Hi Saw an article about these guys, straws are named and coloured after London tube lines https://paperstrawslondon.com/

What does that mean? the fact he has a Germanic name?

Maybe quite a few people in a number of departments in the borough need a kick up the arse. The barriers that have been put up are inadequate as it is likely to fall into the road. It should be scaffolded immediately or half of the road closed off.

Hi It was several months ago, it was only when i passed last week that i noticed it had markedly shifted outwards. I dont think new the barriers are sufficient as the panel will clearly fall onto the pavement and possibly into the road. it is shifting on a daily basis and i think it could come down at any time. Best Mick

slightly worrying though as the panel above the bay will clearly fall outwards and will most likely land on the pavement.

If you think its a danger, notify Southwark Building Control, it is there duty to at least assess it and take action if necessary

Great, thanks for that, also learned a new trick on the forum today, thanks for that too!

Hi I reported it as a dangerous structure, the council are empowered to either enforce action by the owner or take remedial action themselves and charge the owner: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/building-control/dangerous-structures 'We have statutory duties to deal with dangerous structures under the London Local Authorities Act 2000 and the London Building Acts (Amendment) Act 1939, to ensure that all structures within the borough which are considered dangerous are made safe with the shortest possible delay.'

Sorry, rubbish photos, heres a blown up set to show how precarious that brick panel is:

Just a quick warning to maybe avoid walking past this house on CPR, i think it is no. 234 but im not sure, its between pellatt and rodwell. I notified Southwark some months ago, but it would appear not a lot has been done, it has got steadily worse and seems to be deteriorating by the day and looks like the bricks could fall onto the pavement any day now. I would cross the road!

Happy to DM you a quote

Just such a shame that the opportunity to put a quality architectural solution in a very prominent point on Lordship Lane is being spurned. Reminds me of the Harris Primary debacle.

Allan from AGM Carpets is brilliant and v reasonable. 07956 556440

Anyone else experiencing A power cut in Goodrich road area ?

James Perhaps it would be an idea to move the platforms at Loughborough Junction so that an it can serve both lines therby increasing connectivity and reducing the pressure on, or replacing Denmark hill with a larger more accessible station. Would happily discuss our ideas with you in person if you would like. Mick

Hi I'm looking for a Handyman decorator to do tiling and odd jobs to a good standard at my 'slightly unfinished' house and three other properties that need intermittent maintenance. Current jobs needed, stair treads and woodwork painting, tiled skirting to bathrooms, general woodwork, some electrical/ lighting dimmers etc. Can be really flexible with time. Please DM me or call 07961329967 Cheers Mick

Would like to add to the good reviews of Barney, rubbish cleared on the day of the phone call, for a very reasonable rate.

Hi We are a small architecture firm based near London Bridge (ED based director ie me!)that has been operating since 1998 and are nearing completion on a hopefully direction changing project. We are looking for someone to help us with our marketing/PR, social media, press etc. Perhaps this would suit someone heading back to work after a childcare break. Initially we would be looking for someone to help us part time or on a consultancy basis. Please PM me for details. Thanks Mick

Thanks all for your replies and PM's. We have asked NPIT (recommended elsewhere in the forum) Best Mick

Hi We are a small firm of local Architects and really need some network/ server/ IT help. Does anyone know of a friendly knowledgeable IT person who could help? Thanks Mick

difficult to know whether a closed case is empty or not, it looked a bit like a musical instrument case, though it was dark

if you shave your head, you are bald. No?

Disturbed a bald white guy trying to stash a large case behind my bike shed at 2am last night. Afterwards he scooted off towards Friern Road on his bike taking his large black case with him. No sign of anything else suspicious. Keep 'em peeled

This forum has been great for us, having taken on two fantastic members of staff, we have the pleasure of being in the position to be looking again. We are looking for an architect, again who values flexibility, who would like to join us with a view to running medium sized/ large residential refurbishments. All of the above still applies. If you're interested, please send a CV to [email protected] or if you would just like a chat about it you can call Mick on 07961 329 967

We regularly use Alan from AGM carpets, very friendly and reasonable. 07956556440
