  1. That?s reopened now as The Brougham, http://www.thebrougham.co.uk/east-dulwich.html
  2. I thought It's Immaterial were from Liverpool?? Great song though. Used to get played a lot in house/balearic clubs in the late 80's. And much later, a dance act called Dab Hands built a track around Driver's Seat which was pretty effective. I won't post the YouTube link here as it's a bit off topic.
  3. Hey Rockets, The data you have quoted indicates that some of the through traffic ends up on the main road. I don't think it demonstrates that some of the through traffic is not dissipated in other ways, such as my earlier post. Would you not need to know the total amount of traffic originally using the now LTN route and to know whether or not that equalled the uplift on the nearby main roads? I don't have any hard data to back up what 'some people may do'. I do know from my own experience and anecdotally, that people do sometimes make those decisions. And I take it you wouldn't argue that there are not more cyclists on the road nowadays; or that the population of inner London has grown significantly over the last 20 years - which to me suggests an increasing number of people who favour a lifestyle where the car is less paramount, than it would be if they had moved (back) to the outer suburbs. I certainly wouldn't expect someone to move home because they received a ticket. I didn't say that. I do believe someone who normally whizzes their kids to school in the car when it takes fifteen minutes each way, may consider doing something different if it starts taking twice as long and you can't park anywhere near the school as it's now a school street. There's a continuum of examples between your one and mine where I doubt we would agree on each case but some would conceivably lead to a change in behaviour and some would be impossible/unrealistic.

I'm not sure if you have data to back up the assertion that 'through traffic doesn't jump on a bike or walk - it goes another route" but over time people who are used to making longer commuting journeys may well do any of the following: Jump on a bike - yes they actually might Catch the train Move closer to where they work Seek work nearer home Find a way to work from home (at least some of the time) Travel at less busy times And these may also apply to kids coming into school from out of the area and driving for any other reason such as shopping, leisure etc.
  5. I guess they most do, they have been running similar ad's for decades...
  6. Certainly sounds like a natural reaction to recover the runaway dog, no problem with that. But drivers should be switching their engines off when parked anyway, why would you not?
  7. Not a direct comment on the premium increase, but this is a high risk area for subsidence. Pretty much all of south London is as the underlying substrate is clay which has a high water content and so can expand and contract with changes in the weather, proximity of trees, nearby water courses etc.
  8. He was living there for a while quite recently I think
  9. We can also recommend Niko. We had a problem with a leaking radiator I was unable to fix myself. Niko attended promptly and fixed it. Job done!! We have used Niko in the past and would definitely do so again.
  10. As you say, it's not the only reason. And far from it.
  11. I don't think they do have power of arrest - beyond citizen's arrest. They can just ask you to come back into the store. A citizen's arrest can be made if they know that a crime has been committed.
  12. Met Police do have legal powers to conduct a stop and search. (However much we agree or otherwise with how they use them) I'm not 100% sure of the legalities, but I don't think Co-op or their sub-contract security firm do have any such powers. I would guess they have the power of citizen's arrest, but would need to substantiate their grounds for doing so.
  13. I?m not certain that?s right. This is from UK Gov website: Your isolation period includes the day the first person in your household?s symptoms started (or the day their test was taken if they did not have symptoms, whether this was an LFD or PCR test), and the next 10 full days. This means that if, for example, your 10 day isolation period starts on the 15th of the month, your isolation period ends at 23:59 hrs on the 25th and you can return to your normal routine. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance/stay-at-home-guidance-for-households-with-possible-coronavirus-covid-19-infection#main-messages
  14. "they know they?d run the risk of getting their face filled-in. They would from me anyway." Just to be clear, you will be able to find me if you need to.
  15. KK - If you're referring to me, please don't threaten violence on a public forum. Please feel free to contact me directly if that's the route you want to travel on.
  16. Speaking of footballers, as a Palace fan I am aware of two first team players who have been exposed breaking Covid rules. Neither of whom lost their first team places even temporarily. I expect this is mirrored at other clubs.
  17. Did they also have a graph to show compliance of the Sky News team itself :)
  18. I couldn't begin to guess why you felt the need to offer that woeful excuse for the veiled racist comment you made. Only you know the answer to that, buddy.
  19. LOL - that is the kind of excuse my 12yr old would come out with
  20. Disagree with the challenge. Strongly agree that everyone who can should be wearing masks and there are many not wearing them who should be. Although in the shops I go in, Sainsbury's DKH mainly the compliance is generally quite high. But I just don't think it is down to other customers to try to enforce this regulation for all sorts of reasons, not least you may well be accosting someone who has a genuine reason for not wearing one. Someone with an ASD or anxiety type condition probably already finds the situation they're in quite stressful. NB as far as I am aware, there is no official mask exempt badge or any legal compunction to wear one. Also, the inference that white skinned people people of a certain class would be more compliant is a little off, KK.
  21. 8:49 apologises for offence 8:51 calls those offended snowflakes Classic
  22. Wise words - give it a chance to sink in before speaking to them again. Think carefully before complaining to their landlord or threatening to do so. intexasatthe moment Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I think that when people are made aware of their > less than desirable behaviour they will > ,understandably ,bluster/prevaricate .Few will > instantly acknowledge things . > > You have probably given them food for thought and > i wouldn't assume that they'll just ignore what > you've said .
  23. There are signs up as you leave the perimeter and enter the inner park.
  24. That seems like a bit of a non-sequitur. The OP is just asking for dog owners to follow the existing rules (those that don't already do so). There is no dog-walking perimeter, and jogging is permitted throughout the park.
