intexasatthe moment

One of the things that drives me mad is that if you figure a way to sneak up on the site ( like entering the application number as opposed to clicking on a link ) you can sometimes squeeze some information out . But only sometimes ,and I think a lot of stuff is archived .

I wonder who would be the appropriate person to ask about this ? I find it so annoying ,it sort of teases you ,you think it's going to work ( and sometimes it does ! ) and then it doesn't . Sorry ,not v good description .Don't know any technical terms ! Broken seems a good one though .

Have just come back from Lidls and it looked to me that the damage has been mainly confined to nos 62 and that the rest of the group ,58 and 60 are ok...

Is there a reason why this site so often doesn't work properly - why these Error Unable to perform this task. A remote exception occurred. messages are so common ? Why things take so long to load and then time out ? Could it be a problem at my end or do others experience the same ? I find it so frustrating ,half the time it's pointless wasting time trying to look something up .

I think by the time the appeal was heard ,much had changed .Including the ratio of retail shops . My point was how tenacious and succesful large businesses are against planning authorities .

With regard to reassurances re Londis not becoming another coffee shop because planning ensures a balance is retained on the high street ....wasn't Costa's initial application for 8 Lordship Lane to move from a retail shop to become a coffe shop refused ? And then didn't they apply on basis of only doing take away coffee ? And weren't they finally succesful in getting the change of use retrospectively ? I could be mistaken as I don't remember the details and there's not much on the planning site to refresh my memory only an old application 06/AP/0667 where change of use from retail to coffee shop was refused .

I don't think that's necessarily the case Rendel. RPC hasn't posted frequently on this thread and hasn't responded to various comments and questions raised . Perhaps they're doing their best not to get too drawn into an exchange and are focussing only on some aspects ? I don't know of course ,so probably pointless to speculate .

I think RPC and Rendel are agreeing that context is important when using words . So not that earth shattering really ,but good common ground . Where I can't see common ground is the conclusion drawn by Rendel from RPC's "I used to have a friend who used your argument every time she described something low-quality using the horrible abbreviation for Pakistani or a derogatory term for traveller." that he is accused of being the same as someone saying "P" or "G". And ,although all kinds of personal remarks and judgements will no doubt be winging their way to me for saying this ,I do sometimes find the use of the word lunatic offensive .For example in the phrase about taking over the asylum .

Alan ,having looked at Thames water's website it looks as tho this is in hand .https://www.thameswater.co.uk/Help-and-Advice/Report-a-problem/Report-a-problem?type=leak "Reported Leak with potential traffic disruption SE22: Grove Vale Reference number: 31051623 Status : Planning We've completed our investigation on the leak on Grove Vale and raised the repair needed. We're continuning to work with the local council to plan the repair as quickly and safely as possible with minimal impact to local properties and public. Thanks for checking if we're aware of the leak. Find out more about the process of repairing a leak Traffic disruption Temporary traffic lights are in use at this location. We are very sorry for any disruption this may cause and ask motorists to bear with us while we carry out this essential work. Repairing road surfaces Any repairs to the road surface may take longer as we will need to liaise with the relevant local authority". I think traffic control may delay things .

Oh do be quiet Rendel . Your constant derailing of threads to take offence is getting boring . "nobody finds offensive except in one context " it appears that you now feel entitled to speak for everyone .

Ilona ,I think the Nippon bait stations are going to be the way to go https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stop-Bait-Station-Individual-contains/dp/B00757QH62/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_86_bs_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WVVEKQWZHRXS9RQJE2NN

Well done kristen ,do hope the dog is found and reunited .Good on you for trying to help .

I spend a lot of time imagining the streets years ago . Looking at old census returns is fascinating as they give details of occupants and their employment . At the beginning of the census entry they sometimes describe the route taken ,I found a lovely one in the Bellenden /Choumert Rd area which referred to crossing a ditch on the edge of a field . And I've never forgotten ( tho not sure I can correctly convey it here ) a remark made by a lovely Suffolk born boyfriend on visiting this area back in the 70's which was along the lines of "think of all the fields under these streets ".

excellent advice Nicola !

They look 1920's/30's to me ,tho I'm not sure I could say what leads me to that view! I know you're looking for a style/name but maybe dating would help ? http://www.bricksandbrass.co.uk/houseage/house_dating_tool.php

From above link As a reminder of why we are protesting: Safety: 36 riders died on London?s streets in 2016. Initial, invalidated numbers suggest this has increase in 2017. We want schemes that put motorcyclists at risk such as lane narrowing and painted cycle lanes to stop and policies such as use of bus lanes to be consistently applied in all boroughs across London and across the UK Security: Theft of motorcycles & scooters and scooter enabled theft has reached epidemic levels within London. Over 16,000 motorcycles & scooters were stolen last year, a significant increase year on year. Criminals operate with impunity and our police forces are starved of funds and have their hands tied by fear of the IPCC. We need investment in prevention, detection and investigation capability to close these gangs down for good and we need policies that allow the police forces to chase & apprehend these criminals while at the same time ensuring sentencing is a true deterrent. We also want more secure parking to be provided by the boroughs in London. More and more insurance companies are pricing themselves out of London coverage leading many riders unable to afford to fund their means of commuting. Cost: Motorcycles & Scooters riders are happy to pay their way in proportionate costs. With the introduction of the (Ultra Low Emission Zone) ULEZ charge, older motorcycles & scooters will have to pay the same tariff as cars (?12.50 per day) This is despite Transport for London?s own data showing that motorcycles & scooters contribute less than 1% of the pollution in London. Adding this to the issues of insurance highlighted above, motorcycles & scooter riders are having to pay more and more to get to work.

I've always just released mine outside .I know you're meant to take them some distance but it seemed to work .I guess if they're just popping in to your place as opposed to nesting and you've deployed the peppermint oil .it should be ok .

Yes to peppermint oil . These humane traps work well https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beat-Pest-Metal-Multi-Mouse/dp/B00K5T013M/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1521475302&sr=8-20&keywords=humane+mouse+trap I've seen then somewhere locally - DIY shop up at Plough ? Shop on Lordship Lane near Celestial shop ? Actually I have caught mice using a cardboard shoe box with a small entrance hole cut in one corner .Mice like to run around the edge of the room ,sticking close to the skirting board and they will run into a dark hidey hole like a box ,and stay in it if it has shredded newspaper and bait - yres to peanut butter .

I believe it was scheduled for 2.30 DHFC statement " Helen Hayes MP's adjournment debate on our situation scheduled for 2:30pm in the House of Commons on Friday (16th)," http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/news/club-statement-15032018-2216519.html

I've lived here since 1951 and have racked what is left of my brains and can't recall anything . Out of interest roughly what years would the person have worked there ?
