> I assume it's Heathrow bound traffic as they're mostly very large planes (747s etc) when observing from the street. And presumably not North bound, as would be the case for City planes. > The statistics would definitely be interesting. Well, for you to collate, I think, if you want to make any case or check your own hypothesis. :) The data is there online, as mentioned in, for example, the Se23 thread, or here several times. I reported my own collation of an hour or two's single-day traffic here a few years ago. I also remember wondering, but not enquiring at the time about, whether the data owners might be happy about passing on segments of their raw data rather than having us abstract snippets of it from the visualisations in their online system.

David, it would be interesting to see some day-on-day comparisons of height of overpass: same flight numbers and times, but pre- and post-3 September. I certainly find the perceived noise quite variable, depending presumably on flight paths, wind, cloud cover, air pressure, and who knows what other variables, but hadn't noticed anything to make me think of a recent step-change. The only thing I had noted recently was hearing the occasional propeller driven plane, even two in a day, after not noticing any for a long time; but I don't thinks that's significant. PS: Sorry, I've assumed, re statistic gathering, that you're talking about Heathrow bound planes, when you might, mainly or additionally, be talking about London City bound flights.

> Green light was flashing, turned everything off and I'm on-line, though somewhat intermittently. If you're talking about an ADSL (using standard BT phone line) modem, the flashing green light probably signifies an attempt to connect usefully to the equipment at the exchange. If it fails, first thing to do is check whether your phone line is down or noisy for even phone calls. If not, just carry on retrying. Some modems will do so anyway, hence the continuing flashing green. Doing a cold restart is worth a try, just in case the modem was stuck in a particular state, but I think the succesful connection you got then was more likely to be coincidental. I'd guess they're playing around with equipment at the exchange end, if things are still intermittent. Your modem log might have some useful information about your line condition; intermittent noise or low signal on your line is another possibility, more likely if it appears to be chronic or maybe associated with wet weather.

As announced during the week on the down platform indicators, there are no trains between Tulse Hill and Crystal Palace on Sunday 4 Sept. That's not actually the whole story. The National Rail Journey Planner shows no trains at all from ED, up or down, on the Crystal Palace-London Bridge route. The full Southern engineering work details are here. That leaves just the East Croydon branch running through ED, with trains: To East Croydon 04 & 34 min past the hour To London Bridge 07 & 37 min past the hour

You've already advertised in the Business section. Are you suggesting there's a specific local dialect, maybe along the lines of Chaucer's Prioress's? ;) And Frenssh she spak ful faire and fetisly, After the scole of Dulwich-atte-Est.

Peckham Lidl is undergoing refurbishment. It were nobbut an empty shell last week.

Wot, no animated gif?

Just in Sainsbo's doing my weekly shop - a day off and its raining yet again - and over the tannoy comes this announcement "Can Sharon Stone please come to Customer Services"!

> My first ever, and only because it had been hanging there for 4 hours. It'll be something to look back on and tell your grandchildren about.

If all else fails, I wonder what effect further heating, even blowtorch treatment, might have. Has anyone yet said what this blessed object is made of? Lady M, perhaps you can install a jam pan webcam?

Welcome. I look forward to your first reference here to drapepalace.com of Hong Kong.

"Eleven festivals in total have lost their [southwark] council funding this year, including those celebrating the elderly, lesbian and gay and Latin American communities." "The council insists it is considering a new festival framework for the future, to incorporate all the groups losing out on funding - this may result in a one-day multi-community festival." from The Irish Post, online page dated March 2011

Any post about Virgin broadband is going to be of limited usefulness, and possibly misleading or confusing, unless it says which of the two Virgin BB services you are talking about, (1) Cable or (2) ADSL.

Walking down Ashbourne Grove toward LL, I saw a black ?ATB bike frame, less wheels, but with most other parts present and part attached. Shimano mech, Kalin bars, clipless pedals, dumped near the junction with Melbourne Grove. Then I passed a bloke, ? about twenty, white tee shirt, medium height, short hair, carrying a bike wheel. Retracing my steps a quarter of an hour later, I saw a wheel dumped, about twenty yards from the frame. A black Weinmann USA, with seven sprocket block. Still wondering what the back story is.

A report that always quotes the local rates as a whole number isn't worth trusting or spending any time on.

>Cyrena Dulwichiensis It looks as if there's at least one in the Illustrated London News, Saturday, March 24, 1860 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ILLUSTRATED-LONDON-NEWS-24-MARCH-1860-/270738737490. I could stick it on my next Colindale visist list.

Ah, I see you've noticed its fine patina. That's a complex of wholly natural hydrated ferric oxides and hydroxides, you know. It takes months to reach that state of maturity.

Some reminders of the original Roy Brooks style here. > hoxytone fascion victims Hoxytone is fairly harmless for topical application but do not inject.

In some locations, and probably more so the higher you are, you can get away with using an indoor set-top type aerial.

Phones were six weeks each at Camberwell Green last week.

> I am so relieved to to be told that the bye-laws in force in 1904 have been updated and that > all sports are permitted on all days of the week. Not so hasty. Archery, javelin, discus and shot are all prohibited, as is more or less any golf more dynamic than putting or addressing the ball. And "No person shall throw or strike a cricket ball with a bat except in a designated area for playing cricket." It's all here, under Anti-social behaviour.

In what terms did they advertise themselves on twitter? I'm wondering, too, why they've not posted somewhere here to say what they're about and to invite people to join.
