The 1980s

Don't feed the troll.

Maybe Yas is just a rather sophisticated troll...

This has the potential to be as entertaining as the Save Southward Woods thread...

I think it's been about 5+ years since I logged on to EDF, but I wanted to specifically go out of my way to just mention that fact that over the last few weeks I have been initially bemused but latterly flabbergasted by the campaign from Save Southwark Woods and Lewis Schaffer. It's an absolutely reprehensible campaign and some people posting on this forum ought to be ashamed of themselves. Part of me hopes that this thread is an elaborate parody or that most of the SSW supporters are in fact sock puppets operated by Lewis, as I find it scary that there could be so many locals with such a dearth of critical faculties. 'Funeral for the trees' indeed.

No, you are not. It is a one-off event ffs.

One of the things that makes it so hard is that if you are on the war memorial side of the road and want to cross to the harvester, i seem to remember that there is a big tree that blocks your view of the cars in the lane coming down from Forest Hill and turning left to continue on the S Circular.

Lynsabelle If you are using the 176 to get to Holbon, you can get off at the top of Waterloo Bridge and walk 5mins up Kingsway. If you have a bus pass then you can get off at Waterloo and take any number of buses that go towards Euston and get off at Holborn. Or if you don't have a bus pass maybe you can have a cheeky ride on the 'free' bus that goes from Waterloo to Holborn via the underpass (#521, former bendy bus, conductors don't check your ticket). Not that I have ever done the latter of course.;-)

we're not talking display samples here - we're talking about a person trying out the pen before they buy it. if the pen works, they will buy it and if the seal is destroyed and the ageing process starts, then that's the new pen owner's problem.

do you mean quite a large bloke? often going backwards? i have seen him many times over the last year or so, usually on his own, sometimes with a lady.

I think Penguin68 was actually trying to be really helpful. The current design is actually going to end up collecting a whole load of useless data that will be time consuming and unproductive for them to wade through. So in many ways it is worse than the recent Labour councillor's survey. They should re-do the questions to provide multiple choice answers. For example, just off the top of my head: - What do you think about your commute to work? - Expensive - Cheap - Time consuming - Pleasant - Overcrowded - Boring - etc - etc - etc - Other (please state) This will make it easier for them to take anything useful from this. It also makes it easier and quicker for the respondent. Just because they are students doesn't give them an excuse for not being able to design a semi-decent survey (unless they are Year 7's or something).

I am guessing that, given the sophistication of the survey design, there is not going to be an awful lot of robust analysis going on here anyway.

good grief, all of these leaflets from the lib dems anyone would think there was an election on or something!!

i think they said that they got in through an unsecured open window.

@Liberality10 or squatters Sorry, the more I read from you guys the more turned off I become. I consider myself 'liberal' and open-minded, I am in my 20s so hopefully not an old reactionary fogey, and I really want to support you and be 'on your side'. Maybe you're just not able to articulate yourselves very well, but there seems to be nothing really compelling or credible in your defence for what you are doing. It seems to boil down to 1) we saw an empty house 2) we want to live in it 3) we aren't displaying outward signs of antisocial behaviour to our neighbours and 4) so anyone who thinks we can't live in this house can piss off. That's nowhere near enough to convince me, and clearly not enough to convince many others here.
