Spartacus

I'm still waiting for the first hosepipe bans

How many banks will that leave in East Dulwich ? (Not including the post office)

Todays figures 3.5 million cases were recorded in the week to 6 July, up from 2.7 million the week before Yet mask wearing is still not mandated on public transport, in shops or in all areas in hospitals ... sheer madness and its adding a massive strain to the NHS where staff are off sick with it and a heatwave is adding to admissions... Is there anyone in charge looking at this ?

Has anyone noticed how much harder it is to get an uber back to ED from the West End. They constantly accept your ride then cancel when a better trip comes up for them, the price rises randomly and often when one accepts, due to road restrictions, they can take 10 to 15 minutes to find you. I've actually started to use black cabs in central London again because their price is fixed (not demand based) and often they are right there when you need one. Horses for courses and it still feels stately arriving home in one (even if you're not in a good state yourself 😅)

Whoo hoo party at the Hornimans Joking aside they are a deserving winner as its such a fab museum

Yes, how dare they ride a bike, how dare they not pollute, how dare they not risk pedestrians lives by speeding around in a 2t lump of metal I think the point is, Redpost, that cyclists at the square can be equally as dangerous

Regardless Sue, I'm sure they would appreciate being offered a drink as it's extremely hot at the moment

Interesting response 49% of the UK population suffers hay or pollen fever (https://www.allergyuk.org/about-allergy/statistics-and-figures/#:~:text=Allergic%20rhinitis%20is%20the%20most,%2F%20Kleenex%C2%AE%2C%202020). ) Yet we don't see them wearing masks The reality is that side of the world went through SARs and the learnt the lesson that masks help stop the spread whereas we have gotten through the first two waves and think we are indestructible (Only Captain Scarlet truly is) Our memories are collectively very short and people see wearing masks as an inconvenience not a social responsibility

Just a thought, try renaming the file to remove the "," in it to see if that's the cause

Hi Joe The link to send PMs exists on mobiles in landscape mode but not in portrait mode and is possibly lost when responsive display kicks in. For now simple solution, if user can, is rotate their phones to access it 🤔

I'm still falling to the clicking on link not the last page syndrome Did the old forum open the last page of a thread if you clicked on it and not the first? (memory is terrible in the heat)

Apparently (source bbc news) it was 15 consecutive days where the temperature was 32 degrees or higher.

Infection rates for 4 and 5 are starting to sky rocket and there is evidence that you are not immune post infection yet there is still no common sense over mask wearing either from up high or by the population at large. Despite the premise that we should learn to live with Covid, more can be done to reduce its spread. I was fascinated by the images from Japan over the past few days following the assignation of their former PM. Almost everyone is wearing a mask, yet here the numbers are rising and the mentality is "I don't need to wear a mask" Common sense we just don't have as a nation

CAD have tweeted in the past on the subject Physical barrier needed Access for emergency services shouldn't come at a cost of putting people walking, wheeling or cycling at risk Physicsl barrier (again) It's a drum that CAD are beating regardless of the risk of delaying emergency services 😲

Saw this earlier about the Lambeth LTN, but also mentions Southwark LTN BBC News - Lambeth: £22m in low-traffic fines an abuse of power, say campaigners https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-62016690

I just remembered The tarmac on some roads softened and huge tracks appeared where cars and lorries drove along it

Click the small speech bubble where it says "Contact:" to the left of the post. That only appears on a desktop version and not on the mobile portrait version ... unless you rotate your phone to landscape

In 40 years time TB, you will be posting about the 22 heatwave and kids will be laughing at you :o I wonder how many from this youthful generation would cope if 76 problems happened again or would the find walking to a standpipe or saving water by bathing with a friend (had its ups and downs :lol: ) too much and demand government action to turn the sun down ?

Like programs on the telly you don't enjoy, you simply have to stop using or viewing it rather then complaining. I bet you still are holding on to an old xp version PC because you didn't like Windows Vista :)

Are we about to break the 1976 heatwave record? What's your memory of 76 ? Mine is standpipes and cracked earth where it was so dry

Couple of things I've noticed The facility to report a message to admin hasn't been enabled (sorry just seem the ! At the top of a post which is how to report a message) The Welcome to the CGF thread has images imbeded using BBcode but the Forum doesn't seem to have been enabled yet to show them (may be a legacy post issue) The old forum allowed you to respond via private message to a post. Is this facility available ? Oh and after editing the post to add the report to admin sub text, it doesn't inform others that the post has been edited which means discussions can be changed to make the responder look out of context

Thanks Joe A hot day to do the migration and possibly for the best that the last 20 days have been lost :lol: Long live the Forum

Regardless Billy, if the rumour is true then an independent started by Barry and his Brother over 40 years ago and grown organically is about to change hands, which is a shame for those that know and love it.

Rumours are flying that the lovely team behind Barry's on Barry Road have sold up to Nisa and a local institution will never be the same again. Only time will tell😲
