I didn't notice any change before or after the management change. I think it's a plumbing problem, not just a hygiene one. I moved a couple of months ago and stopped going. Maybe it smells of mountain meadows now.

The Castle literally stinks of piss.

Squat on it. Clean it. Own it (in a decade or so): https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/adverse-possession-of-registered-land/practice-guide-4-adverse-possession-of-registered-land

German secondary education involves years of studying the Third Reich and the general awfulness of German behaviour during that period: the same is absolutely not true of British education. The sheer f'ing terribleness of every British colonial adventure, everywhere, is not a theme.

I can 'ardly take much more of this ducking argument.

There's a petrified human poo on the West Dulwich platform...

Has anyone examined the scene for forensic evidence? Usually events like this will leave skid marks.

That's the same as already mentioned above.

But when does Court Lane stop being Dulwich Village, then?

Eastlands Crescent...East Dulwich (as article said) or Dulwich Village?

Nightmare, I'm sorry to hear that.

I'd be surprised if they were Wee Frees or ascetics but I could of course be wrong.

I blame latte-drinking gentrifiers. Or possibly people that shop at Iceland. I don't know, whichever is more unpopular.

Or, you know, go in and speak to them about it. Or complain to the council.

1) you're being inconsiderate in some way. Raising wipers is a way of letting you know. Are you blocking a driveway or a dropped kerb? Are you parked in front of the house of one of those people who think they own the street in front of their house? Or 2) there's no point to it

The track isn't owned or controlled by the Mayor.

Total NIMBY thread. I especially liked the posts moaning about overpopulation caused by other people living in London.

Went to Mem's. Guy tried to be patronising. Never went back. I doubt they miss me.

That's silly. Triggering Article 50 doesn't mean negotiations can start: it means you start the clock to exit ticking and if you don't agree anything in 24 months, you leave with nothing. This stuff is complicated; the UK has lots of partners in this; it's going to take far longer than 2 years if it's going to be done well.
