Just go down and ask the jab receptionist whether you could be put on a reserve list, saying how long it would take you to get there, etc. I think having your NHS number may help - it's just a bit quicker and may dispose the person to you a bit better, you never know.

Bottom line - prepare yourself for a day or two of chills, aches and general zonked-outness and if not, then that's a bonus. (There are those who say that preparing yourself for such, though, heightens the chance you will feel the side effects or even invent them, but take your pick.)

Maybe it was meant to be "yappy"?

Bus lanes are segregated from much of the traffic so they can be used by cyclists. The quiet routes on back roads are chosen for their relative lack of traffic so they don?t need to be painted. If you?ve got functioning lights, a bell and reflective clothing that will help maintain safety (though so many cyclists dispense with one or more of those, unfortunately).

At least 12 ?hard-core? cyclists in DV, merrily ignoring red lights (as usual). It?s a hive mentality. Poor show from people who likely are seen and see themselves as middle-class, professional men of a certain age. (Everyone can break traffic rules: it?s not only younger people, is my point.)

- no more pollarding in Southwark till Nov.

The interview Mishal H did with him on Today, around 08:35 was good. Some politicians I find foolish but in him, I see prowess and ability but cunning and a chilling-ness.

London Mayor is a vanity post. It has no real power, at least when compared to great world cities like NYC. All these layers of politicians serve politicians, mainly, and their supporters. I am minded not to vote.

On the other hand, postcard from SE22 to Sapporo, Japan took 4 days, SE22 to Germany took 2 days...

Yes, maybe a jay, but it seemed smaller. Anyway, unlikely to be anything rare.

I am betting on either Calton or Court being reopened. Having both closed and the restrictions at morning and afternoon school peak hours in the Village itself are super-serving. One measure could be enough and then, if they really want to turn up the pressure, introduce another later. Also, a bus along Court Lane (electric, so quiet) would be great, especially if it were hail-and-ride to take folk from Herne Hill to LL.

When the private schools are on holiday, the level of traffic around the area drops a fair amount (yes, hard to say what that is, but I'd say at least 20 percent). Levels also drop off more when both state and private holidays coincide.

It was not a magpie or parakeet - definitely not green, not the same tail, and the sound was raspier, not screechy like a parakeet.

It wasn't pigeon like in any way other than its size. I thought it was a corvid but they were too light in colour.

Any help re the rasping bird would be gratefully received. Thanks

Unless they rasp noisily, I?d say no, not thrush, etc.

I saw a slim, almost elongated pigeon-sized bird, perched on TV aerials and screeching/squawking raspily and with a slightly fanned tail. What coukd it be? It?s not a jay or magpie or jackdaw/crow. I think I heard two of them.

The school is there only part of the day and part of the year and has a small playground and has restrictions on parents arriving by car, so restrictions on noise are in place, they could argue. I am sorry you are sensitive to the noise but I do not think that it would be strong grounds for a transfer. Techniques like mindfulness can really help with not reacting to noise, etc. It works with lots of people, even with planes, etc. Also, your GP may be able to help with techniques to stop you from getting too anxious about the noise, etc.

Mine was a second generation meter for gas. The leccy one works.

This was the original map, with two routes (from which the Brixton option was removed?) https://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Cross-River_Tram#/media/File:TfL_latest_revised_route_map_with_rail.png

Why not have a word with the owner/manager? It's a legitimate concern and any right-minded businessperson would not want to cheese anyone off especially in the time of a pandemic. People generally don't want bad outcomes.
