Agree with above .

"I thought that as well, but do acknowledge that that bit of the pavement had been semi-blocked because of the tree so perhaps it was a coincidence or the planning people decided to let it go given that a bid for a dropped kerb had been put in." Mmm - well if the tree was being removed because it was diseased and it's Southwark's policy to replace trees ,why isn't it being replaced ? As for planning letting it go ... I didn't think that removing /replacing street trees was up to the planning department ? Though happy to be enlightened .

I guess I should have googled first ,though I don't always find that Southwark's on line guidance is current . Anyway tho I've not yet read the whole document I found this in Southwark's Tree Management Strategy "6.1 Replacement Planting Replacement tree planting is needed to replenish Southwark?s tree stock: to replace trees lost through disease, age and development, and to conserve and enhance Southwark?s varied landscape character. The size of tree and design layout needs to complement the existing landscape character and be appropriate for the function of the site. Replacement planting will be undertaken between November - March for trees removed in the previous 12 months to ensure the replenishment of Southwark?s tree stock." on p 24 there are details re contacting S'wark about trees . https://www.southwark.gov.uk/downloads/download/2621/tree_strategy

If a mature tree is removed ,was growing in a metre square tree pit ,will it be replaced ? The tree was reportedly diseased and had for many years been growing at an angle .I'm slightly suspicious as it's removal makes an application for a dropped kerb and off street parking feasible . Anyone know ? RCH ? Does Southwark have a policy ?

Thanks all - looking like "draughtex" or "stopgap" or http://www.screwfix.com/p/stikatak-cork-expansion-gap-inserts-brown-18-pack/72555?kpid=72555&cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-Sales%20Tracking-_-sales%20tracking%20url&gclid=Cj0KEQjwr7S-BRD96_uw9JK8uNABEiQAujbffCz5m3M3B8tLup3XHy4HRf5kR5N7EL3FXzhWxokhDbMaAg818P8HAQ

Has anyone any pointers or advice ? Old floorboards ,not yet sanded .

Obviously neither you nor anyone you know have ever had need of the fire service...

And B road such as Barry Road txt also come with lots of double yellow lines sorry but could you explain that a bit ? Has Barry Rd got lots of double yellow lines ?

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?
