If you’ve tried their complaints process, I would just initiate a chargeback via your bank/credit card provider.

Carrot Cars do, they charge £10 a journey. Since covid they seem to be consistently the cheapest airport transfer option. We have a compact Mifold Original booster that we take with us so we have a car seat for the other end too. For £40 it’s well worth it.

There are numerous signs saying to keep dogs on a least from April-September and not a single dog owner pays the slightest attention to them. I can’t imagine a “Don’t take the holly” sign would be any more observed.

There were airphones on planes for decades - very rarely used as they were prohibitively expensive. There is now Wi-Fi on most long haul flights that would allow voice or video calls to be made (although most airlines ask you not to do it) but I’ve never noticed anyone doing so. While the EU rules might be changed to technically allow this to happen, I expect that a combination of cost and social pressure will ensure it’s a rare occurrence.

Our son is at The Belham and we think it’s a really good school. The range of extracurricular activities is excellent, although I don’t know how it compares to the other schools you’ve listed. There is a real community around the school and the staff are by and large great. I’d echo what others have said about proximity being important. We like that all of our sons friends are within a 10 minute walk and he can get to 3 of them without crossing a road. Being able to go from home, to drop off and back home to start work (or get to the train station) within 15 minutes is also a big plus. I believe that even the popular schools are under subscribed as the baby boom ended and post COVID and Brexit reductions in young families in London, but it is worth checking with the schools.

It’s a solution in search of a problem. There is ample parking (at least in the South of the zone) outside of the operating hours. This just seems like a money making scheme for the council.

I think it depends where you want to take your career. Doing a Scrum Master qualification will take you down that route (and allied PM disciplines) where a Product Owner qualification is more likely to take you in a Product Management direction. As for businesses recognising Scrum Master more it is probably down to them practicing a Wagile model where they’ve rebadged the PM as a scrum master and don’t have recognisable product ownership or backlog grooming/prioritisation. Some red flags to avoid! Qualification wise, in addition to the standard Scrum certifications; Leading SAFe is a good one to look at, as is the PMI Agile PM. I’d also push for your work to fund it.

We’ve had our collections staggered over two days for most of the summer, seems pretty random which bin gets taken first. Some weeks the collection schedule is updated to show the delayed collection but not always.

Thanks for taking on the forum. The upgrade looks great. One glitch, the FAQ is giving me a 404 error (safari on iOS).

There?s also the time and risk associated with properly accounting for the cash each day, checking your staff take the right amount, give the right change, don?t accept fake notes. Cash is not obviously cheaper than card, otherwise businesses wouldn?t be stopping accepting it.

There was something from Southwark Council a while ago about Solar Together (https://solartogether.co.uk/southwark/home). One of my colleagues used this scheme in North London and says it worked out really well for him.

Carrot cars have been ?70-?80 this year.

I think unless you?re driving a lot, installing a home charger is unlikely to pay for itself. We pay ?40 a month on the char.gy chargers which covers our usage - even if home charging dropped that to ?20 it?s still a long payback for installing a ?500-?800 charger.

We have a EV (Polestar 2). We need to charge it every couple of weeks and use either the char.gy lamppost chargers or occasionally the fast chargers at the Tessa Jowell Health Centre. Chargy bills you monthly either on actual usage (33p/kW) or on a ?40/month subscription which drops the cost to 19.5p/kW. The Tessa Jowell chargers take credit cards or various apps. Overall the char.gy lamppost chargers work well for us. Zap Map will show where they are and if they?re in use, generally I drive the car round the corner on a Saturday morning or evening and leave it charging for the day or night. It?s not super quick, but if you?re not using your car multiple times a day every day it?s easily manageable. Occasionally the char.gy chargers all all blocked by parked vehicles and I?ll head to Tessa Jowell instead, that takes around 1 to 1.5 hrs depending on how low the battery is. Again I drop it off, have lunch, then wander back to pick it up - it?s probably 30 mins out of my weekend which works for me. Southwark have said they?re rolling out more chargers this year and we?re hopeful for getting one where we usually park. Worth speaking to your councillors to lobby for more chargers near you.

It?s the same in Sydenham Hill Woods, clearly stated at all entrances that dogs must be on a short lead March - September (bird nesting season) but universally ignored. I?ve stopped asking dog owners to follow the rules as they just ignore you or claim their dog is somehow fine to be off lead. Of course since there is no enforcement anywhere it?s all a moot point.

I went for a run today and everything other than the bridge itself it open. To try to answer your question about where the diversion comes out: Coming down the steps from Sydenham hill there is a gate into the woods at the South-Eastern end of the footbridge. The main path runs parallel to Sydenham Woods and exits above the railway tunnel on Crescent Wood Road. There are two paths down to the North-West (Dulwich) side of the woods. A steep path drops down the side of the footbridge to join the path along the old rail bed, it?s then probably 100m to turn right and right again to get back to the other side of the footbridge. If you?re less mobile then there is a gentler path that branches off at the folly and gets you back to the main path through to Dulwich woods.

Last time I ran that way you could still enter Cox?s Walk at the top on Sydenham Hill and there was a diversion path before the footbridge that took you along and down to cross the old railway line and head back to the other side of the footbridge. I don?t believe that?s closed off unless it?s a recent change.

We closed our account at that point.

If they?re storing materials or rubbish on the road, email Southwark highways department and they?ll get it sorted.

I know this is well meaning, but give money not stuff. It allows charities to buy what they actually need locally with none of the logistic overhead of sorting a load of often unsuitable cast-offs.

I?ve completed the consultation asking a similar question about permits. I?m particularly concerned about who is eligible for permits as I live a few houses up from the start of the restriction but regularly have to park in the restricted area due to a lack of spaces outside my house. The wording isn?t clear about if I?d be eligible or not. Also the only electric car charger in the surrounding streets is in the restriction.

We just received one for St John?s and St Clement?s which would close parts of Adys, Ondine and Amott. Given how terrible traffic is in the morning with aggressive drivers smacking their horns I?m in favour. Having a camera filter is better than a hard barrier like they have for Bellenden Primary.

The first thing I?d try is to get a really long Ethernet cable and see if the issue continues to occur on a wired connection. If so it?s a fault with Virgin (good luck with that?), if not then it?s a Wi-Fi issue which might be fixable with a mesh setup. Again if you?re going for mesh I?d really recommend hard wiring the access points.

I?ve worked in technology for 20 years and never heard a VPN called a VPL. What are you trying to use a VPN for? Generally I?d be wary of a lot of the cheaper ones.
