I pick up litter on my block, but I don't clear up leaves (I don't have a rake) and I don't smile at strangers (they can all p!ss off).

"I think they maybe covertly checking vehicles as at a vantage point rat run" Checking vehicles for what? It doesn't sound covert if there's cameras and a sticker on the side of the car.

That's good news!

Georgian food is brilliant. Can't wait to try.

Sorry to hear about your cat, OP. Hope the fact it would have been instant is a tiny amount of comfort.

The phenomenon of kids being sent across town to primary school is not a transport problem: it's a schools problem with kids (esp rich kids) having to travel out of their neighbourhoods to go to a good school. Make all schools good and there's much less student commuting.

If you can pack yourself, take an inventory and/or pictures, and if you can trawl through Gumtree, there are some very reasonable prices out there.

Being principled isn't a plus if your principles are rubbish. But Corbyn isn't principled, he's just loopy: he worked for the Iranian government propaganda channel Press TV for years.

It's also complete cobblers. Corbyn has been saying the same thing about Israeli and Jewish issues since the 1970s, way before Muslims were ever a material electoral bloc in the UK. Corbyn's whole problem is that he hasn't changed his mins about anything in 40 years and retains the same smug, sanctimonious simplistic views he always has.

Let me know if this works and you can see the attachments now.

I suspect it's probably technically legal because of the tiny text at the back. It's a bit sneaky though.

A leaflet titled "Transport for London bailout facts - Important message for Londoners - Why TfL needs a second bailout and how it will affect you". The fonts, colours and layout are lookalikes to TfL's own corporate style (although not exactly the same). The leaflet (in brief) describes how Khan is doing a terrible job and how TfL's woes are mostly due to Khan's mismanagement and not Covid. It suggests you visit the website www.tflbailoutfacts.com But the leaflet isn't published by TfL. In fact, it doesn't say which organisation is responsible for it at all. In an epic fail, the website doesn't work (not just for me - I checked on IsItDown). Only if you look at the tiny print at the bottom of the back cover will you see the message that the leaflet is "promoted by Kerry Halfpenny on behalf of Shaun Bailey". And only if you Google their names to find out who they are, you discover they're an election agent for the Tories and a candidate for Mayor. All in all, pretty embarrassing. It sets a sad tone for the beginning of the campaign. It just makes it look like: - the Tory brand is so toxic not even their candidate wants to use it - the Tory team is happy to mislead voters and suggest their election material is published by TfL when it's not - the Tory candidate is so inept he can't even sort out a website before he starts promoting https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/tflbailoutfacts.com.html

It's probably cold comfort when you're knackered, but the imposition on you would have been for a good reason. Hope you can make it through the day okay!

The Wood House has little open-faced sheds/cabanas and a big garden. I think you can pre book the sheds. I don't know how they're doing drinks service.

60-70 cars at about 10am this morning.

Apparently at the time cash payments were abolished, only 1% of people were paying with cash anyway. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jul/06/london-buses-cashless

Well done, Mirash. :)

Thames Water website says it is aware there is low pressure in your area...but no other details...

All the parking in Dulwich Park was taken yesterday.
