  1. You could check the modem log. Does it show any losses of connection to the exchange or ISP? If you are using a wireless connection between router and computer, has your computer reported any changes in its connectivity or quality?
  2. People have mentioned the old Camberwell station. The following is from the 22 February written responses to Mayor's Questions (Appendix 8 at https://www.london.gov.uk/moderngov/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=0&MId=5678&Ver=4). It's also reported in http://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/forget-the-tube-camberwell-could-benefit-from-re-opening-of-mainline-ghost-station/. Camberwell transport infrastructure Question No: 2016/0492 Valerie Shawcross Further to the decision to extend the Bakerloo line through the Old Kent Road area, please give an update on how TfL plans to improve transport facilities in the Camberwell area, which is also in need of much improved transport facilities. Specifically, what plans are there to pursue the option of reopening a rail station on the site of the former Camberwell station? Written response from the Mayor While Camberwell was not the preferred destination for the Bakerloo Line Extension (BLE), the BLE route option assessment concluded that it did suffer from poor rail connectivity which could be improved by reopening the disused station on the Thameslink line. TfL is investigating proposals to reopen the disused station with stakeholders, including the London Borough of Southwark. Initial feasibility indicates it would be possible to construct a modern station at this location if timetable changes could be made to accommodate an extra stop. TfL will be working with Network Rail and the London Boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth over the next few months to further develop the feasibility of this proposal.
  3. Fifteen points to each of you.

The banks do have a code for dealing with this kind of thing, and it seems to have become a bit more favourable recently. See for example http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/send-money-wrong-account. You could also find her bank branch from the sort code, using http://www.fasterpayments.org.uk/consumers/sort-code-checker, if for any reason you wanted to write to her c/o her bank.
  5. There is a previous short thread at http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,1621174.
  6. What is the source of "Oak Tree Farm"?

He has four active companies at Oak Tree Farm licensed for waste operations. I've removed the link to my search result as it was session-limited. Apologies. But if you want to search yourself, enter the Waste Operations category and postcode TN14 7AB in http://epr.environment-agency.gov.uk/ePRInternet/SearchRegisters.aspx.
  8. I'm not going to get involved in this thread, beyond this. Both extracts from the Rough Guide to New York City, 8th edition, 2002.
  9. Londow Wildlife Trust have recently announced receipt of a Lottery grant for their Great North Wood project. There are some very general details of it at http://www.wildlondon.org.uk/news/2016/02/16/discover-great-north-wood-%E2%80%93-south-london%E2%80%99s-forgotten-landscape, from which: "The initial nine month development stage of the Great North Wood project will see London Wildlife Trust working with volunteers, community groups and local councils to raise awareness of the woodlands, find out people?s views about how to improve the woodlands for both wildlife and people and to enhance the ecological value of the surviving parts of the Great North Wood and places in between. "If the first stage is successful, the Trust will seek further funding of around ?700,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to secure significant improvements to the Wood, with the aim of providing substantial benefits to London?s woodland environment and the people that live near to it." Also mentioned, a tree-planting event tomorrow in Brockwell Park: "Sam will be joined by Brockwell Park Community Partners and the Friends of Brockwell Park and invites anyone who is interested to join him on Friday 19th February 2016, close to the Cressingham Gardens entrance to the park. "Sam will be running two tree planting sessions, one from 11.00am to 12.00am and one from 1.00pm to 2.00pm. No experience is necessary and all tools will be provided." They also have a web page on the Great North Wood at http://www.wildlondon.org.uk/great-north-wood.
  10. RM is still subject to some statutory oversight and regulation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Services_Act_2011

I've not found it yet. Is it still there? It took some time even to find those parts that dealt with engagement with "our community". The sign to follow seems to be CSR (Corporate Social responsibility). I then find a consultative committee http://www.lcacc.org/ that doesn't include Southwark or Lambeth residents or council among its members, and an Airport Transport Forum http://lcacc.org/atf/index.html which seems not to have met since 2013. I'm posting, btw, simply because of interest in the social engagement and consultation matter. I don't have an issue with the noise of their arrivals.
  12. I've just noticed this from the London Wildlife Trust at http://www.wildlondon.org.uk/events/2015/11/13/londons-urban-wildlife-free-talk-peckham. London's urban wildlife - free talk in Peckham (Library) Fri, 05/02/2016 - 11:00am - 12:30pm
  13. How were entries and exits measured for each of these years?
  14. http://www.trustedit.co.uk/blog/telephone-scam/ Runners of Linux, etc systems have sometimes reported stringing the scammers along for ages before telling them that they are not actually using Windows.
  15. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) do perform and commission personal household surveys: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/about-ons/get-involved/taking-part-in-a-survey/information-for-households/about-ons-households-and-individuals-surveys/index.html. I'd just be wary of people hijacking the 'National Statistics' term for some commercial survey or other purpose.

  17. I was going also to second hazelnunhead's suggestion of trying a missed out repeat digit. But how about simple brute force, trying every missing digit in each acceptable position, using a bulk messaging sevice or software? No more than 90 candidates. I've generated a list of them that I can send you in any format if you pm me.
  18. You can see the full allocations at http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/numbering/. My first bet, assuming that many people remember their numbers in the allocated 5+6 form, would be that the initial 0788 is correct, and that it might be the last digit of the initial five, or the first of the final six. That gives you twenty to try. ie 0788? 314843 or 07883 ?14843

  20. A previous case, with some advice: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1094009,page=1 MOPAC is Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime
  21. It's Daneville Road the entrances are on. I had a look today. Despite the large signs saying Butterfly Walk Customers Car Park, all the contractual notices simply call it a 24/7 pay-and-display car park, ?1.50 for the first hour, whoever you are. Is there much enforcement of that? I didn't see any obvious cameras at the east entrance.
  22. Otherwise it sounds as if it might have been a Lebanese loop, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_loop. Possible actions? Examine the card slot for the device? Call your bank immediately to cancel card? Hang around, openly or covertly, in the expectation that a perp will be along shortly to collect the card? Call the police immediately to advise them a possible Lebanon loop exploit is in mid-course?

  24. There's an ECJ preliminary ruling in a recent case that possibly impacts on the DPA exemption. The following is from the ICO's "code of practice for surveillance cameras" of 21/5/2015, https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/1542/cctv-code-of-practice.pdf (357kB). "The use of surveillance systems for limited household purposes can be exempt from the DPA. "The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued its judgment in the case of Ryne? on 11 December 2014. In this judgment, the CJEU concluded that where a fixed surveillance camera faces outwards from an individual?s private domestic property and it captures images of individuals beyond the boundaries of their property, particularly where it monitors a public space, the recording cannot be considered as being for a purely personal or household purpose. "This means that cameras attached to a private individual?s home may, in certain circumstances, no longer be exempt from the requirements of the DPA under section 36. Those circumstances are likely to include where the camera monitors any area beyond the interior and exterior limits of that individual?s home. This would include any camera to the extent that it covered, even partially, a public space such as the pavement or street. It would also cover cameras which captured areas such as neighbours? gardens. "This decision does not mean that using such a camera is not possible but it does mean that individuals will have to ensure that its use is legitimate under the DPA. The CJEU made clear that use of cameras to protect a property in this way can meet the legitimate interest condition in the legislation. The ICO has produced a short complementary piece of guidance for the public on how to ensure the use of a surveillance camera on a private domestic property complies with the DPA." What looks like the new guidance seems to be at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/cctv/. Ryne?'s case arose as a result of his being fined for a DP breach after having taken his surveillance recording to the police to enable a prosecution http://www.theguardian.com/law/2014/dec/11/home-surveillance-cctv-images-may-breach-data-protection-rules-european-court-judgment-says. But what might happen here, if a DP breach was alleged in similar circumstances, I don't know.
  25. I see that the only CCs whose minutes are publicly available online are the two whose next meeting is next week. Is there any reason why they all take so long to appear?
