Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but cul-de-sacs off the wrong side of the south circular may become expensive car parks. Residents of Allison Grove and Ryecotes Mead are potentially looking forward to driving 20 yards out of their road, spending a whole day driving outside the ULEZ and then returning home to find that those last few yards have cost them ?12.50.

"Petrol cars that meet the ULEZ standards are generally those registered with the DVLA after 2005, although cars that meet the standards have been available since 2001. Diesel cars that meet the standards are generally those registered with the DVLA after September 2015." I don't think many cars will be excluded - ?500-?1000 will get you a post 2005 car on eBay.

Just to be clear, ALL vehicles need to be taxed, even if there is nothing to pay. The GOV.UK website states "You must tax your vehicle even if you don?t have to pay anything, for example if you?re exempt because you?re disabled."

I can't see the problem... Both the Streetview and satellite view show "give way" markings at the end of Court Lane.

Southwark Council's road list doesn't have a designation for the road (Public Highway, Private Road etc.) but it does state that it is "Maintained by LBS Env & Leisure Services Dept."

I don't think you've upset anyone, and I don't think anyone is trivialising your experience. But I suspect that a lot of people, like me, try to picture the situation being described in posts like yours. And driving "east along Lordship lane ... from Felbrigg road to Overhill road" is something difficult to get your head around, especially since Felbrigg doesn't come to a junction with Lordship Lane. I guess you mean that you started at Felbrigg and finished at Overhill and went via (say) Hansler and then Lordship Lane.

P.S. I'm not a crossing junkie - I remember this because it was a round on "Pointless" many moons ago...

For the sake of accuracy... A Puffin crossing is a Pedestrian User Friendly (F) INtelligent crossing - if you press the button but then cross before the lights change then a detector should spot that there's nobody waiting and won't hold up road traffic unnecessarily. The crossing for pedestrians and cyclists is called a "Toucan" crossing (because two (bikes and pedestrians) can cross).

Sorry, but it's bugging me... Is "All Fired Up" pottery still there...

I suspect that Veolia don't have the resources or inclination to recycle working goods as such. Anything put through their (and to be fair, ANY) recycling centre will be broken up for reusable metals/plastics. As as been mentioned here before I believe, the British Heart Foundation will accept working electrical goods (and will collect them).
