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.

Blimey Malumbu ,I've got loads of little jobs if you're struggling to fill your time.........

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 ?

steve0b thanks for that link ,that's really good to know!

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 .

I wasn't entirely serious James ! But never mind draconian parking enforcement ,has ordinary parking enforcement been tried ? Are FPN being issued ?

How interesting . Do you know any other details ? Did a railway company hope to run a line through there and then didn't go ahead ?

I agree ,well done Ruby . But honestly they couldn't care less could they ? I suppose it won't be long before Townley Rd will simply be closed off at Dovercourt and absorbed into the school grounds .

Interesting ,could well work .Though 47 seems a bit excessive . Wonder if fewer dorm beds and some ensuite single rooms might cater for people working in London during the week .

" illegally and dangerously parked, with their engines running that needs to be addressed." what I don't understand is why oh why aren't the existing remedies for this ( parking enforcement/police ) sufficient ?

It'll be bounced out of the way .

I don't understand why there isn't a traffic warden presence .

Michelle just wanted to say thanks for being proactive and talking to the manager ,best way to get things sorted .
