  4. English person's view of N. Ireland Would this be different from a Welsh or Scottish view? The UK is not just England...
  5. If you have an Amex card, try using it to get Network tickets. Each show has at least one ticket available, even when it said "sold out", at least from my reckoning.
  6. I saw that some of them were ending at Aldwych. Is that going to be a more usual thing, I wonder? Heating is OK but if it is switched on at the factory and the driver CBA to switch it off once the day warms up it can be unpleasant. Glad they're here but I have to say I much prefer to walk as much as I can, especially as most people don't seem to be able to grasp the need to "move down inside" let alone go upstairs.

  9. one of the firemen said that she would be OK. I must admit I was surprised by the amount of emergency vehicles that attended. Three fire engines two police cars three ambulances and the air ambulance. I am so happy that we have the funding to allow such a comprehensive response. Imagine if we had to put up with a situation in which money was scarce and it was even wasted....
  10. The only real way to improve it is to reduce trips in cars and vans. The only people who can do that is you.
  11. Alex_b I'm not in a that ward but I've tried - in vain - to contact councillors so I share your frustration and disdain.
  12. Any dangerous behaviour by a cyclist, driver, pedestrian, motorbike rider or passenger ought to be criticised so as to bring about a general improvement. Walking and texting can be criticised without making the criticiser "anti pedestrian".
  13. It's good to know - thanks. Please tell the police so they can add it to other information or begin a new file.
  14. Doors of chilled food cabinets are nearly always open, wasting energy and possibly putting the food at risk of spoiling. I've been told that sometimes staff don't unlock them after stacking the cabinets, leaving the cold air to escape. That aside, I like the size of the store and the fact it has a good outreach campaign alongside its loyalty scheme.
  15. That's possible, perhaps even likely. If hulking statues can be taken down, even destroyed because of a change in the way that person is viewed then the permanent erasing/archiving of celluloid and videotape is easily achieved.
  16. it's a ten min walk to PR station, which feels like ages in London-commute time! ? Have you been living on top of a Tube station? SE London transport is not great, so be patient, or you will let it get to you and cheese you off. Walk, bus, Overground, normal train, taxi - all will somehow conspire against you over time!
  17. Let the police know in case it tallies with any attacks or menaces. Ring 101, though you may have to hang on the line for a bit.
  18. Big rat (10" more, nose-to-tail) in the community garden at P Rye Park on Saturday - rather s/he be there than around houses.

    Brexit View

    Alan You are being too sensitive - as well as condescending. Why shouldn't they like it (or even hate it) here, or have a good sense of humour (or not) any more than anyone else who lives in London? I am sure these people, who have had the wherewithal to learn a foreign language and gain and secure employment in a megacity, don't need your guilt complex. It's just too sentimentalist.
  22. I believe the person who has put his name to an official document, probably knowing the background to the controversy. Called me old fashioned, but I do.
  23. Sale
  24. Great response - and this one will keep it up there a bit longer!
  25. Two or three occasions of channels just clicking out and then a sign saying that there is a problem in the area (near Goodrich School) over the past five or so weeks.
