  1. The standard course is to just amend the subject field of the first post.
  2. "We are recruiting on behalf of Acacia Avenue, an independent market research company who are the data controller on this project." In what capacity are you involved in this project? Are you working for Acacia Avenue? What is your connection with the local school? Which is it? You say you're a local parent but seem to live in Sydenham.
  3. I don't know. Eeyore of Ivybridge is apparently fun-loving, brave and timid. Meanwhile WWF have put an ad on the box asking me to adopt a polar bear. It's all too confusing. I don't think they'd get along together anyway.
  4. Does anyone have any rough idea how many flights a day use the KCH helipad?
  5. "Around Britain, the placid calm of urban ponds and watercourses is being disturbed by a rapacious new menace ? legions of abandoned pet terrapins." Independent 11 January 2010 https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/nature/look-out-abandoned-terrapins-about-1863903.html
  6. > I will look up the Sale of Goods Act. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 would be more appropriate. I think you're going to have to go to Wiltshire, to see what the Wardour Chapel really smells of. https://www.therecollectiononline.com/a-52052112/true-grace/true-grace-manor-scented-reeds-sacristy-250ml/ )
  7. That's good to know. Thanks for the info. It was the phantom flower picker that prompted me to ask. I remember seeing someone busy with a trowel on the beds about 9.45 one Sunday morning last year. I was slighly suspicious,, then thought it was much more likely to be neighbourly activity, but didn't feel up to stopping for a chat to resolve the uncertainty. And these things stick in the mind. :) Really glad to see everything's getting some rain at last.

  11. Are those raised beds on the triangular bit of pavement between Oglander and Grove Vale a community-run project?
  12. When/if you've ruled out other possibilities one of you might be interested in filing a report at David Spiegelhalter's Coincidences Collection: https://understandinguncertainty.org/coincidences. Me, I think the cat's a mindreader. ;-) But then there are those stories, I'm not sure how well validated, of cats finding their way home after being removed very long distances. https://www.google.com/search?q=cats+finding+way+back+home+hundreds+of+miles&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b This would be a very interesting variant on that. Has the cat ever been to your home or road before?
  13. I think this bit of Greendale may just squeeze into GG ward. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1895316,1895426#msg-1895426 ETA Yes, it does. The boundary follows the railway line on the attached map, which is the best I can find. For some reason I'm not seeing the overlay facility on https://maps.southwark.gov.uk.

  15. JaneB, how is the problem presenting itself? Is it that you've been allocated a startup date but been told that that can no longer be guaranteed?
  16. Contempt appeal judgment: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Crim/2018/1856.html. At para.12, concerning the initial contempt at Canterbury: "The judge emphasised that the contempt hearing was not about free speech, legitimate journalism or whether one political viewpoint was right or better than another. It was about ensuring that a trial could be carried out justly and fairly."
  17. Between what times were they taken?

  19. Sue, if you could find the replacement part, new or used, from another source, would that resolve the problem? If so, I'd suggest putting quite a bit of effort into that course. For a start, how about a query on Usenet group uk.d-i-y? If you don't have a news reader it's also accessible via https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/uk.d-i-y. Would making a replacement part be out of the question?

  21. The folk at Oxford believe in it. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/butthurt "US informal An excessive or unjustifiable feeling of personal offence or resentment. ?it's time to get over the butthurt from last year's playoffs? ?the butthurt just oozes out of this comment?"

  23. Not me. Your family has already profited from this forum more than probably anyone else. You do seem to like tacky promotions. In this Bulb one you've already made your ?50. Let someone else benefit, preferably many people rather than just the one who gets a free ?50 for every person who copies their link.
  24. It's an interesting question. Not one I've have had to worry about -- our common power consumption probably amounts to less than 10p a year. A solution involving a separate power supply and a dedicated billed meter looks to me like a heavyweight and expensive one and not, I guess, what you'd want. See eg https://www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/internet/en/blog/How-many-supplies-can-I-have-on-my-existing-electricity-supply.html. Even then, there could possibly be difficulties in having it with joint account holders: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5599656. Or, as far as I can see, you could install a separate private sub-meter, just as a landlord might provide for individual tenants. I assume it would have to be installed between the GFF meter and the security lighting. Any electrician should I guess be able to quote you a price. This article mentions ?200 for inclusive cost. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=92&t=1684427. My own preferred solution would probably be to simply calculate the approximate power usage and split that. You just need to know the power ratings and estimated hours of use. If it's a system that's on all the time but switches the lights on just when motion is detected, you'd need to know the ratings for two modes -- the standby one, and the lit-up one. If you can't get those ratings from the manufacturer's literature they're easily measurable. If the system uses a three-pin plug a cheap plug-in power meter might do, depending on the system's power switching mode. I've one I could lend you. Alternatively a clamp meter, as used by an electrician, would I think be needed. It just needs a one-off measurement for the power ratings, and a little sensible sampling to get a goodish ballpark figure for the hours of use. So for example, if the standby mode uses 20 watts continuously, that would be about 175 kilowatt hours a year, say ?26. And if the lights use 200 watts and are on for an average of one hour a week, that's another 10 kWh, ?1.50ish pa. I've no idea what your setup might actually use, but you get the idea.
