Tiddles, if the two videos were exactly the same, were they two video copies of a single event and recording -- in which case there's certainly something very wrong within the system -- or were they two videos of two very similar actions? What do the time marks say?

Any other Plusnet user currently undergoing the transfer of their Plusnet email handling?

Yes please. I'd like some of the councils that mention school holidays in the signs, and any of the schools in Bromley that do so.

> They don't need to, trying to track them off enough of a challenge. I find it's the getting to a solution that's the really therapeutic bit.

A web trail shows IT's numbers progressively closing and referrring you to the next one along -- that last being Heathow, which is nevertheless apparently still open. That seems to me to leave maybe Sutton or Kingston as the next nearest in their list of open branches, but my brainmaps don't have much in them about Essex way Ah, hang about. Look at https://www.medequip-uk.com/contact/woodford-green which says it handles Lewisham on their local scheme, but perhaps the SE London ICS will have a different arrangement, so I also second the suggestion to contact them. Do Medequip also supply cryptic crosswords, Sudoku or other puzzles?

My shilling's on Painted Snail.

Has it ever been clearly stated at what stage of the representation-submssion -> appeal-submission -> tribunal-appeal process the Southwark part passes to council officers rather than to the outsourced PCN-issuing company? I tend to assume it would be very early on, but can't be sure.

Are they the two I can see on page 7 of the For Sales?

Can I have a few of those councils please.

I would reserve judgement on the role of the 'survey' until much better information emerges. Experimental RTOs have been around since at least the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, and have some virtues, such as being more easily modified (or withdrawn?) in the light of results and the feedback provided. You have six months from the order's inception to have your says about whether and why it should not be made permanent. People might think it useful to get some baseline statistics before it actually comes into operation. You could start by asking Highways what sample traffic data is already available for the relevant roads over, say, the last five years. Then, for the most efficient data grabbing, maybe try sticking a camera in the window and recording video -- save the data collating till later, and make sure it's all clearly dated. Bear in mind that some cameras may limit single file size. No need to use the highest resolution, so long as vehicles are easily countable. Here's an example of how Lambeth provided the statutorily specified necessary information about an ETRO of theirs: https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2025-11/171-VPG-SOR.pdf and a snippet from a recent Commons Library briefing paper https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN06013/SN06013.pdf : "There are separate rules for experimental orders, as set out in Regulations 22 and 23 of the 1996 Regulations. "These regulations set out that the requirements on the publication of proposals and objections (which apply to permanent orders) do not apply to an experimental order. No provision of an experimental order shall come into force before the expiration of the period of seven days beginning with the day on which a notice of making in relation to the order is published. "Councils may wish to make an experimental order as a precursor to a permanent order, as this process allows councils to bypass the requirements on consultation, notice of proposals and objections, providing other requirements have been met (see Regulation 23). This can be a more cost effective and flexible approach (allowing, for example, for immediate feedback and minor changes) than a permanent order or a temporary order (which cannot be converted into a permanent order – see below)."

You've mentioned this several times. Is it the one inside the College grounds, as referred to, for example, in para. 40 of https://dulwichevents.com/terms-and-conditions/ (for their clients) "Motor cars or other vehicles are to observe the 10 mph speed limit in the College grounds"or one on the public highway?

While the https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/status/? was worse than useless.

Just produce the b_y TMO.

Remarkably, details of all the woman's other outfits seem to have been collated, along with details of where to rush to to buy them, for those who have to. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/fashion/a69827918/claudia-winkleman-traitors-outfits/

Somewhere back in the distant past, ie some time in the last year, I came across a piece, probably on radio, BBC R4, that suggested, iirc, that the main demand for such student housing was mainly from overseas students, and was cooling.

If you look at the Companies House records you'll see that that the owner of Lulu's London Ltd owns several other businesses with SE London names - mainly in hairdressing/beauty, and iirc one licensed restaurant. PS The Forest Hill Road licence covers seven days/week, daytime and evening, and includes off-sales of alcohol as well. https://app.southwark.gov.uk/premises/granted/887411

That looks consistent with what I saw when I checked a few weeks ago, after someone raised a fresh thread asking about the progress. I was about to post here asking if anyone could help with what seemed a bit of a mystery. The planning register didn't show the application as decided. I couldn't find any minutes of the committee meeting that James reported on last year, or any mention in any other minutes of the application. The meeting was itself flagged in the meetings schedule as MOVED (presumably to another date). Incidentally, I remember one of the atttached planning documents being a report on the financial prospects then pertaining. As far as I understood and remember it seemed to show the construction for sale of the buildings a ? poor prospect for the investment. I'm no expert though.

Can you please provide a link to the source of your information about a 5 mph speed limit for cyclists in Dulwich Park.

Radio 4 programme, available to hear online or download in mp3, at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7p1: City Transport: Faster, Cheaper, Greener Rare Earth How we get around town has never been more political, with controversies over low traffic neighbourhoods and 15 minute cities, and rows about congestion charging and public transport breaking out all over the country. Tom and Helen are in search of the kind of consensus that makes things faster, cheaper and smoother for all of us. What works and what’s been a complete flop? Should we all stop moaning and get on our bikes? Who is the reshaping of traffic flows working - and not working - for? And could Milton Keynes have all the answers?

This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect. David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉 It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon

That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of. But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
