There is still a discrepancy in the signage: coming down LL before you turn left it says 3pm start, further down signs say 3.15pm

Another anti-drag protest - this Saturday

Shouldn’t we just ignore them? They crave the publicity that the large counter demo and police give them and usually only a handful turn up -

Looking up and down the street it’s pretty clear they are taking small trees only. I’ve emailed our councillor to see if they know what’s going on.

Mad site that shows home addresses of casualties in the first ww by street. Literally brings it home. https://astreetnearyou.org/#=undefined&lat=10&lon=0&zoom=2 Ed Grove/Barry Lane triangle has 366 dead

Without libelling the company too much is it wise to keep a £2k bike in one? I feel if I’m asking the question I know the answer.

Poor Performance of GP Surgeries

GPs working in networks is great, had a phone triage at 930 on Monday by FHRGP and was seen at TJ at 1130. -
All together: ?On the 13th day of Christmas Royal Mail gave to me - 6 Christmas cards and some spam from an estate agent? Has anyone been the Royal Mail tracking site? A hilarious five minute trawl through different links that leaves you right back where you started. No chance of contacting anyone about missing parcel. What larks.

Found a few schemes around the country, very clear that people should be visible and operate during the day, neither of which is true for these ones. Also found this for Southwark which, as a cyclist, is the sort of thing that properly winds up motorists and propagates ?warfare? behaviour towards cyclists from car drivers: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/community-speedwatch-98/

Anyone know who the people are standing on half moon lane after the traffic lights near the railway bridge / Grafton? Don?t appear to be police but checking speed.

How to securely store a bike outdoors?

Motorobike chains and wall anchors are your best bet, as above though depends how badly someone wants it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152595602861?hash=item2387681dad:g:pPwAAOSwV7ZeoAom -

Back on top of Landells Road 6.15 tonight, started swearing when I closed the door and banged on door again - reported it online

Can?t seem to find an online resource for locations in London. Anyone know of one or have local knowledge? Prompted by seeing the name ?gun site allotments? on a map near the scout camp.

I emailed Wednesday, got (I hope) an auto/scheduled response last night at 23:30 saying it could take 10 days to collect.

Does anyone know if there?s any mileage in appointing an accountant to work on tax claims on home expenses now we?re working from hone substantially? Ie: does it wash with hmrc and is it worth it?

Pre and post-war aerial photos of ED

These are really interesting, 8646 clearly shows blitz damage in Melbourne Grove and Playfield Crescent, as also found here http://bombsight.org/bombs/12294/ Although this site doesn?t appear to show the v1/2 hits so I presume the damage on Crystal Palace Road up from north cross Road were these and not blitz damage. -
I have had variable experiences but it seems like a system issue as staff have always been kind and apologetic. If you have had a good experience and want to help them this feedback form is useful - as noted most people contact NHS services to complain only - and it does make a difference at a staff level for morale and to commissioners. https://www.fhrgp.co.uk/friends-family-test
