Hi, 

Pine coffee table for sale. 1000l x 480w x 380h - £35 or nearest offer . Pick up from Herne Hill.

(The hole was for a glass vase that slots in on top of an uplight - a replacement could probably be found).

@Dogkennelhillbilly I agree. And it's only a matter of time before they try again. A 29% increase in passengers is not a good thing.

 

HI,

Another very happy customer here! Vic and his son hung a door, put up shelves, boxed in ugly pipes & added kickboards among other jobs. Extremely neat and precise work - they'll be my first call from now on. 

Hi All,

Thank you to everyone who took time to take part in the poll. The results currently are:

Of 89 responses only 81% were aware of the proposed expansion, 93% are against the expansion, and 93% will be affected by the noise (see attachment).

I've also attached the Hacan  East (not mine) opening statement to the inquiry.  A huge amount of time and work went into creating it. You can follow them for updates at https://www.hacaneast.org.uk/home or https://www.facebook.com/hacaneast .

They also have a crowdfunder to pay for legal and expert witnesses if you would like to help https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/hacan-east-635?utm_term=QKE3WjYYA

Hi,

Another recommendation for Victor who I found from the forum recommendations. Victor and his son fixed my garden gate using what he could from existing materials. Arrived on time and very reasonably priced. They will be my first call if I need anything doing in future.

Hi,

I also would recommend Sarah 100%. I hadn't driven for many years and was apprehensive about driving again especially as I had just had a not-great experience with another (non-local) instructor. She's patient, encouraging and you're never made to feel stupid. I thought it would take a lot more lessons than it did but I am now driving again. And she is a genuinely nice person.

Hi,

Would 100% recommend James. Punctual, clean van and couldn't be more helpful. Used twice yesterday.

Thank you. This is very useful. And how blissfully quiet are the skies today!

Hi,

On the London City Airport form (which is designed to confuse and only get the answers they want)there is the following option about design priorities:

"In what order would you prioritise the following design principles

.

.

4. Should improve resilience during abnormal operating conditions" - what does that mean/refer to?

Hi,

Apologies if this has been posted but I had an email from Helen Hayes about a Heathrow consultation that's happening in Lambeth today. It hasn't been very well publicised by Heathrow of course.

''I wanted to be sure that you are aware that there is a public consultation event on Heathrow Airport which will be held in Lambeth on Thursday 18th July. The consultation will be held at Wheatsheaf Community Hall, Wheatsheaf Lane, off South Lambeth Road, London SW8 2UP from 2-8pm.

I have previously written to the CEO of Heathrow Airport to raise concerns about the scope of the previous consultation, which was overwhelmingly focused on the areas close to Heathrow, and did not include any events in my constituency. I am therefore pleased that, even though this event is not in my constituency, it is being held in Lambeth. I strongly encourage you to attend the event or to submit your views into this process. ''

A few thoughts regarding this consultation:

1.On the leaflet that came through the door, there is not a single consultation event in south east London.

2. On Wentrak there is only one point in SE London (Camberwell) noise levels are taken despite it being the area where plane engines 'spool-up" (https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/12997/if-airplanes-cant-use-reverse-thrust-in-flight-what-am-i-hearing) ie make that sudden loud noise,

3. There is no account taken of the cumulative annoyance from City Airport flights particularly the new planes that have been allowed there. They may be quieter at cruising speed but when they are accelerating away from the airport they are definitely louder than the original permitted planes.

...and City Airport may increase the number of flights. With their noisier jets it could be very unpleasant. https://www.itv.com/news/2018-07-09/london-city-airport-may-seek-permission-for-more-flights/

Woken at 4.30 this morning - it's going to be a long day :-( Looking at http://webtrak5.bksv.com/lhr4 flight tracking, I wondered why there are no noise monitoring stations east of Richmond park?

...and the address on it isn't in London so don't want to put it in the post just yet.

Hi

I found a license on Milkwood Rd. First name is Ella. Let me know if it is yours,

Regards

Tony

'It is costing other tax payers money to keep people in work.'

This is true. Also true is tax payers are subsidising profit making companies who then, in a double whammy, do not pay tax on those profits. This is how public money is being diverted to private companies.

Hi Tillie, totally feel for you too! At least I have only me to look after. Thanks for sharing as it is important that people see the real stories and not the sensationalist rubbish that press and government feed us.

This is quite a long one but I think it's important to let people know what the reality is and also don't think it couldn't happen to you.

Now the Tories are in expect a sharp drop in the number of unemployed signing on. Not that there will be any more people working but they are removing people signing on by imposing arbitrary conditions.

Unfortunately I had to sign on last year which is the last thing I wanted. I'd been job hunting but discovered that being 53 my job market is limited. I'm doing all the things like networking, LinkedIn, volunteering etc.

In February, with the full knowledge (and approval)of the Job Centre I started studying to get a professional qualification to back-up my actual experience and I paid for this course myself (?1700)which I am committed to, I purposely chose the course because although I have to attend college two days a week it still left me lots of time to job hunt and also if I got a job I could easily switch to an evening course.

On Wednesday, at a job centre review, I was told that I could no longer claim JSA (and consequentially housing benefits) because they've decided that the amount of study I would need to do outside the course would be added to my time in class and that would exceed the 16 hours study permitted.

They won't give me any idea of how they decided I would need so much study nor are there any official guidelines anywhere(I've actually averaged over 90% in exams so far with minimal outside study as it is material I've experience of already.)

When I spoke to the college advisor he told me that recently he has had a surge in people coming to him with the same problem and it is a ruse to get people off the register. You can appeal but it is a laborious and frustrating task. Many people feel they will then be victimised if they sign back on (eg have to sign on everyday, be sanctioned for not achieving unrealistic targets for job apps etc) and so don't bother to claim what they are entitled to.

So 30 years of paying National Insurance is worthless.

The most illogical thing about the whole matter - if I stopped doing the course (thereby reducing my chances of getting work) I could sign on again immediately.

A few weeks ago a Petermans board appeared outside my flat (one of three in the house none of which were let by or managed by Petermans), on the fence post shared with our neighbours. I noticed then that a lot of Petersen boards had suddenly appeared around the streets always on houses that had a number of flat conversions. I spoke to my neighbours and they confirmed that none in their house were let by Petermans and the same applied to the the flats across the road. My neighbour there told me they had rung Petermans to remove it and the person on the end of the phone had been 'less than helpful' so she took it down herself. It might be that they are going around putting up boards outside houses/buildings with multiple flats hoping that the residents will assume the board is referring to another flat.

Hi, you could try here http://www.omnibus-clapham.org/. Theatre holds about 90 or they might let you use the bar/cafe area

Here is the finished version.. This area was previously overgrown and inaccessible. Saied has done a fantastic job.

...and here is the after taken at 15.30. I am amazed at the amount of work down in such a short time and it being such a pleasant experience I'd also like to recommend Fernando from www.london-rubbish.co.uk 020 8670 9442 who took away all the waste so quickly.

Hi,

Another recommendation for Saied which I have to do in two messages so I can show the before and after. Here is the early pic taken about 14.30. Saied had spent only since approx 11.00 cutting down all that ivy and overgrowth.
