  1. Sir Tony Redmond, Chair of the Consumer Council for Water's London and South East Region, was interviewed on R4 World At One today. He seemed fairly confident, iirc, that the accounting was transparent and easily monitored, and that CCWater would be very much on the case if there was any breach of the undertaking not to tax the customers for the incompetence. What actual powers CCWater has, I'm not sure. It's governed by a string of Memoranda of Understanding, and they have a Vision, and Values; details of all of which can be found at https://www.ccwater.org.uk/. I should have a recording of the interview that I may check later - it'll also be at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08j99fr - but there'll doubtless be much more varied media coverage and comment over the day. Fines go to the Exchequer, don't they?

  3. > Thank you. It's a Canon 600D with various lenses, not all Canon but all compatible. Commiserations. Do you have the lens and camera serial numbers? Without those or any other cogent evidence, it may not be easy to prove that any items are actually yours. I've looked at a sample 600D photograph online, and fortunately at least the camera's serial number is included in the Exif data. What the best strategy for use of this data, apart from passing it on to the police, if it's not already on one of the online peoperty databases such as https://www.immobilise.com, I'm not sure. I don't know whether publishing it now would increase your chance of recovering the items, but you could have a look at whatever Immobilise have to say about reporting it via their site.

I suppose you could take this up with a director. One of the two is actually a local accountant, as is the company secretary. :) He also, from the latest AR01 submitted, seems to be the current sole owner. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09180733/officers
  10. The bit between Edwards and McDonalds is just the right length for an all-out sprint as part of your high intensity interval training.
  11. > We usually get a booklet explaining where the money goes. I've found the 2017/18 edition online at http://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/1069/Council%20Tax%20booklet%202017-18.pdf (1.2MB). The GLA precept is conventionally included _within_ the council tax figure. But then there's the new Adult Social care precept. From page 4: "This year we have decided to increase council tax by 1.99%, and have decided to use the flexibility offered by the government to support Adult Social Care through a precept equivalent to 3% of council tax, giving a total increase of 4.99%." See page 6 for an example of how it's added to the basic Band D charge.
  12. > be aware that the council will tell the builders who complained and you may get harassed..... That was personal information which it would be unlawful for a council to release, and public servants should be habitually aware of their duty not to disclose it. See for example two other councils' assurances to potential complainants about confidentiality: http://cms.walsall.gov.uk/index/environment/pollution.htm and http://www.ambervalley.gov.uk/environment-and-planning/pollution/statutory-nuisance-noise.aspx. It's also information that is exempt from an FoI request, as shown in this failure of a person complained about to obtain the information via an FoI request: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/i_would_like_the_name_and_addres. If a complainant subsequently appears as a witness in court, that's a different matter, and outside the control of the council. Was it a Southwark officer that you believe released your identity?
  13. > Ianr yes I was told the same. Bob, I was quoting you and simply asking: which of A or B? Anyway, for anyone inclined to fact-check the rumour of simultaneous closures ... The sole director/owner of Xoco Ltd of 44LL, incorporated March 2016, has the same name and birth month as the person who took over Chutney Jane Ltd of London SE, another restaurant business, in September 2015. So possibly the same person. I've seen no evidence of any other catering directorships in his name.
  14. > I was told by another restaurant that they owned 3 others and they all closed on the same day. Is it known whether the "they" refers to the company that owns the restaurant or to the company's owner?

  16. > "the exact same build as our proposal" What do you mean by that?
  17. Does the meeting not have its own keynote(s)? Or doesn't it matter, as long as the punters purr? Yanis Varoufakis, should keep them awake.

  19. There's a commentary on the new executive order and link to it at http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/06/516408650/trump-signs-new-order-blocking-arrivals-from-6-majority-muslim-countries

  23. Usenet uk.legal.moderated could well be helpful on general procedural matters. Details at http://uklegal.weebly.com/. It's also accessible via Google groups, if you don't use a newsreader, at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/uk.legal.moderated. There's actually a recent thread about a counterclaim there now.
  24. As reassurance, the Government notes that that people shouldn?t be too concerned because copyright holders are not known to come after people who make a backup of their computers. ?The Government is not aware of any cases of copyright holders having prosecuted individuals for format shifting music solely for their own personal use,? the IPO spokesperson says.
