Just be polite and use short sentences ? Please wear a face covering because it?s compulsory. It?s for everyone?s benefit. I?ve asked three people on buses to do so and all complied. One was unmasked due to his talking on the phone during which he said he worked at a hospital! If you?re fave caf? or shop isn?t being serious about the rules, talk to the owner, manager etc. It?s a bit awkward for some people but awkwardness isn?t a vaccine against Covid.

The trials are for hireable ones so people?s details will be traceable and insurance is provided by the hire firm. It stresses they?re to be used on roads only. This is sensible. Where you can use a trial e-scooter You may use a trial e-scooter on the road (except motorways) and in cycle lanes. You must not use an e-scooter on the pavement.

If you have to travel on the pavement, and I can see that is safer than being on the road most of the time, give way to pedestrians and give warning that you are approaching. I?ve had scooters come up behind me I had no idea were there until they passed me. A bicycle bell or shout out Excuse Me / Good Morning (probably a bell in London!) with time for the pedestrian to stand to one side if needed before you get to them will make it safer and more pleasant for all. Nice sentiment but rather too Enid Blyton for my reality. Pavements are for pedestrians and wheelchair users. Why add to some people?s sense of unease by allowing (by virtue of not ticketing) illegal use of machines that can go much faster than the average pedestrian/wheelchair user? If you?re barrelling along a pavement with no helmet and no way of others identifying you it?s unlikely you?ll chirrup a jolly hello or ring a tinkly bell to announce your presence.

They?re not yet legal on road or pavement. I think they?re a good idea in theory ? keeping the number of vehicles down and reducing pressure on public transport - but need to be policed. I?ve seen people waving in and out of traffic on roads and footpath and felt unsafe for the rider and those nearby. Accidents can happen and they have effects on not just the rider and the injured but their loved ones. Insurance is needed for all riders because they can go at a fair lick.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/26/non-woven-masks-better-to-stop-covid-19-says-japanese-supercomputer Remember that masks help, especially these, but all face coverings don?t magic the virus away completely. Staying away from others and washing hands (or never ever putting fingers to mouth, eyes, nostrils, ear holes) would work most effectively. Wash your face covering or mask (woven ? cotton, linen, etc.) and dispose effectively and safe,6 of the non-woven ones after a day?s use. Being in a closed, poorly ventilated space at close quarters with others, all or mostly unmasked, is a good way of increasing your chance of getting infected. I?m not a medic so I?m using common sense and the knowledge I have.

Maybe too many drivers take too many trips that could be walked or cycled? Maybe too many people get up too late to accommodate breakfast, school bag packing and the ?school run?? Maybe too many people think common sense is for others? 🤨

Contact your councillor with details and/or report it 020 7525 2000. It?s a nuisance and sometimes dangerous and much more so if you?re visually impaired or can?t move easily out of the way (like if you use a frame or wheelchair and the branches take up lots of space on the footpath). I think councillors should be alert to this problem as they go about their business and work on clearing up the problem.

https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/UKSOUTHWARK/bulletins/29be9fd Whilst numbers are still low, there have been 49 new cases in Southwark in the last seven days. The number of new cases has nearly doubled in Southwark in the last week and numbers are rising across London. A high proportion of new cases are for people aged 18?34. We also know that most transmission is still amongst family and friends.

Why remove them? I?d have thought it best to let nature do its thing, unless there?s a suspicion of disease or poising gets in which cases they could be tested. Nature is messy as well as pretty.

The onus is on the business owner to follow the rules. It is not optional. It is not for the customer to ?take a chance?. If is impossible to remove all hazards vis-?-vis coronavirus transmission but sticking to physical distancing rules, etc. is a help and restaurants, shops etc. must comply with the regulations.

That?s not good news. What did they say when you complained? Did you stay? What have you done to notify the authorities? Perhaps they had your number or email already from the booking?

Contact Councillor Maggie Browning for Donkey Alley. She?s usually responsive. My blue bin wasn?t taken, even after a call to them.

20th August You need the app to book a slot. There?ll be fast and slower swimmer options. Each session lasts fifty minutes. You are encouraged to arrive swimming-ready and changing areas and showers will be open for after your swim, according to an employee I talked to.

How come milkpersons think it?s ok to stop-start in diesel vehicles in the dead of night? If yours does that, consider ditching him in solidarity with people who like to sleep (ie. everyone).

Yes ? I saw the patch of scorched earth and partly-burnt logs. I picked up the rubbish ? dry cider, small bottle of vodka ? la corner shop and vin de table so not a very classy crowd (as you?d expect from fire starters).

Has anyone had continued success with bird boxes? If so, which kind of box, which kind of bird, where is the box situated, etc? Sparrows roost in gaps between my and my neighbour's house (because the houses are actually detached but look terraced) but nothing else. When to put up a box?

Teh council has put a sign up saying there should be no open flames, fires, BBQs, etc, padlocked to the bench (which is meant to commemorate the life of a woman who died but is now seen my some as a canvas for their squiggles and dawbs). I would have preferred a sign asking people to not flytip and take their litter home but I suppose it's a start....

Hello there, I am really well, thanks in part to the fact I have taken every vaccine that has ever been offered to me, as have my friends and family of all shapes, age and sizes from several different continents. I hope you stay as healthy!

What's wrong with a U-turn, especially if it's in your favour? Those who whine when a party they do not vote for reviews its stance to be in line with their views waste oxygen. I didn't vote for this government but I am glad when it changes policy to something I think is more responsible -- but not to the point of crowing. Much better to accept it and move on.

If the council were to allow or turn an official blind eye to BBQs and larger-than-allowed gatherings it would then rob it of any authority as regards any of its other responsibilithways, social care, education. Large gatherings - marches, parties, weddings, religious services - are by very dint of their size more likely to spread a virus than if they didn't take place. Imagine the chagrin and regret of someone who infected their mother or grandfather because they couldn't refuse the lure of a glass of warm lager and undercooked burger!

Thanks It may well have been a European hornet ? maybe a queen. Its buzz was loud. Are they seen often? On a side note, there are a fair few spiders around. It seems earlier than last year for them.

I had a 2? wasp in my house yesterday. It stayed near the glass of a door to outside and I flicked it out. Could it have been a queen looking for somewhere to bed down after summer (or doing something else)? I don?t think it was a hornet because it was yellow/black, not orange or amber.

I?ve emailed one of the Dulwich Hill councillors several times and never got a reply. The other one has been very good at engaging and replying. I have emailed other councillors outside my ward and never got a reply. I?m unimpressed with local government because of this.
