Yeah ,leave Louisa in peace !

Lilolil so glad your son got his bike back .don't suppose he got his tools back as well ? Did Caesi01 track the bike down ?

"My sense is that while its jolly nice for the local residents, its a huge inconvenience and negatively impacting far more people than it positively impacts. I strongly support reopening the bridge as soon as possible." Well put .

James I'm not sure who you're correcting about Camberwell Grove being a main road but I'm not sure the introduction of road classifications is helpful here . A and B road classifications don't seem to help the layperson when thinking about the importance of a route .My reading is that the volume of traffic would determine a roads designation as a B road rather than it's width etc .So I guess at present Lyndhurst Grove might be considered to be more of a B road ( main road in your view ? ) than Camberwell Grove because it's currently carrying more traffic than the latter . "B roads are numbered collector routes, which have lower traffic densities than the main trunk roads, or A roads. This classification has nothing to do with the width or quality of the physical road, and B roads can range from dual carriageways to single track roads with passing places." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain_road_numbering_scheme

But Camberwell Grove is straight ,fairly wide , with property set well back from a road lined with mature trees . It is a direct North South route .To my mind it is more suitable route for traffic than narrower roads with their bends and junctions and houses set closer to the traffic .

But 2 or 3 miles over a 30mph limit will trigger points and a fine or speede awareness course .

"5mph above a 70mph limit on a motorway will not normally result in a prosecution for speeding, 5mph above a 30mph limit in a residential area could quite easily get you a ticket" You may not get a ticket or points but you may well get invited to choose between a fine +points and paying to go on a speed awareness course and no points when I went on a speed awareness course much effort was made to dispel the myth that if you're only driving a few miles over the limit that no action would result . we were all invited to share the speed we were quoted as doing when ticket ,one poor bloke had twice been ticket for doing 33mph in a 30mph zone ,in the same spot . so you may wish to

"and yet most people are unwilling > to cut back on contributing to said problem, or to > support measures encouraging or compelling others > to cut back?" What is the above based on ? Sorry if I've missed it . What are the measures that I'm not supporting ?

I have responded and indicated a wish ( we're not voting here ,it's a consultation ) for it to be reopened . It's a nice straight road ,good visibilty and width .Most of the properties are set well back from the road with mature trees affording additional screening from pollution and noise . It's a much more suitable route for traffic than the current diversion down narrow heavily parked side streets .

Asbury you make a number of good points . Your neighbour must be flush ,it's not cheap to have a dropped kerb done .Though probably enhances value of property and avoid any future CPZ charges . It's my understanding ( happy to be corrected ) that people can park across a dropped curbif they have the permission of the hoseholder . "Driveways that serve a single property If there's no enforceable yellow line, you can park close to this type of driveway without penalty. We only enforce if the occupier of the property makes a specific request. If you're having problems with vehicles obstructing your driveway, you can request free dropped kerb enforcement by contacting [email protected]. You can also call 0207 708 8610 or 020 7708 8587. Our hours of removal operations are 08.30 to 18.30 Monday to Saturday (subject to change). Outside these times, we may dispatch mobile patrol units to issue the PCN."http://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/guide-to-parking/dropped-kerbs-and-driveways?chapter=3 and http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/18/section/86 It looks as though Southwarks plan to put yellow lines either side of any new dropped kerbs has been ....dropped . Anyone know for sure ?

what Broco said -)

The Nat West in Peckham has this facilty .

Qwik Print in Maxted Rd are very helpful and nice .Might be worth asking them ? http://quick-print.org.uk/

Maybe Whateley Rd ?

Indoors .If outside store locked to something secure in a generic or custum made shed .

Hazel I've found with searching records that people don't show up on the 1939 register .Maybe people consciously avoided being recorded ? On a seperate note although any help might also benefit Hazel - can anyone give advice on searching old copies of the electoral roll ? Digitally there seems no central records from about 1932 onwards .Is it they are regionalised so one has to search under specific parliamentary areas /geographic regions ? London seems to be fairly well recorded but other areas less so .

My son used them for his um is it called tower ? computer .They were very good .And helpful .And local .

Yes ,that's my experience ,Especially during school holidays .It's one of the reasons I use Modern Computers in the OKR .

"He is blocking the road, off street parking." do you mean he puts bins in the road thus blocking access to off street parking ?

Good point ianr .There's normally something about painting the exterior ,window frames etc .

I've used Modern Computers on OKR and Net Quest . I prefer Modern Computers - they repaired a laptop which Net Quest couldn't help with and are open normal hours . I agree though that Christian is lovely .And helpful .

It's the most temperamental I know .Drives me crazy.

bagpuss - I know this is not the point of your post ,so please forgive me but I feel the need to understand "Also bring a teacher their cover stations or rather shoutastations are really annoying to hear." what does it mean ? And you truly have my sympathy - teaching is ,in my book ,a horrendous job .It's the end of term ,you have a two year old and you live cheek by jowl in this crowded area . The usual advice is ,as I'm sure you know ,to have a word with the neighbours .

PR to St Pancras .And allow LOTS of time to walk what feels like half a mile to actually board the train .
