Thanks for that Brulysses.90,652 and rising

So ,I'm calling out the OP and everyone posting on this thread because it's distracting from the fact that Boris Johnson has announced his intention to suspend Parliament . https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49493632

Use of so has become ubiquitous .

I can't abide the use of "call out" . It sounds so smug to me as if the "caller out" is doing us all a favour with some high minded discovery of wrong doing that they are nobly sharing with the world . Plus it always conjurs up ( to me ) the image of someone being summonsed to the front of a class room /meeting and being humiliated . It's a catch all use which dumbs down the language and strips it of nuance . What's wrong with "challenged" ,"held to account" ,or heaven forfend the kinder "asked to explain ".

cella a lot of third party sites come up when you search Land Reg and they do have higher charges . Make sure you use the GOV.UK one https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/land-registry

From link above ** UPDATE 23rd August** Case Officer Wing Lau has closed down the commenting system for the planning application 4 days early. When questioned, she stated that it was possible to enter comments but on a different website address. This new URL is not linked to from the planning application page so no-one will know it exists. It also does not have any of the other comments appearing there. The main planning homepage on Southwark?s website wrongly informs people to use the ?old? planning register for planning application 19/AP/1867 but in fact the new comments section is on the ?new? planning register. So not only have the council closed comments early, they have opened up a separate commenting section on an area of their website which contradicts what the planning page says. All of this happened on Friday afternoon before August bank holiday so there is no-one around to fix the mess before the new extended deadline of Tues 27th August is reached. Our advice now is to email your comments to [email protected] mentioning ref number 19/AP/1867. Ask for confirmation they have received it as the comments section on the ?old? page has not been updated for 10 days (since 13th August) so we cannot even be sure that comments being sent in are being logged.

I love Callows ,they give great advice,never try and sell you a new lock if the existing one can be sorted and v reasonable charges . useful to be made aware of scam .

"the councils planning portal seems to have made inaccessible older planning applications" this is a bugbear of mine .Has been like it a good while .

O2 or Tesco mobile which is O2 .

Not all leasehold flats have management companies ,some just have an individual freeholder .

I would love that to be the case Blackcurrant but it seems a little... um .... counter intuitive ?

Actually being honest here I'm asking because I'm interested in selling a property that requires refurbishment - new kitchen ,new bathroom ,new flooring ,new windows ,replastered ceilings ,unfinished loft room ,repainting etc - but I couldn't see anything comparable on the market to give me an idea of price .

Do these exist anymore ? I can only see stuff that's been chi chi ed up to within an inch of it's life .

Seabag - what a lovely idea ,my kind of place .

I'vejust googled this and see there are a number .Has anyone done this -ie had a charity collect books - and would recommend someone ?

"After a long and determined struggle we managed to get this for our street" dds29 was that in Southwark or where you lived previously ?

With Peckham now being trendy maybe it's a misguided attempt to ape the litter and filthy pavements of Rye Lane ?

Let us know outcome Foxy . Related to this - anyone know position re grease in food waste ? We are a v unhealthy household and I often scrape greasy left overs into food waste bin . What do ppl do with ,say, juices and fats from tray baked chicken thighs ? ( no I don't make chicken soup from left overs ) .

Aah , I thought it rang a bell - a scout campsite up near Dulwich College .If it weren't for the fact that groups of ppl will also be there I'd be envious . Have a lovely summer . https://southlondonscouts.org.uk/our-centre/explore-fort

where's the Fort ?

Thanks Rich ,that makes sense . Will proceed as advised ,would help if my eyes weren't bu****ed by hayfever !

Thanks both . Rich - my brother has photoshop and is trying to open the doc but is being asked for a password .Do you think the Land Registry whom provided the doc need to supply that ? Sigh . It's all a mystery to me .

Can anyone help ? It's a copy of deeds from Land Reg .Is handwritten in immaculate style but too faint and blurry to read .

Is that a secondary door at the side of your dwelling ? Or is it your main/front door ? I guess if it's down the side of the building it's a bit out of the main view .
