A word of advice. Many charities will not take furniture that has no fire safety labels attached

Maybe he should set up an easel and do a L.S. Lowry: There's one in the Tate called 'Coming Out of School'

Nothing to do with the postal service but this is enlightening https://www.secularism.org.uk/news/2020/09/rethink-relations-with-jehovahs-witnesses-committees-nss-urges-nhs

I always check the jetstream forecast in the summer as I go camping and it is very accurate as if the jetstream is north of the UK we get fine dry weather https://www.netweather.tv/charts-and-data/jetstream Other than that it's the barometer for me

I agree- it is a nice table. As for workmen in your house I think they are carrying on as usual- social distancing applies, washing hands, no symptoms

The company in this link- Countrywide provide indemnity policies against regrowth as well https://www.whatmortgage.co.uk/news/insurance/homeowners-can-now-get-insurance-japanese-knotweed/#:~:text=Countrywide%20Legal%20Indemnities'%20new%20policy,from%20a%20knotweed%20treatment%20specialist&text=repair%20and%20restoration%20costs%20for,by%20the%20spread%20of%20knotweed. I looked them up because out vendors took out policies with them for other weird things

Jogging was banned in France as was outdoor exercise back in April. I thought it was odd at the time but after a few 'run-ins' with joggers I could understand it.

If you use the Camberwell Branch it is closed until 15th November for refurbishment.

Oh well we could wait until the next election

I went to crystal Palace Park frequently when we were allowed to travel to exercise after easing of the lockdown this year.. The dinosaurs looked fine! They are dinosaurs aren't they?

having two roads with the same name is insane for a start!

Paying for bus fares also encourages people to look closer to home for a school so that their child/teen can walk

Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen...consciously or unconsciously

I asked a barperson in Camden months ago when he refused to refill my used glass - he said that germs could transfer from the glass to the tap....and that was before Covid...so no-one will refill especially now- they use clean cups, glasses etc

This happened at 3.30pm i.e. broad daylight -in September and yet we are not informed until a MONTH later... pathetic- how are we supposed to take precautions when we don't know these things especially since we are not allowed to defend ourselves properly

If you read what I said you will have seen that there is an example of a bunch of blokes between 40 and 50 who didn't care either. And if you are blaming Dominic Cummings then that is stupid because HIS escapade (27th March) was blown out of all proportion by the lefty media twats...what about Tahir Ali- an ACTUAL MP attending 2 funerals on the same day (2nd April) near Birmingham where about 100 people met at one- the comparison is absolute PROOF that the media are completely stupidly biased- you only had to have watched the briefings and see Kuenssberg and that Sky woman Beth Rigby- both of them had contempt for Boris oozing out of their pores....and they both looked like bulldogs chewing wasps and asked stupid questions that had been answered before they even showed themselves.

Positive discrimination has been happening in the public sector and elsewhere since at least 1989 anyway

Since day 1 there are lots of people NOT following the rules. Groups of teenagers hiding in the memorial garden of Alleyn's Field groups of teens playing football and close tackling. Loads of teenagers hiding under the large cedars in Greenwich park- it was to avoid being spotted by the helicopters over Blackheath I expect. There was a large group outside the house near the corner of Townley road during lockdown just all sitting outside on chairs. Short of doing what other countries have done where the cops have dragged people into their homes I don't know what else Boris could do. He gives out the facts and figures and WE all see the graphs and the deaths etc etc but the vast majority don't watch the briefings and think only over 65s get it so who cares- . I stayed in a B and B in July for 4 nights and there were a group of about 10 men aged from about 40 to 50 and they were all sitting around drinking in one small pool room which was the actual ONLY route out to the bedrooms because of the covid restrictions there.... It was obvious from the start- once they said young people wouldn't die of it, that the oldies were sick and would clog up the NHS- that all the rest had carte blanche to carry on and with all the PAID time on their hands they made the most of it. We haven't got the enforcement in the UK and the cops are completely impotent given the ridiculous attitude of the civil rights brigade. Sadiq Khan doesn't even know what's going on in his own city - he demands a lockdown...yeah, and is HE going to enforce it?

there are large containers of it periodically dumped in the back streets around here!
