There's also a reporting page http://www.southwark.gov.uk/BusinessCentre/Licensing/ReportingaPremises.html

There's an instructive real-life Lambeth case in the South London Press at http://www.southlondonpress.co.uk/tn/News.cfm?id=16648. Do click through to the follow-up article. The Southwark licensing register page is http://licensing.southwarksites.com, which leads to the terms of the FHT's licence at http://licensing.southwarksites.com/LicPremisesGrantedDetails.asp?systemkey=11388. It's good to read that they will have had functioning CCTV, inside and out, that they'll have made available to the police. Where in the leg was the victim injured? It may seem a safer place to inflict an injury, but it can lead to death through loss of blood, as with Damilola Taylor. I hope everyone knows about artery pressure points, for use in an emergency where blood is being lost fast.

And if you want to see the RTA1988, s.170 in its current state, it's at http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/content.aspx?LegType=Act+(UK+Public+General)&title=Road+Traffic+Act&searchEnacted=0&extentMatchOnly=0&confersPower=0&blanketAmendment=0&sortAlpha=0&TYPE=QS&PageNumber=1&NavFrom=0&parentActiveTextDocId=2276534&ActiveTextDocId=2276820&filesize=12249 . It's changed very little.

Sorry no webcam of the ED palm tree.

At least the one on the corner has a large CCTV camera looming over it. Perhaps we need an "I-Spy ATMs" book.

"In Hungary, banks now routinely confirm all card transactions to their customers by SMS." http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2006/07/26/growing-epidemic-of-card-cloning/

Is the list of all the channels detected during the scan? That suggests to me that you're getting a marginal signal on all but the two multiplexes the BBC are on (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/terrestrial/mux/#). I'm fortunate enough to be able to use a set-top aerial, and if any multiplexes are undetected during a scan, or too weak, it's just been a matter of checking the aerial connection, reorienting it, or using one rather than another. I believe the signals all come from the same place, Crystal Palace.

>Hi All, Just to let you know that I used the Barkelys bank ATM this >morning (the one on the corner) and it had a thing over the card slot- >then I checked all the other Barkleys ones and they did not have this thing. For information, here are photographs I took at 12:28 today of the Barclays ATMs, on LL and the corner of LL/Ashbourne Grove, respectively. It's clear, BTW, from photos of the full fascia, that the machines are different models. I didn't see or feel anything that seemed obviously amiss or appended, and my amateur assumption is that they're both currently in their natural state. But can anyone definitely confirm that the initial slot bit in the second is standard (probably an anti-tamper device?) and not a skimmer?

Browncoffee, are you still getting the "Connected with limited access" message that you mentioned in your OP? That strongly suggested to me a problem with your local network apparatus or configuration. A google on that phrase suggest similarly, I think; eg http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/index.cfm?action=showthread&threadid=288085&forumid=18 .Was that question addressed or resolved by the engineer's visit? While here, might I please piggyback on this thread with a Virgin question of my own? I'm on nominally 2MB/s Virgin broadband on plain old telecom wires, and have been for several years. I live off Grove Vale. I'm vexed that I never get the benefit of the full 2 MB/s. I monitor all downloads, and although they may start at, say 1.8 MB/s, they invariably get ramped down to 1 MB/s or just under, within a few seconds. I strongly suspect rate-limiting at the Virgin end, but would really like to know what speed other Dulwich exchange subscribers in the area get.

Radio 4 You and Yours ran a twelve minute piece about forecourt card fraud at about 12:40 today. It should eventually be listenable-again to for seven days (not there yet) at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/. Failing that, I have an mp3 recording, ~ 5.4Mb. Essentially, the story was that the card data collection period was usually over, and the apparatus and evidence removed, before the account harvesting began. Not surprising, really, for thieves with some intelligence. So if you want to catch them, be on the lookout for dodgy ATMs or pin entry devices, and camera spyholes, and let the police know then.

"05/08/1944 16:45 23 [killed] This was a very serious V1 incident, one of the worst in South London. The V1 hit the co-op store at the corner of Northross Road in Lordship Lane. The Co-op and 6 other shops were demolished and 20 houses damaged in Lordship land and 40 in Shawbury Road.A Salvation army hall was also damaged. It is stated in ARP reports held in the public records office that damage extended across a 700 yard radius, greater than the normal blast area. This is probably due to the fact that later V1's were packed with a heavier, more deadly warhead. It was also reported that Anderson shelters in the area stood up well to the blast. Bulldozers were called in to clear the debris and one tram track was cleared by 20.30 of the same day. The whole block where the Coop stood has been re-developed with post war shops. The opposite side of Lordship Lane also shows significant signs of re-building as do houses up Shawbury Road" http://www.flyingbombsandrockets.com/web_content_dulwich.html

So not the fruit machine place in LL that's just shut down then? (; I did wonder that people were misssing it. But thanks for the reminder; really do want to visit the Great Exhibition.

Ah. Oh. Hmm. I've had ?4 of unexpectedly won gaming machine tokens, in a little bag, for the past 20+ years. I really was meaning to go into this place sometime, to see if they were still usable or cashable. But it wasn't an appealing place to go in, especially so when people smoked in it. Oh well. Win some, lose some. Swings and roundabouts. Ashes to ashes. Speculate to accumulate, etc.

Just phoned the manager to let him know about the misdeliveries. He seemed to agree they were bad ones. I asked if it was a temp but he said no, it's still the regular roundsman. Anyway, I've done my bit by giving feedback about what I trust will probably have been a blip. Sorted.

Thanks arty, I might try that tomorrow. Come to that, I could even ask about how to become a temp myself.

Still some in Acorn. They're deceptive in size actually; not much difference in capacity between one and the main compartment of the large rucksack I usually use for shopping. Not so kind to the arms though. When does the SNUB rucksack arrive?

Thanks Ladygooner, but I don't want to go the Customer Services route and fit into their 'complaint' template and get an apology, and be assured etc ..., and possibly not much else done. Probably a waste of everybody's time. I just want to help rectify a specific failing in the simplest possible way. If the office supervisor isn't contactable, I think I'm actually going to have to speak to my postie myself next time I see him. Revolutionary. I'll show him the snap I took of the latest offending envelope. :)

Does anyone have the Silvester Road Delivery Office number? It seems to have been omitted from my BT phone book, and the only version found on the web was incorrect. Had two needless misdeliveries in the last few days, both addressed to totally different roads. A quick word with the supervisor might be a useful thing to do.

Well, Mr HonaloochieB, innocent that I am, and uncertain as to your motivation, I nevertheless followed your search suggestion; a search from which I may say I return unscathed, nonplussed and mystified. I chose the path called Google images. The first item I met along it was a picture of Mr Osama Bin Ladn. The following ones were equally inconsequential and unedifying. I am sorely tempted to interject, in the manner of Miss Anne Josephine Robinson, "So Mr HonaloochieB, who do you think /you're/ channelling then? What astral plane are /you/ on?" It is now nearly 24 hours since we heard from Ms B, in bizarre and alarming circumstances. Her last communication ended "This is very troubling: am beginning to doubt my own existence." And yet, at a time when there is a very real possibility that she may be the victim of a cyber-possession or cyber-abduction, you seek to divert with frippery. May I suggest, sir, that you pull yourself together and come up with something altogether more positive.

I see it's happened on another thread too, Ms B. Have you previously noticed any sign of possessing psychic talents? Any traces of ectoplasm in your vicinity?

Any of these. Here's a possibly useful selection from a google 'uk atm card skim' image search: http://www.bustathief.com/2007/08/atm-fraud-or-cash-money-theft-is-as-old.html http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2006/03/30/fraud-or-feature/ http://www.strathclyde.police.uk/index.asp?locID=1204&docID=-1

Perhaps I should switch places with the OP. At the beginning of the month I heard some unusal birdcalls, so got out my binoculars and started taking a closer interest in the birdlife at the back of the house. I was ever so pleased with myself for eventually spotting and identifying four sparrowhawks, who have taken to hanging around, mainly just perching and watching. The very considerable downside of this is that I don't think I've seen or heard a single head of the local small community of songbirds in the past week. I just hope that most of them managed to get asylum elsewhere. I'd swap them for the sparrowhawks any day.
