> Does Marnie have any distinguishing features that could help to differentiate it from all the other hundreds of Yorkies in South East London? Yes, a microchip that will tell any vet it's taken to that it's on the stolen list. See the OP on the Facebook page. The theft itself took place in June, and I doubt that any of the details of it are now of much effective use in recovering the dog. I'd have thought that a one-post thread, with a link to eg this lostdog page, and a few descriptive words about a possible recent Orpington link, would have sufficed.

ie, there's an informative web page by Jochen Topf © on "Characters in the local part of a mail address" here.

Licensing by the police, possibly on the recommendation of the mayor's office, is apparently required for any door-to-door collection.

Are they definitely not going to be usable, even if the amount of recyclable stuff one has may be well less than half a boxful?

Thank you :)

Mockney, crossword enthusiast sites don't usually publish solutions until after the competition closing date. That does help keep it more of a skilled competition than a plain lottery. This one is open for another week.

Typed, in exactly the form the solution is printed. I mean to get round to checking with PE, how they deal with entries and winner selection, and whether they can usefully accept the Across Lite file or a jpeg of a screen capture.

What, not finished yet? In what format do people usually submit their entry, btw? I send a text email.

But enough already. It's PIPPA MIDDLETON TIME!.

> Is the fine for not paying/trying to cheat Lambeth or is the fine for failing to display even when you started off displaying? From the determination I referred to: "In these cases, there are a number of factual issues that I will have to determine. But the issue of principle that I have to consider is, to what extent can vehicle owners be liable for penalties which, after they have properly paid for parking time, arise from matters entirely outside their control?" (p2) ..... "Does Section 46 give an authority the power to provide by regulation for the display of a pay and display voucher (and for the manner of display), and for the forbidding of parking at any time at a meter when that meter is showing out of order, so that, irrespective of fault, the person concerned may be liable for a criminal penalty? "As none of the specific provisions appears to be relevant, the Councils are forced to rely upon the general words of Section 46. Section 46 is not, of course, as specific in its enabling provisions as Section 35. However, certainly with regard to the display of a pay and display voucher, there can be no reason of public policy as to why such regulations ought not to be made in respect of on-street parking: because, as I have indicated above, such regulations can clearly be made in respect of off-street parking pursuant to Section 35, and there is no difference in principle between off- and on-street parking in this regard. Further, all of the Councils who appeared in these cases said that strict liability was essential for the proper regulation of the use of pay and display parking places, because of the ease with which the regulations can potentially be abused: it is very easy for a person who receives a PCN for failing to pay and display a voucher to say, after the event, that payment was made and then to produce a voucher which may or may not have been purchased at that time for that vehicle. Each of the Councils said that, in many cases, it would be impossible for them to determine whether the owner was telling the truth: and that is why, the Councils said, it was important to have strict liability for this contravention. Without such strict liability the proper regulation of the use of such places would be impossible, in practice. I consider these submissions are compelling." (p8)

You were possibly lucky the ticket ended face up and in a still obvious place. On the PATAS key cases page, the only determination listed under 'Fluttering tickets' includes two cases in each of which the local regulations were held to apply strict liability on the motorist to display tickets as specified. The closer of the two is Carr (1960207612): pay-and-display ticket left on windscreen; ticket fell face down onto dashboard so that details were invisible; appeal dismissed.

"The consultation period for this application is not open. Please contact the case officer directly if you have any questions. " http://planningonline.southwarksites.com/planningonline2/AcolNetCGI.exe?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPNAME=Root.PgeResultDetail&TheSystemkey=9541857 "There are no documents available online for this application." There will be ample opportunity when they are up to read them, consider, ask advice, discuss, make any representations. Anything submitted earlier will likely be a waste of everyone's time.

When I were a lad, neutrinos didn't have any mass at all. They've obviously put on a bit since then. I reckon this latest escapade is just a bit of adolescent boundary testing.

Gawd. It's even been trailed for inclusion in the Radio 4 news Quiz, now on..

> He would need quite a large screen and buttons. I'm not elderly, but still always use a full-size keyboard and mouse plugged into my laptop when using it at home. I'd also plug in an external monitor if I wanted a screen bigger than the laptop's 15", or dual screens.

There's no point in doing anything until the application and associated papers are on-line. There'll then be a period of at least three weeks for making written representations, after careful consideration and, I hope, discussion: it's important to think carefully about the factors which the planning department can, or can not, take into account.

"Flame-haired temptress" is current terminology in Private Eye.

> Is the mock-up to scale John? I believe it is. I've downloaded all the documents from the previous application. They're at http://planningonline.southwarksites.com/planningonline2/AcolNetCGI.exe?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPNAME=Root.PgeResultDetail&TheSystemkey=9540494. The application itself was, though not stated explicitly, from blowUP media UK Ltd, whose corporate website is here. The picture John's uploaded is, I think, the one from their "Design and Access statement". A version of the picture, from the "Photographs and photomontages 2011-07-16" document, with 8m and 11m scale marks, is attached. Remember too that the sign was to be illuminated. I note that the consultation process invited opinions, apart from the required Statutory and Internal Consultees, from only 34 'neighbours'. If such a sign had gone up there, I'd have thought it, even if temporary, a spoiling and pollution of my neighbourhood, a drastic changing of its character for the worse; and I live half a mile away. The Design and Access statement [PDF 1,474kB] includes: "In order to generate revenue to alleviate the cost of the scaffolding for future refurbishment, the owner has entered into a formal agreement with blowUP media to seek the necessary planning consent for the display of advertisement as outlined in the following pages." ... "Whilst the building is undergoing the refurbishment works, the banner will certainly constitute a great advantage to the visual amenity; it will conceal an unsightly scaffold, add colour and interest to the street scene, and provide information to visitors and passers-by." Who is the owner of the Forester/Bishop?

I'm pleased to report that the new improved, refurbished, Lidl in Bellenden Road is now open again. A short yomp from Goose Green. The Old Kent Road Aldi is only eight minutes' brisk walk from Queens Road, Peckham station

Look what I've just found in the Private Eye Xmas 2007 Gnomovations Catalogue .
