It looks to me as if the water companies don't have responsibilities for land drainage generally. See for example: "In 1989 the Thames Water Authority was partly privatised, under the provisions of the Water Act 1989[3] with the water and sewage responsibilities transferring to the newly established publicly quoted company of Thames Water, and the regulatory, land drainage and navigation responsibilities transferring to the newly created National Rivers Authority which later became the Environment Agency." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Water_Authority

Autofill, do you remember who in your mum's case notified whom of the code set, and when?

in reply to my own "Where did you get this from?" response to your post at https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/353788-is-rachel-reeves-becoming-the-new-liz-truss/?do=findComment&comment=1688310, in which you again spoke of the government's "doubling the national debt". You seem not to understand the meaning of "national debt". Have you perhaps been relying on someone else's usage? I'm sorry to hear of Starmer's decimation.

in response to On 19/11/2024 at 08:36, Moovart said: I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise. And yes it is a genuine link. I've just had a look at the page source. It contains a link to a Twitter page that's been automatically embedded in Moovart's post but seems not now operative. So I've dug out the url to have another try, this time without embedding: https://x.com/guyshrubsole/status/1858490339356533018 . Seems ok. in reply to my own "Where did you get this from?" response to your post at https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/353788-is-rachel-reeves-becoming-the-new-liz-truss/?do=findComment&comment=1688310, in which you again spoke of the government's "doubling the national debt".

The above merging of my posts in response to Sue and to Jazzer have been done by the forum system, so there's no point in my trying again to separate them. I've already tried editing out the merging and reposting the one to jazzer, but ended up with the same forced merge. Apologies. Latest edit. The moral seems to be: don't try making two consecutive posts or they'll be liable to merging. I've now been able to post a freestanding reply to jazzer's post now that there's an intervening post.

Where did you get this from?

Sephiroth I've slightly amended my above post btw, though numbers stay the same. I've just realised that I was looking at the plain English text version (though labelled JSON as a page-top option within Firefox). Your post alerted me to the fact that I'm also offered a 'raw data' version, which I take it is what you're looking at. I think that was probably the only representation available at Referendum time; I think I cobbled a script to extract data from it. Do see if you have access to the plain text version, which I think is certainly user-friendlier for most purposes. PS I've just looked at the file within Chrome, and see only the real json format raw data and no obvious other option. I'd better look at the real raw file now -- which I've saved as a .txt file -- and I find that the 'raw data' in json format is still all there is, and that I've perhaps been beguiled into thinking differently by some Firefox feature or add-on. Ho hum. But do other browsers really not have similar? PPS See my addendum to my above post. Firefox does indeed have a built-in JSON viewer, that other browsers may not have. ETA (26/11) Chrome does have plenty of available extensions that do so, at: https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/JSON Viewer.

I've just looked at https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700143.json. Current "signature_count" entries: In header section, at line 13 (ie total): 2178055 followed by alphabetically ordered lists, the whole country ones first, including "United Kingdom" 2162127 ; then constituencies. So about sixteen thousand non-UK ones, ~0.7% of the total. Addendum 25/11 15:53 It may be that not everyone has access to the representation of the data in the format that I've been describing (one of two options offered me by Firefox browser): see my interchange with Sephiroth below. I see that it comes thanks to a JSON file viewer, a user-friendly feature that's been built-in to Firefox for some time. Possibly other browsers may have followed on, or have add-ons or extensions available; I afraid I don't know. Footnote 26/11 I do know now. As I should have expected, there's a goodly selection of JSON viewer extensions available for Chrome at https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/JSON Viewer.

I'd like to examine this too please. Where can I do so?

Thank you. As it's short I may as well repeat the wording here. "Call a General Election "I would like there to be another General Election. "I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election."

What is the URL of this petition? I want to read it.

https://www.facebook.com/labourparty/posts/when-your-family-and-friends-ask-you-what-labour-has-achieved-so-far-send-them-t/1090481149116565/ Do you mean going from rhyming with Message to rhyming with Massage? Or was it really a hard g to start with, rhyming, say, with Farague/Faraig or Fararg?

What makes you think false plates? The photo on the above link https://x.com/DulwichRoads/status/1858796233034182959?s=19 shows the number clearly, MV70CGU, which DVLA has as a taxed and mot'd 2020 1995cc black electric/diesel BMW. Does that tally? How is the scam you mention worked?

The photograph seems to be of a notice (as prescribed by regs) advertising the application. The full application details can be seen at https://app.southwark.gov.uk/premises/applied/884253, which confirms gebbjane's post.

SNTs don't, as you seem to imply, consist of just PCSOs. This one comprises a sergeant, two PCs and a PCSO: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/351681-dulwich-hill-newsletter-september-2024/#comment-1681337 or https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/met/southwark/dulwich-hill/on-the-team/crime-map. i've been to another SNT's meetings, and looked at the Met details of some others, and that complement looks fairly typical. I've not been to one of these Cuppa things so can't speak of them.

> understand that you cannot process Lloyds Bank cheques through LLane. You can according to the Services Available -- Cheque deposits page got to via https://www.postoffice.co.uk/branch-finder/0100072/east-dulwich The lookup details there for Lloyds says: "Cheque deposit Yes – with a personalised paying in slip and a deposit envelope from Lloyds Bank "Lloyds Bank cheque deposit envelopes are also available from Post Office branches"

In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online. There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker. More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.

Is it purely a post office?

According to https://www.compass-pools.co.uk/learning-centre/news/the-complete-guide-to-swimming-pool-maintenance/: ... "Your weekly tasks should include: ... Checking the pH levels and adjusting the water balance ... The ideal pH rating of swimming pool water is between 7.0 and 7.6. Anything lower than 7.0 and metals and pool finishes can start to corrode, while anything above 7.8 and there can be issues with scaling due to calcium salts in the water and chlorine becoming ineffective." And for comparison of different pH values, see for example the examples chart at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z38bbqt#zb2kkty There are several other sites that can easily be found that say something about variation and correction of pool pH levels.

Can you clarify please. Did you attach a photograph to your post? On what date, and at what time, both in Lordship Lane, and inside Sainsburys (presumably the DKH one?), did you see them? What was their intent in Sainsburys?

The phone number seems to be that used by several London boroughs for PayByPhone contact( though, probably incidentally, different from the one give for phone bookings on the company's own website). They also say, at https://support.paybyphone.com/hc/en-001/articles/11574881494545-Is-PayByPhone-free: "PayByPhoneParking rates are set by the parking operator and should match the cost of paying at a traditional meter. However, some locations may add a small service fee, typically less than $0.50 (USD) or £0.35 (GBP), which is determined by the parking authority." There's nothing on the signage pictured to imply that the motorist is contracting with the council to pay any service fee for a stay up to 30 minutes. I suggest someone asks a councillor, to check what Southwark have to say and report back.

Gosh, a mere 61 years since "It's my party". I didn't know at the time that it was QJ's first production. I remember it like last week and probably have him to thank, for beating Spector to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_My_Party

The optimal solution might be for neighbours to co-operate, by each doing part clearance, and sharing and contributing toward the brown bins of those who do have them. The leaves can be tamped down when in the bins, and tend to diminish in volume over a few days anyway. Any brown bags , or even poly sacks, that people do have can be used as temporary storage between bin collections. PS: And/or ask the council if they would provide their own robust collection bags to select volunteer householders, on the understanding that residents will fill them with street leaves, stack them for collection, and return any left-overs?
