Can anybody use the machines ? I've used the one on Morrisons and it takes a percentage and I have to use it for shopping. re - cashing cheque - I'd open a small account.

Glad to hear that he's alive - I thought he was under it All the buses had stopped and everyone from the shops was on the street as I walked up. titch juicy Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > kenand Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > titch juicy Wrote: > > > -------------------------------------------------- > > > ----- > > > Cyclist and bus had a coming together outside > > > peckham rye station this morning apparently. > > Only > > > details I know are that he wasn't wearing a > > helmet > > > and there was a crowd of paramedics present. > > > > He was wearing a helmet and looked in a bad way > > apologies- typo on my part, meant to write he WAS > wearing a helmet and it probably saved his life > > this is very much anecdotal though

but also drivers need to remember, partially sighted people use the green man - that's why it beeps !! Just checked about Zebras and the traffic isn't obliged to stop until you're on the road - but advice is to wait on the pavement until traffic stops (catch 22 :)) lane lover Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Weird post.

You get a feeling for the ones that won't stop Sometimes I just don't walk at crossings - then a car zooms through without looking. Would be possible manslaughter mind.

Tonight in SE15. Montpelier packed, queues outside canavams and at least 200 trendy types in the bakery that serves beer opposite - took some pics as they're all over the road :). I was joking in this thread when I said everyone had gone to Peckham. Something big in the Bussey building til 5 am too.

Those are the ones they only allow you to use for 3 days :) King's gave me Tramadol to take home after an Op - was very good.

Not to slap him down but bikes and Norman (Lord) Tebbit have a history.

I give to charity by direct debit and not in the street I tell them this - I feel mean sometimes. It'll be Penny for the Guy soon :)

I think all you have said was mentioned in one of the recent reviews. including the lifts - you have to walk :) Except it was still summer and Franks was open.

Windows 7 is great and stable - Windows 8 is two brained and I actually get distracted when I use it. I fell for the 27" iMac when I saw it - but ?1500 is a lot.

I loved Allders in Croydon but something new is opening there now http://www.thisiscroydontoday.co.uk/Man-new-store-Allders-reveals-plans/story-19512199-detail/story.html#axzz2fMByYhfk Voyageur Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > One of the pleasures of living in places like ED > or Crystal Palace is that they are not crammed > with the usual high street crud, and long may that > continue!

The good old days of XP Windows 8 has driven me so mad I'm looking at iMacs.

Stopped buying Cappuccinos in Starbucks a few years ago when I got a mug of foam - switched to Latte. or try asking for wet - they are supposed to cut the foam then.

if you are one of the higher in the road - surely it wouldn't go up My flat is C - so I keep quiet :)

Yep - I'm in flats and food waste seems to go with general. My friend had a wormery and I remember being with him when he opened it and all the worms 'jumped' out in his face (they must have all been on the lid) :) Burbage Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > DulwichFox Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > The Council provide FREE Green Food Bags that > go > > in your Brown Bin. > > Not everyone has a brown bin, or even one of the > dinky food-waste bins.

Even walking up Rye Lane you find many obstacles - crates, drain hoses etc. I saw someone clouted by a bus wing mirror the other day jimbo1964 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I find it amazing that this ridiculous cycle path > on Rye Lane was ever given the go-ahead.

Politics I still purposely get a few bags to wrap up food items I dispose off (bones etc) I have long live bags.

The hipsters and pop-up bars will soon give way. That's how it works.

She is what she is She's probably lonely - but just stop speaking - and don't answer the door to her. The more rational and communicative you are the worse she will be - because she's lonely - ignore. The soundproofing sounds terrible mind.

I think that's going to happen now. Don't know if the windows could be removed first. Sorry - still don't do much for me - find them depressing - could see art historians might be interested. jimmyraj Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > edhistory Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Is this in one of the two Blenheim Grove art > deco > > blocks? > > > > I hope the freeholder not not revoke the > > head-lease and have these buildings destroyed. > > > > John K > > Are you on a one man crusade to save these > blocks??

Didn't we have Ash Die Back last summer.

Maybe Cyclists are halfway between cars and pedestrians Cars should/would never go through a red light (unless crazy) Pedestrians cross the road whenever - don't rely on the green man - someones in the road. Cyclists - a few see themselves as half and half ??
