The only mention of a double fronted house in Melbourne Grove that I've seen is your own, here: diable rouge Wrote on 11 September at /forum/read.php?20,2060456,2060775#msg-2060775 ------------------------------------------------------- > Melbourne Grove..Check > > Double fronted house...Check > > Garden backs onto Glengarry Road...Check Are there any double fronted houses in Melbourne Grove?

    Free Trees

    Part of the Mayor Of London's programme. From above URL: "Your trees will be a mixture of UK native species specially chosen by The Conservation Volunteers to fit perfectly with London?s native plant and animal life. They come in packs of 50, 20 or 10 saplings ? and they?re small, beautiful and easy to plant, making them the perfect addition to any communal green space." ... "We welcome applications from community groups, housing associations, tenants or residents associations, schools, friends of parks groups and other charities."
  4. How much of the pavement outside the Co-op belongs to the Co-op?
  5. What are you saying is the actual trick/scam?

  7. Once upon a time there was a film called Treacle Jr.
  8. I'm still using a monochrome laser printer. No more ink problems for me. Presumably that applies to colour laser printers too. Thanks for revealing printui.exe/dll (owned byTrustedInstaller) to me. It's the semi-obscurity of Windows that's so galling, especially to anyone with *n*x experience.

    Minidiscs

    From looking at the user manual and spec therein (linked from https://www.minidisc.org/part_Sharp_MD-MS701+MS702.html), won't a standard 5v DC supply (with the right jack size, and remember to check the polarity) plugged into the DC input socket do the trick?
  10. > "In most circumstances it's an offence, irrespective > of the presence or absence of road markings, to park > adjacent to a dropped kerb." For this and the exceptions, see s.86 of the Traffic Management Act 2004. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/18/section/86. Section 86(3) -- "The second exception is where the vehicle is parked outside residential premises by or with the consent (but not consent given for reward) of the occupier of the premises. This exception does not apply in the case of a shared driveway. " -- is consistent with the practice of not taking action against such a vehicle unless the occupier has complained about it. Section 14 of the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 as enacted http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/2003/3/part/2/crossheading/parking/enacted stipulates similarly, and its s.14(4) prohibits the issuing of a PCN where there hasn't been a complaint. I'm not sure that there hasn't been any updating or consolidation of either of the above provisions to change them substantially, but assume not. And they seem in line with councils' published guidance. If anyone wants to check, a Southwark council officer responsible for enforcement should be able to help.

  13. I trust you immediately contacted your bank to get the card made inactive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_loop Any sign of perps in the vicinity?
  14. The nearest thread on resizing images is halfway down this page.
  15. gbal30 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > When I last spoke to a traffic warden(?) about > this a few weeks ago in Peckham, he said that > loading bays are for commercial vehicles only Unless the relevant Traffic Management Orders say that, it seems ill-advised. It looks to me like a misunderstanding of the official guidance, from both https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/guide-to-parking/loading-and-unloading and https://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/parking-services/parking-and-traffic/parking-advice-members-public/loading-and-unloading#Parking%20bays, which includes: "All commercial deliveries and collections (including multi-drop and couriers) are included in the exemption." That guidance doesn't mention commercial vehicles. Nor does it say that non-commercial un/loading etc may not come within the exemption. The Bosworth judgment (p11; linked above) is content to include stopping to load the paid-for booty from a supermarket shopping session, and to include in its summary (attached) motorists acting in a private capacity. I think incidentally that it's also arguable here, though not necessary to do so, that delivery of donations to a charity shop would in any case count as a commercial delivery.
  16. > I think you should appeal. The sign states 1 hour. That grants permission to use the bay for up to one hour only to someone engaged in un/loading throughout the period.
  17. You don't give all the facts, but from skimming through some of the key cases at https://www.londontribunals.gov.uk/eat/key-cases?field_subjects_value=Loading%2FUnloading+exemptions I wouldn't rule out your having an arguable case, the 5 minutes interval notwithstanding. One important factor would be that it was solely unloading/delivering, rather than shopping. I'd start at the Bosworth et al.(2016) and Matin (2014) judgments, for summaries of some of the current established case law. I see that Louise Landih v. TfL, which as summarised in Bosworth involved an attempt to deliver a lawnmower to, and collect a chair from, an Oxfam shop, might have succeeded, if she hadn't messed it up by doing some shopping for small items at the same time. PS Though your twenty minutes parked, which I've just noticed, does look potentially excessive, and I think would need justifying if alleged; as does your five minute absence. The fact that a maximum of an hour is permitted for un/loading is irrelevant.
  18. Sounds as if it's maybe set to print more than one page per sheet. Check that control.

  20. I assume it was this one (copied from my browser cache; I'm not an Admin).
  21. Was that an informal warning or an official caution? I'm particularly interested in the extent to which the police treat these cases seriously if there's clear evidence of removal of papers containing personal information that might be used for id theft. Was there any that you know of in this case?

  23. Just spotted this one basking in the back garden. Looking up tells me it's a red admiral, which are said to be common, but it was unusual enough here to grab my attention. There are some whites fluttering around too. When I was young they all got called cabbage whites, though I see that there's a whole family Pieridae that includes several white types. They don't oblige by sitting still for long, and my lens is only 4x, so little prospect of getting a distinct view.
