Thanks Sue .I was asking for a friend in Bristol who's doing her floorboards . But not doing the internet ,or only doing it through me !

Zebedee - having had a quick look at this ,I'm wondering why no measurements were quoted to substantiate the planning officer's conclusion that the development would not result in a loss of less than 50% of what they call amenity space which they equate with the rear garden . And ,not that it would help your case but I thought it was 50% of land around the orginal house ? I share your concern about the lack of knowledge /professionalism at these meetings .

Oh ,thanks for mentioning that!

Thank you guys . I'm tending towards Osmo .

Lovely ,I knew I'd get help on here ! Friend says she wants to keep them looking natural but "sort of enriched " .So I'm thinking she wants to achieve some kind of patina ( but not shiny ) added back .If that makes any sense . Ultra - does that give a glossy finish ? red devil - interesting .That was one of the ones that stood out for me when I googled .

Asking for a friend .She wants something that sinks in rather than a paint or varnish that goes on top . Some kind of oil ? Have had a quick google and there's an awful lot to choose from - any recommendations ? Floors are in kitchen and bathroom ,no small children or toys or pets .

Could be ...? But not really sunny today . And never seen it before .Though guess reduced tree canopy might be partly a factor .

Sorry curious/nosey .Besides it does my head in every time I look out of window or stand doing washing up . Wrong position for Star of Bethleham ?

oh ,good points rendel! Never even considered the chefs and bottlewashers .I think I'll just stop eating out .

In such cases does anyone know how that service charge is used ? Would it be divied up between waiting staff or go direct to owners ?

I imagine closed as crowd control . Peckham Rye station had notices up yesterday advising they would close if necessary to prevent dangerous overcrowding .

Denmark Hill/Peckham Rye to Victoria is SouthEastern . So no doubt rammed but running . http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/static/documents/content/SET%20Network%20Map.pdf

Thank you Taper .

I'm not a follower of football but Mr Texas tells me it all ended in tears today . So I've logged on hoping to read all about it .... but there are no threads .

Penguin I've been thinking that . Poor nanny/au pair hope she's not reading all this .After all she did thwart the alleged "perp" .

You don't need to be on twitter .They'll update you by calling your landline or texting your mobile .

I can understand your frustration . Would definitely phone HO to get chapter and verse .I imagine they would accomodate you if you committed to a regular purchase say every 4 weeks of 56 cartons but probably not if you irregularly buy all the stock .Would cause dissatisafaction from other customers who sometimes can't buy it . MUCH more concerned by your breakdown "service" . Horrific ,death and injury could have resulted .

I agree with Louisa ,though I might express my views less ,um ,strongly . And when I struggled pushing a wheelchair it was NEVER the trees I minded .I'd sacrifice a little inconvience over keeping trees anyday .Though w/c users amd less able w/c pushers might have a different experience . Don't get me started on wheely bins left all over the pavement though .

"Thames Water ‏@thameswater 1h1 hour ago Sorry to customers #SE22/#SE23 with no water. This is due to a burst pipe in the area. A repair has been arranged to go ahead ASAP"

I went past this earlier today .Shocked at the amount of water . A motorbike policeman was photographing .No workmen present .Thames Water repairing tonight if I'm reading their site correctly .

Can't help ,but very much feeling your pain and hoping someone will step forward and provide the assistance you need .

is it a) something to do with that situation you get when there are 2 or 3 buses all stopped at the same bus stop ? and it's hard to know whether you wait at the bus stop or walk down past 2 stationary buses to get to the one you want at the rear ??? or b) something to do with the 12s waiting in Etherow St before they start their shift and drive down Barry Rd ?

The lovely Colin has just finished a small job for me .Came round at short notice and figured out a way to do something that had defeated other lesser mortals . I've not found all the recommendations on this forum live up to the hype - but Colin does .Great guy .

James - makes no sense to me that S'wark only rank a road as being under parking pressure if it's got a CPZ .Which is the officers statement in the planning report . Even if that's just a badly worded way of saying that the residents haven't asked for a CPZ therefore there is no parking pressure ( which seems to be what you're suggesting ) that still makes no sense . Asking for a CPZ doesn't equate to there being a parking problem .
