  1. I assume that all watches use one of a small set of standard batteries. Swatch appear to offer free replacement if you can face going to the right shop, such as the Oxford Street one https://www.swatch.com/en_gb/services/free-battery-change.
  2. The system assumes you don't need to be told. It does tell the rest of us though.

    Ask Admin

    Why has thread 5,1839553 ("Angle grinder used to steal m/c off Copleston Rd at 10.30pm") disappeared? The last posting I have in my cached copy was at 08:08 on Friday 11th, and the thread seems to have sunk without trace later that day.
  4. > My research has been approved by the School of Psychology Research Ethics Committee. You don't name the institution. :)
  5. The article says "The contractor has however agreed to arrange for the system to be reprogrammed so that any car with a disabled badge registered against it will not need to pay a ticket.". Do blue badges routinely have a car registration number linked to them? The Southwark online application page doesn't say that information is needed. In fact one page say "The badge can be used in any car the badge holder is driving or is a passenger in.". Is there even any facility anywhere for connecting a blue badge with car registration(s)?
  6. I've still got some Picturehouse free member ticket entitlements, that expire on the 29th (as I won't be renewing my membership). The only thing I'm minded to see before then is the Al Gore live conversation + film (An Inconvenient Sequel) showing at 19.15 this evening https://www.picturehouses.com/cinema/East_Dulwich_Picturehouse/film/al-gore-in-conversation-an-inconvenient-sequel. If anyone here was wanting to see it but was put off by the cost (tickets are 15.80/14.80), you could pm me about the availability of a guest ticket (for say a ??5 contribution if affordable). The film itself is on release (Picturehouse Central, and Cineworlds) from next week, according to http://www.londonnet.co.uk/films/aninconvenientsequeltruthtopower.html.
  7. You're a Sydenham resident but clearly more familiar than me with the numbering of LL even after decades here. What/whose are the premises you're talking about? And what and how do you know of the identity of its prospective new occupiers?
  8. Why the gnomics? Are you the first stage of a viral campaign? Meanwhile: from the Planning Statement at http://planbuild.southwark.gov.uk/documents/?casereference=17/AP/2951&system=DC: The Council stated that one of the reasons for refusal of 16/AP/1315 was that ?The loss of the retail unit (Class A1) within this protected shopping frontage would increase the number of non-retail uses to an unacceptable level resulting in material harm to the retail character and vitality of the shopping parade, contrary to Strategic Policy 3 'Shopping, leisure and entertainment' of the Core Strategy (2011) and Saved Policy 1.9 'Change of use within protected shopping frontages' Southwark Plan 2007.? 4.5 The intention of this application is to apply for this same change of use from Class A1 retail unit to Class A3 restaurant/caf?, but to provide robust evidence to demonstrate that the loss of the retail unit would not lead to material harm to the retail character and vitality of the shopping frontage.
  9. I doubt it was the council. The page you mention is at http://southwarkmagazine.com/news/8275/Occupiers-reach-for-Peckham-Levels. The mag. itself is a private one, unconnected with the council. The subsidisers appear to be the Peckham Levels project, http://www.peckhamlevels.org/about/, which was awarded to Make Shift Community Ltd, http://www.makeshift.org/. I see that Make Shift similarly offered a limited number of subsidised places in Brixton Pop, another of their temporary projects. Peckham Levels Ltd is wholly owned by Make Shift Community Ltd. Make Shift has two active entities with significant control: (1) Mr Carl Turner (2) The Collective Partners LLP (which holds at least 75% of shares) The Collective Partners LLP has one active person with significant control: Mr Reza Mohammad Merchant. All according to Companies House. Southwark is the landlord and enabler. Possibly that's all? Wherever it was advertised, they seem to have got the applicants: http://www.peckhamlevels.org/blog-1/2017/6/28/countdown-to-launch. There's a useful Southwark News summary too, at http://londonbulletin.co.uk/gentrification-of-peckham-continues-as-car-park-plans-reach-new-level-p2978-271.htm. Remember when it was just the site of a Sunday morning boot sale?

  11. What does your lease say about responsibilities for maintenance?

  13. Shaggy, what then do you make of the government policy paper available at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/status-of-eu-nationals-in-the-uk-what-you-need-to-know, particularly para.6 (which is more or less summarised on the page I've linked to).
  14. Dbrskh, the answer to your question is Both. The three years is from s.6(2) of the British Nationality Act, on naturalisation. The five years is from the Immigration Rules / EU law, on leave or right to reside here. For anyone worried about the fine details of naturalisation, the HO internal guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/naturalisation-as-a-british-citizen-by-discretion-nationality-policy-guidance could be useful. ILR certainly can be revoked, particularly for serious criminal convictions, and similarly even EU citizens with permanent residence can be deported. It was some of those cases, or rather those where a court found ECHR rights to outweigh the arguments for removal, that so got up Mrs May's nose in her Home Secretary days. You can also lose ILR by being out of the country for more than two years: see eg https://www.gov.uk/returning-resident-visa. Which is pretty much the same as EU law on permanent residence, as in Article 16 of Directive 2004/38/EC.

    MAC problem

    > Tried the MAC last night and the log on screen did > appear after the apple logo, but not for long. I saw similar brief or intermittent signs of life in a laptop that had experienced a drink soaking, when I tried powering it up up every few months. I eventually had a go and managed to bring it back to full health, by giving the motherboard a gentle cleaning with cotton buds and isopropyl alcohol, concentrating on the bits where there seemed to be residues crossing the tracks.
  17. There's been no generator noise on the Hospital site at night for at least a week. That came from the personnel cabin that was in the middle of the whole plot, which was used by a night watchman. Syd Bishop removed it last week, and their last bit of plant was I think removed yesterday. The signs put up now that Kier have taken over speak of security via CCTV monitoring. Kier are working on the school side of the fence. Their own cabin has a generator that backs onto Melbourne Grove, and is substantially louder in my estimation. It's been waking me up when switched on at seven or even earlier, even with window and curtains closed. In the daytime, if there's other random engine noise that it merges with, it's usually no problem. But if on its own it's difficult to ignore. Attached is a small sample, recorded at 7.17 this morning with a mic between the curtain and the window pane. The mic was probably unsuitable, so I've amplified the recording a bit. For comparison, the radio in the background was at lowish listening volume. I understand that Kier have actually been setting up a communication channel for local residents, that I was going to go through. But as the matter's been raised I might as well add my own twopenn'orth of information here as well.

  21. >> Now renamed to "The Monty Bojangles Company Ltd". >> ?? > > What, Hope and Greenwood or Sugar Mountain? It looks more like a takeover of H&G by Monty B. The owners of Monty B. acquired all the H&G shares in 2015 and became sole directors. It remains to be seen whether they'll keep it on as a distinct brand. That said, H&G Ltd was actually being run as a dormant company from at least 2008, and still was one in February 2016, so it's not itself been the trading entity.
  22. There is perhaps some comfort to be had from https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=in+the+exact+same%2Cin+exactly+the+same%2C+in+the+very+same&case_insensitive=on&year_start=1700&year_end=2008&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t4%3B%2Cin%20the%20exact%20same%3B%2Cc0%3B%2Cs0%3B%3Bin%20the%20exact%20same%3B%2Cc0%3B%3BIn%20the%20exact%20same%3B%2Cc0%3B.t4%3B%2Cin%20exactly%20the%20same%3B%2Cc0%3B%2Cs0%3B%3Bin%20exactly%20the%20same%3B%2Cc0%3B%3BIn%20exactly%20the%20same%3B%2Cc0%3B.t4%3B%2Cin%20the%20very%20same%3B%2Cc0%3B%2Cs0%3B%3Bin%20the%20very%20same%3B%2Cc0%3B%3BIn%20the%20very%20same%3B%2Cc0.
  23. You can find leak and maintenance reports on a map at https://inyourarea.thameswater.co.uk/, and enter your own report if you want. It seems to be the same map for several categories, with the same markers. Entering any local postcode will do to see it. The only one that might relate to the OP seems to be planned maintenance a bit further up Rye Lane, scheduled to start today.
  24. Oyez!
  25. Although the page you were both looking at has the title "Hope and Greenwood | Covent Garden London" it's actually on someone else's site, www.coventgarden.london/hope-and-greenwood . The actual H&G website is http://www.hopeandgreenwood.co.uk (from which it ppears as if they're currently selling only via Sainsburys).
