Brain Sewer: ?The coolest part of the ?11th coolest neighbourhood in the world? is surely where I found myself yesterday, by the bins at the back of Rye Lane Market where it comes out onto Elm Grove. The bloodstained mattress, the scattered chicken parts and the clever addition of the stench of piss was an urban art tour de force. The intelligent use of the screaming guy on the bench added a frisson.?

What papers will you use? The editorials of the Express and Mail might make interesting reading in years to come. Or will you use themes? problem pages or horse racing perhaps... The FT could add a nice warm glow to any dark corner

'Do be careful what you wish for' That would be even worse traffic jams. There is very light pedestrian traffic using that junction, and heavy traffic, particularly from Lordship Lane turning right onto the Common. During the rush, getting across the existing lights can take five or six sets of changes. Also, heading east along the Common toward Forest Hill regularly sees traffic tailing back beyond the duck pond. A crossing there, ensuring the safety of imaginary pedestrians will make it unimaginably worse.

there's a huge amount of homes nearby - the > LL Estate, Underhill/Overhill/Melford/SC end of > Wood Vale/Horniman that don't have anywhere to > drink within a 10 minute walk. and a tremendous number of alcoholics in the area

We are good at satellites and a satnav network could make GBUK a lot of money and employ a lot of people

Brit sat tech is a success story

I used to know what to do with a 16 year old at weekends

The clean up begins

Currently there are four caravans on the site and no people. The tipper trucks arrive every half an hour or so. I think the caravans are now there merely to safeguard the dump. It's a Potemkin traveller site

Apparently, they refuse to move until there is a court order, which may take five weeks or more.

BT have requested/served an eviction notice. 'It could take five days,' he said. Meantime, the kids are trying to break into a BT van

They're dumping now

I suspect it's because the path has been raised

I have a 28 year-old car, that does about 2,000 miles a year. It is taxed and expensively insured. It passes emission tests every time. I love it and want to keep it. But soon it will cost twelve quid to leave my drive and if I pop out of the zone, twelve quid to come back. A salesman doing 150k a year will pay the same Seems a bit harsh

OK, this is off manor but in the spirit of neighbourliness, could all EDF-ers get behind this campaign? This from another forum: Not content with turning the heart of Brixton into a dead zone, Network Rail have now angered locals in Herne Hill with the news that they intend to demolish the independent Flower Lady shop located next to the railway station. A post on the Herne Hiller FB page offered more detail: More on the Network Rail saga ? They want to build an electricity substation where Elaine?s shop is. BECAUSE they miscalculated power needed for renovated shop units in Station Square! Shops can?t open til sorted. We need to pressure them for alternatives. And get our councillors on the job. BUT there?s another issue lurking in this. Network Rail committed to offering units to independent traders. HOWEVER they are only offering 3 year leases on unfitted shops i.e. NO loos, lights, sinks. Basically a non-starter for small traders. Cue ? large chains come in to fill ? We really need our local councillors to get to the bottom of the whole thing. So we don?t lose shops we love and get lumbered with ones no one wants!!

The council are inept bandits. My daughter had a bill for the same amount and all I could see that had changed was common parts lighting and a new front door. You'll be subsidising the council tenants who pay nish

I have a car load of grubby pillows and duvets. Any idea how to dispose of them?

Nothing to see here

I found some old pix

Very interesting. I hereby capitulate

In purely military terms, don't get into a fight unless you intend to win it

Laugh? I nearly shat

Sorry nl I didn't realise you were in charge

Is northlondoner a Northerner?
