Rendel Harris, I think you do more harm on this forum than any of your accuseds.

I'm very uncomfortable, for the reasons set out in the attached, with the idea of the forum's being used to help a single poster make money. I'm asking Admin to remove this thread, as was done with the previous one, or to edit out the link. In the meantime, I suggest that every other Bulb user posts their own referral code here. I'm not going to post mine here, but if anyone wants to pm me for it and I give it to you, I'll also provide eventual evidence of my passing ?50 to a charity of your choice. The ?100, btw, was I believe offered to customers who'd been with the company for a year, instead of the standard ?50.

Don't forget strret directories and electoral registers. The London Metropolitan Archives have both. https://search.lma.gov.uk/SCRIPTS/MWIMAIN.DLL/263245100/2/2/29?RECORD&UNION=Y https://search.lma.gov.uk/SCRIPTS/MWIMAIN.DLL/263245100/2/1/14?RECORD&UNION=Y. Note what LMA say about the availabilty of the electoral regisiters on Ancestry, which you can use at any Southwark library. Southwark local history library may also have some hard copies. I think I remember seeing some old C20 ERs last time I was there. I assume they'll be in the online catalogue. https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ might be worth searching for specific persons or places. The searches can be done freely.

"It takes a trained mechanic, like Oli, up to three hours to remove a converter." http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/14638851/police-worried-by-rise-in-theft-of-catalytic-converters Thieves do it, destructively, a lot quicker, using tools like angle grinders; even, I've read, a saw.

I use the Met Office page for Lewisham. The 6pm update there for the five hours from 7pm has probabilities of 10. 50, 50, 20, and 60 percent respectively, of sleet or light snow, with 90% probability of heavy snow for five hours from midnight. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcpuzbpbp#?fcTime=1437955200&date=2019-01-31

Is this about the infestation you mentioned a year ago ( http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1882802,1897583 ) or a new one?

More likely to be a total stranger or two, beaming at you and saying "How are you doing?"

There are threads to this effect most years. From a 2012 one ( /forum/read.php?5,815659 ): > This scam has been around for years, don't know if it's still > the same people. They were operating round here when I moved > here 20 years ago!

I don't know the charity at all, but their website is at http://www.youngpeoplematter.org/. You can see their annual accounts with trustees' reports at http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/ContactAndTrustees.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1134959&SubsidiaryNumber=0. The 2018 accounts file is currently an unrelated one, and I've told the Charity Commission. The others seem ok. (PS The 2015 one is upside down, but you can use Adobe Reader to rotate it. I'm not going to plough through the b..y gov.uk portal or CC's online reporting form again to tell them. It seems anyway that that one's definitely the charity's fault.)

> Still overpriced. Nevertheless, I am interested and curious enough to want to read it, at least in part. I can't help that. So being able to do so has some value for me. I would have paid some money to do so.

The entity used is the "town centre". Page 14 of the 2013 report http://content.tfl.gov.uk/town-centres-report-13.pdf (2.6MB ) lists the universe of such in London, and shows those sampled in 2013. I see Peckham and Camberwell are within the universe. ED isn't, I think understandably. Elephant gets mentioned, but as just a shopping centre. The only way to answer your questions is to look at the source data. The average spend summary gives a rough idea of the spending pattern by travel mode over time. The report's not short of tables. ;) eg Table 24: Average spend by mode on day Table 25: Average spend by mode per visit Table 26: Average total spend per week by mode Table 27: Average total spend per month by mode You can find some data on parking satisfaction too. One percent of respondents admitted (Fig.49) to carrying a large awkward object.

Er, you realise who's going to get blamed, don't you?

I did actually mention the URL of this thread in some online feedback I provided on the Met. website the morning this thread started. I was pointing out the difficulty someone starting at their "something-youve-seen-or-heard" page https://www.met.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/soh/something-youve-seen-or-heard would have in arriving at what looked like a suitable place. I suspected that most people would count this as a suspicious activity rather than a crime and find themselves without a category in which to enter any information. I'd personally have deemed it as a crime -- in this case attempted theft - even though it would be arguable that the perp had not passed the preparatory stage (as per https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/inchoate-offences ), and in any case with very little chance of a successful prosecution -- just in order to make the report. But as it turned out that the registration number isn't known to DVLA ( https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax ), so either misremembered or false plates, I didn't think anything more from me there would be appropriate or likely to be useful. Had I witnessed the event, I think I'd have made it an immediate 999 call, so that possibly a local alert was broadcast, just possibly a vehicle and occupants matching the report was spotted soon thereafter by a free unit, possibly a stop-and-search was thought both justifiable and likely to be profitable, ... .

The OP reminded me of: "I am he as you are he as you are me And we are all together". So I looked up the lyric, just to confirm, and the rest followed. I've since listened to the original, and the web versions are indeed correct: "Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday Man you've been a naughty boy You let your face grow long" Er, simples, er, innit. I still prefer my version though.

Be prepared to provide them with what evidence you have that leads to the inference that the cars belong to traders and that it's enduring. They doubtless have limited resources for investigation; but I'd think they most probably do have the power to obtain at least the registered keeper details of any vehicles of justified interest. If it's not within their remit, they should at least be able to pass you on to the relevant department.

Your sole other post, since registering ten days ago, seems to have been removed already. What was that about?

While you're waiting for some inside information you could have a look at its source website: https://www.phorum.org/.

I've just spent the last fifty one years thinking it was "stupid butty Tuesday". And then I looked on the interweb ...
