I checked with ED PH, who replied: "I'm afraid we don't really do screenings on demand as such. We sometimes do one-off screenings of certain film, but it's not the easiest thing to get. However we do have a partnership with ourscreen , a platform that allows anyone to programme a screening, and if enough tickets are sold, then the screening goes ahead. You can find more details about how it works here . I have had a look for *Public House* and they don't seem to have it in their catalogue yet, but they are very receptive to suggestions and if you drop them a line they might be able to source it for you." I thought it would be best to check first with the film makers whether there would be any availability (?format) problems. The automated response says they only check their email sporadically now, so there may be a wait. I'll be back when I hear from them.

  7. Who do you work for? What do you do for them? Where do you work?
  8. It's certainly not the case that only roads in CPZs can be considered as being under parking stress. The introduction to the parking stress survey at http://www.2.southwark.gov.uk/downloads/download/4183/parking_stress_survey_data explains that a parking stress (ie occupancy rate) figure of more than 85% was conventionally used as a criterion for determining whether a creating a CPZ might be merited. And Southwark's Residential Parking Survey Methodology distinguishes CPZs and unrestricted areas in its examples of calculations of parking stress.
  9. Did the Facebook poster report it to the local police, for intelligence purposes?

    Are there any land line phone services that don't yet receive text messages (delivered by an automated voice if you don't have a text-enabled phone)?

Was it just one person or two on the bike? How early did you spot them, and was there any chance of maybe grabbing one? They do get caught sometimes. There's a report in the latest Southwark News:a thief and his receiver jailed for 3-4 years for multiple offences. http://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/mobile-phone-thieves-banged/
  12. I doubt they have any statutory wayleave. See for example https://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/home/contactus/wayleaves/wayleaves.do and (you're not the only one) some similar cases via http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/garden-dug-up-and-cable-installed-on-my-property-without-permission. It'll get resolved. Even if you had been the customer their action doesn't sound reasonable.
  13. I had some kids throw stones at me when I was cycling past Bullace Row (just north of Camberwell Green) on my way home. But that was over twenty years ago, and the only hooliganism I remember directed at me locally while cycling. I think I stopped off at Camberwell nick to let them know but found it closed, so just left it at that. My main concern was that it's the sort of thing that could just lead to serious harm, and the sooner they gave it up the better. As it was, I never saw them again anyway.

  16. Who owns the garden? Who has legal use of it? Does your neighbour, their customer, live in the same house? Has anyone given Virgin permission to lay the cable where it is?
  17. I've had the same trouble with a couple of devices, before learning the lesson of recording the menu schema. I suspect that you'll need to find a different submenu. In theory you could traverse the menu tree and do it blind by trial and error. A few signposts in the shape of Chinese characters to be looking for would provide additional help. I've checked some of my Chinese menus against the Google Translate Chinese versions. What I got for "Chinese" and "English" (ensure upper case first letter) seemed to match my menu items. Check just the right hand two symbols if there are any others: they're probably just qualifying the type of Chinese. My Chinese ereader actually kindly displays some language names in English or the other language's own character set, even when the device is configured to show the menus in Chinese. Probably just as well, given that it seems to dynamically rejig menus from time to time. I also still have to discover whether or not my voice recorder actually contains, as advertised, an FM radio function. There's an RFSetting menu but entering it turns the menus back into Chinese. Damned cunning. The first two attached menu items are from the ereader. The third, from the recorder, says Language Set Chinese Traditional English

  20. > but bear in mind you have to pay fees (I think it was about ?110) The fees do vary with amount claimed: https://www.gov.uk/make-court-claim-for-money/court-fees. Do you perhaps not have an agreed variation of contract? What you describe suggests that you have agreed to forgo the future sessions, and the nursery has agreed to forgo the fee, and confirmed so in writing. Eg: http://www.out-law.com/en/topics/projects--construction/construction-contracts/variations-to-contracts-and-changes-in-the-law/ http://consumerhub.eversheds.com/specialism/how-effective-are-variation-clauses-in-your-contracts/
  21. >This is sobering. Attachments: Enemies.jpg (40.4KB) I don't know where you got it from, but the English caption is incorrect. Here's a clearer and fuller version of the original: http://www.hans-dieter-arntz.de/bilder/volksverraeter.png The headline actually says: "Betrayers of the People Expelled From The German Community." The text declares that the following persons, located abroad (they had already fled the country), have been deprived of German citizenship, having acted in breach of their duty of loyalty to the reich and the people. Of those in the first row that I can find mention of (all politicians), Scheidemann, Wels and Breitscheid were leading members of the SDP, Pieck a communist. None a lawyer. Scheidemann https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philipp_Scheidemann Wels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Wels Pieck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Pieck Breitscheid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Breitscheid
  22. Shaggy> One interesting point, though, is that if it does turn out that Article 50 is Shaggy> reveresable, then the courts will quash Thursday's ruling. Or if in doubt, refer it to the CJEU, as has at least been mooted by some, even before the referendum; see eg http://www.howtocrackanut.com/blog/2016/11/3/why-an-appeal-of-the-high-court-parliamentary-brexit and https://eutopialaw.com/2016/07/08/what-next-an-analysis-of-the-eu-law-questions-surrounding-article-50-teu-part-one/. I suspect rather an outside chance, but it does promise possible further dark comedic potential, for them as can take any more, that is.

    Yes, the Subject line, as well as the content, is editable when you select the edit window. I assume you're wanting to change what appears in the list of threads. To do that, you just need to edit the opening post in the thread.

If it is done deliberately or recklessly I think it could even be an offence under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. It would be relevant to see if it's occurring in more than one branch. In any case it's contrary to official guidance on proper practice. "2.1 Indicating two different prices 2.1.1 The CPRs prohibit traders from giving misleading information about prices, which could include indicating a price for goods or services which is lower than the one that actually applies, where this would cause, or be likely to cause, the consumer to take an different transactional decision. In many cases, a different transactional decision is likely to mean whether or not to buy a product, but it could include other decisions taken about transactions. 2.1.2 You should not therefore show one price in an advertisement, website, window display, shelf marking or on the item itself, and then charge a higher price at the point of sale or checkout." https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/31900/10-1312-pricing-practices-guidance-for-traders.pdf See also http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/regulation/consumer-protection-from-unfair-trading-regulations-2008 re additions to the regulations. In practice I'd expect any reputable chain to honour the shelf price unless it's a crazy one, and maybe throw in an ex gratia something if you take it up with head office. Failing that, or if it seems serious or persistent, you can always just pass on the information to local Trading Standards, http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200098/trading_standards/1462/1_information_for_consumers.
