I expect many of us have 3.5" drives that we could use to copy the files to a CD or whatever, but if Foxy has a USB drive that he can lend you to use on your own machine, that sounds the best offer.

I'll mosey on down there tomorrow to have a look. I hope whatever is being done is handled more efficiently than seemed the case in 2010, when they installed planning notices and road markings for a cycle contraflow in Bellenden Road, only to eventually remove them all. See the second page of the forum thread about it here: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,549542,564166#msg-564166

The prescribed forms to apply for grant or variation of a licence (latest versions are here) have separate places in the operating schedule for the exact times of all relevant activities intended (singing, dancing, alcohol, late-night-refreshment, etc) and for the full opening hours. So, the applicant would have had to enter them all precisely, and I don't see any reason to doubt the 24 hour opening. That said, the opening hours, other than those used for the licensable activities, are a matter not of Licensing but of Planning. On that question I've only this Q&A to offer by way of information, from http://www.lgs.uk.com/lgsuk/qa.html. Q. As a business do I need Planning Permission to extend my hours of operation? A. Yes if there is a condition on your original permission which restricts operating hours. If you search on the Southwark planning register for the Co-op's postcode, SE22 8HJ, there are various minor applications dating from 1996. Not surprisingly, that's far too recent to have any details of any "original permission", assuming any was ever needed. I suppose it's possible there might have been some once granted, or that there might be a statement of law somewhere as to either deemed original permissions or procedure to be followed if there is none, or that the council has relevant usable powers concerned with public amenity; but I really have no idea. If anyone really is interested in pursuing the 24 hour opening question, I suggest it's initially something to ask the Planning Department about, possibly channelling your requests for information through a councillor. Alternatively, look for information from those who know about planning law. It's above my (zero p/hr) pay grade.

To possibly add to the confusion, here's my first take: The TfL weekend engineering text report (select the Overgound link) at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/track.aspx?offset=weekend says just Sunday closure afaics. Checking Sunday timetables, on both TfL and National Rail sites definitely shows replacement buses needed , from East Dulwich, so presumably no Sunday service on our line either. The icon shown for Overground on the TfL timetables (a brownish LT sign) may be confusing. It doesn't signify a bus. Their icon for that is bus-like. On a good day with lightish traffic, I've got from East Dulwich Grove to Clapham Junction or back in half an hour or less. It's easily stretched to three quarters of an hour, maybe sometimes more, if dense traffic.

Goose Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > So from this website (below) for application lodged on 27th Feb, open 24 hours but alcohol 0600-2300 (except Sunday). > > Has my support but what defines 'late night refreshment' "Late night refreshment" is defined, in Schedule 2 of the Licensing Act 2003, as "hot food or hot drink" provided between 23:00 and 05:00. For that a licence is required. The schedule even states that hot drinks containing alcohol do not fall within its specific provisions. They'd presumably fall within a standard alcoholic drinks licence. I've so far found no law specifying that any shop in Southwark requires permission or licence to be open 24 hours on any day other than Sunday. I don't know that the the statement within the licence application that it's intended to open for 24 hours a day imports anything beyond a wish to be clearly accurate and truthful. If anyone knows anything more about 24 hour opening where there's no provision of either alcohol or late night refreshment, please do contribute.

After noticing a rain drip inside a Soutern train carriage on 22 December, I sent a detailed email once I'd got home, to Southern Railways Customer Services . I got an email back on 22 January to say that it had been logged. "If you wish to contact us further regarding your query, please contact our Customer Service team directly at [email protected], by phone on 08451 27 29 20, or in writing to: Southern Customer Services PO Box 3021 Bristol BS2 2BS" If there's a possibility of a hazard, I'd suggest a phone call, email, and tell the station staff as well, to ensure that they are definitely aware and on notice. Keep a record. It's also advisable to get on the record anyway, just in case your own slip has any subsequent consequences.

If you use a Virgin National or Cable news server (ie probably news.virginmedia.com) for posting to Usenet, are you having any problems doing so at present? Or not? I've not been able to make any postings since Monday. At least one other person on the Virginmedia help forum is having a similar problem, so it's not just me. I've notified both Virgin and Highwinds (who I believe handle the Usenet routing) of the fault. Highwinds have expressed an interest and have asked me for diagnostics. It would be very useful to have information from other users as well, confirmatory or not.

The real question is just night-time opening. The alcohol issue is a red herring: as Sue's pointed out, permission from 6am rather than 7am, and still only to 11pm at latest. The applied-for late night refreshment licence to 05:00 would include, aiui, just hot food and drinks. Could someone please clarify: if it were not for the late-night refreshment licence application, would any permission be needed for the 24/7 opening?

Control-Alt-e is your friend: ?

The details on the online register of licensing applications are at: http://app.southwark.gov.uk/licensing/LicPremisesAppliedDetails.asp?systemkey=840448 And some current ones already granted: Sainsbury's Local 357-365 LL http://app.southwark.gov.uk/licensing/LicPremisesGrantedDetails.asp?systemkey=839635 Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill http://app.southwark.gov.uk/licensing/LicPremisesGrantedDetails.asp?systemkey=831488 The latter includes a 24 hour licence for off-licence sales.

I hadn't realised his role in The Wire. That's impressive.

It sounds like a provider's systems problem rather than anything to do with the phone, given that you say you have been able to access the internet on it. If you and Vodaphone records agree that you have made a top-up, been given a freebie code, used it, and were given a month's free internet access as a result, the only thing I can think of is that you might have met a lag between the winning and the usability: their FAQ does mention that you may have to wait up to 24 hours for free texts and minutes to become available. If you're short of any definitive record or information as to what transactions have taken place, you could test, with a LOST text, that you have no freebie code still unused. Or you could simply try using the internet again, and see if there's the same or similar charge (I only saw a ?1 a day one on their website) still applied. If you have all the records and are still being charged, you've all you need for a written complaint. If you can't get all the information, ditto.

Peace

You've presumably got to the bottom left hand node of the tree at https://rewardz.vodafone.co.uk/#howitworks and selected an Instant Reward. At that point it seems to be a bloody lottery, with you being offered a choice from a randomly selected four from a pool at least twenty five options, two of which are "2 days free internet" and "Free data for 30 days". What did you manage to choose, did you have to restart the process several times (if it allowed it) until what you wanted turned up in the four choices offered, what feedback did the system give you, and is your phone number definitely linked to the shenanigans on the web page?

Here's a bird's eye view, showing it in its surroundings: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-203350-folly-tower-in-back-garden-of-number-23-/bingmap. I've not found a photo of it on Geograph. It seems fairly well hidden from public view.

Any feedback that might be helpful for future cases?

Where are they now? Does anyone remember them? -------------- The Gnomes of Dulwich, 1969 Last Updated by Jonn Elledge 9 hours ago The single best thing we discovered while researching this article. The Gnomes of Dulwich was ? quite, quite brilliantly ? about some garden gnomes living in Dulwich. One of them was played by Terry Scott, of Terry and June fame, while the show was written by Jimmy Perry, who also helped create Dad?s Army. Sadly, tapes of The Gnomes of Dulwich were wiped, and no copies are known to exist. Which is a shame, as that concept sounds amazing.
