I still wouldn't want to live next to someone who permanently has a countries flags adorning the outside of the house. I'd get rather fed up of it fast. Okay with it during Englands world cup exploits (they don't last long ;) and Okay with a flag inside the window (as curtains for instance). I would be told to take it down if I tried that - but then I'd be told to keep my washing off balcony - it's written in the terms of most blocks of flats (and I'd have thought blocks of houses). Until recently English flags on a house were associated with extremism in many peoples minds NOT as patriotic - I'm glad thats changed to be honest - maybe she didn't know there has been a change.

A quick Google of Gypsy clothing reveals that this is quite hip now. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gypster

The last time I was pick pocketed in Oxford street (a number of years back) - quite brilliantly the police at the time blamed the Portuguese.

English changes depending on the context - and whether you use an iPhone with autocorrect. I can't read long paragraphs on boards though - need to keep it short and sweet IMHO.

If Evans go into pizzas, indians, kebabs as well as bikes and repairs, they will be a conglomerate and the cycle profits can be used to support the loss making pizza business.

I've seen a few where a taxi stops - but doesn't pull in - door opens and wham.

I tried making Welsh Rarebit last week - but just can't get it like I used to.

Evans were a small independent until recently.

Still have memories of our private bonfires though. A neighbor had a spare bit of land and we started building it in September. Was a highlight of the year as a 10 year old.

I heard that every Fig contains dead wasps :)

Integration into mainstream Loved it when it was just the geeks and enthusiasts

Well the rain will stop any next week - might have thunder mind - I had a dog that hated that - sat at the window and growled. Maybe the pets pick up our feelings ?

The service has gone is my interpretation then ? Maybe they want us to use .... https://patient.emisaccess.co.uk/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f Will this still work http://www.seldoc.co.uk/

Can't it be moved .. to a park or green or too big

Why do we want to know what the Police are doing ? I like to know because it's our neighborhood and we want to know how to improve it, and to do that we need to know what's wrong. I hear sirens every day going past on Rye lane - I'd rather they didn't but I at least want to know why my neighborhood is full of police cars, sirens on rushing somewhere. Peckham is improving because people take note of what is going on and get involved.

Sorry to say it but .. Stick the football on - BT and Sky. Get some Ales in. Get some live music (Like the Rye used to) back to Magdala Noticed the Firestation in Waterloo is boarded up - that had footfall but didn't mak it

Guardian guy (@crifmulholland) tweeted a picture saying 'police everywhere' 'lots of cops with guns' last night - and added police still there this morning - pic shows JAARK - opposite me but I saw/heard nothing - young man in Puffa jacket got arrested if you believe tweet replies.

Not sure if these are linked being two days apart. 2nd November 3:56 PM ‏@MPSinthesky Peckham area. Assisted to search for a missing female @MPSSouthwark Today @MPSSouthwark Several units involved in a search for a lost 4 year old in Peckham Rye Park. Successfully reunited with mother :) ^KJR

The MIPM conference isn't very popular it seems (seen a few reports of Demo's) - although I think the Skyscrapers are more Bankside and Elephant way.
