Do running apps survive a reload - I'd kill them all manually My iphone5 went downhill when I used 'non apple certified' charging cables mind Always use the proper ones now.

I prefer IOS to freedom (if you get my meaning)

My iphone tracker is almost always accurate to a building Maybe it depends on settings / if GPS is active etc. If there is inaccuracy it's meant to show an circle of accuracy.

Victoria is quieter these days I've noticed - maybe more choice and soon to be more. Even the Montpellier is slightly less rammed. Also noticed a sort of staggering of last orders recently and managed a final pint in the four quarters after closing at both the above.

And work seems to be underway at the 'John the Unicorn' in Rye Lane.

The child who is 'made to > share' is not sharing, she is complying. Somehow reminds me of junior school football where everyone just chases the ball - no positions, no tactics and certainly no passing :)

I remember treating older people (who happened to be walking on the pavement) terribly as a child on a skateboard, roller skates, go cart) We got it if they complained to mum and dad though :) Children don't realise that you lose flexibility as you age. They think your're just like them, but older.

bring on autumn :)

I hope it's not because she is a bit Futurama Welshie It's too easy to laugh at the intensity/excitability/passion sometimes but it is a trait sorry to say and it's so nice that she does seem to care :)

We had faulty alarms in our block of flats. Two fire engines used to deploy regularly and they used to have to check the building. Used to happen twice a day sometimes.

Depends when you go really. I never see children in pubs - I'm in work in the day and pop out for a drink post watershed. When I go earlier I see couples eating sometimes (7PM ?) There is bad behaviour at that time I'm sorry to say :) and it's the Adults. In the West End loads of tourists try and bring children in and they are chucked out after 9.

That was the dogs seat (by the window).

Most pubs seem to be child free when I go (but I'm a nightime drinker). In the Alex in Clapham on Saturday - and most of the (Irish) drinkers seemed to have been on an all dayer - not a place for children. When people can't walk straight in a pub then children shouldn't be there. So Irish pubs don't do children I think.

The Rye used to on Saturdays - they even had a little ballot box to keep it, and I voted YES. I think the NO vote won though because it stopped - some people don't like bands in pubs.

Membership gives you access upstairs I think http://www.thedeaddollsclub.com/Peckham/membership/ If you try to link to Peckham off the main site - you get the apple watch site :)

Just noted on Southwark News. Elephant and Castle pub now protected - no Foxtons then !!! Thomas a Becket also protected and sale postponed. http://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/council-calls-time-on-plans-to-redevelop-historic-boozers/

So this is a "free of tie lease" from Wellington Pub Co (whatever that is) and seems The Herne Tavern (edited as below) is sold too. http://www.daviscofferlyons.co.uk/news/detail/east-dulwich-double-for-davis-coffer-lyons/1117#.VYl8xfm6dpg http://www.wellingtonpubcompany.co.uk/properties.asp

Doesn't really improve the look anyway.
