Another excellent article from Jim Waterson's London Centric reporting https://www.londoncentric.media/p/kitchen-foil-and-algerian-markets?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Interesting that there seem to be favoured and repeated routes for phone snatching for particular thieves. Seems ED might be one of them ☹️

Are you a very wealthy second home owner? Do you have dual nationality? It's not that easy to leave your country if you're neither of these. Where would you go?

Don't think there'll be much glee around today with what's happened in Poland and France 😕

Make sure you use a chartered surveyor. Party wall surveyors need no actual surveying qualifications to set themselves up as a PWS. You don't need RICS qualifications to be a member of Pyramus and Thisbe society. When a PW agreement is straight forward then it's not a problem to have a unqualified PWS but if you run into structural problems you need a qualified surveyor as a PWS who fully understands buildings.

Being armed is very different. I know a couple of people erroneously stopped by armed police in London and it was extremely scary for them, much more so than being stopped by unarmed police. One of them was given a leaflet afterwards to explain why armed police had the right to randomly stop and search them and their vehicle so that made everything alright! So I don't think it should just be minimised by saying they all carry guns in that area so it was ok. It was a ridiculous bit of policing which we clearly agree on.

Wasn't he making an ironic remark?..after all if you have a punchable pair of balls, you probably shouldn't be in the women's loos. I think we can agree that five armed police for such a remark on X by this man who, as far as I know, has never been considered a violent threat to anyone, was inappropriate and a worrying development about the policing of speech in this country.

And if it's not a technical loophole ie it's just wrong, do you still feel so happy giving your money away?

While it is the case that if the rules are broken one pays a fine. I have no issue with that. Unfortunately Southwark (via cameras or poorly trained traffic wardens) has incorrectly fined people in a number of different situations. Southwark then has to pay a number of staff to do a significant amount of unnecessary paperwork in responding to appeals, refunding fines, correcting signage etc and this is wasted money. It is right that Southwark staff and councillors should be held to account for wasting our money which is why it is worthy of BBC news. They could just get it right the first time.

Although yesterday a delivery guy on an electric motorised bike stopped at a red light crossing and waited for me to cross while a dickhead in lycra and helmet sped up and swung across the road to go over the crossing behind me at speed. So it's probably just dickheads and danger seekers ride dangerously and others don't. 🤔

Bob what happened to your career as an underwriter?

I have to say I have only ever received a reply from one of the Goose Green Councillors and that is James McAsh. That's not to say Cllr Smith hasn't read my email and done something about my question but he has never replied.
