> I don't know if you would be entitled to dividends though if you present your Co-op card when you pay but now I am being silly. They do seem to actually, excluding such as disbursements and masonry sales. I used to raise the odd metaphorical eyebrow whenever I saw the credit card sticker that used to be in the Co-op funeral care door. This was at a time when one of the cards' slogans was "Takes the waiting out of wanting."

Possibly. She needs to speak to her friendly sysadmin (assuming this happened at work). Though I suppose it could then be escalated into a formal investigation. And there are possibly questions as to what rights she has, if any, to any particular information.

> Can you pack in salient points? Doesn't a salient point need to stand out, rather than pack in? Well, yes, you can. If you look at the online OED, even in some of the earlier more specialised uses of the word (eg as a local maximum (even minimum?) point in a graph, the interface of planes in a jewel stone, a geographical feature) there's nothing to indicate that it has to be limited to a single overbearing instance. Even the earliest use cited in the 'modern' general sense, from Carlyle's Heroes and hero worship (1840), talking about Shakespeare's history plays, is in the plural: "There are really, if we look to it, few as memorable Histories. The great salient points are admirably seized." Whether each of the peaks in Mockney's pic are salients is, I guess, a matter of the granularity of the usage in that particular domain.

So many...

Southwark will on request freely remove residents' unwanted vehicles, regardless of tax status. They will also remove an abandoned vehicle if it meets a number of conditions, including being untaxed. But I can't find any evidence that Southwark will remove a vehicle solely because it is untaxed.

DVLA handle untaxed vehicles. Local councils deal with abandoned vehicles. Goods vehicle operators licensing is done by VOSA.

> I recommend this. All right Curtain, it's elucidation time. It was when he was trying to bum a cigarette from a group smoking in a non-smoking first-class compartment on a late train. "It turned out that one of the girls worked in a massage parlour in my own home town ... She varied her activities by working the trains back from London in the evening, where she found many businessmen who were glad to avail themselves of her services in the train lavatories at ?10 a time." She took a liking to him and offered him a freebie (which he declined, his wife being in the next coach). SS was Prof. at Sussex, hence the Brighton line.

I found them very quick, I think next day repair, once it was established that it was definitely a line fault. You might do a belt-and-braces by invoking your own line check or fault status check, from another line, via http://www.bt.com/faults.

As I've mentioned before, the Charles Booth online archive at the LSE is also worth a look, to get a flavour of your neighbourhood at the tail end of the nineteenth century.

Assuming you're using it for PAYG, don't have a travelcard on it, and did touch it in at the start of your journey, you're probably going to find you've been charged the uncompleted journey rate, which is probably a lot more than what you'd otherwise have been charged. If you do find that's what's happened, I think you have to try phoning the Oyster helpline and asking them them to correct it. And this newpaper report seems to confirm that: "He said refunds were available from the Oyster help-line and London Underground stations, and ?10m of maximum fares are refunded each year."

I killed my first airborne house moth of the year yesterday. And today saw, I'm fairly certain, my first goldfinch, perching companionably just a couple of shooots along from a brightly billed blackbird.

Is it known whether the sugery did write to or try to contact you?

languagelounger> And I'm thinking in 12 hours you could probably learn to knit and produce The Jumper. You could run a week-long residential The Killing Experience in the Annex. Watch the video, knit the jumper, listen to readings from Kierkegaard, and experiment with smorgasbord, Danish pastries, herring and Akvavit. Meanwhile, back on earth, do they still make Arthur Dent dressing gowns?

Let it be noted that all media, blog, and other internet reports of this case to date, uniformly and erroneously refer to the judge as Mr Justice Sharp, and that EDF is currently alone in correctly referring to her as Mrs Justice Sharp.

He uses the word 'comprise' properly (which is more than Southwark Council can do) and so cannot be all bad.

Fear not. I sometimes think there is a Gaia principle rules the forum. So, for example, even as a Waynetta leaves, an Annette Curtain arrives.
