That's interesting Seabag . Isn't the tinnitus worse with the ear plugs in ? It's common isn't it for it be worse when things are quiet ,hence the background noise treatment . I have tinnitus .I hate it sometimes .

If you don't respect yourself no one else will .

Another vote for charity shops ,they often run out .

Thanks but I'm still not clear on the number of hemeless people that were being cited as at the pub and/or camping .

No offense sillywoman . My small mind ,I always associate Scotch Corner with Darlington where I have relatives .

Just re reading the Dulwich Society report of the meeting . " The Council should deal with the homeless people who were now using the site." "The potential for an increase in crime in the area with people camping in the garden" Were there a number of homeless people there ? Is the remark about camping in the garden suggesting that IF people camped there might be an increase in crime or the people camping there might lead to an increase ? Has there been people camping there ?

Scotch corner ? sillywoman the crane being discussed here is on the old Dulwich Hospital site in SE22 .Are you thinking of another one ?

macuted I'm with you on this ,I'm glad that someone is keeping an eye on it and not assuming that someone else will . My remark was meant to be addressed at kibris ( who from other posts would find a natural home on a the tiny things thread) and dog duck .Clearly both have no idea of what constitutues public spirit .And clearly it hasn't occured to either of them not to read a thread if they think it's trivial .

Isn't there a special thread for posters who are p*ssed off ? Tiny little things that cause me rage ,or some such title ?

It's hard to know what to do in a situation like this .I wondered if ringing the police is a correct course of action ...but I guess not . What do people think ?

hs - there's this post in the general section Re: homeless man Posted by jclarke Today, 08:20AM Hi I went to see him Christmas morning and take a parcel. Apparently when he came back Christmas eve he found his shelter had been on fire. The fire brigade attended and put out the fire, but all his belongings and bedding were either burnt or wet. Not sure whether it was done maliciously or by him accidentally, as he does smoke. His shelter is now exposed to the elements and the space is a mess. While I was there a couple arrived who seem to look after him. They were taking him to their home for Christmas dinner. Another person arrived with a chocolate Christmas log. Is there any handymen out there who could help him rebuild his shelter and provide tarpaulin? He also needs clothes and bedding.

blah blah -stop derailing the thread and start your own to pronounce what you dictate constitutes rudeness ,Good user name though .

Beautiful Christmassy stencil on the small St Christopher's Hospice shop window.

I can't believe that all 4 drivers are guilty of knowing they'd hit someone and failing to stop.

Difficult and emotive . Like others I have personal experience of life saving care for an acute condition . But ,also like others ,I have had bad experience when it comes to chronic and non life threatening care .

Where does dropping chewing gum come in to the scheme of things ? In my book a worse offence .

Sorry - who is DCP ?

On a wool carpet I used baking soda ( does that have bicarb in it ? ) mixed with cold water into a paste and allowed to dry .to remove cat diarreah . If that's any help .

Please no flashing lights .

Or even better grasscrete ( or similar ) and use that empty semi circle as a car park and thus benefit the local community .

No suggestion that the application was for homeless housing or Mon - Friday workers . Just musing that it might be a good idea if it were .
