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?

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!

Raising money to fight against Gun Crime within the youth community
ianr replied to ChantalDesire's topic in The Lounge
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.

Builders beware - thieves trying van doors
ianr replied to bobbsy's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
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.

Too many cars for sale on East Dulwich Road

TheArtfulDogger Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Contact southwarks trading standards team is my advice Ditto. 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. -

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

Plenty of Colloca papers around, from at least 2005. Just search for "pubmed placebo Colloca". Personally, I'd recommend -- assuming they're the ones I've heard -- three Radio 4 programmes by Geoff Watts and Ben Goldacre. Google "BBC Radio 4 placebo nocebo" for them. There are btw quite a number of papers reporting placebo effects in animals.

Not clear if it's a green paper or a > white paper or a discussion document There's already been an initial consultation. This is the resulting white paper / policy document, "Clean Air Strategy 2019". Links to both at https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/air-quality-draft-clean-air-strategy-2018. Official announcement here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-launches-world-leading-plan-to-tackle-air-pollution. It covers most types of air pollution. Dr Gary Fuller of KCL Environmental Research Group, was interviewed on BBC R4 PM programme today. From which: "There's a calculation that's been done that says, if you take one of the most modern wood-burning stoves, it's equivalent to driving about six of the most modern heavy goods vehicles up and down your road."He also reckoned that there are about two million wood-burning households, half of which use open fires, and that the best stoves produce about one fifth the pollution of an open fire.

Melbourne Grove package from Melbourne Australia

Melbourne Grove package from Melbourne Australia
ianr replied to ED_moots's topic in Lost, Found or Stolen
> Tracking confirmed it came from Melbourne, Australia - bit of a coincidence. If it's not a coincidence I'd suspect it was due to a PF employee absent-mindedly misentering the street name on your invoice. Is the postcode yours? Have you in any case given them the chance to check and to rectify any error? I'd also be very wary of giving any third party apparent title to the package, unless, just perhaps, absolutely convinced that is was meant for them. Far safer to leave the responsibility and risk clearly with PF. -
