> I was tempted to pull the emergency brake handle! I really wouldn't do that if I were you. Read on ... Wednesday 4/7. Got to Peckham Rye platform 1, hot and sweaty, at 16:04, and glad to see that the next ED train, the delayed 15:55 to Caterham, was due in two minutes. Two minutes into the journey an announcement comes over the train's speaker: first stop Selhurst. Universal surprise and disgruntlement from the half dozen or so fellow passengers in the carriage. Shortly thereafter a halfwit pulled the emergency brake and we came to a halt near Tulse Hill. Nothing more until 16:18, when we were told over the speaker "We're currently being held here due to an emergency alarm being activated. As soon as this does get reset this train has authority to proceed on its way toward Selhurst, which is our next station stop. This train has been booked to run fast due to the late running of this service." A couple of minutes later a staff member turned up in the carriage. He turned out to be a trainee driver; his instructor stayed at the sharp end. He claimed there had been an announcment on the train. If there had, it would have been before any of us got on at PR. There was no announcment at PR either. But he did apologise. Someone asked him why the train couldn't stop to let us off. He said that that was under the control of the signaller. Eventually got to Selhurst at 16:39, back in ED at 17:23. At Streatham Common, on the way back (I suspect we were in the same train) there were repeated onboard announcments that it _wasn't_ a Victoria train, so a lesson may have been learned.

The travellers who took over the hospital site had a number of waste collection trucks and did their own fly-tipping there. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1735691,1736690#msg-1736690

You can see and download the determination by going to https://londontribunals.org.uk/, and then to pages Statutory Registers Search (within Environment and Traffic Adjudicators (ETA)) and then searching on these values: Enforcing Authority -> Southwark From -> 17/07/2018 To -> 17/07/2018 It seems to be the last of the three. For the asserted copyright conditions, see https://www.londontribunals.gov.uk/copyright-statement. I don't see how that can be taken to prohibit fair use, such as limited quotation for the purpose of discussion, but don't take my word for it. Incidentally, Southwark had a representative at the other two appeals, in which the decision was not overturned. And of ? several hundred hearings listed for the next week, none of them seems to have any cases where an enforcing authority is listed as attending.

I haven't got my head fully round the differences between iThingies yet. It's only fairly recently I got William and Henry^WHarry sorted. In Dock Green, PC Dixon would of course have been having a knock on their door anyway, for a quiet chat. I don't think there's any law preventing the Met from doing that. I can imagine it possibly having some benefits, but also being seen as otherwise -- ie v. unlikely to lead to a charge, and would put the possible perps more on their guard. Checking the local full electoral register for the names of the occupiers might be productive. Have there been any more recent sightings of the goods?

I can understand a JP not being willing to authorise a search warrant for a fishing expedition. Particularly if there was no evidence of the accuracy of the GPS system in the particular instance. But I'm left wondering how summary the police decision was. Is it known whether they'd checked for anything, such as records of known persons or similar incidents linked to the address, that might raise reasonable suspicion? I suppose it's possible to stand outside the place, dial the number and listen for any ringing. A hit, or better two, at that stage, preferably recorded, would I hope make it difficult for the police not to get involved, even if only to prevent a possible breach of the peace while you try to persuade the occupier to return your property. You don't know or can prove that the occupier stole the phone, or that they knew or believed it to be stolen property, so can't assume that they are committing any offence. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/60/crossheading/offences-relating-to-goods-stolen-etc The police can arrest once they have reasonable suspicion.

And a belated happy World Microbiome Day for yesterday. Let's hear it for the good little guys.

The ten year contracts expire on 31 March 2019. The survey https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/d02675d3/ mentioned at http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1945722,1946257#msg-1946257 has a closing date of today, 22 June, if you have anything you want to say about your preferences for the future contracts.

Note that the version of the survey for users of the Hambleden Clinic or Melbourne Grove surgery 1. Has a closing date of today, 22 June. 2. Is purportedly not just about the 8-to-8 service, and some very general questions, but also has one specific question, number 30, about user preferences in awarding of the new GP contracts at those surgeries after the current ones end on 31 March 2019. As the CCG's letter of 7 March to users of those surgeries said: "We would like to tell you more information about this proposal [the move to Dulwich Hospital] and to make sure that your views are taken into account when deciding who manages GP services in your surgery by telling us what you value about the current service and what you would like to see improved. This will help us to choose the most relevant provider and that the decision is in the best interests of patients and staff." "You can contribute your views in the following ways:" "** Attend the meeting on 22 March, 6:30-8:00pm at Dulwich Hospital... ** Complete a paper survey which will be available at the meeting or can be sent to you. ** Complete an online survey that will be available after the meeting." Question 30 is "Is there anything else that you would like us to take into account when making a decision about appointing a new GP services organisation to run your GP surgery?" I don't think this is a satisfactory way of canvassing or obtaining full opinions about such an important matter as the type of GP practice people want. I do fear it may be the only opportunity proffered. I don't incidentally recollect the question even being raised at the 22 March meeting.

Are they carrying any flags?

> Sounds familiar. Female blackbird alarm call? > Found this; hope link works. That's reassuring, thanks. I had been wondering if it was some kind of abandoned fledgling crying out in distress, but it's definitely a female blackbird, even unto the length of time she goes on for. I've not actually seen her while she was calling, though I guess she's probably the one that occasionally perches on a back garden tree branch. But yesterday I saw a crow, in the rough location of the calls, also going in for hefty alarm bahaviour, with lots of hostile squawking and threatening gestures from a flat roof, directed at a cat twenty feet below behnd a wall in a neighbouring garden.

Can anyone identify this?

Well done. I'd expect that the fact that you have video evidence more or less guarantees that the police (maybe someone from your local SNT?) will contact you sometime.

Thanks for letting me know about curved LED screens. I'm clearly falling behind. I only learned about filament LED bulbs last week. Do you want to be immersed and wrapped around? http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinion/curved-tvs-the-pros-and-cons-2912678

Mr Ben Bradshaw (Exeter) (Lab) Has the Secretary of State noted the very striking finding in our joint Committees report [1] that the fumes and pollution inside a vehicle are 10 times worse than those outside a vehicle[2]? As part of the public information campaign that he has just announced, will he ensure that it is directed at parents who drive their children to school, thinking they are protecting them when they are actually doing them much more harm than if they walked or cycled, as well as exposing other people?s children and families to more pollution and congestion? Michael Gove Absolutely spot on. I am very grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for making that point. All of us need to know more about the sources of air pollution, and he is absolutely right. I did not appreciate that until the Select Committees brought it to my attention, and I am grateful to him for bringing it to the attention of a wider audience today.

I've pm'd Siduhe to thank him/her for the post with the photographic evidence, and to suggest that the photo labelled surma.jpg would be better renamed memsaab.jpg. I'm too fearful to get involved in the thread further atm.

True. Here's a useful summary: https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/supreme-court-dismisses-85-parking-ticket-challenge/5051987.article.

My first reading of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 is that the uprooting is, as Amanda says, an offence, under s.13(1)(b). Section 13(2) makes trying to sell it a separate offence. Wild garlic doesn't seem to be on the Protected list in Schedule 8. If it were, that would make even picking it an offence. The Act distinguishes 'uprooting' and 'picking'. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/69/part/I/crossheading/protection-of-plants. I don't know about any specific Theft Act provision.
