Je vous pr?sente Pam?la

Perhaps I should organise some master classes. My standard technique now at self-service tills is just to bung the items into the bagging area. When that's completed I transfer everything two-handed back into the empty basket, with any overflow going into my rucksack or spare bag, and then take them all to the bagging shelf for final sorting. Re TLTsTCYIR, I did have a rational piece of spleen to vent, about Southwark Libraries having signed up to the Access to Research scheme, God knows when, without any mention of it on their E-resources web page. I only learned about the scheme by chance today, on another borough's website. When I searched the Southwark website for "Access to research" I did find one document that mentioned the scheme, and that was the June 2017 PDF "List of newspapers and magazines available from Southwark Libraries"!! Grrr. But I can't be bothered now. If I get to the library though, and find that there's no obvious way of accessing it there, I will be back.

It seems that the change may result in a loss of those two HD multiplexes for some people with the wrong type of aerial. If so, you could be without all of these: Com7: 56 5USA +1, 57 5Spike 1, 64 CBS Action +1, 67 CBS Drama, 82 Vintage TV, 84 Quest Red +1, 87 Keep It Country, 107 BBC News HD, 108 Al Jazeera Eng HD, 109 Channel 4+1 HD, 110 4seven HD, 113 RT HD, Com8: 55 5STAR+1, 86 More4 1, 95 Freesports, 96 Forces TV, 106 BBC Four HD, 115 BT Showcase HD (not free), 205 CBeebies HD, 40 Rocks and Co, 93 Together, 94 PBS America, 111 QVC HD, 112 QVC Beauty HD If so, more here: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1922074.

This article https://www.a516digital.com/2018/03/londoners-struggle-with-freeview.html confirms the prroblem for some, and outlines some probable causes and remedies. The most likely cause seems to be having a Group A aerial, which is good for the frequencies of the main multiplexes but may not be for the higher ones now used by Com7 and Com8, which is Group C/D aerial territory. The remedy then is to get a wideband aerial, ie one capable of covering the whole frequency range. This article sets out the aerial/frequency relationship quite nicely: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/reception_guide. If I were affected (I'm not; my TV doesn't have an HD tuner) I think I'd be trying an indoor aerial before going to any greater expense. Note what the first article says near its end about the possibility of another changearound in 2020!

These are the freeview channels carried by multiplex Com7, which has now been moved to UHF channel 55. Is it only BBC News that's missing, or all of them? 56 5USA +1, 57 5Spike 1, 64 CBS Action +1, 67 CBS Drama, 82 Vintage TV, 84 Quest Red +1, 87 Keep It Country, 107 BBC News HD, 108 Al Jazeera Eng HD, 109 Channel 4+1 HD, 110 4seven HD, 113 RT HD You might try manually tuning channel 55, if your Humax will let you. It might also just be worth scrolling though its freeview channel list, to see if it's placed BBC News HD somewhere other than #107. I had a box that on one occasion decided to place some channels somewhere like the 900s after a retuning.

When I looked seven days ago it was still flagged as pending decision. Its current status is shown as "Unknown". :) But given that the direct link to planbuild.southwark.uk:4190 (ie as in the OP), doean't currently work, and the pages https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/ and the one resulting from searching there for 17/AP/4421 were short of style sheets, I suspect there's a glitch io part of the planbuild system.

Do you want Controlled Parking YES or NO
ianr replied to James Barber's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Never mind optionality. Cut out the question about voting intentions. I don't see its relevance to the content of people's views on CPZs. It's also very likely to lead people to suspect that, DPA notwithstanding, the answer is going to be used for canvassing purposes. I'd also like to see a really large or representative selection, through a well-designed survey or otherwise, of the before-and-after views of people who've experienced the introduction of a CPZ. That would be valuable. -
Thank you. That's not "invalidated" as I understand it.

Try some Quiet Line tests, preferably with your phone plugged in the master socket, including some times when the lights on your hub tell you that the connection has dropped: https://support.zen.co.uk/kb/Knowledgebase/Performing-a-Quiet-Line-Test. I don't know if they pick up all instances of corroded wire connections (maybe exacerbated by moisture) but it's well worth a try. It places the problem squarely on the external line if so. Incidentally, I remember from when I had a similar problem on ADSL that the modem log, or maybe some other monitoring software, showed a definite temporary improvemnet in broadband connection quality after the phone rang, probably due to the warming effect of the current.

Champion, Dog Kennel, Denmark...Which hill is which?
ianr replied to Reg Smeeton's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
John Ruskin (1819-1900) first lived on Herne Hill when he was four. From an extract from his autobiographical Praeterita at https://blog.oup.com/2013/01/john-ruskins-childhood-home/ (there's a full version at https://archive.org/details/praeterita01rusk): Our house was the northernmost of a group which stand accurately on the top or dome of the hill, where the ground is for a small space level, as the snows are, (I understand), on the dome of Mont Blanc; presently falling, however, in what may be, in the London clay formation, considered a precipitous slope, to our valley of Chamouni (or of Dulwich) on the east; and with a softer descent into Cold Harbour-lane* on the west: on the south, no less beautifully declining to the dale of the Effra, (doubtless shortened from Effrena, signifying the 'Unbridled' river; recently, I regret to say, bricked over for the convenience of Mr. Biffin, chemist, and others); while on the north, prolonged indeed with slight depression some half mile or so, and receiving, in the parish of Lambeth, the chivalric title of 'Champion Hill,' it plunges down at last to efface itself in the plains of Peckham, and the rural barbarism of Goose Green. -
Two of the main eight freeview multiplexes broadcast from Crystal Palace, com7 and com8, are being moved from UHF channels 33 and 35 to channels 55 and 56. No change in quality of reception is predicted: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/coveragechecker/main/trade/SE22+8HH/NA/0/NA. It's a smallish set of program channels involved, including the HD versions of BBC Four , News and CBeebies, and RT; there's a full list at https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Crystal_Palace/PGSTART1770/irt666185. Your TV will probably tell you at the time that retuning is needed.

> what time this debate will be? It's an adjournment debate*. Last half hour of the sitting. * Explained here:https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/business/debates/adjournment/. Friday sittings are said at http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/occasions/calendar/#jump-link-2 to be from 9.30am to 3pm, though presumably they can run late or early. It'll be in Hansard pretty soon anyway. It should also be viewable on BBC Parliamentary channel, freeview 232.

> Admin why can I not post in business and service > ?? I want to warn people of jos building and > gardening it?s a known conman that was going by > the name pat handy or handy please let people Probably, as in http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?12,1842680 and regularly here, it's due to inclusion of a word that's in admin's current 'forbidden words' list. The Phorum software seems unfortunately to do the exclusion without any explanation. Try experimenting. I can't remember offhand whether the exclusion is also applied to a preliminary Preview. There have been previous threads which may be about the same person, eg http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1834931,1835989.

New to me too. This link is about applications for rentals in established bike hangars: https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/faq/ And a general guide at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/cycle-parking-guide/ There are also some council documents online about consultations and CGS grants recommended for installation of bike hangars.

"With regard to the management of the tourist accommodation it is important to note that Redcomb Pub Ltd own and operate 14 pubs within the Southeast of England, the majority within London. These pubs provide high quality eating and drinking venues in unique and characterful buildings. Of the 14 pubs, 7 already provide wide ranging bespoke and well-designed visitor accommodation." That's from one of their submitted documents that I copied here (above) on 27 Feb. You can see the chain's pubs, and details of the accommodation that some provide, at http://redcombpubs.co.uk/our-pubs/. I can't see any mention of hostel-type accommodation in any of the others. I'm neutral as to the application, just rather bemused by the PR fluff of the 'up market' claim. If there has been previous noise or other nuisance, make sure evidence of it is submitted.

Do you mean a suspension of parking restrictions, as here ... https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/guide-to-parking/suspension-of-parking-bays? Is there any other provision? What of the situation where there is no parking bay that can be suspended and reserved?

According to the map at https://geo.southwark.gov.uk/connect/analyst/mobile/#/main (screenshot attached) there are four categories of winter grittting routes in Southwark. LBS Frost Susceptible Roads LBS Resilience Netwprk LBS Urban Priority TFL Red Routes DKH is in the first category. Does anyone want to explore the taxonomy and any associated procedures? I did notice a fair amount of pavement gritting in ED, well before any snow arrived. PS: I se the topic's also been dealt with in James Barber's thread, starting at http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,336529,1913202,page=188#msg-1912784.
