'...but then if they are ALL using them. It's like that stimulant drug Modafinil- supposed to be only available on prescription for narcolepsy and other things. It is reported that the whole office of the Australian treasury took it so that they could get their budget done on time.....Who else is using it and getting an 'edge' and making their colleagues look less than efficient?

I sometimes watch Police Interceptors which is about traffic cops in Essex and Lincolnshire and they frequently pick up uninsured drivers, banned drivers, drunk drivers and I daresay there will be plenty of those types passing through Tulse Hill. There seems to be a lot of use of ANPR in the programme, flagging up cars linked to drugs, no insurance etc Lorries that have no MOT get massive fines and she was hit by 2 of them and 2 cars on a pedestrian crossing at 06.48 on Monday. Surely there must be CCTV cameras around there- it's a joke these days on the roads. It reminded me of the incident when someone collapsed on the tube platform and people just walked over the person....

India which carries out nuclear testing, has its own space programme as does China which receives foreign aid-http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/07/british-taxpayers-money-spend-improving-social-care-elderly/ - when we have our own crisis in the UK Not to mention the fact that much donated money is 'disappeared' by corrupt people...as is the case in Eastern Europe with EU money....
