  4. Are those raised beds on the triangular bit of pavement between Oglander and Grove Vale a community-run project?
  5. 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?
  6. 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.

  8. 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?
  9. 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."
  10. Between what times were they taken?

  12. 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?

  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. > 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.
  19. 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
  20. 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.

  22. > one of the few things they didn't steal was his mobile so > standing outside and ringing would not help in this case. My mistake. 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?
  23. 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.
