>How can you tell by looking at the cash machine if it has one of these things fitted - is there something sticking out from >the slot where the card is inserted or is it less obvious than that??? It's like apiece of plastic tape, stuck inside the slot. But here has to be something there, to enable the thief to recover the device, along with your captured card. Some sites recommend feeling along the slot for two small prongs enabling them to do that. Other sites mention gluing instead, in which case the join might actually be just within the slot. I think I'd additionally, in the absence of anything better, at least give my card a good waggle across the slot, pressing it along the top and lower edges, just to see if there seemed to be anything there. This particular device does look as if it gives a better opportunity than most to catch the perps, as they can only capture one card at a time, and so will very likely be lurking in the area (if I'm wrong in this, please say), maybe in a car with a wifi laptop. So If I got the telltale sign -- the ATM's repeated mechanical attempts to 'swallow' the card -- I think I'd phone 999 immediately, tell the operator it was a Lebanese Loop scam with the likelihood that the perps would be trying to recover my card as soon as I'd left, and suggesting that if they wanted to do some discreet observation for the pick-up, to phone me back once they were in position. One web page mentioned that, instead of cameras, some of these scammers use a 'helpful bystander' who'll advise you that you to re-enter your PIN a couple of times, in order just to note the number. So beware them too, and if you're playing along, enter a wrong number.

Con women claiming to be from Talk Talk?
ianr replied to Thomas Micklewright's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
There were two young men in suits inside the Co-op yesterday afternoon, importuning customers as they left. As I hurried past I'm pretty sure I say that their lapel labels said Talk Talk, and I think I might have been asked if I was with BT. If so, what on earth is the Co-op doing letting them do their selling on the premises? I hope they at least got a large fee for it. -
Penalty Charge Notices [box junction and rye lane] - Peckham
ianr replied to gemmamala's topic in The Lounge
>In a nutshell, if traffic is moving when you enter a box junction >and you stop in box junction for what ever reasons, then no contravention has happened. That's very far from my reading of the reproduced case summaries shown in the March 2009 thread you've cited. -

burglaries in Forest Hill/East Dulwich areas

That reminds me, I think I have somewhere a spare copy for sale of Siegel's Non-parametric statistics. Huguenot? -

What a nifty and unobtrusive little feature. I don't think I'd have found it on my own. Note though that it only works -- both the toggle and the masking -- when you're logged in.

What percentage of regular lounge posers are actually a bit unhinged?
ianr replied to ????'s topic in The Lounge
The hinge is an instrument of repressive tolerance. -
Kbabe1, on those facts your case sounds the kind that the late statutory declaration procedure could deal favourably with, once you've mustered as much evidence as possible concerning your notification of change of address, its date and consequences, to supplement your own sworn assertions. http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/1043.htm It's going to be the local authority that will make any refund.

burglaries in Forest Hill/East Dulwich areas
ianr replied to concita's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
>Mainly burglaries in ED from sash windows being forced - sash 'restrictor' locks quickest and easiest way to reduce this risk >and cost about ?3 per window from all good DIT stores. But see also the discussion in another thread about some locked ones being broken open. Possibly some types or installations may be better than others. -

>A years supply of Gentleman's Relish? I think that one might have been for Tuckin Crisply.

Be prepared. A discreet 999 call, even at the cost of a small delay in time, could be more effective than any other action, unless you're capable yourself of arresting the person(s). Any sign of transport, btw, or do we have a lone burglar on foot?

Lordship Lane - best highstreet in London? (The Times)

PeckhamRose Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Open Spaces in Lordship Lane? It's dreadfully sad, when people think of Dulwich Park or Peckham Rye as the epitome of green space. A lot better than nothing, as our Victorian benefactors realised, but still just suburban parks. -
Lordship Lane - best highstreet in London? (The Times)

>Jrussell the pen? Why not just someone from Winkworth or any other of the local estate agencies? -
>Yes and no, because those signs have always been there as part of the one way traffic directions. A cycle contraflow ignores those. Only if there are additional prescribed signs indicating that. Without them, there simply is no legal contraflow. Where the road usage is slow and light, and they can have a cycle contraflow without using a cycle lane, one of the advisory signs used, NP 960.2, requires departmental approval. See for example Cycling England file a06_contra-flow_cycling.pdf at http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20110407094607/http://www.dft.gov.uk/cyclingengland/engineering-planning/design-checklist/. That might be what's causing the hold -up. Addendum 21 March 2013 (after having noticed the forum's Spurling road contra flow cycle route thread): Cycling England ceased to be a public body on 1 April 2011 and their web pages have been removed from the DfT site, so I've changed the link to point to the corresponding page of the Cycling England archive now in the National Archive, snapshot made 7 April 2011.

The first road markings, right at the beginning of the stretch, are a no-entry sign _and_ No Entry painted on the road, so it would be a bit difficult to claim total ignorance or certainty. But the sooner it's made consistent, the better.

I know what you mean. I'd also say that recording a detailed observation of an impression, along with any reservations, is itself a quintessentially scientific act.
