    My first car

    Fiat 131 Supermirafiori.
  2. Hi How can I best try and get this in my ward? thanks?
  3. I just take them to the tip / recycling centre on Old Kent Road.

  5. As I recall I see the message re optimising apps when the phone has updated to a new version of Android, just let it get on with it.
  6. James As far as I can see your pic is the same as the one I originally linked to which we have been discussing in the thread. There is no cycle symbol and no white line. On my ride to work today I checked, all cycle markings on the road have the symbol and this one didn't, hence my theory it wasn't replaced as it wasn't complete in the first place.
  7. I imagine cock up more than conspiracy tbh. It looks like they started (in green) and just didn't finish (the lines and symbol) Must have been a Friday.
  8. Sorry, I wasn't clear. All I am saying is there was not a proper box in place before coming down the hill - no border and no symbol. So I am predicting the engineer will say in a very "following orders" kind of way there wasn't a valid box to recreate, so he didn't. The comparison being with coming from the direction of the Common where it was a complete marking which has been recreated.
  9. See attached - - which shows the one heading from Dulwich Common referred to above. Looks like the difference is that one was done properly in the first place ie complete box with cycle symbol and has been recreated. Fairly sure that's what the engineer will say. Edited for clarity.
  10. Suffers? I've heard worse.. I will try, although I think the engineer may still say he is right as the old scheme wasn't a complete box. Broken down all there was was a stop line with some green after it, with no cycle symbol and no further stop line. He's essentially just replicated the incompleteness give or take a patch of green paint which I imagine carries no significance in the highway code without accompanying pictures or symbols and white lines. Having said that there is also the lead in line which they ignored completely...
  11. I have one of these for shirts, not that I cycle but I use it when I go away https://www.amazon.co.uk/Patrona-Shirt-Shuttle-MK3-Black/dp/B00NFYWVCS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462810851&sr=8-1&keywords=shirt+shuttle+mk3
  12. It looks like there was an incomplete box there before ie missing the picture of a bike.
  13. Flounced?
  14. To Seabag - no, the GPS is generally very accurate, and you appear to have an accurate speedo also. The 10% on speedo's thing refers to the police allowing a 10% margin of error before prosecution (normally) as it's accepted there are variables up to 10% on a speedo, ie you're very unlucky to get nicked at 76mph on a motorway, 32 in a 30 etc. Most car or bike speedo's err toward over estimation but by no means all. For Dulwich Fox road side signs do register bikes. And to finish on the original subject on my motorbike I very rarely need a satnav so don't want a fixed holder. I got one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Finn-Universal-silicon-smartphone-mount-bikes/dp/B00D8Z9KPU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462290711&sr=8-1&keywords=finn+phone+mount meant for bicycles though and it's great, holds my phone just fine at what the GPS has confirmed are, er, 'fast' speeds. Try one of these with a GPS speed app on your phone.
  15. British Heart Foundation, they collect as well.
  16. As a bare bones it's fine, and he can use it to confirm his cv is reasonably accurate and not much more. As I read this thread he has asked you for a reference to pass on, right? (As opposed to given your name to a potential employer to approach you for a reference). So you have a direct channel to him, regardless of references. At some level you look like you feel you're got some responsibility or potential to help ( too strong a word but there you go ) and you can do some good here, it seems. In a similar situation once I wrote back to someone saying I'd give the kind of reference you wrote if asked, but had an honest conversation with them about why I wouldn't do more to actually recommend them. This was based on the fact I liked them, and wanted to help. They applied what I told them, got a job, did well, and thanked me a year later. Not trying to give advice btw, but there some parallels.
  17. Is that just the one leg?
  18. Not sure where there's a map, but I'm sure road signs do the trick if you need to know. As a motorcyclist who is allowed in this bus lane (not all, but this one) who lives off Overhill I'm interested in this. There may well have been a driver going too fast up the bus lane, but if someone turned left across them and hit them that sounds all too familiar. I've had people cur across me who clearly haven't checked on a number of occasions.
  19. Identifying the parties on here can be seen as contempt of court, similar to if it's done on twitter. Remember what happened to those who mistakenly named Lord McAlpine?
  20. As a side note, they are not obliged to offer it at the price shown under the sale of goods act, see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/money-saving-tips/10602641/Price-glitches-Do-retailers-have-to-honour-pricing-mistakes.html until payment is accepted (not offered, there's the difference, for there's no contract In stores: If an item is priced incorrectly on the shelf, or scans at the wrong price at the till, retailers are under no obligation to honour it, under the Sale of Goods Act. They can offer the item at the correct price or refuse your money and withdraw the product from sale. If a pricing mistake is not noticed and the customer pays for an item at the reduced cost, the purchase is considered a legally binding contract between the retailer and the customer. The shop has no legal right to claw back any money if it later realises there has been an error.
  21. Looks to me like that's exactly what they're doing, this is the obvious place to I'd have thought.
  22. I just got a Captcha security screen when first clicking on my short cut to the forum along with a "I am not a robot" click. Never seen it before, refreshed and it went away. Ah, just saw the other thread.

  24. Thought this was going to be about Laibach.
