Thanks for that explanation. Are any of the computing industry papers/journals covering the system admin errors and why they occuurred? [ETA:] I gather it's a worldwide industry standard rather than a regulation. See eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Card_Industry_Data_Security_Standard. Assuming the standard amendment is indeed the underlying cause, which I guess is likely, it would be interesting and useful to know whether merchants, retailers, etc in other countries have experienced similar system failures in incorporating the amendments.

It's a serious and demanding business getting a search warrrant. The constable has to satisfy a judge of the reasonableness of the suspicion, and then some. Scroll down to 'Application' in this guidance from the College of Policing to get an idea of what's involved. This guidance is obviously a gold standard A+ exemplar of what's required, and I dare say that in RL things may sometimes be a bit more relaxed. But remember, get it wrong and it's the police who may end up in court being sued. https://www.college.police.uk/app/investigation/investigative-strategies/search-powers-and-obtaining-and-executing-search-warrants One critical thing that comes to mind. A Find My Phone app may well seem to pick out a single house, but there's no guarantee that it's the correct one, or even the right street, and there are a number of factors that can affect the accuracy of the process, to varying degrees at different times. If the phone doesn't have its Location switched on -- I only switch mine on when I need it, as it's an appreciable power user -- that in itself is likely to lessen a Phone Finder's accuracy. It might be a useful experiment to try such an app, with one's phone in different types of location, and with GPS use both and off.

It's disconcerting how quickly knowledge of theft methods like this seems to fade away. Here's an instance from 2010. You can probably find several more mentions by searching for something like Lebanese loop. If your card does disappear in the machine, don't leave the machine, and get a stop on the card immediately by phone call (haviing previously stored the contact number in your phone contacts) or by using the bank's app or web page. And, of course, make sure your PIN entry can not be seen. Cover it with your other hand or something when entering it, in case a spy camera has also been installed. And beware distraction attempts while you're in the middle of the transaction -- someone pretending to find something you've dropped for example.

Have you seen the annotation, "Hit by V1 destroyed" on the the other side of the card at https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235476138233? There are several online sites detailing WW!! London bomb damage, and at least one ?authoritaive map, that you could check. There's been mention here previously.

I think you'll be very much more likely to succeed by asking a specialised forum. A search on something like "forum fonts graphic design" turns up several likely candidates.

Comparing the TJGP team shown at https://www.tessajowellgpsurgery.co.uk/team/ with appearances on the TJGP Your Clinician's Availability timetable at https://my.askmygp.uk/?c=G85132#/staffAvailability (as in Trinidad's post above): Doctors (registered GPs): Available : De Carli, Garber, Koledoye, Lambert, Myanmar, Shivji 6/8 Not listed: Goldsby-West, Parsons (clinical lead) 2/8 Nurses, etc: Available: Olajide, Thorogood (ANP) Not listed Ahmed (HCA), Akhigbe, Button, Gale, Onyiah Listed as Available Clinicians but not included in TJGP team: Doctors (Dr): Ali, Dodd, 'GP', Hourmouzios, Scozzi, Udeh Others: Neale, Odiase, Spence, I may somewhere have copies of the available clinicians list from a year back or more. I don't know whether the team size had been bumped up to eight GPs then, but the available clinicians list was of similar size. It seems characteristically to have 10-12 shown available each day, most for a full day. The current list shows Dr De Carli available 00:59-17:00 M-F.

I'm attaching a PDF of pp7-8 of the CSND 24-25 admissions policy, as downloaded from https://www.charternorthdulwich.org.uk/key-information/school-policies, to complement the screenshot. Para 3 is the one highlighted. Actually, I might as well paste it here: "If both parents or any parent, with whom the child is resident for the majority of school nights, owns an alternative property, which has been the main family home within the last 3 years, this will be treated as the permanent home address. Therefore, if this parent is renting a property closer to the school, the rental property will not be accepted as the designated permanent home address, when applying the admissions Criteria."

In a Commons Library research briefing on what council funding jargon calls 'local referendums', Section 3.5 (Social care precept) has: "Billing authorities must display the percentage increase in the adult social care precept to one decimal place. They must display this increase in relation to the total rise in the social care authority's amount of council tax, not in relation to the previous year's social care precept. Thus, if a social care precept was raised from, for instance, £60 to £75, the increase would be displayed as, for instance, 2% not 25%. As the social care precept has existed for only a few years, it is normally small in cash terms." I've not yet reconciled the figures or got my head round the intricacies of council funding, which I'll leave to you or anyone else minded to do so, but it seems so close to what you've described that I'll be surprised if it's not pertinent.

The full list (as per OP's link) is as follows: Resident permit for ULEZ-compliant vehicles: £27.90 - 1 month £64.60 - 3 months £122.40 - 6 months £225 - 12 months Resident permit for diesel non-ULEZ compliant vehicles £31.60 - 1 month £81 - 3 months £155 - 6 months £300 - 12 months Discounted resident permits motorbikes and mopeds - £32 (12 months) hybrid vehicles - £150 (12 months) electric vehicles - £75 (12 months) disabled badge holder’s vehicles - £30 (12 months) There's a lot to be found on the web about comparative charges and methods of charging. One I've looked at, data said to be correct as of 6 July 2023, gives Southwark 'average cost' as £263, which I surmise is probably got as the mean of the £225 and £300 costs quoted above: https://www.driving.org/new-study-reveals-the-areas-in-the-uk-that-charge-the-most-for-a-parking-permit/. Lambeth have just closed a consultation on proposed changes to charging criteria: https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/consultations/have-your-say-changes-parking-charges-2024.

> The £11.5m “waste of money” What are the known facts and where can they be examined?

Is there a word for crowdfunding-other-than through-donations? They seem to be seeking fixed term loans, probably at a rate slightly less expensive for them than going elsewhere. But the investors will have the incentive of knowing that it's specifically to aid the funding of obviously socially useful targets; though apparently at a potential risk, if say our 'extortionate' borough goes bankrupt. But do read the Ts & Cs carefully to know precisely what the provisions are before investing. https://www.abundanceinvestment.com/our-investments/councils

While web-searching for any useful information about any related incident, or of details of test result information transmission, on p.2 of a 2022 NHS-SEL bulletin for GPs I came across a report of 'Delayed Reporting of Pathology Results Due to Unannounced Server Reboot.' It concluded: "Despite the delay in electronic results transmission, Viapath confirmed that all results were clinically reviewed at the point of testing in accordance with standard operating procedure. This means that all urgent or unexpected results were telephoned through to GP practices at the time." Assuming that's still current procedure -- your GP practice should be able to confirm it if so -- I hope it may provide some reassurance. The full bulletin is at https://selondonccg.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/NHS-SEL-GP-Bulletin-18-August-2022-V1.pdf. Whatever has been the cause of the long delay in the current case, the largely uninformative temporising you seem to have received is less than what I'd hope for from a GP practice, or any service provider. I think it would be very helpful to hear what other patients, in this and any other practices, have been told.

"These boards simply became known as the "gas board", a term people still use when referring to British Gas, the company that replaced the boards when the Gas Act 1972 was passed. The area boards became regions of the British Gas Corporation." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_board

There's a set of what seem to be statutory directions pertaining to a set of specific protected vistas, from points such as Greenwich, Primrose Hill, Kenwood, Richmond, at https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/gla_migrate_files_destination/LVMF Directions 16 March 2012.pdf, and I don't find Nunhead mentioned in it; though I don't know that it's the only set of such directions. I do doubt that a "protected view within the Southwark Plan" is a creature of the same species. Perhaps someone can find it.

Froglander, where did you find your photo? I've not yet found it on the web via either Tineye or Google. https://www.lewishamandgreenwich.nhs.uk/emergency-department-waiting-times is currently saying: "We have temporarily taken down this webpage displaying the waiting times at our hospitals' Emergency Departments due to technical issues with the data feed."

Nevertheless, reg.42(2) refers to "a sales area relating to EEE [my emphasis] of at least 400 square metres". Cornflakes and cheese don't count. The government gloss at https://www.gov.uk/electricalwaste-producer-supplier-responsibilities/take-back-waste-in-store bears that out: "You must take back all items of ‘very small WEEE’ in store if your electrical and electronic equipment sales area is greater than 400 square metres including aisle, display and shelf space."

Are they the standard method of getting instant hot water at a single tap or are there other methods available? I assume these quookers use vacuum or otherwise insulated flasks. Any idea what their running cost is if you never draw water from them? I've no intention of ever having one myself, but am curious.

> but have decided in the long run it will be quicker to just print and fill out by hand. Not a bad decision at all imo. If you were really attached to the idea of printed responses you could always try printing each page's responses to a copy of that page of the form. It might take a bit of experimenting to get the right alignments and sizes, but whether it would seem rewarding enough is probably a matter of personal psychology. I've not had the need to bother myself with PDF's editing permissions, but I do remember having had PDF forms which I was able to add responses to; though I don't remember whether the original text was protected from alteration, as a solicitor might reasonably prefer.

>I intend to raise this as a complaint and progress to the >Clinical Commissioning Group if I do not receive a response. You've not seen the notes in the CQC's Inspection Evidence Table then? The NHS moves on 😉 "Note: From July 2022, the CCGs have been replaced with Sub Integrated Care Board Locations (SICBL) and CCG ODS codes have been retained as part of this."

I'm attaching a copy of pp.1-6 of the Tree Condition Report, for the background information. You can get the full report (5.4MB) from the above link. At page 13 is the succinct: 5 Recommendations 5.1 T1 – Cedar of Lebanon – fell to ground level as soon as is reasonably practicable.

Where are you quoting that from?

What is said on the leaflet after the "The deadlines are ..." line?
