Hmm. From the TMOs listed at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/transport-and-roads/traffic-orders-licensing-strategies-and-regulation/traffic-management-orders?chapter=5 I've picked out LSP Dulwich trial Phase 2 (notice dated 15 Oct 2020) as the one that may be the relevant one, and can find no mention in it of bank holidays. And at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/parking-enforcement-over-christmas-and-on-bank-holidays, mischievously tucked away on a page entitled Parking Enforcement, I find "all traffic regulations will be enforced using CCTV camera" on bank and public holidays. I don't know if there are any factors that would incline Southwark nevertheless to treat a bank holiday as exceptional. I can see the City of London saying, in the FAQ at https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/services/streets/bank-on-safety, that they don't enforce their own Mon-Fri restriction at the Bank junction on bank holidays; which I read as possibly implying that their TMO, which I can't find, doesn't mention them at all. But even if so, it's only an example of what an LA can do, if they feel like it, for one particular location. Is the Village much different on a bank holiday from any other weekday?

According to the House of Commons Library briefing paper for a 2017 Westminster Hall debate on delivery office closures https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2017-0174/: The latest detailed estimate of the number of delivery offices in Royal Mail?s network is for 2014/15 when there were 1,333 delivery offices. Royal Mail are currently reporting, as they have for some years, that there are around 1,400 delivery offices in their network. Andrew Towers (Head of Political Strategy at the Communications Workers Union) tweeted that 75 delivery offices had been closed since Royal Mail Privatisation. Today there are 74 DOs listed at https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12556 as not providing normal service. On 20 December it was 22, on 5 January it was 29, and a couple of days ago I think it was around 55.

The actual words used were "might not be able to successfully sue". It would be a very dysfunctional legal system that prohibited access to itself.

It's no substitute for personal knowledge, but you could try the Advanced Search option at https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search. I tried it out with just a few parameters selected to approximate to what you seem to be looking for, and got it down, after including a locality (Southwark) specification, to just 173 hits, which is at least tractable.

That'll be the Extended Primary Care Service https://www.ihlsouthwark.co.uk/what-we-do/epcs/, incorporated as Improving Health Ltd https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08926168/filing-history in 2014. It's set up to provide services to all of the South Southwark practices. I think they each provide a shareholder. They and the out-of-hours service provided by SELDOC are both included in the list of all services available at TJHC: https://selondonccg.nhs.uk/in-your-area/southwark/tessa-jowell-health-centre/.

The Bike Project, based in Crossthwaite Avenue near Green Dale, has been running an appeal for funds to help with their ongoing work providing bikes for refugees and asylum seekers. Until the end of today 31/12 donations are being matched and doubled.

My grandmother's cat seemed to thrive on boiled cod heads. Have you tried them?

> Ground for outdoors, floor for indoors... Just so, though you can have, for example "forest floor". I think it depends on there being some kind of ceiling or roof, as there is in forests. Or would just walls do too? [ETA] OTOH, if you were alone in the forest and inadvertently dropped your peanut butter sandwich, it's probably the ground it's going to end up on.

ed_pete, I've been doing some more experiments after seeing your most recent post, which I'd not read when posting mine. I've tried this time using your bt.com link, and getting estimates for (1) Arnhem Way (a) based on postcode only, and (b) for a specific address (2) My own road, ditto In each case the (a) estimates were obviously based on ADSL whereas the (b) ones were for FTTC. So basically I'd suggest that at least some (in default I suspect maybe all) of your ADSL reports are artifacts: they're simply revealing that the BT estimate offer is a conservative one, not willing to give a specific FTTC commitment until it's tied to a specific address that's then looked up in one of their database tables. It is, after all, a sales portal, and giving a false overestimate might be embarrassing. I'm interested to know if you agree. Have you, for example, tried entering your own exact address? If you are doing any more tests yourself, be aware that the BT software adds a declared location to its cookies. I deleted all bt.com cookies between each of my own tests. For anyone interested, there's a nice little diagram at https://kitz.co.uk/adsl/fttc.htm showing how the FTTC signal gets to us — mainly through fibre to a neighbourhood FTTC cabinet, then via a link to a local ADSL cabinet, and only then via the ADSL metal wires for the last shortish step.

Isn't the question a type of category error?

Try the broadband availability checker at https://kitz.co.uk/adsl/, first with just your postcode and then, starting from that top link again, entering any BT phone number that may have been used at your premises. (In my case I still have the number, but it's now Plusnet and so 'non-BT'.) I found that in the first case I was told just that FTTC was available in some areas. In the latter I was given some given some actual fibre data rates.

misterdulwich, welcome to the forum. Do you have any more specific descriptors for the odour you experienced?

Back to something very like the previous reductions, billed as one of five temporary service reductions "to ensure planned services are as reliable as possible with the ongoing impact of coronavirus."

The administration, and the business of Bulb, seem to be trundling on without any present obvious effect on customers. Presumably that can't carry on indefinitely? Does anyone have any idea of the time courses of these things, and the triggers that require some kind of serious action? On the sponsorship issue, is it possible that it might be regarded as a beneficial and tolerable expense, perhaps falling within the advertising or public relations and goodwill budget?

One detail from the police briefing note of 10 Dec. that wasn't in the notice reproduced on the Twitter page: "... was last seen at 1945hours on Sunday 28th November. She is believed to have been wearing a green coat and carrying a red backpack."
