  1. If that's so, you could try try clearing cookies for the site too. It can't do any harm anyway.
  2. What exactly is the 'security check' asking you to do, and after what action does it appear? Any screenshot? Have you tried killing all the other open tabs in your browswer?

  4. Chemist And Druggist was carrying stories late last year that some pharmacies, given recent NHS funding reductions, were considering no longer providing free home deliveries of prescriptions: eg https://www.chemistanddruggist.co.uk/news/lloydspharmacy-charge-new-patients-home-deliveries, https://www.chemistanddruggist.co.uk/news/2-5-pharmacists-expect-stop-home-deliveries-after-cuts. So presumably it's the pharmacies that bear the cost, or at least possibly a substantial part of it. If so I also presume that they could exercise discretion to carry on doing so for those with special needs. I suspect the area CCG would be the body to have a say and interest in this. I see, for example, that Wirral CCG issued an edict saying that their GP practices will no longer accept repeat prescription requests from pharmacies. And in the NHS online drug tariff the only mention I've found of delivery charges payable by NHS to pharmacies is of those for specified medical appliances.
  5. This is what the Canada Goose company, and their suppliers of down, have to say: http://www.canadagoose.com/uk/en/fur-and-down-policy/fur-and-down-policy.html http://www.featherind.com/company-policy.htm

  7. Take care distinguishing breastfeeding cafes from adventure playgrounds.
  8. IANAA but ... a) Surrounding fully specified URLs with angle brackets is actually a long-standing convention, and has its justifications. See for example https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/5.1_Wrappers.html. I use them myself around URLs in plain text emails and newsgroup posting, to protect them from line breaks or inadvertent conjunction with surrounding text.. b) I doubt whether Admin will want to delve into Phorum source code, or mess about with it, should he find what looks like the relevant bit. c) If you search for 'angle' in Github k-9 issues, what you're complaining about has been flagged. I suggest monitoring there for the time being.
  9. I'm reminded of this thread on a similar issue, but at a different shop: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1822325. From a rather limited sample of two I'm wondering if there's a common theme; maybe retailers sometimes finding the contracts less rewarding and more demanding than they'd anticipated. Or maybe it's just the kind of transaction that's more likely to occasionally disclose stress anyway. But that's no good excuse for not properly advertising any restrictions they've felt constrained to apply.
  10. Search on Zeus virus warning and you'll get some reassurance that it's a known tech support scam: the popup is a fake warning. You did well to power down. It's probably best to assume that some misdirecting malware or worse may have been installed on your system (maybe piggybacked with a recently installed program) and do a clean-out. There's plently of specific advice about, like https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-windows-detected-zeus-virus-popups/. As Blah Blah says, there are adequate free scanners and cleaners around. ETA: Just reread the OP. I'm not quite sure now why I concluded so definitely that it was a scam. I still suspect it most probably was, even if the substance of the message was a demand rather than a warning, so add those two words to my description. How did you arrive at the Zeus attribution btw? Did it announce itself? I think it might have been that inference that influenced me.
  11. How is the East Dulwich Action Group constituted?
  12. And please identify yourselves.

  18. If I were touring and looking for cheapish non-central hostel accommodation I'd be inclined to choose the YHA Thameside hostel at Rotherhithe https://www.yha.org.uk/places-to-stay/london rather than this one. . More spacious for a start. Even quite primitive YHA hostels, afair, had a common lounge area, distinct from the kitchens for self-cookers. I don't remember three-tier bunks in the YHA either.

    UK Aid Match

    Just to draw attention to this, as deadlines are approaching. Briefly, more than twenty selected UK charities doing work overseas run a specific UK Aid Match campaign over a period of not more than three months between September 2016 and March 2017, and the Department for International Development matches contributions to them 100% (but excluding the Gift Aid benefit). I'd not been aware of this before, even though there seem to have been various rounds of it since 2013. I only learned of it from Sightsavers, whose own campaign runs until 8 January. But they're clearly all of limited duration, and nearing their deadlines if not already there. You can see more details and a list of the charities involved in this round at https://www.gov.uk/international-development-funding/uk-aid-match. I'm a little annoyed I dodn't know about it earlier. It's a lot more beneficial than the Gift Aid scheme (which I trust also applies). If donating, note that it's only contributions given to an appeal clearly advertised as participating in UK Aid Match that will benefit from the matching.

  22. > but a strange 15-17 minute gap both ways late in the peak (morning 08:38-08:53) It's just the standard roughly equally-spaced half-hourly services from W. Croydon and Beckenham Junction, that would make for four 15 minute intervals, augmented until 09:32 by the half-hourly Thameslink Sutton-Wimbledon loop trains diverted from their usual route through Herne Hill. So you still get two fifteen minute gaps per peak hour, and four shorter ones.
  23. I was going to put these in the New Benches thread at http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1866377, but here seems more apposite. The two benches at the bottom of Greendale, vandalised to the point of uselessness. I took some photos of them on 20 October. A week later they'd been removed. That's all I know.
  24. If the whole thing is less than 150m in height and more than 6km from an aerodrome or airfield it doesn't seem to require any light as a matter of regulation. The single red light is a CAA recommendation of what they think is judicious for a crane up to 90m tall, https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP%201096%20In%20Focus%20-%20Crane%20Ops.pdf, and Kier and the crane suppliers seem to concur. If the thing's less than 300 feet in height - which is quite possible, given that the jib length seems to be 45m - it doesn't even have to be reported to the CAA to be included in a Notice To Airmen. The Vauxhall crane had a tower that was 563 feet tall, and the jib was raised to a total height of 723 feet at the time of the accident, according to the AAIB accident report. https://www.gov.uk/aaib-reports/aar-3-2014-g-crst-16-january-2013 The following is from the Lambeth approval of the planning application for the helipad: "10.5 Helicopters would approach and depart from the hospital in a westerly and easterly direction on the same flight paths that existing helicopters take to/from Ruskin Park. ... The CAA will have the final ?sign off? prior to the helipad becoming operational. Ruskin Wing is on the existing flight path helicopters use to land in Ruskin Park and the applicant has confirmed that the flight paths would not change only the landing zone. Therefore the helicopter route is already identified and operational" https://moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/documents/s61618/ Don't the signs in East Dulwich Road have a contact phone number? With whom, I'm not sure. Anyway, it seems to be on again tonight.
