Now rectified. (Even if the > evidence points to no one caring in first place. > Apart from Ian ;-). ) Who just doesn't care to take part in the discussion here. To fill in gaps, the post referred to, on the preceding page, is /forum/read.php?20,2091518,2093816#msg-2093816. The first, Sky, link quoted Norton's chief executive in March 2019: "All day long we would have preferred to remain but now we've looked and reviewed our business model in the light of Brexit. ... We have the potential to be bigger, better and stronger, to go across a wider range of export territories than we would ever have looked at if we had stayed Remain." The corrected, Guardian, link is about the firm now going into administration: "The 122-year-old brand ... had fallen victim to an assortment of overwhelming forces ranging from Brexit, a punchy HMRC pursuing the firm for ?300,000 in unpaid taxes, and tough international competition that made it impossible for Norton?s traditional bespoke approach to succeed." I suspect we'll have to wait some time, though, for substantial evidence of harms done by Brexit in itself. Edited to remove the otiose 'Officially' from the subject line.

  8. Here's oliviabacker at work in one of their other forums: http://www.brightways.org/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3499. It's quite amusing in a way, in Pakistan in one post, then recommending a Texas removal company. And a little group of identities that give positive ratings to each other and take turns to be the lead post. Perhaps one will be along soon.
  9. > I have reported it to the police, so have multiple > neighbours but we keep getting told that the car is > not of interest, most likely because the plates are wrong. Which suggests to me that _neither_ of the plates you mention matched a stolen car report in the police records. I believe Southwark amy well have conditional direct access to DVLA registered keeper records. I wonder if it will be worth telling them the story, to see if the plate switches provide them with a legitimate interest and power to access details of, and check with, the keepers, or at at least the one for the current plate. I'd have thought that probable. The switch does at least raise a suspicion that the car is or has not not been properly taxed. James, do you have any idea? A blue car with the second number plate, and ? some abrasion and rust of the nearside body below door level, was still there an hour ago. If you have good reason to believe it's stolen, have you thought of fairly harmlessly disabling its removal by, say, boxing it in?
  10. http://www.bikeshd.co.uk/ trawls and conveniently publishes details of bikes "found on sale in and around London", specifically to help people trace stolen ones. The first two pages I looked at each had photos and details of 60 bikes, all currently listed on Ebay. I've not worked out what their update protocol is, but it looks as if they add items at least hourly during daytime. Their home page currently says 15 bikes addded today, 139 'this week', which looks as if it means 'from Monday'. I think it's best to assume they trawl only Ebay and to keep checking Gumtree as well.
  11. I think that's one more reason, a strong one, for reporting the offence to the police. Bearing in mind, though, that if you want the police or LA to be able to do their job and act against the offender, you need to be prepared to provide a witness statement and, if the case gets as far as a trial with a not-guilty plea, to turn up and give evidence in court. Though in a case like this, if the evidence is good and points uncontestably to them, a perp may well sensibly admit guilt before then. Correction 16/1: Southwark actually say they can prosecute if evidence is available, so look to be the people to report to. If you are interested in having the perp pursued, I think I'd emphasise that, just in case it might otherwise get lost in the default 'clear the mess and mark sorted' pigeonhole. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/street-care/fly-tipping Correction 2, ten minutes later: Just noticed your own edits, Gloves. I'd be interested to hear of any outcome.
  12. Has that spot been used before?
  13. Re admissions consultation: https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/page/?title=Admissions+Consultation+September+2021+entry&pid=175 ETA Only just noticed the additional thread on just that topic: /forum/read.php?29,2088861

    UK Aid Match

    I see that the link above now shows that the management of Match Aid has been outsourced. You can see the charities enrolled and open for donations at https://www.ukaidmatch.org/grants/?search=*&open=Yes. Unfortunately that page doesn't give the closing date for donations to benefit from the 100% Match Aid. (The "End Date" shown there clearly means something else.) This is just to point out, if you're thinking of donating to Sightsavers, that midnight today 9 January is the deadline for donations to them to be matched: https://www.sightsavers.org/aid-match-explained/.

  17. This article, which you seem to have copied and pasted in full from https://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/8549739/The-superscrimpers.html is By Helen Gent 7:00AM BST 05 Jun 2011 WHY not just inform us of the article, tell us why you want us to read it, and give the URL?

  22. Today is National Gingerbread House Day. https://nationaldaycalendar.com/what-is-today/ Keep lean, and avoid warm ovens.
  23. Royal mail actually. But please do report it to them asap, while the trail may be slightly warmer, and making it clear that it's already been confirmed by your bank as a double theft of mail and subsequent fraud. Th RM website's attempts to lead people to web pages other than the contact detail ones could almost have been designed to derange. Even the copy-and-paste of their contact page URL leads to a different page. So I'm copying what is on my screen at the moment at personal.help.royalmail.com/app/contact#category-tree-after .

Therefore, the issue of poor bioavailability appears to be resolved by adding agents such as piperine that enhance bioavailability, thus creating a curcumin complex." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5664031/#B17-foods-06-00092 Even academic studies apparently tend to add something like piperine to help keep curcuminoids in the body longer and hence more available.
  25. Usarato is imo most probably another of the increasing number of usernames here whose end purpose is to increase the exposure and apparent bona fide reputation, as rated by search-engines, of some commercial websites. The next stage would be more posts also seeking to appear part of an ongoing conversation, but containing a web link. I'd advise against responding to this and similar posts at all unless evidence to the contrary emerges.
