Spartacus

Nigello, with the proposal for a "supermarket local" type store at the bottom of the Barry Parade development, with a loading bay outside for delivery Lorry's , mixed with a bus stop opposite the click house, plus additional cars for the Kings Court development topped off by drivers visiting the store it just doesn't bode well for road safety at that junction.

Imagine if this development went ahead along with the proposal for Barry Parade (application ref : 18/AP/2238) The junction of Barry Road would become a nightmare 😱

Bob This may be more up your street

You're right blah blah, the budget for services would still be there and needed but the cost for city hall, city hall workers, assembly members , tsars , the Mayor and all associated expenses wouldn't. That's multi millions that could be used for London centric projects / needs and not just on a layer of bureaucracy that sits between local councils and the government.

Then your collection is complete Try toy soldiers next

Thanks legal Wonder if the traders have been invited?

You're right Malumbu, not forgetting cancelling the last route master historic route, building an over running / over cost tube line , not getting knife crime under control , failing to fund the police correctly and not forgetting installing measures to reduce pollution that make it worse and don't account for elderly and the disabled (street space) The mayors done loads of things for us...

I thought this was useful https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-40ac92b1-1750-4e86-9936-2cda6b0acb3f It also appears that the surge testing for the SA variant in Lambeth and Wandsworth will be extended into part of Southwark due to its presence also being discovered in wastewater. Still alcohol gel wash kills it, so the young are hoping for the same effect from going to the pub 😱

There is a worrying development coming out of Chile at the moment, despite being ahead in vaccinating the population they are now suffering a third wave. https://www.theweek.co.uk/news/world-news/americas/952437/why-chile-battling-coronavirus-surge-despite-rapid-vaccine The article talks about using the Pfizer vaccination with a high efficacy and the Chinese vaccination (CoronaVac) which now appears to have an efficacy of around 50%. Scientist are trying to understand why they are in a third wave and if it's linked to 50% of those receiving Coronavac being vulnerable to the Brazilian variant, however they did unlock back in January when the vaccination program was in its infancy and people dropped their guard. Should this be a warning for us all during this next phase of unlocking from recent restrictions? I guess the phrase "they think it's all over" can't be used just yet and fingers crossed the vaccinations we are using here will be enough to stop another wave against our shores.

Jim Just watch the carnage that would cause on Crystal Palace road, not to mention the loss of buses on the Lane sending them down Barry Road. With the roads off Lordship Lane around Melbourne Grove closed to traffic, the shops will suffer more than they are already. Not a good idea in the slightest 😱

I warned you about this thread, and lo today James Cash discussed it seriously and if people think its a good idea he will look into it This is on you MCO6215 , all you....

The news channels have tributes already made up for major public figures that they add to and update on a rolling basis just in case. Hardly shocking foxy, it's something they plan for and possibly have been since moving pictures were first invented. Good business practice IMHO

I agree Malumbu, bbc1 and bbc2 are showing exactly the same program. If they had different content then fine but the same content is strange. Very sad for the Queen at this time

Trades people who when invited to come to your residence to quote on a job, turn up without a face mask. Thank you but no even if they are the cheapest quote.

Lynne I have had so many arguments with banks asking them to prove who they are before I give details over to prove who I am Totally agree with your comments but the banks / card companies don't get it. I now put the phone down then ring the number on the back of my card from another phone (to stop the holding the line open scam) Someone has to come up with a better, more secure system.

On this there is no argument, it's madness in built up areas and half of their owners can't park for toffee so end up taking up one and a half spaces (either length or width)

A friend says he wakes at 2 minutes to midnight, The hands that threaten doom.

You could buy various different tea bags, split the bags open and then make your own blend 🤔

That's park life for you Malumbu

Location is also important, for example if on the banks of the river Nile then gone noon half past monsoon. But that's Madness 😎

Don't call me stupid

Sorry lou Only just woken from my chocolate coma and saw this As they say you snooze , you lose From what I was told, there was supply problems due to covid and demand was high to make up for Christmas However in the spirit of Easter, I've got a spare creme egg that you can have for the bargain price of ?50

I normally try to get up tomorrow, never today 😆
