The optimal solution might be for neighbours to co-operate, by each doing part clearance, and sharing and contributing toward the brown bins of those who do have them. The leaves can be tamped down when in the bins, and tend to diminish in volume over a few days anyway. Any brown bags , or even poly sacks, that people do have can be used as temporary storage between bin collections. PS: And/or ask the council if they would provide their own robust collection bags to select volunteer householders, on the understanding that residents will fill them with street leaves, stack them for collection, and return any left-overs?

Nah, all you have to do is sign in, save it somewhere in its Apple format, load it into a decent graphic file manager, reduce it from its 4,000x1,800 pixels, save it to a standard canonical format, and it turns from something that seemed like an Oz psychedelic mode image to this:

Superstar former Kingsdale student wins Gold at Paris Olympics

I gather from https://www.tri247.com/triathlon-news/elite/world-triathlon-championship-elite-men-2024-date-start-time-preview-how-to-watch#:~:text=All the action will be,subscription service%2C Triathlonlive.tv., that he can be seen now, by them as has access to subscription services, taking part in the final event of this year's championship, in which he's currently the leader by several hundred points. After a short interview with him on R4 Today programme at 7.30 yesterday, I think ITV (?X) was mentioned.

Royal Mail - late deliveries - what is happening?
ianr replied to Borderlands's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Do you happen to know which office does all the actual SE22 district pillar box collections? I'm curious as to who is responsible for the systemic failures that I've observed over the last four years, to change the Next Collection Day plate on pillar boxes each time a collection is made. I also wonder whether or not it's common in any other districts. -
Can I have a link to the source of the slide please, preferably to the whole document in which it occurs as Figure 5.

There are also two pharmacies in Nunhead giving vaccinations. [You'll need to put in a valid neighbouring (eg SE15 3HB) full postcode to get to their entries.] ETA: not so actually. Don't know how that happened -- they are included when I enter my SE22 postcode. Incidentally, Kristal do walk-ins too. I was in and out with a flu jab in five minutes this morning, after having phoned (15 min. :-)) to check, as the online system doesn't do same-day bookings.)

They're using both Spikevax (Moderna) and Pfizer ones this time, but say individuals don't have any choice (though I don't think that necessarily precludes their choosing to override specified practice if you give them good reason). When I was looking around for the basic information -- https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/ easily found via https://nhs.uk -- I didn't get round to finding who they'll give which to. It will be there somewhere. Look maybe for something on the technical side for practitioners and administrators, like the Green Book. ETA: More info here about the JCVI vaccine recommendations, though even there I can't see anything definite re the over-18s. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-autumn-2024-vaccination-programme-jcvi-advice-8-april-2024/jcvi-statement-on-the-covid-19-vaccination-programme-for-autumn-2024-8-april-2024 .A rash guess would be that the Moderna one would be chosen, as easier to manage, and possibly cheaper. But I see that there too you get pointed to the Green Book. ETA PS: I see that in November 23 I was given the Pfizer one, at a pharmacy, so no more guesses from me.

I agree about the separate section. The old Beeb Messageboard for The Archers had one called The Bull, for loungelike chat, and another, The Bull Upstairs, for games: https://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbarchers. That model's endured satisfactorily for years in one of the remaining Mustardlands: http://www.paranormal.org.uk/mustardland/index.php.

Carnegie Library Hub may close by December 2024.
ianr replied to Keith.Whitworth's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I've done some searching and come up with these. The first looks very helpful for getting to know about the Hub itself, and the others may give some useful history. I've yet to look through them myself. https://carnegielibraryhub.org.uk/ -
Carnegie Library Hub may close by December 2024.
ianr replied to Keith.Whitworth's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/libraries-0/carnegie-library It's a nice little library and meeting place. One of the Carnegie ones of course. Actually not so little, the actual building: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Carnegie_libraries_in_Europe#/media/File:Carnegie_Library_Herne_Hill.JPG I get books from there sometimes, and have been to an occasional talk. Last week there was a foursome quietly playing ?bridge/whist there mid-morning. I'm afraid I don't know anything about the Hub project itself. -

Royal Mail Late Deliveries and the price we have to pay
ianr replied to a topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Mary there may be a remedy -- paradoxically perhaps, and maybe a bit scarily, when the matter reaches the high court, where the matter is made into a civil debt. I wrote about it on page three of this thread, and there's also an authoritative account (see in particular the statutory declaration section) at https://www.londontribunals.gov.uk/eat/understanding-enforcement-process/moving-traffic-pcn-enforcement-process Or perhaps I've jumped the gun and you're already past that stage? -

ianr replied to lilolil's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I don't know if it complicates matters, but I see at https://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/office/617230/clutton-cox-limited that Clutton Cox (t/a Law Central) are said to be not an SRA-regulated law practice. Whereas Glazer Delmar are/were. But I can't imagine that there aren't responsibilities devolving somehow from that regulation on a practice's ceasing. -

What ICO says at https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/foi/freedom-of-information-and-environmental-information-regulations/public-authorities-under-foia/ may be relevant: Schedule 1 may not list an organisation in the way you expect. For example, within the education sector, the school itself is not the public authority. That falls to the governing body of a school, further education institution or university.

[OTOH :) ] Yes, there are obvious signs of 'rotating' deliveries, ie skipping some days, as at https://www.royalmail.com/service-update. I think they may have amended their criterion for reporting of Delivery Offices affected-- only three in the latest lists -- to now just "the offices most affected". (And several long-overdues, including last week's Eye)

'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S
ianr replied to Castleton's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Indeed. Details at https://www.gov.uk/find-licences/street-collection-licence and then https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/cc/charity-collection-licensing/street-collection-licences/ (particularly the "During collection" section). Then try going through the https://www.met.police.uk/ar/applyregister/ccl/met/apply-for-charity-collection-licence/ application questionnaire as if you were Cityhive London, remembering that you're not a registered charity. -
Has anyone been able to see a GP at the TJGP practice this week? According to https://my.askmygp.uk/?c=G85132#/staffAvailability (copied here) there's not even one of their locum GPs available, just nurses or nurse practitioners. Have GPs from the Extended Primary Care Service (EPCS) been filling in? (If you do go to the webpage you need to click on the top menu to move from All Sites (whatever that means) to Tessa Jowell)

Food waste bin - what is acceptable to line it with?
ianr replied to Sue's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
When I've seen them it's one guy trundling a large bin along the road, into which he empties our small bins. Having wads of newspaper coming out with the rest and having then to extract them looks to me like unwelcome and unnecessary trouble for them. It seems to me anyway rather like an unnecessary complication on all sides. If I weren't using compostable bags I think i'd rather be dealing with just a maybe messy bin, without any additional messy newspaper.
