Alternative is to list them on discogs as someone may well be searching for the records you have

Foxy, you can lick whatever you desire so long as its legal and no one objects or is offended by it, however I recommend doing it in the privacy of your own home as no one likes to see a window licker !

Barry's have a notice in their window saying they will be selling them this year

Fab A lock down breaker offering massages in people's homes Is this where the mob gathers with pitchforks and flaming torches ? Or maybe we should point him in the direction of Mrs Bob !

That's possibly true for petrol and diesel engines But where's the similar graphic for electric and hybrid cars ? Also the deaths and injuries stats are for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicle occupants , not just pedestrians so whilst still frightening it's a little misleading when used in this way

Oh my Are we all failing to see the obvious Tonight "I'm a celebrity" starts and as well as the 10 famous ? people in a Welsh castle, they also need a pantomime villain to give the audience someone to Boo Of course I could be wrong but "he's behind you ..."

Sounds like you are scared of asking the question as simply as possible ex Is it possibly because you know it will be a majority against LTNs and that doesn't suit your agenda ?

There is a simple solution to the question of are people in support or against LTNs The council should run an all inclusive survey that asks one simple question "Do you want LTNs in Southwark?" No secondary questions (for example "if there is one in your neighbours street... ") just a straight forward for or against question. However the council are far too chicken I think !

John Boyega has spoken to the BBC about his new role in "Small Axe" As part of the article he talks about the stop and search experiences he and his father experienced. BBC News - John Boyega says father was stopped by police on way from church https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54878662 In it he is quoted as saying "Everybody knows, especially if you grew up in Peckham, somebody who's gone through the darkest scenarios with the police," he added. "I do. I know a few people." Does this imply that the Police in Peckham are / were more racist than other police officers or is it just written solely from his viewpoint and experiences?

Hi ExDulwicher Can you publish the modelling work you did or share it on here ? if you are going to talk about it let others see it. The TfL London Travel Demand Survey you shared was for 2011 /12 and is made up of 8,000 responders therefore it is 8 years out of date and only represents 8,000 ( https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/about-tfl/how-we-work/planning-for-the-future/consultations-and-surveys#on-this-page-1 ) out of 9,304 million Londoners (2020 figures) which means the survey represents approximately 0.086% of the total London population ? that?s worse than a Loreal advert that tells you 85% of 120 women prefer it? If the survey was done with a realistic sample then it would represent the views of Londoners, however with such a small survey there is a chance that (for example) 1,000 parents questioned on their way to take little Johnny to football could easily bias the results. The data is a) out of date and b) not a large enough sample to produce the full conclusion of 35% of all car journeys are less than a mile (2km) To use this survey in a meaningful way in this debate you would need to ensure it covers at least (modelling finger in the air) 5% of all Londoners (465,200 Londoners or half a million for ease of counting) which would provide better objectivity and a more reliable outcome. I agree, for some people the creature comfort of driving rather than waiting in the cold and wet is better than using busses / trains but a lot of the journeys undertaken would involve multiple changes or long awkward journeys (when I was younger I used to commute, not by choice, to Kent on a daily basis which was only practical by driving as an example.) Remember this area is a through route to other places (Kings College Hospital, the South Circular and so on) so a lot of drivers in this area (not SE22 resident's) are possibly doing more than local short journeys. God I would love to own an Aston Martin as I suspect 99.99% of all drivers would, but two points to mention here, there are not that many Aston Martins in Dulwich and as much as I would love to say ?Bond, James Bond? sadly motability cars don?t offer an Aston Martin as an option 😆 To follow up on your comment, you need to think that a lot of cars in the area are owned by families with kids who need to carry them and other things in the safest and quickest way from A to B (cycling, walking and Public transport often doesn?t offer an option.) The concept that people still drive company cars is also a bit out of date, over the past 20 years tax advantages of doing so have been eroded so now the number of company car drivers is very low compared to 2000 or 2011.) The issues with the scheme needing to bed in over months (as you point out) would be true if there was a limited number of LTNs but that?s not the case as they are virtually everywhere in London now so traffic can?t evaporate to other roads as they are also blocked hence demand is forced into ever decreasing bottlenecks pushing pollution in certain areas even higher. I will accept that some journeys are unnecessary but until you provide the following I can?t put any faith in your stock answers as a lot of people actually do need to drive but the pro-active travel lobby are making life hard for them and increasing (not reducing) pollution as a result.. 1. A copy of the modelling work / or link to it with the base date behind it. 2. A current 2019/20 London Travel Survey (preferably with a good respondent group to ensure that small deviations can?t skew the data.) 3. Local data on drivers in and around East Dulwich including those who pass through. 4. A pre implementation traffic and pollution survey for all roads in the area to show either the overall improvement or the displacement to non LTN roads.

It was on from about 6.25 and the conclusion I got was that the minister in charge was asked about the lack of wider consultations, the issues of keeping London open for movement of goods and so on but as she is a cyclist the scheme will get a second set of funding and councils must prove that they are consulting otherwise they won't get all the money they want. Seemed a bit sad that she wasn't taking concerns on board and was determined to continue rolling out funding to London and other councils.

Interesting, and you know that they ALL could use alternative methods to get to their destination how exactly ? I'm hoping you knocked on every car window and asked how long / far their journey is and if they could use alternative methods but I expect it is the usual finger in the air scientific conclusion made on assumptions and lack of local and realistic baseline data ?

Not only in need of least repair but they have treated them to the special council bulldozer experience !

OneEaling have launched a legal challenge and crowd funding page. One to watch and possibly emulate to put pressure on councils across London!

Blah Blah, I'm curious How are you going to explain how Santa is able to visit every house despite a covid ban on visiting other people's houses potentially in place at Christmas ?

Can't believe how quickly Christmas Adverts are here this year. Halloween has literally just been put in its grave and the adverts have started. Commercialisation at its finest !

They've had enough in Crystal Palace Maybe we should do the same if it gets results

I'm guessing the song for this weekend is "boom shake shake da room" !

Thanks for the input Robin and welcome back Can you post or point to the alternative suggestions so they can be discussed ?

Fishbiscuits did you complete the survey to tell Westminster that ?

Westminster are proposing to reduce the number of spots where street performers can operate down to 15 with only a few allowed PA systems. This has been pushed through by only 1,800 complaints in a year. Yet millions of Londoners and tourists have been watching and enjoying these performances for years (centuries) They are asking for responses via a short survey to be completed by this Sunday. Are you in favour of against reducing the number of pitches, types of performances and potentially driving Street Performers out of the capital? The survey and more information is here : https://www.westminster.gov.uk/busking Personally I've spent my whole life secretly enjoying seeing the Street Performers around places like Covent Garden and admired their bravery in getting up and entertaining the masses and I for one don't want to see them gone or restricted. Do you ?
