Yes.

Dimelda's contribution is oddly victim-blaming. Considering there are twice as many female victims of "snatch theft" as male, maybe the right question is "why do male offenders feel so relaxed about targeting women for crimes against the person?" rather than "why are birds such dizzy cows lol?"

I can imagine that there are some specialist applications for which it would make sense and it's interesting to hear it's out there, but for most normal consumers a ?6600 conversion would not be economical. TBF thirsty dirty diesel trucks are exactly the kind of cars targeted by the ULEZ.

Rubbish. It's certainly been less windy than usual in the last month, and that's meant renewables couldn't do much heavy lifting over the last few weeks - but that's against the background of: - high European demand for gas last year - high Asian demand for gas now - Russia getting aggro over gas pipeline to Germany - fire at UK-France interconnector - proliferation of thinly capitalised, small staffed energy intermediaries that operated on wafer thin margins and didn't hedge against price rises None of which was the result of "reckless adoption of renewables". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58090533

That's good news!

Have you considered the possibility that maybe the changes just weren't as unpopular in real life as they were among certain empty vessels on here? Are dark money and untraceable, anonymous leaders hallmarks of a movement with genuine popular aupoort?

"The quickest way to report a request for parking enforcement is by emailing [email protected]. We will need to know the location and what the issue is. Examples of parking enforcement issues may include vehicles parked on yellow lines, footway parking, double parking or vehicles obstructing your drive." https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/report-a-parking-enforcement-issue

That ?100m isn't going to Nissan - it's to be lent to the supply chain that should service Nissan. 100m quid of taxpayer money to "pick winners" in marginal seats - what could go wrong in a chumocracy?

And these are the people we would trust to hand out subsidies to attract foreign investment in the UK?

It's complete nonsense that "the residents of Dulwich" all want rid of the scheme and that there is only weak support only on Court Lane and Calton Ave. This thread is a echo chamber that is not representative of the outside world.

A 2005 Audi A5...? I thought they didn't start making them until 2007. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_A5

Absolute tin foil hat material. Can't wait to hear how it links to COVID, the TV licence and (((Soros))).

That's nice. I preferred his earlier work in Atlanta before he got popular.

What a drag. What is a person supposed to do?

I think the more interesting question is whether Peckham is part of Nunhead.

Bon Coffee has opened up on Lordship Lane to replace "Truly Scrumptious". Seems like the usual coffee and croissants fare. No seating so far - maybe after the C-word recedes..?

The North East paid ?10.7 billion less in tax than it got back. How much do you think it would cost to build a new bus station in Peckham compared to a new one in Scunthorpe?

Calm down, our kid. No-one was suggesting they should be mandatory. Lots of people in East Dulwich have front gardens and side alleys - lots of people don't. I have no idea where the poster to whom I was replying lives. As for the question about where you leave a bike while you're shopping - the same place everyone leaves a bike while shopping - outside with a decent lock.

ID cards wouldn't be free: either you'd pay for them at point of issue or you'd pay for them through tax. Neither is attractive.
