If shouting at people is a barometer for needing help then half of London should be signed-up. If you've fallen on hard times or are struggling a bit, shouting now and then would be your entitlement surely ?

yes, it would make me buy that property in an instant - at that price you'd be looking to shave off whatever you can.

maybe same guys as on the other thread..

Last night at the junction of CP Rd by the Great Exhibition pub there was a guy on a scooter for best part of an hour zooming through, going around the back roads then back again. U-turns there, stopping, speaking to a guy on foot who kept passing who he obviously knew, I didn't see a crime committed (apart from stupid driving of the moped) but at 0130 you'd want a reason to be driving around like that in a single area for so long. The twat woke me up but missus wouldn't let me go out and talk to him. Winds me right up when I'm tired.

alcohol after pubs close, great for party top-ups at 3am.

Seen a Thames Water van around CP Rd a few mins ago.

Basically the problem seems to be you've not got a quote broken down into man days and materials costs ? If you have that you're better armed to speak with them about it and compare to other quotes in a practical way. I've just stripped, filled, sanded, primed and painted a four-flight of stairs hallway with 3 landings and a long ground floor hall which took 10 days solo, including ceilings and the wooden stairs and floors. No power tools.

someone parks every morning early before I'm up. I only realise when they lock their car and for some reason their car alarm goes off - possibly some kind of fault. Just can't figure which car it is as alarm is only on for a few secs each time - long enough to wake me the feck up. Tomorrow I'm waiting outside for them, if you don't hear from me you know it went bad.

Is this the museum that was in / near the castle entrance ? Two headed piglets preserved in jars, etc ?

Foxy - I read it that the prospect of any bike hanger facility may provide some relief to the 3-bike household, rather than a sense of entitlement of 3 immediate places taking up 50% of the hangar's capacity !

UK will just become increasingly the arse-end of Europe. Which, ironically, will get the Leave voters what they want - because no-one with any sense will want to come here any more.

Jeez I bet that's a nightmare ! (and dangerous)

Yes it's a fine view up there. I love that new building too.

Soooooooooooo yesterday.........

Pootle I'm on same road and have service.

Oh come on !! A quiz ONCE a week in a pub (usually mid-week or a Sunday) is hardly depriving anyone of anything. Best stick to subject on this thread - there's already a general moaning thread.

Live and let live - its down to proprietors what goes on in their cafes anyway.

Foxy - as BJ says there's just a couple of tables at HK. We took food out. BJ - thanks for info.

No accountability is an obvious feature of this charade.

How serendipitious (sp.) then !! I looked at a house a few doors away then checked-out the Alexandra then we thought we'd check out the food at HK as I saw momos on the menu, how's that area (assume you live near) ?

Ended up at this Nepalese place for Momos and pumpkin curry. Cheers

Heading down there later and was wondering if there is something in the same ilk as Everest Curry King in Lewisham or just something a bit different and budget, etc.

I think it's just part of how it goes. Ultimately this isn't eBay so certain safeguards regarding bidding / timewasting are not in place, as they should not be - it being a local forum. Ive had same frustrations in the past and am probably guilty too of 'going cold' / not communicating on occasion.

Fact is, London is done, in so many ways. There's still positives, mainly legacy features, but for years 'progess' has been crushing the prospect of individuality on a wholesale scale.

Can't wait to ""be seen" there, may even buy some food if I'm going to all that effort.
