(Meaning the cracker puts a mask on it and changes its real values so network providers can't detect any fault) You can't really secure something... when there is a will there is a way. In engineering/cs world, whatever can be created, can be reversed the exact same way it was created. Mobile phones industry is a massive one, stolen phones etc is massive as well, so you have a ton of crackers focusing on breaking the software of the actual phone and not only software used for your Operating System but software used by Hardware as well. Also those crackers will always catch up with newer methods no matter what. KrackersMaracas yes it still holds a value for the thief. Even if police shuts down all those 2nd hand stores you see around peckham etc, they'll still hold their value in other countries, so yes blacklisting your phone doesn't make it useless.

A mobile phone doesn't become valueless if it gets blacklisted. You can easily bypass the lock. Not being able to talk on your phone while walking because the police can't do anything is a joke of an answer. Its called MOBILE PHONE. The police clearly doesn't wanna spend anytime on chasing them due to budget reasons... or else they could easily catch them. Also about me emailing the mayor, have you emailed him? I don't think he cares about what I have to say, you're closer to him since your eating from the same table.

This Sunday at about 14:30 two Caucasian idiots on a scouter that was coming from the opposite side of Grove vale, made a U turn just where I was standing on the pavement having a phone call with my back to the road. I turned and saw them doing that Uturn, understood that they were most likely trying to grab my phone, looked at the guy on the back and he looked at me, signaled the driver and they just speed up and left. They had NO PLATES on the scouter. As of now that indicates to me that they tried snapping it while I was talking, but obviously when I turned around they got scared and left. I am a muscular lad 6.4f height. If they tried that at me, means nothing will stop them from trying it with force to more vulnerable targets. Of course the lovely police plays a huge role in the whole thing, as they are just letting them cruise through with no plates, and noone cares about pity thefts... What the police is actually going to do about your iphone if it gets stolen? Have a peon taking a statement of you, putting it down davy jones locker. So be careful and try to avoid talking on the street. If you like talking on the street like your somehow in a Civilized Country and not in South Africa, then I dont know start complaining to those ugly politicians of ED that are doing nothing about the issue?

The new Sadik Khant has changed the timetables... he sort of doesn't like South East. 185 is slower now, and 176 as well...

Or be modest. It actually doesn't mr Greenpeace of ED!

Some might disagree and some might find it a bit aggressive, but if I was that bad at my job like MP's for ED and Councilors for ED I'd be sucked by now. Fortunatelly I am very good at my job. Thing is YOU (Councilors, MPs and whoever is responsible for the complete mess in ED transport) are bad at your job. When I see councilors in this forum asking if anyone needs a bike pole or whatever to lock his bike I CRINGE! I CRINGE HARD! Do you really think thats number 1 issue here? Can't you just write higher up and ask tfl, gov and whoever else is responsible for the transport in ED why it sucks? I guess not because you work locally and you dont have to actually commute to your work, so who cares. Also Councillor Renata Hamvas, you only emailed SouthEastern after someone from the public posted about petitions and plans on cutting down the service? Isn't your job to KNOW whats going ON? What are you doing all day? Chatting with others about where you'll go for summer holidays?! Appalling, you should be ashamed of yourself.

rednharris why dont you put your money where your mouth is? Go sell your house and split profits with the picturehouse workers lol.. Its so funny how this forum is filled with people that are ready to protest because their yoga bootcamp won't run on Saturday. Picturehouse is paying up salaries, staff is asking for way above service level salaries because... they think they deserve it. Thats not how the world works. And 0 hour contracts are legal, change jobs or keep doing it your choice.

I think you should blame and protest against the Gov. The Picturehouse seems to be doing whatever is within its legal rights as a company. 0 Hour contracts are awful, of course Britain post Brexit will see an increase to that. Asking for ?9.75 minimum salary is funny. Most retail jobs are offering around ?8 an hour in a much less relaxed environment. That Cinema has more than 5 employees? WOAH! No wonder... Literally I can't see any possible way that a Cinema of that caliber has that many employees. The times I've been there it feels like a family run cinema with a few small rooms. Anyways good luck, I feel like your wrong for feeling entitled to wages of ?9.75 and no 0 hour contracts. You don't like it just change jobs, or I don't know vote for a Gov that will give you what you want.

Thats why Southwark is getting worse.

You are talking about innovation... The last innovation that TFL made was back in 1900.

Who needs buses to get somewhere? Just use Trains... they are reliable and awesome.

yes cause people don't have jobs and they are usually home on Wednesdays between 10am and 1pm... Seriously useless Southwark.

Fewer buses, crappy train services, no police station, fewer rubbish pickups, broken pavements, soon no parcel pick up point. Is there anything else coming our way on ED? Is the local Gov trying to make ED a completely useless area to live in?

You misunderstood what the guy above was saying, but maybe you new to ED. Prior to LB upgrade trains were more often. E.g there was an 8.00 to LB then an 8.10 8.20 etc. They've cut it down a lot and the service is much less than the one they had originally signed off with the Gov. The works in LB are close to complication. I don't see anymore works affecting our schedule, no more lines added and the platforms are done. Instead of returning to the old timetable which had a train every 10 minutes on peak times and then every 15 if I am correct we kept the amended schedule that was in place after the works started. So in fact we are getting a reduced timeline and trains are slower than what they were before getting into LB.

Atm its open, but its pre-launch kind of thing. The doors and the windows also can open making the space open during the summer for both indoors and outdoors fun.

My wife is interested to know if she is able to get the bus going and coming back to work. Last week there was too much traffic and most buses were just letting people go off DH station and walk all the way down. Is it still on or its done? If its still on, anyone knows for how long will it be?

Yes SelectaDNA rocks! So you get robbed, then IF the police EVER finds anything, it comes back to you. So for example if someone steals your windows10 laptop, then in 10-15 years (Estimated recovery time), you'll get it back!

Stupid laws made by stupid people, I remember 20+ years ago an aunt of mine got sued by the berglar asking for damages because her stairs were slippery and he felt and broke his leg. He won the case as well. In the US (most states if not all) its legal to shoot someone trying to get in which is the one extreme side. Here if the berglar can't get in and he gets any kind of damage he can sue you and make money the other side of extremism.

You'll most likely get it. They don't care about giving away money, given the compensation scheme is Gov's money aka our tax money. So pretty much Dirty Gov gives a shitty train Company tax money to throw away on compensating us while they keep profiting. Amazing system ye?

Which road?

Yes it does feel like bus drivers are clueless and the training they give them is minimal. I used to take the bus occasionally 4 years ago but since then I just decline myself the displeasure of getting on a bus. There are people that adore it as it seems from this forum which I find it weird but meh...
