No, it's an entirely different voltage which has to be run through a large transformer. Simply plugging a 110v appliance into a 240v socket would definitely wreck the appliance, probably start a fire, and possibly electrocute anyone holding the appliance!

Definitely return - a transformer costs almost as much as the vacuum itself and they're about the size and weight of a car battery!

What you mean is, old comrade, that you and I have, unusually, disagreed over a couple of issues. Look at my post, I just politely suggested that in my opinion you were making a bit too much of an issue of things. That's not being aggressive, it's just disagreeing. I agree I am aggressive with the (thankfully thin on the ground) alt-right/neo-fascists who infest these parts, but then I think everyone should be. I am tickerty-boo thank you apart from, like you, a few cumbersome health issues. Peace.

To be fair to both, Cameron did say he strongly supported Turkey joining in 2010, come about 2014 he was saying he was "still keen with safeguards" then in the referendum campaign he said "Turkey won't join the Eu until the year 3000". If you're going to argue by bandying Cameron quotes at each other you'll be here until Doomsday, as you can find a quote from the duplicitous bastard to support just about anything.

How many > of these 'commuters' are here to serve our local > ED needs - their timings of e.g. arrival and > departure would be the same as through commuters > using ED station? At the rare times I get the train in the morning rush hour, yes I have frequently seen people park up on Copleston and walk to the station, and the same coming t'other way in the evening. I have every sympathy with hospital workers who need to get to work, but given the fact that Denmark Hill is very well serviced by trains from all points of the compass from both within London and beyond, I can't really see why people working at King's would need to drive. Schools - I wonder how many teachers in local schools really live so far away that they absolutely have to drive (as opposed to it just being more convenient)? Certainly when I taught near this area I'd say 95% of my colleagues lived within easy public transport reach of the school - though about 50% of them drove. Yes, I know teachers have to carry resources etc, though my wife, who teaches in a resource-heavy subject, manages to commute to teach in Fulham every day by train without difficulty. London is choking to death on traffic fumes. 9,000 premature deaths a year - and not just old folks who would have died a year later anyway, children, people of all ages. Children are growing up with physical and brain deformities as a result of insanely high pollution levels. If CPZs and other measures stop people using their cars so much, even if it does make life a bit more inconvenient, sorry, I'm not going to regard that as a bad thing.

I can't speak for the areas around Lordship Lane, but I can assure you that on Copleston Road this happens a fair bit (which accounts for the fact that during the working day, it is very rare to see a free parking space between Grove Vale and Avondale Rise), see them all the time. The problem is, in fact, getting worse now they can't park on Quorn or Pytchley, and we frequently have selfishly dangerous parking on the corners of Soames Street etc. I don't know why they do it or what the benefit is to them, but in this street at least it is definitely not an imaginary issue.

Give me strength.

singalto Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Why do council tenants get free parking permits? They don't (as far as I'm aware), they get free permits to park in the estate carparks, e.g. if you lived on Pytchley Road you could get a free permit to park in the carpark round the back of the flats, but you'd still need a paid-for permit like anyone else if you wanted to park on the road itself.

If you view calling out someone who consistently pushes a hate-filled far-right racist agenda here as being wrong then I don't really care what you think.

What does that mean? And even if it made any sense, how is it relevant? Are cyclists not allowed to comment on traffic management now? Do they not use the streets? What you really mean is that, with your usual pro-car anti-traffic-management stance, is that you object to this scheme and were hoping to get loads of support; now it turns out most commenters are in favour you have to find a scapegoat. Silly.

Whereas racist Islamaphobic antisemitic bigots like yourself really know what's going on, don't you. I do wish you'd disappear, you nasty little man, your recent comment that you weren't sorry that Jeremy Hardy was dead clearly indicates that you're a filthy individual with nothing intelligent to say and who gets his jollies by provoking reactions by being as foul as possible. You are beneath contempt.

We're not going to starve, but: "We could see the random disappearance of products and well-known brands from shelves because supply has been interrupted," Ian Wright, the CEO of the UK Food and Drink Federation, told CNN. "We won't run out of food, but you will find that your favorite brands are sometimes in short or no supply." (January 25th) Or is he part of project fear as well? Also, in times of short supply, prices rise - just because goods will be on the shelves, the poorest may not be able to afford them. It's not going to be Armageddon, but neither do I think we should shrug it off as alarmism and "project fear" just because it'll probably be no more than a slight inconvenience for us in our relatively wealthy and well-supplied London bubble.

As I recall Admin did apologise, in public, on here, didn't they?

Sun shines on a dog's arse sometimes. Great weekend of rugby, never seen so many errors in a single weekend of internationals (nerves? Weather?) but made for cracking entertainment.

Sue Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > If you are going to keep having a go at me (and I > really don't know why, as this is none of your > business) If you object to people commenting on your business, old fruit, I would suggest you don't put your business on a public forum, making a massive issue about it at the time and then reviving it months later as a stick to try and beat Admin with. If you choose to do so, you can't, in all conscience, complain about people giving their opinion, even if you don't like it. My opinion is that you've built a massive mountain out of a very insignificant molehill: someone from Admin, with clearly the best, if misguided, of intentions, thought they would try to help you out with an issue, it's hardly a big deal.

Do the ingredients in fake tan stop it being fake tan then? Never knew that. This forum has rules about posting for business, which are clearly set out at the top of the business section. Despite these rules being clearly stated, this poster tried multiple times to make posts that break the rules. Not surprised Admin deleted her posts, and given the fact that she tried to break the rules over and over again and then complained about the rules being applied not surprised that they got fed up with her. ETA No I don't know the "administer" or even the administrator.

She does sell fake tan though, only it's called things like "Summer Goddess Shimmering Body Oil".

One of the Admin misguidedly took it upon themselves, with the best of intentions, to try and get an answer from Heals for a problem you were having with their customer service. You objected to them doing that, they apologised. It's really not worth chucking your toys out of the pram for, is it? As far as I recall they didn't use your name, has it actually harmed you in any way? Why can't you just say thanks, know you were trying to help but rather you didn't and leave it at that?

No Admin, no EDF. The rules are set, if you can't abide by them, tough luck. Other online fora are available. Sue, I seem to recall you got a fulsome and genuine apology from Admin for their slightly misguided (but genuinely well-intentioned) attempt to help you, perhaps you should drop it now?

Cracking game that - error-strewn, blood and thunder - stone me though, the French really gifted it!

I'd support that - only mornings 7.30-9.30 and evenings 15.30-18.30.
