And the leader of the council also appeared in his UFO over southwark towers to preach his message of build on greens and pollute poor people's roads.... Jasus you have an active imagination at times

Thanks Penguin The same warning obviously applies for hospital letters / appointments. Possibly worth calling the hospital(s) if you are expecting a letter or appointment. Bring back the ED sorting office 😭

Or smoking up in the hills Billy ?

Rockets and what ever happens next to the councillors depends on how they treat their voters. Especially as "They seem hell bent on ignoring and depositioning any opinion or view that differs from their own!" May isn't that far away after all ...🤔

You could try pipe repair tape but always best to tie it in with a wire tie after sticking it on to give a stronger seal

Have you got a network cable that you can plug into your router and PC which will give you access to the 192.168.... option ?

I found this article online for you https://kb.netgear.com/23517/How-do-I-set-up-my-NETGEAR-WiFi-range-extender Try using the address in the format of 192.168.1.... (possibly 150 as the last 3 digits) as that takes you directly to your netgear extender setup page rather than through the website you mentioned above. Hopefully the article helps

Especially as the old people who have paid their NI stamp when they were young actually ended up funding social care for the elders of their generation in the understanding that when they got old the young would be funding their care. Saying that they shouldn't increase the NI rate to look after them because it's unfair on the young is like robbing Paul when he was young and then returning to kick him in the nads after

If it had council markings then it's unlikely to be for the purpose of ULEZ as that's a TfL initiative and the council have no input It's possibly more looking for untaxed or no mot vehicles so that the council can fine the owners

Alan Reading that, whilst fascinating, reminded me of the comedy series "goodness gracious me" where the father kept on saying "that's Indian, the British stole it from us" 😂

Especially as its not rocket science 😉

There was a petition to get the ULEZ implementation date moved back a year as we are just (or just not) coming out of a pandemic where a lot of people were financially impacted and the cost of upgrading an essential car was going to be a problem for them. Not sure what happened to it but a similar one was rejected in March as it wasn't a government issue. I am surprised that as this is being implemented in 2 months that there hasn't been stronger publicity to say swap your car or pay to drive it.

Is there a link to the LBC interview ?

So you're saying that the US and UK are sanctioning the use of suicide bombers now Wow Did we also not go to the moon, aliens are real and running the US government, and Elvis shot Kennedy before riding off on Sherguard to have an illicit affair with Lord Lucan ? Hope you've got your tin foil helmet on to stop the radio waves from altering your thinking...

Spring time, sadly the level was raised just before an explosion so it was possibly raised as a result of on the ground intelligence rather than part of a conspiracy

If only there was another route available, something like a way through the village, which would allow traffic to flow around this problem. 🤔

In that case why are the council causing congestion on surrounding roads as a result of LTNs which increases pollution being pumped out by stationary traffic and ignoring this fact as they want to claim LTNs work ? The ULEZ will remove some pollutants and moving to electric or hydrogen will get rid of the rest that are related to motoring but compressing traffic into fewer roads won't ! Another problem we have is that nations like China are expanding their pollution quicker then we reduce it so if you really want to make an impact find a solution to the developing world using fossil fuels as well as us reducing their use. As I said earlier those who want to walk or cycle do, and those that need to use a car will still need to use a car and no amount of inconvenience will stop them. If you want to understand the psyche of why then just look at smokers still willing to pay ?10 to ?12 for the privilege despite the price being increased to try and price them out of smoking ...human nature being what it is !

Food shops weren't closed 😱

I think the issue is local delivery not outgoing mail as that's sorted by a central office not a local office.

Let's take a serious look at how shopping habits changed during the peak of the pandemic. Supermarkets were felt by many to be too risky to go to so there was a massive surge in shopping locally partly because smaller shops were felt to be a safer option and partly because delivery slots were rarer than hens teeth (so not everyone moved to online shopping) If businesses in a location are saying that this shift to local didn't happen due to LTNs then maybe they have a serious point and it should be looked into and not dismissed so lightly. The concept of more people will walk to a local shop if it's harder to drive is flawed as those that want to walk or cycle already do and those that are slightly further out or have mobility issues will choose to shop at easier locations which is why there's a drop in trade being observed. So dismissing the lack of customers as a result of business model bring disrupted by a global pandemic is laughable Another example is the rash decision to exclude busses from Rye Lane where some traders are experiencing similar issues as customers are going to locations where they can get to via public transport with ease.
