You could probably have made a lot from the Daily Mail with a snap or two and a few paras of fluff or product placement. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/property/article-3689837/Own-designer-print-Gogglebox-couple-Giles-Mary-walls-Wiltshire-home.html > an amazing synchronisation Melvyn's doing William tomorrow morning, btw.

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.

Traffic now reported flowing well: see above.

The whole public website system (at least) seems broken at the moment. Very long latencies, sometimes timeouts, in trying to access even the public root https://www.southwark.gov.uk or, if managing to get that far, any of the branches. Do Southwark maintain statistics of the system performance? Is it their own system, or outsourced? ETA: Now running, even unto the Planning Register Search. Which then returns the "Unable to perform this task. A remote exception occurred." you mention, after submitting the search at https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/

They're unlikely to be British citizens. If they were, the evidence would be clear. But they are lawfully settled in the UK, though apparently without evidence that the Home Office will accept of their continuing residence since then. Yesterday Amber Rudd, our current Home Secretary, announced in the Commons a special Home Office task force to deal with the problem. This was actually one of the suggestions (see below) proposed in a Legal Action Group report, "Chasing Status", written by Fiona Bawdon. It includes a number of case histories, some of them very similar to those being publicised now, and some explanation of the relevant law: "Areas for consideration include: Creating specialist Home Office unit Recognising that these cases require a specific understanding of the history of immigration control and how Commonwealth citizens have been affected, to establish a specialised caseworking unit with the Home Office, to which applications such as these will be directed. A specialist unit would be able to fast-track cases for migrants who have been in the UK since 1973." Chasing Status ( https://www.lag.org.uk/?fileid=-17369, 16.5 MB) was published in 2014.

No I _don't_ find that to be so. With the qualification that "obstructing" rather than "blocking" seems to me a possibly better descriptor. On whose behalf do you speak, and with what authority, if it's for anyone else? What do you actually mean by "pertaining to"? Do you use a A-board yourself?
