Bad luck if you live on an A road though .

I think Dovertheroad was being ironic ......

They've got some in Poundstretcher ( Peckham ,near Lidls ) at the moment http://www.poundstretcher.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=rubber+trugs might not be the most sturdy available ,guess it depends on their intended use .

Time for an update on the Southwark policy of installing double yellow lines either side of any new dropped kerb . I believe the last I heard was that it was to be dropped ( geddit ? ) for side roads but retained for roads like Barry Rd .

Deliveroo, I?m sure you care about your employees - I wonder if they do ? http://metro.co.uk/2016/08/11/deliveroo-drivers-strike-in-row-over-pay-6060741/

I know someone who does this but they're retired and not constrained by work or a need to be in any particular place .

Thank you SO much bobb ,I thought there must be somewhere !

I've tried sharpening mine - special gadget from Amazon http://www.eckman.co.uk/shop/p-859-shear-and-scissor-sharpener.html?utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_media=Product+Search&gclid=Cj0KEQjw6O-9BRDjhYXH2bOb8Z4BEiQAWRduk2k90QniUUE5nVDTTO1ckLpwgHui-KU2Xo3eRI5UB0caAqsX8P8HAQ and using a whetstone . But I have not succeded .Perhaps they're past it ? Is there anywhere that sharpens tools or do people just buy new ones ?

I hadn't really thought of it like that ,you have a point . But is it really just a simple question of offering something in exchange for cash ? I'm still tending towards thinking that it's a situation where someone is having to ask for money and that they'd rather not ,that they'd rather have regular employment or a pension . Though I guess there's a whole continuum ....those people who offer packets of tissue on trains ,the car wash people at Sainsbury's.

Not sure how to put this but ... when I saw her yesterday I thought ,oh no ,another person trying to get money on the street . A shameful and uncomfortable reminder of the state the world is in . I hate the thought ( but quite understand it ) that there are categories of beggars ,some seeming more attractive ( like this lady ) than others ( who maybe just sit on the pavement ).

After the Consort Rd and Linden Grove junction ,just before the green . Foreign reg plates ,all the windows broken in . In the middle of the road .No police tape .No one around . One traffic cone . Does anyone know what happened ?

I think some https://www.amazon.co.uk/Control-Mousetrap-Reusable-Humane-Catcher/dp/B00V2A2IE8/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1470250554&sr=8-6&keywords=mouse+trap+humane are more humane than others https://www.amazon.co.uk/Trixie-Mouse-Trap-4-5-17/dp/B000WFI866/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1470250554&sr=8-4&keywords=mouse+trap+humane but I guess they're both scary if you're a mouse .Though perhaps not as bad as the glue traps .

So he's weasled out of having to deal with the mess he helped to create .So he can keep his powder dry for a future attempt at PM . I almost admire his cunning .

From BBC news "Scottish National Party will today ask to be declared the official Oppositon at Westminster. They say their leader Angus Robertson enjoys more support than Jeremy Corbyn. There are 56 SNP MPs - but only 40 Labour MPs have expressed support for Mr Corbyn. They also say they are able to fill all the relevant shadow posts to the government, unlike Mr Corbyn. They point to Parliamentary rules which say the official Opposition must be "prepared to assume power." A source said: "We have looked at Erskine May (the Parliamentary rule book) and will put it to the Speaker that the Labour Party no longer meet obligations to remain as the official Opposition.""

Excellent .Thanks LM .I knew you'd have chapter and verse ,saves me googling .

London Mix "That's what Leave has always said" that's interesting ,do you have more detail ? Who said?

Mmm .Could that be what will happen ? No article 50 and new deal thrashed out . Did I hear that only 100 of sitting MPs in favour of leaving .500 not . Surely there will be little will to leave ?

computedshorty say this "Here is a picture of myself on right, and two mates a few years later note Emergency Water Tank built in the bomb site with th bricks from the two houses that were bombed, all the buildings down to the site were shops." about the picture .

Commiserations Penguin . I have 2 cats ( which we keep in at night ) but see others in our garden . But we do have robins ,blackbirds ,tits ,sparrows , wrens ,jays ,magpies ,and crows . And screeching parakeets .

I'm not keen on William Roses's attitude ( sure he'll be loosing sleep ) . When his shop was at Vauxhall he had signs up at Christmas time re ordering Christmas turkeys ." Regular customers only " In his LL shop a couple of winters ago I was told by staff that they weren't allowed to shut the door to the shop .When I said " well I'm freezing and how would he know " I was told that he watched them on the web cam. Now that the lovely Sabrina has left I wouldn't shop in there .

uncle glen - I don't understand your post . Do you think headteachers currently determine what goes on in their schools ? What point are you agreeing with DaveR on ?

Just copying this from offered and for sale .I know it shouldn't go in Family ,but ....feeling anarchic today . Fancy a cheap Break at Camber Sands this weekend? Posted by louloulabelle Today, 11:13AM We are now unable to go but I have a Bronze Caravan booked at Park Resorts Camber Sands, East Sussex from Friday 20th May (tomorrow) for 3 nights for 2 adults and up to 3 children. Includes Bed Linen and Service Charge included. I paid ?91 for it and would be willing to pass it on for ?45. You will need to collect the Booking papers from me as the name can't be changed but other than booking ref when you get there no ID or other ref will be made to who's attending. Please PM louloulabelle if intersted.

Yes ,yes but sometimes when there's a lot of noise one does use the colloquial expression " sounds like murder " . I'm guessing Sue understands the distinction between murder and nature .

As I read it the land is transferred to central government ownership .Then it can be leased by central gov to the Academy . And at the end of the lease central gov will own the land won't they ? I'm not sure what term should be used to describe this action - taking land away from local authorities ? I don't understand the comment that reality is being rewriten .

worth a try muggle .Well done . This bit from Wandle "We are suggesting that we work together for residents to appoint an independent advisor. The advisor would work for residents and one of their jobs would be to check what we are saying is accurate. We are looking for residents who would like to be on a panel that first selects and then works with the advisor. " sounds hopeful ,any residents tell us how it's going ?
