Getting back on topic, isn't this new curry house technically in Peckham?

Fingers crossed it will be replaced by Iceland or a tandoori.

The World Trade Organisation does not set tariffs, it's individual members do. At the moment our membership of the WTO is managed through the EU and all of our international trade arrangements are EU trade arrangements. When Brexit is implemented we will set our own tariffs but it is a fundamental condition of WTO membership that you cannot impose different tariffs on different countries without a free trade agreement in place. This is beneficial to the UK because it means that EU countries won't be able to impose punitive export duties on products they sell to the UK without also putting those duties on every other non-EU, non-EU free trade agreement country (such as the US, Japan, China, Australia etc etc). The quid pro quo is that we can't pick and choose which countries' products we out tariffs on, it's all or nothing.

One thing you can always be sure of, whatever the actual state of the market, is that those looking to buy will talk prices down and those looking to sell will talk prices up.

"lethal hazard" seems a bit far fetched. I suppose someone might slip on the plastic and land awkwardly on the cardboard, suffering a paper cut which was left untreated because all the staff had by then gone to man the tills and everyone else was in the queue, leaving the poor victim to bleed out next to the flan cases and a packet of Birds custard.

Also those people who near double yellows but leave a gap of about 4 feet between their car and the start of the yellow lines! I'm sure all these bad parkers are only doing it to people so sick of it we all ask for a CPZ

Well, we will see what happens in just a few weeks' time when M and S finally opens.

The nearest beach this summer will be in Stratford.... http://queenelizabetholympicpark.co.uk/whats-on/events/2015/6/beach-east-at-the-park

The nearest Waitrose is just a few miles away in Beckenham and it has an enormous car park.

Did Caroline Pigeon say she would do anything? I see Helen Hayes has written to the transport minister and is publicly calling for the franchise to be removed. I'm sure it would help if there was public support from local government too.

Was this in Khan's manifesto?

Claire Perry thinks the new timetable is adequate. A bit of opposition to that from a heavyweight like Hatty is surely more likely to embarrass Perry into revisiting this.

There will effectively be a stand in at London Bridge on Monday evening because the only direct rush hour trains back dulwich are at 17.11, 18.08 and 18.51...

Helen Hayes has written a letter to Claire Perry which I hope will have some impact http://www.helenhayes.org.uk/southern_railway_emergency_timetable As for hitting profits is it possible to get a refund on monthly season tickets? I may do this and walk / cycle until the timetable is reinstated if so. Otherwise, southern have suggested delay repay can be claimed against the normal timetable so if every commuter claims for every journey that will cost them... On which point, I'm guessing they've picked on South London because our fares are the lowest in their network and the cheapest to reimburse / compensate thus protecting their revenues from more lucrative stations further afield?

It's an absolute shocker. Direct trains to London Bridge on Monday go at 6.55, 7.30, 8.30 and 9.30. The only other options in between involve changes at Tulse Hill or Peckham Rye to Elephant and Castle and then according to the published timetable "Make your way from Elephant & Castle to London Bridge".

Perhaps it's time for a petition to remove the transport secretary too!

On the Southern Twitter feed there is a suggestion that you can claim delay repay against the normal timetable so it might be worth putting in two claims every day.

Widening the pavements around the trees on Melbourne Grove will also mean losing a few parking spaces, putting pressure on parking and possibly leading to calls for a CPZ, something I know Southwark are loathe to implement.

I think the report found that there was no accident hotspot on Melbourne Grove and that traffic was generally safe and obedient.

The ?32,000 quoted for the work described in that email does seem out of kilter with the original costs set out in Conway's feasibility study. I hope that the residents of Melbourne Grove will be satisfied with this and, once the works and disruption are complete, will feel this is money well spent.

I like the look of this new building. Are the exposed girders on the top where the penthouses will be built? Are they still subject to a planning application or has it all gone through?

James you have no idea how her constituents voted. More than 35,000 people in Southwark voted to leave. There is a strong correlation between the demographic that traditionally voted labour and a large section of those that supported Brexit. It's perfectly feasible that more than half of the 27,000 that elected Helen Hayes also voted Leave.

New Wave, when you say she represents "us" remember that more than in one three people in Southwark voted for Leave. Many of whom I imagine also vote labour. In total 1,500,000 people in London voted to leave. London MPs and councillors saying they will / would do everything they can to annul those votes seems a bit off.

I think if it hasn't arrived you can collect a replacement from tooley street.
