"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. These entries from Southwark all got commendations in other classes: ASHDEN PRIZE Commended Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute, SE5 by Allies and Morrison for King's College London EDUCATION Commended Employment Academy, SE5 by Peter Barber Architects for Thames Reach HOMES Commended Hindmans Road, SE22 by Foster Lomas for FWD CULTURE & COMMUNITY Commended Camberwell Library, SE5 by John McAslan+Partners for LB Southwark CONSERVATION & RETROFIT Commended East Dulwich Picturehouse & Caf?, SE22 by Panter Hudspith for Picturehouse Cinemas Ltd THE TEMPORARY Commended Platform, Southwark, SE1 by Alan Pipe & Partners for U+I Group PLC http://newlondonarchitecture.org/programme/awards/new-london-awards/awards-winners-2016

>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, 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.

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.

The first plane shown in our vicinity yesterday morning was LX345 LHR->ZRH, flying east over Thornton Heath at 06:16, at 10,000 feet. There were four more in the following hour, all also eastbound at 5-9,000 feet and no more north than Penge. http://www.heathrow.com/arrivals shows first arrival BA032 from HK, at 04:49. I went back to Webtrak to check it. It came in over New Barnet and started a U-turn over Marlow to land.

I've coincidentally just found:London?s air quality often makes the headlines of the Evening Standard, but how bad is it really? Who are the main culprits, and what can we do about it? And is it really true that London?s air pollution makes your bogeys turn black? Leading air quality experts, David Green and Ben Barratt, have spent much of the last 20 years downwind of some of London?s worst emissions sources to bring you the answer to these questions and more!

Testing sounds the right thing to do. I think fuller testing at the time would have been sensible. My presumption would be that if a system -- whether kitchen electrics, computer suite, car -- seems be to working ok but then shows fault after an upgrade, there's possibly something amiss with the upgrade. Nevertheless, it could be that it's revealed a latent fault or quirk that you didn't notice before. I don't know the extent of the upgrade. I can't offer definitive knowledge. The information I'd be wanting from the tests would be answers to questions like these. What is the trip switch cut-off setting? Is it definitely operating according to specification? Is there any specific function of the cooker that triggers the trip? What's the maximum current (Amps) drawn then? Is that typical of this or any other types of cooker, or is it a fault that's developed? Is it a transient thing -- eg a 'spike' happening only at the moment a relevant cooker switch is turned on/off or is that bit of the cooker always drawing that size current? What would the likely remedies be? Would they include changing the trip switch's cut-off setting? If it's a transient thing, would a safe temporary work-around be to simply leave the switch on and reset the trip switch?

I hadn't realised there were such creatures as physician associates (this seems to be the usual UK name now) until seeing this thread. A two year postgraduate course seems to be the current entry route, following a life sciences degree or equivalent. Have you seen https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/physician-associateassistant/physician-associate? I'd also look at what individual universities have to say about their admission requirements, and maybe get in touch with some for informal advice about getting on the right road. These courses are pretty new. They're probably still working out what makes for a good candidate. Do bear in mind the benefit of keeping options open. You might. for example, discover mid-way through your undergraduate course, that you really want to pursue that subject further, along a different professional route.

You need an ethernet cable to connect the laptop to the modem. That in itself gives you potential internet access. It'll also enable you to access the modem's browser interface, where you can see/change the wi-fi password to test the wi-fi as well. You'll need the modem's admin login name and password. Their default values (maybe admin and password), and the modem's IP address (maybe 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) to enter in the browser, are easily findable in the manual, which will probably also be on the net. I'm not sure which password you already have.

"Sugging" is nevertheless findable from the mid-80s, mostly in Market Research literature, and also "frugging" (fund raising under the guise of ...) from the mid-90s. The earliest OED citation, and presumably the source of its ascribed etymology, is from the Guardian 29/6/2002: "On the way I counted all the people who accosted me..no fewer than three ?chuggers? which, I gather, is the term for charity muggers, those people with clipboards who want you to sign a standing order for their good cause." So I'm keeping an open mind. I suspect the form of the previous MR jargon words could have been at least a factor in the word-creation, with the "mugger" hint obviously capturing the street assailment bit. But until any earlier evidence turns up... OED online, btw, currently has neither "sugging" nor "frugging".
