Looks like a nice bath. Two people for a day sounds ok, especially if one is just a 'helper' so not on a full plumber rate - maybe that's something you could negotiate?

SENSE shop on Rye Lane, between HSBC and the Aylesham Centre. Classic charity shop IMO: random stuff, cheaply priced, hard working ladies sorting through donations in the back, and a comforting smell you only get in charity shops and church halls. The last thing I bought there was a copy of 'Freakonomics' for commute reading.

Hi, What a pain for him. Sounds like the restaurateur probably hopes you'll give up on it if he keeps fobbing you off. Firstly, this is a payroll issue so there was no need for invoices. I've settled a final month pay error with a previous employer with none of this trouble. Secondly, if you search the web for "template letter before action", you'll get an idea of the kind of formal letter that would seem to be the next step. Best of luck.

Thanks for bringing this ED issue to our attention. Or is it gossip? I can never tell the difference.

If it?s not properly marked, it?s not a bus lane, accotidjbg to the tiles. So Southwark doubtless know they broke the rules by trying to enforce a bus lane when the roadworks obscured critical markings. And if you know the rules, and you can see the rules mean it?s not a bus lane, no problem with using it.

The only thing I ever ask is whether they have any stock ready to bring through, for stuff that's run out on the shelf. The staff typically go to some lengths to check. The fish counter guys are actually pro-actively helpful, giving cooking tips and the like. I must have the Right help needs for good service. What help should I ask for to get the bad attitude? I'll ask for a Belgian bun or something next time, if the baked goods counter dislikes custom :-)

If the new location is clearly a particular property, I would have thought you could make a complaint and they could get a warrant to enter. If it?s a block of flats where you can?t tell the exact flat though, I guess it might come down to whether they have any intelligence to pinpoint a suspect (and get a warrant). It sounds like you?re being fobbed off. Does your home insurance provided have any suggestions?

Great, will they be back today do you know ?

If you do go to the Genius Bar, maybe you could get the genius to write up all the issues. Useful evidence if you try the letter before action / claim route. I appreciate that following through with a claim is probably time you could more profitably sorbs wirking though. Bad luck.

MPs debated this petition in Westminster Hall yesterday. The highlights start 24 minutes in to this edition of Today in Parliament: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b85m2c Sounded like a largely under-informed debate, with vague conclusions that sentencing guidelines might have already been reviewed to take emotional impact into account. General comments that there aren?t many prosecutions for pet theft in the first place. Bob Stewart MP made the interesting observation that there used to be an Act dealing explicitly with the stealing of dogs, passed in 1770, with severe penalties. It was repealed by the Theft Act 1968.

Happy Freelancer Day

I?ve recently heard that over-enthusiastic use of stimulants can bring on an urgent need to open the bomb bay. There?s also a rumour / maybe urban myth that Charlie is sometimes cut with laxatives. Perhaps the poopertrator had a chemically accelerated metabolism?

If these online petitions had an option to register an objection to the motion proposed, I would firmly object to this one. We have theft laws. We have animal cruelty laws. If someone steals a dog, handles a stolen parrot, or causes distress to a stolen gerbil, they can be prosecuted right now without need for further legislation. This petition achieves nothing but a waste of valuable legislators' time. Please stop distracting our MP's with things that have zero chance of making any positive change in the world.

Which road / part of ED are you, OP? I can hardly begin to imagine the journey. You leave for your destination, presumably imagining you?ll arrive without need for an unplanned movement en route. At some point you must realise the train is in the station. You quicken your pace, grit your teeth, gird your loins. Then just as you?re speedwalking up OP?s road, you know it?s actually happening. Nowhere left to go, you nip into the garden, hide behind the bin and pray for a Bristol Type 4. So where did this journey start? And how far could the mystery curler have been from the next safe and available porcelain throne? We need to know!

If you ignore the request to apply for retrospective approval on the chimney breast, what are they going to do? Would they seriously take court enforcement action to make you rebuild one, at a time when they are scratching around for funds to cover social care etc? Same with the chasing in of pipes. Although in that case, if you change your bathroom to add some boxing, I do wonder how their inspector would know whether he Boxing actually concealed working pipework or not.

There?s been a new development: no-one is ringing my doorbell at night. The thing is it?s actually broken. I?m wondering if I should replace it, as it feels like I?m missing out on the new trend. As for the bins, I?ve had to call the council now. Disinterest in them has become so extreme that even Veiola didn?t want to disturb them this week.

Where is all the freelancing at here then? All the good freelancers I follow on Instagram post from places like Stoke Newington.

That's a great picture.

You?re apparently talking about an adult (someone 18 years old or over) who has some issues, but those issues are not severe enough to stop them successfully booking travel and a visa waiver. So far it sounds like you?re trying to stop an adult from making an error of judgement: you can?t akways stop people from making mistakes. You seem to be saying the social worker is supportive. If you strongly feel that?s not appropriate, you could speak directly to the Adults Social Care section of the council. Of course they can?t discuss the person?s case with you, but they can listen to your concerns and you can follow up in writing to make sure they will actively consider what you?re worried about.

Lovely tributes on yesterday?s Last Word: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b2mrcc Very few of us manage to live well enough to have such wide-ranging touching and affectionate anecdotes told of our lives.

Thanks, that helped me figure out the same problem. The steps that work for me are: 1. Resize image so it will fit (I use an app called Image Size, and make it so the longest dimension is 400 pixels) 2. Upload to Imgur 3. Click on the image (not the post). Copy link. 4. Paste the link into the forum post, in between the following code excpet use square brackets instead of normal ones: (img) (/img) If i'm being inefficient, perhaps someone will post a simpler way :)

Sorry I don?t know how best to specifically address that, other than to say that the Pepipoo website has been useful in the past. I have successfully appealed 3 parking tickets, but none for anything like your friend?s circumstances. The flip side is that I have had other tickets where Pepipoo simply confirmed I?d been had bang to rights! You have to pay for a subscription so worth bearing in mind it doesn?t make legitimate tickets go away - although it does show you how to really check if a ticket is legitimate, which quite often they are not. I guess your friend is already checking whether the other party?s insurance should cover ?parking charges?, that is if they stopped, have insurance, and are at fault. My sympathies.

Free parking. It?s just a small showroom at the back of the new Sainsbury?s. They do have a selection of popular frame sizes though, and can order stock in (you could also buy online but at least in-store collection avoids delivery charges).

I have just got frames back from David Mitchell based on the recommendation here. Pleased with the result, and found them really helpful in helping me pick the right frame and mount. They told me the turnaround time would be two weeks because they're really busy. It was actually a bit quicker than that in the end. The shop was indeed really busy with customers when I went to collect in the late afternoon.
