The Woodland Trust, OTOH, as a collector for charitable purposes, would require a licence from the police or an exemption order before they could lawfully make any door-to-door collection. http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Publications/cc20.aspx#e6

> Looking at this article it seems the police themselves advise you only to conduct these sorts of sales in a public place That's not my reading, which is just that if you are meeting in a public place, the police recommend that it be a safe busy area. You mentioned being messaged. I'd distinguish mobile phone messages from forum PMs. Someone using an unknown mobile phone number I'd count as being potentially untraceable by anybody. Someone's PM'ing does at least potentially provide you with a track record, and a link to forum, ISP, etc. records that the police could access if they thought it necessary. Similarly so, if you've communicated via their private landline phone. I'd count the existence of either of those traceables as goodish predictors of my own safety, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary. Personally, I think I'd be unlikely to buy any valuable consumer item (particularly an as-new one) without evidence of ownership, without believing that the seller would be subsequently findable if need be. An address or receipt would do; I don't think corner seat, Caff? Nero, would.

1786 Surrey Assize papers are at ASSI 31/14 in the National Archives. There are also some Southwark Quarter Sessions papers at the London Metropolitan Archives within CLA/046, eg: http://search.lma.gov.uk/scripts/mwimain.dll/144/LMA_OPAC/web_detail/REFD+%22CLA~2F046~2F01~2F016%22?SESSIONSEARCH&URLMARKER=STARTREQUEST, and at the Surrey History Centre in Woking.

Just come across a relevant case: Ricketts v Basildon Magistrates Court [2010] http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2010/2358.html R was seen by police via CCTV taking stuff that had been left outside a BHF charity shop. His car was subsequently stopped. The rear seat was filled with bags of items which R said he was collecting to sell at a boot sale. He admitted taking them from outside BHF and from a bin next to an Oxfam shop. R asked the High Court to quash Basildon Magistrates' decision committing him to the Crown Court for trial for theft, arguing that there had been no evidence from which the magistrates could have concluded that the items belonged to someone other than R. Held: It was an inference open to the court, that the items had not been abandoned but were, for the purposes of the Theft Act, the property of another. Application dismissed. In the case of the BHF items the court considered it an obvious inference that the items were intended as gifts to BHF, and that they remained the property of the would-be donors until BHF took possession of them (which they had not yet done).

wod, I'm wondering, for that time, whether they might have been beats rather than hippies. I could try reflecting on the differences and transition between the two, but I'm afraid three o'clock on a Tuesday afternoon doesn't seem to be quite the right time for it. It might be useful if the obloquy for hippies could be analysed more into very specific perceived and objected-to characteristics. I don't, btw, remember anyone who might have been subjected to a hippy label, using the term of themselves without some irony, though I could be wrong or limited.

Torpedoes? Are they for medical use?

"Flunitrazepam [Rohypnol] has a long half-life of 18?26 hours and an active metabolite which has a half life of 36?200 hours, which means flunitrazepam effects after nighttime administration persist throughout the next day." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flunitrazepam Half-life means the time taken to halve in quantity within the body. So even after three half-life periods, there's still in theory one eighth of the intially available amount present. No harm in putting a urine sample in a sterile sealed bottle/jar, even now, and keeping it in the fridge.

Are they dead because they have been pronounced so by a professional or do they just not currently work as they should Absolutely. I don't think people throw out their car if it doesn't start one morning. In any case, I really wouldn't use 'dead' to mean anything other than totally unresponsive, and even that is just a type of symptom, and doesn't at all necessarily mean irreparable or not worth repairing. I think I'd probably save 'irreparable' too, for just occasions where a needed component can't be replaced.

> Eynsford in Kent is great - castle, roman villa, hope farm and riverside forest. Easy from Peckham Rye I see you can't now actually go onto the castle site (looks like just a few wall remnants) as "Due to vandalism the site is closed until further notice", according to its English Heritage page. Though, as you say, Lullingstone is very close. And Down House is only a short ride from there. I have done DH by bike from ED, but train can get you most of the way.

Would the bulk of the stuff taken require use of a car or van?

Track improvements and maintenance are taking place from 05:00 on 28/05/11 to 01:00 on 31/05/11 between London Bridge and Tulse Hill.

> we all know who For, I think, a very exclusive value of 'we all'. For someone who doesn't know or follow the putative in-crowd, it can be just tedious and alienating.
