All functions fully restored to card . So suspect Visa issues on Thursday as well as Friday .
-
"front wheel is angled outwards " is this really good advice ? Particularly in narrow roads where much squeezing past of vehicles goes on . The trouble with assumed poor parking is that it needs to be witnessed while taking place .Otherwise who knows what the state of play was when the car was left and what changes in car positioning have taken place .
-
Interesting . I had my card declined on Thursday late afternoon but was thinking this was a seperate issue to the outage declared on Friday .
-
"then just say that's the end of the matter" not that that's what was said . There's a difference between saying I don't want to continue discussing this on line and saying that's the end of the matter . Matters are dealt with ,life continues outside social media .Particularly if you've taken to heart warnings that this is exactly the kind of dispute that should not be discussed here.

It might take a while to investigate - I've no idea of staff involved or if they were working yesterday or had finished their shift before investigations could be made . I can't remember the detail but the description of events included JellyB's wife catching sight of the paperwork listing bookings and seeing only a few/lots of gaps .Who knows ,perhaps the book wasn't up to date and whoever is responsible for that wasn't around ? Would one of the C&G's first thoughts be "gosh ,better check out the EDF to see if there's a thread on this ? " And ,if they did so ,would they necessarily decide that the best thing to do would be to post ?
-
I believe the events that JellyB complained about only took place yesterday afternoon ? Could be wrong . Guessing that it might take a little time for staff to investigate and decide on action ,if any . I can see why it might be thought that they should go public with the outcome but it may be that they decide not to . As for JellyB - he/she has said that they want to draw a close to this thread .I know you feel differently RH . Who knows ,perhaps JB posted this thread in haste and has thought better of taking to Twitter . Maybe they've been in contact with Admin . I'm not going to assume that because they don't want to continue this on line that their orginal post about the lunch time events wasn't genuine or that the C&G aren't investigating and dealing .

Jellyb says "I don't wont to continue with this thread and want to draw a close to this matter." Rendel says "No mate, you don't get to say that" but accuses Alice of self righteously telling people off and acting as unoffical Admin.
-
Oh Rendel do stop it . I agree with a lot of your posts ,some I don't . Are you really going to fall back on the "personal feud " winge everytime I disagree with you ? And for the edification of other readers ( if there are any ) the "hate " thread Rendel refers to was me asking him to stop sending PM's . He had sent me a PM ,I had replied asking him not to PM me and he then promptly sent me another . Admin quite rightly deleted the thread - it was no more than a personal interchange between posters .
-
I agree with your points Joe . Just feel that jellyb posted in haste while reeling from what they felt had happened . Not wise but something I understood .
-
"And while we're here, why do you think you're some sort of unofficial admin? Make your points, stop the self-righteous telling off of others please." hilarious comment from RH who can happily tell other posters what they can't say and how they're not allowed to stop posting on a thread . rendelharris Yesterday, 10:56PM Jellybeanz Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I don't wont to continue with this thread and want > to draw a close to this matter. No mate, you don't get to say that. You've accused a respected local business of refusing custom to people on the basis of their ethnicity. Back it up or apologise.
-
Well I was ,of course ,excluding you from that remark RH . I don't want to deprive you of yet another opportunity to express moral outrage .

If someone is a long term poster it allows ppl to form an opinion ,based on their posts ,as to whether that poster has form for being over sensitive ,always diving in to stir things up for the sake of it ,aggresive ,ridiculous ,bee in their bonnet etc . I read the OP's description of events ,the amount of detail and balanced tone led me to believe that something had s gone seriously wrong . The OP gave credit where it was due and referred to one of the managers as intervening in a helpful way and that a further response from the pub was awaited . I didn't read later posts by the OP - perhaps they weren't balanced or calm .But from the description of what happened I can understand how he/his wife drew the conclusions they did .Possibly the conclusions were incorrect ,but we weren't in their shoes and I can see how deeply upset the OP/her husband would be .Upset enough to loose their cool and go on to post incautious posts . Cut them some slack .

Forum under cyber attack?
intexasatthe moment replied to Penguin68's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Admin - do you want ppl to report ? Or does that just mean you get loads of reports as well ? ( I've only just realised that I should post on the rogue thread to let others know that it's been reported .) -

IME objections re parking and increased traffic will carry little weight . There is a need and desire to reduce use of cars and the site has great access to bus and trains . So I wouldn't devote too much time to that in objections . In the covering letter there is discussion of what constitutes a building .I don't understand ( and haven't tried ) to understand the point being argued but assume it's significant and a grey area . Copying below for those with more knowledge to comment "Two question arise: a) The first is whether the word ?building? contained in paragraph P.1(d) includes part of a building. If it does, the fact that the ?building? being proposed under Class P is part of a larger building would be irrelevant; in these circumstances, so long as the part being considered is below 500 metres, the criterion would be satisfied. b) The second issue is whether, if the word ?building? means only a single, whole building and not part of it. Whether ?building? within paragraph P.1(d) includes part of the building In my view, the phrase ?building? in paragraph P.1(d) includes part of a building. It requires, therefore, that the part of the building being proposed for use under Class P be below 500 metres. As a result, in this case, paragraph P.1(d) is not contravened. My reasons are as follows. First, paragraph P.1(d) must be read consistently with both the 2015 Order as a whole and the permission granted by Class P. ?Building? is defined in the Order (as it is in s. 336(1) of the 1990 Act) as including part of a building. On the face of it, therefore, Class P is capable of applying to part of a building. There is nothing within the wording of the permission in Class P to suggest that a different approach is taken in that Class. Indeed, that is consistent with the position on an application for planning permission under s. 62 of the 1990 Act. Applications for a material change of use can made to change the use of part of a building (for example, a dwelling house or flat into two separate flats). Moreover, other classes under Part 3 (see, for example, part M) patently allow for applications to be made which would change the use of part of the building; they use the phrase ?the development (together with any previous development under Class M) would result in more than 150 square metres of floor space in the building having changed use under Class M?. Part 3 clearly envisages that a permission will extend to part of the site. Since the permission itself is granted in respect of part of a building, paragraph P.1(d) would have to be 5 construed as applying a different and more restrictive definition of ?building? to the main provisions within Class P. In my view, that is unlikely. Indeed, the definition within the 2015 Order of ?building? specifically excludes the inclusion of part of the building in respect of certain Classes and did not take that opportunity in respect of either paragraph P.1(d) or Class P as a whole. An alternative would have been to make clear that the paragraph related to a whole building only rather than part of the building ? that step was not taken. Class P?s provisions are, therefore, capable of operating in respect of changes of use of part of a building as much as a whole building (e.g. the use for warehouse and storage for a particular period). As a result, in my view, if the change of use in question relates to part of a building, paragraph (d) applies its restriction to the part in question. "

If I were you I'd look through Southwark's Residential Design Guide Supplementary Design Guide http://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/planning-policy-and-transport-policy/supplementary-planning-documents-spd/spd-by-planning-topic?chapter=5 It contains lots of requirements which I think are not met in this application eg For major residential development (those over 10 units) does the development? ? Have at least 60% of units suitable for three or more occupants containing two or more bedrooms)? ? Include studio flats? If so are these limited to 5% of the total number of dwellings? Note that studio flats are not considered suitable for affordable housing provision. ? Include a minimum of 10% of units that are suitable for wheelchair users in line with guidance set out in section 2.10 of this SPD? ? Provide the minimum amount of family homes with direct access to private outdoor space as set out in sections 2.3, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4? I always find it difficult to find the most up to date Southwark documents but think this still applies . Feel sure that this application won't succed in it's current form but will be signficantly ammended .

AZH looking at Southwark's planning portal it seems that the Nutbrook St application for 3 houses was not rejected but granted . See the decision notice here http://planbuild.southwark.gov.uk/documents/?casereference=16/AP/5181&system=DC With regard to access for fire engines IME this is routinely accepted by planning depts as not needed if fire hydrants and sprinklers are installed . So installing a fire hydrant near the building means that the fire brigade can deal with a fire even though they can't get an engine next to the building . ( my understanding ,happy to be corrected by those more knowledgeable )

Bellenden Road gridlock - bridge replacement
intexasatthe moment replied to ed_pete's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I noticed a sign at the junction of Bellenden and Peckham Rd ,near Lidls ,last week . But I'm guessing this wouldn't have been seen by people using Lyndhurst Grove /Lyndhurst Way to join Bellenden Rd further south by Ganapati . So possibly poor signage rather than unplanned works ? Certainly caused major problems on Peckham Rd . -
Bellenden Road gridlock - bridge replacement
intexasatthe moment replied to ed_pete's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
The nos 12 buses were in a pickle earlier this evening - it took 3 seperate 12s to travel from Lidls to beyond Nigel Rd as all 3 had their destinations changed and curtailed . Plus lots of police activity . -
Hay fever onset today (Bank Holiday Monday 7 May)

I have heard that it more effective to take anti histamines daily throughout the /whichever pollen season . So prophylactically as opposed to popping one when in the throes of itchyness . -
Do you want Controlled Parking YES or NO
intexasatthe moment replied to James Barber's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I've avoided asking this as I fear highlighting my stupidity in some areas but...if you're looking at car A and car B and thinking "gosh what a big gap" how do you know that when car A ( or B ) was first parked they were close to an adjacent car which has subsequently driven off ? -
Ilona I feel your pain . Odd to have flying ants when it's been so cold ,but I guess if you them indoors they presumably are coming from a source indoors . Google suggests peppermint oil for spraying on the flying ones Make a natural peppermint spray.[2] Peppermint oil kills flying ants via suffocation. You can mix peppermint oil with water and soap in a spray bottle to create your own natural aerosol insecticide. Combine one part liquid soap and with two parts water in a spray bottle, then add several drops of peppermint essential oil. Mix well to combine. Spray this solution on any flying ants you see, either at rest or in flight. or just washing up liquid Spray the ants with dish soap. Dish soap alone is effective against flying ants since it sticks to the ants' bodies and dehydrates them to death. To make a solution that you can easily use to attack flying ants, dilute the dish soap with water inside a standard spray bottle. Fill a bottle with water and add a few squirts of liquid dish soap. Mix well so that the soap is evenly distributed throughout the water. Spray winged ants in flight or at rest when you see them. and these methods for getting to the nest Set a trap using baking soda and powdered sugar. Baking soda is another material that can kill ants. By mixing it with powdered sugar, you mask the odor and cause flying ants to take it back to the queen and to the nest. The ants that eat it will die. The baking soda reacts with an acidic substance ants naturally carry around inside for the sake of protection. When the baking soda mixes with this acid, a violent reaction develops and kills the ants as a result. or Kill the ants with artificial sweetener. Certain types of artificial sweetener are extremely toxic to ants, yet the sweet scent is often enough to lure them in. The artificial sweetener gets carried back to the queen and to the nest, and all the ants that consume it die off. Aspartame, in particular, is known for acting as a neurotoxin to ants. Mix a little artificial sweetener with some apple juice, adding just enough apple juice to form a paste. The ants will eat some of this paste and carry some back to the rest of the colony. Once consumed there, the ant population will dwindle. Go girl ,you can do it !
