  1. There's a recent interview with police officers at https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/southwark-polices-lead-detective-moped-crime-whats-done-keep-ever-growing-menace-bay/.
  2. Your local library is more or less certain to provide free access to http://www.ancestry.com, which contains census information. Other online genealogical sites and providers, such as http://www.findmypast.co.uk, are also available. I've got a subscription to the http://wwww.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk and could have a look for any mentions (rather unlikely though) next time I visit. Most such subscription sites usually also allow non-subscribers to do index searches. Sorry -- I've just realised the date. The 1911 census is the most recent one available at present.

  6. I'm looking for at least a very short loan of a an ATX power supply unit with 24 pin connector (fairly standard for PCs), to do a substitution test. My PC's developed a classic symptom - shutting down a second after power-on, just enough time to give the fans a quick whirl. I've narrowed the problem down to power supply or motherboard.
  7. DVLA says of registration number YJ82MHD "Vehicle details could not be found".
  8. This page makes it clearer: http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNHSservices/dentists/Pages/nhs-dental-charges.aspx "You will not be charged for individual items within an NHS course of treatment. Depending on what you need to have done, you should only ever be asked to pay one charge for each completed course of treatment, even if you need to visit your dentist more than once to finish it." Note too where it goes on to say that even further courses of treatment within two months are lumped in with the previous one as far as charges go. There are clearly some bargains to be had. You could in theory have a dozen fillings one day, and a dozen extractions a few weeks later, all for a single Band 2 charge.
  9. Yes. The system immediately reports successful 'attachment' of uploaded files, before you post the message itself. But if you try to post the message and it includes a word from the current 'bad words' list, the system simply discards it without providing any feedback.

But there is no cycle lane. I agree with you, in that I think it's probably a warning to vehicles not to encroach unwittingly into a virtual lane where there are quite likely to be cyclists. Possibly the best they could do short of a give way or halt marking.

Admittedly it doesn't have the hardcore attractions of somewhere like the Bramber Museum http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/gallery/2013/sep/13/curious-world-walter-potter-pictures-taxidermist-victorian/.

They are intended to supplement the prescribed signs and road markings [see Paragraph 2.11]. ... "2.11 The purpose of coloured surfacing, as indicated in Table 2/1, is to supplement the prescribed signs/ markings: to improve contrast of road markings and discourage vehicles from encroaching on an area of the road [see Plates 1 to 6], or to highlight an area of the road intended for buses and cycles. [see Plates 7 to 9]." I see that they also specify the use of Light Colours to indicate high friction surfacing, but don't think this is an instance, and the colour is in any case more like Plate 8 than Plate 10; though it doesn't appear to me to be part of a designated cycle lane. Might the engineers have thought that even the possible uncertainty could only be beneficial?
  13. Incidentally, I see there's a couples counsellor doing research on strategies for dealing with the "feeling that a relationship has ?lost its spark?, who's looking for participants in the study: see http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1851911.
  14. Perhaps someeone might post a link there. [winky smiley thingy]

From TV documentaries I take it they're fairly practised at getting information on the patient's state, signs and symptoms, and in providing advice on and talking you through any immediate first aid action. They have, after all, to make a professional decision on the priority to assign to each call, and how to achieve the best possible outcome. They could even, I assume, have been able to advise whether bringing the patient to A&E yourself, if possible, would be best in the circumstances.
  16. I was just curious. I'm wondering if you might get a better take-up if you also advertise in the Family Room.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  20. > My research has been approved by the School of Psychology Research Ethics Committee. You don't name the institution. :)
  21. 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)?
  22. 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.
  23. 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?
  24. 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.
  25. 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?
