Abellio London is the company that operates the P13 route. As an initial measure you could write to them about the incident, and inquire about what training and instructions are given to their drivers about such interactions and their avoidance. That might have the best chance of having direct influence at the operator/driver level. London TravelWatch also require that an operator has been given the chance to address a problem, before they will themselves deal with any complaint. See http://www.londontravelwatch.org.uk/complaints/an_introduction_complaining. If you want to involve TfL at this stage, how about cc'ing them your letter to Abellio, and asking for their own response to your inquiry about training, instructions, and practice? They are a public body, subject to the FoIA.

[The following got dropped off Burbage's last post. Unterminated quote] As usual, there's a list on Wikipedia. Don't, incidentally, overlook what you might already be paying for. Many broadband suppliers provide webspace as part of the package, and several include website-building functionality. It's not a major selling point, so it's not often much good and they don't advertise it, but it might be what you want, so check that first.

*Bob*, I'm not fully understanding what you say about buying an application, and about not wanting to rely on a hosting service. It sounds as if you are running your own server. Is that the case? If not, where is whatever you use now hosted? iCloud perhaps? Whatever, the potential non-existence of any single hosting service isn't really problematic nowadays. You simply find another one. Most provide the same old applications. You keep a backup of your own website somewhere else anyway, and simply find it a new home.

Mr Chuka Umunna (Streatham) (Lab) We have reached the end of the track in terms of my constituents? patience with one of the worst train operating companies in the world, Govia Thameslink Railway, which runs Thameslink and Southern lines that are currently masquerading as train services. In its latest attempt to reduce disruption on the Southern line, it is going to cancel up to 350 trains. That is simply unacceptable. It is causing people to lose their jobs, students to miss exams and untold stress. Will the Leader of the House arrange for the Transport Secretary to come and give an urgent statement, and for goodness sake strip this company of this franchise and do so now? Chris Grayling May I say first of all that, as someone who also shares GTR routes, I am well aware of the issue? I have every sympathy with what the hon. Gentleman has just said and I have constituents who share his anger. There is a debate on this matter in Westminster Hall next week. I have already spoken to the Rail Minister, who is acutely aware of the issue. What is happening at the moment is simply unacceptable and has to be sorted out. (Hansard, H. of Commons, 7 July 2016) There are two related Westminster Hall debates next week. Wednesday 13 July, 2.30 pm - 4.00 pm Performance of Govia Thameslink rail service - Tim Loughton Tuesday 12 July, 11.00 am - 11.30 am Compensation for rail passengers - Will Quince The agenda page of the Transport Select Committee meeting mentioned by Burbage is at http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/transport-committee/news-parliament-2015/improving-rail-passenger-experience-evidence-16-17/. The "Inquiry: Improving the rail passenger experience" link takes you to written evidence and currently available oral evidence transcriptions as well.

"The inaugural People?s Choice award, which gave members of the public the chance to vote for their favourite London buildings over the London Festival of Architecture in June, went to reForm Architects and Elliott Wood?s Rotherhithe Bridge design. Receiving an overwhelmingly number of votes, the win for the currently unfunded project demonstrates the will of the two communities it will link." It didn't get any prize or mention in the main competition. The actual winners in the Transport and Infrastructure class were: Mini Holland, Waltham Forest, E10, E11, E17 by what:if projects for LB Waltham Forest (A pedestrian/cyclist-friendly local neighbourhood street development) Crossrail Place, Canary Wharf, E14 by Foster + Partners for Canary Wharf Group (A seven-storey multi-use structure with rooftop garden, that will house the Crossrail station in 2018) A nice pedestrian/cycle bridge over the Regent's Canal in Somers Town, that has planning permission and a completion date of summer 2017, was commended.

>Here's the revised timetable details: > Highlights for ED commuters are: > 1.No more services between Beckenham Junction and London Bridge - none. That doesn't actually seem to be so. The 14:09 Beckenham Junction (BKJ) was cancelled. The 14:39 left at 14:42, which agrees with the Live Running EDW info at http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/plan-your-journey/live-running-information/EDW/departures/. So did the 14:36 to London Bridge (LBG), which would have been the 14:13 from BKJ. Can't be sure, but it looks as if might be no worse on the BKJ line than one in three trains in the shuttle cancelled, with the missing ones being 14:09 and every 90 minutes thereafter to BKJ, and 15:06 and every 90 minutes thereafter to LBG. The current Live Running page (up to 17:06) actually shows all scheduled trains running, though I'm not sure how efficient they are at displaying cancellations beyond the next scheduled arrival.

I think I've heard it said that a levelling down of the pound was due sometime anyway. Could it be that Brexit was at least in part stimulus rather than outright cause?

Private Eye has been exposing this for some time. Their database of England & Wales property acquistions by offshore companies 1999-2014 shows 975 in Southwark. http://www.private-eye.co.uk/registry

What do you mean by "slime bags" and who are the local ones? Why do you call Porter one?

I'm beginning, for the first time, to get the flavour of what it must be or have been like to be treated on the basis of presumed membership of a presumed group with presumed common characteristics.

Renata Hamvas Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > There are 2 million young people in this age group, so it could have impacted on the result. Renata, whereabouts does your figure come from? The ONS mid-year estimate for 2015 (section 5 of http://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/bulletins/annualmidyearpopulationestimates/mid2015) has 1.5M 15 and 16 year olds, not all of whom would have been eligible anyway. Whichever figure, I think it's extremely improbable that their additional nett votes would have bridged the 1.27M gap. OTOH, the inclusion of the group might have been a nudge to the considerations of some other voters.

The Charles Booth Archive at the LSE is well worth a look for neighbourhood flavour. http://booth.lse.ac.uk/

If it had been published the previous weekend and had the chance to circulate, who knows, we might have been in a different situation now. According to one large survey, 18% of voters only reached their final decision in the last few days of the election. http://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/06/how-the-united-kingdom-voted-and-why/

They were acting in accordance with law and guidance as set out at http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/electoral-administrator/eu-referendum. She was given a "tendered" ballot paper, that would have been kept separate from those put in the ballot box. If the outcome led to a recount, or there was evidence of pervasive fraud, it would in principle be possible to search through all the ballot papers for any correponding false one(s), and act accordingly. I suspect a worry for your neighbour could be that there's someone with sufficient knowledge of her and her activity to take the risk of impersonation. If that seems unlikely, that makes a clerical error a more likely cause. If anyone's concerned about the scale of possible fraud or other error, an information request of the electoral registration officer, about the number of tendered votes provided for that reason, seems to me the way to go.

The Croydon Advertiser web server seems to be playing up, so here attached is the content of their page datelined 15/6 that I did manage to download.

Your emoticon puts it mildly. His disappearance was reported here on 8 June 2012. The report of his body having been found in Peckham Rye Park appeared on 20 June: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,899219 p.5. I remember searching in Nunhead Cemetery for him on a couple of afternoons. The thought of his not being found in the park had not even occurred to me. Is any help needed now in doing effective, systematic searches of similar places where Robert Gibson might have gone, that haven't yet been done? Is anyone other than the police overseeing or planning a search strategy? These broadcast appeals are obviously useful, but in themselves have only a limited effectiveness. Does the ES report of "Dulwich Park" possibly mean or include Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Woods, and how well have they been searched for Robert so far? What are his other favoured walking places? PS I've now seen (main pinned thread) the Croydon Advertiser report of an East Croydon sighting on Monday at 1520.
