Spartacus

Nice spin attempt mal If you read the whole tfl FoI document then you will see the issues that are being discussed It's quite worrying that it feels like Southwark against the community in some of the exchanges. Aren't the council supposed to be working for those who elected them ?

Saw this on twitter so claim no responsibility I went to the Doctor with hearing problems. He said "Can you describe the symptoms?" I said: “Homer’s a big guy and Marge has blue hair.”

A lorry carrying onions has shed its load all over the M1. Police are advising motorists to find a hard shoulder to cry on.

When my boy asked me to explain what a solar eclipse was I said No son

Two nuns walk into a bar Boom boom

If Parthenon gets his Marbles back, there's hope for me getting mine back from Billy Chapman who stole them when I was 9 along with my Action Man 😁 But fair play to the Horniman for returning the Benin Bronzes

Maybe Just maybe there's a new craze in the farmyard

I think Mal, that the ULEZ expansion is a good idea but the timing is wrong as people and businesses are struggling financially at the moment. This is why over 60% of all responses said no or delay it with 80% of those in the outer boroughs saying no. Khan is not listening to the majority in this and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a legal or other challenge to postpone it.

Badly dubbed adverts (current case is the teeth alignment one where "many know my name" no we don't)

For some context Nigello Most shops at the Rye end of Rye Lane don't have rear access for the rubbish and recycling lorries to access so there is an agreement with the council for them to put their waste out on Rye Lane between certain hours for collection. Unfortunately some traders do abuse this and put waste out when they shouldn't and Southwark do occasionally crack down on them. The Graffiti is a different problem, traders are loath to clean it off as a clean space attracts more "artists" and where it is sprayed on shutters it often goes through the shutter and damages the window as well. The Rye Lane police have it as a priority to reduce and they and the council are working in schemes to make it better. Please don't blame the traders for Graffiti as they are as frustrated by it as everyone else and the situation was made worse when Rye Lane was shut to traffic as there was less people on the Lane to observe and stop the issue.

Hi Jody Have you registered with the long covid support group https://www.longcovid.org/ or been on their Facebook page https://m.facebook.com/100071509996381/ where I suspect you will find others in your situation and gain support for your drive to get treatment at Kings.

Live at the Apollo when it's repeat 🤔

What a stupid post caulie ... It's distressing for anyone when their car is broken into so stop being a troll and be a bit more sympathetic to victims of crime

As its strike day I can't help singing the song "no milk today" by Herman's Hermits but changing "milk" to "post" 😅

Out of curiosity, had anyone established if they are actually selling their fur range at the Christmas fair or selling only their other products? Hopefully the college has restricted them to non fur items.

Urinals for ladies? Or ladies using their phone on the loo ?

Mal, I'll do a summary for you E transport proves problematic due to selfish twits abandoning them unsympathetically. Paris found same and may abandoning trials. E transport in principle good idea but in practice riden by idiots. Simples

Just got that email too Brilliant news, now if only they can return its frequency back to pre covid levels .... Dear Santa ...

It's also worth contacting trading standards to see if they can help and building control at the council if they are making structural alterations to put a door in as they can advise if the work is being done safely and to standards .

It is now, Thames Water have rescinded the hose pipe ban.

Ex, I have to ask, do you work for a council as you seem to respond with a council style rhetoric? Fines and parking fees are exactly what makes CPZs catnip to councils which is why they employ so many enforcement officers to ticket violations.

Yesterday Kieron Williams was on the BBC London news stating that after being allowed to raise council tax by 5%, Southwark were still going to have to make budget savings and possibly cut services. Perhaps if they stopped implementing cockamamie traffic schemes or host unwanted (and leading) consultatuons, they could save money to be spent on essential services like libraries or social care. 🤔

Being disabled, I find your comment about disabled rights very nasty. I challenge you to take a few days in my situation and see how f@(/ing inconvenient lime bikes sprawled across the pavement really are !

Not when it makes it dangerous for the blind, elderly or less mobile who require clear pavements to get around. Making it convient for one group (cyclists) at the expense of all others is not a solution that is viable.
