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?

We are at least not alone. Premier league status today even. https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12556 (click on "Deliveries today")

Who is "we"?

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." "Beckenham Junction to London Bridge via Crystal Palace The following services will run: Towards London Bridge: 07:45 Beckenham Junction to London Bridge 08:45 Beckenham Junction to London Bridge 16:45 Beckenham Junction to London Bridge 17:45 Beckenham Junction to London Bridge 18:45 Beckenham Junction to London Bridge Towards Beckenham Junction: 07:01 London Bridge to Beckenham Junction 08:01 London Bridge to Beckenham Junction 16:01 London Bridge to Beckenham Junction 17:01 London Bridge to Beckenham Junction 18:01 London Bridge to Beckenham Junction 00:01 London Bridge to Crystal Palace At other times, you will have to use alternative routes to complete your journey and the following ticket acceptance is in place: At other times, you will have to use alternative routes to complete your journey and the following ticket acceptance is in place: London Buses on routes 2, 68, 196, 432 and 468, between: West Norwood and Tulse Hill stations.

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."

[sorry. Removed. Hadn't clocked that you were using the historic present in "it's illegal".]

> I suspect that 196 fractures > from scooter accidents The Southwark News article said 196 "injuries". The ortho surgeon quoted simply spoke of "an increasing volume of patients needing surgery to treat complicated fractures following e-scooter collisions".

I had been thinking to write just to say that I agreed with legalalien's selection of bullet points, and maybe to include just this extract from the paper: "Moreover, over two-thirds of patients (68.9%) required at least one procedure during their emergency department visit. These findings are supported by a New Zealand study which found that the introduction of electric scooters had a large impact on regional healthcare costs.[46] This may be of particular interest to cities considering the adoption of shared electric scooter schemes, as the introduction of such services may increase the demand of already-stretched emergency services." There's obvious variation between some of the reports reviewed. I'm curious, for example, about whether the cited high fracture or admission rates in some were functions of the treatment centre selection, the locale, the social environment, ... The only way to investigate is by drilling down, ie reading them, and it's useful to have a scoping review like this to get a fuller picture of possibly relevant factors. The authors have taken some pains to select only articles likely to be reliable, and the compilation process is probably tedious and painstaking. The words, btw, are theirs, not the BMJ's.

> great actually working solution, exactly what I was after from the forum. That will do extremely well, child. You have delighted us long enough.

If I were her I wouldn't feel the need or inclination. How many hours a week do you spend in Grove Vale Library? Do you have an internet connection of your own?

I don't see much point in bothering a councillor with this until OP has had a response from the Libraries department.
