According to their website B&Q stock F&B so they should have sample cards in store, but worth ringing to check as each store may be different. Failing that, Brewers in Peckham (along from Queens Road station)definitely stock F&B and have colour cards and sample pots, or they can get them in on order, they might even do a colour matching service, so again worth ringing to find out...

Woodchip isn't used for aesthetic reasons, usually it's covering up crappy looking walls as it's cheaper than plaster skimming. It's a lottery as to what condition the walls might be in underneath, from a few minor blemishes and cracks to a complete re-plaster. If you can't afford the latter or don't want the inconvenience that would entail, then best to leave alone and paint over. Solvite make a handy tube of wallpaper adhesive for sticking down loose edges etc which I've used successfully. If you decide to keep the woodchip, any painting over will have to be done using a thick brush rather than a roller. If you decide to remove the woodchip then be prepared that parts of it won't peel or scrape off easily, and you might need to hire a steamer. I'd also go down the route of colour-matching the F&B colour you like. Good luck!..

I'm sorry, but you can't detach one from the other, they are entwined. You need to point out the mistakes the Gov has made in order to learn lessons from them and hopefully not repeat them. The question you should be asking is why this government and it's apologists on here won't admit to these mistakes. I note from j.a's reposte to our resident racist...'' The British govt has admitted that they locked down too late''...but they haven't been that specific, as the FT reported a couple of weeks ago... Boris Johnson has admitted the UK government could have responded to coronavirus pandemic ''differently'' and that there remain ''very open questions'' as to whether Britian's lockdown was introduced too late. Until this Government acknowledges the mistakes it's made, and with some of those mistakes e.g care homes, apologises, then we are never going to come together as a nation...

One of the few things Johnson has got right during this pandemic is describing the anti-vaxxers as idiots. Couldn't agree more...

Care to quantify ''loads''? You're previously posted anecdotal 'evidence' of people walking around Lordship Lane is meaningless, you don't know why they were there or what they were doing, and begs the question why and what were you doing there? The overwhelming majority of the population adhered to the lockdown, while occasionally the press would zoom in on random cases of a couple sitting on a beach, or someone driving their car to go for a walk in a beauty spot, and so on. DC's eyesight test holiday stuck two fingers up to all those who had adhered to the lockdown, so although I agree with Spartacus' point about not 'jumping off the cliff' too, I can understand why many were angry enough to do so. None of this should distract, for that's what you're trying to do, from the Gov's failure to enforce a lockdown much sooner than it did after flip flopping from it's initial 'herd mentality' strategy. One of several reasons why this Gov has so much blood on its hands, and I see that another group of MPs has released a damning report of the Gov's shambolic role in this pandemic, and right on cue after my last post, it highlights the serious errors regarding border control and quarantining...https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53654644

It's just as likely that tourists, business people brought it back with them. Even during the lockdown we were still letting in tourists untested. The buck stops with Johnson and his cabal...

John Hume, the obits and tributes say it all. And Michael Gove & Claire Fox with their sanctimonious hypocrisy can fook right off...

Isn't MM just a typo for MSM?...

Allegedly that was war gaming a worst case scenario, probably deliberately leaked to see the reaction from the public, that's how this populist Gov rolls. The problem with that is when the inevitable row back happens they come across as dithering, haven't known a Gov perform so many u-turns over it's lifetime yet alone in it's first year, never a good look. Populism has always been easy answers/promises to difficult problems/situations. It can thrive under a concept like Brexit but withers when it meets reality, in this case, Covid. Johnson assumed his premiership would be defined by delivering an 'oven ready Brexit' (which, surprise, surprise, doesn't exist) and instead it's been trumped by Covid...

It's not young v old though is it, there's a vast swathe in between. If you had to choose between quarantining oldies or the rest, oldies wins every time for the simple reason they are more vulnerable to the virus...

Fook Boris, make Idris PM...

Normally when someone dies without a will, Probate or letters of Administration is required. This is a handy guide, under LoA it is possible for nieces to apply... https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/family/death-and-wills/dealing-with-the-financial-affairs-of-someone-who-has-died/ But I would check with CAB first that this ok in your situation before going forward...

Final scores on the doors... Week 31 points... Final table... Congratulations Meds, always difficult to catch someone once they build up a healthy lead, trophy still at the engravers. Thanks to everyone who took part, it all starts again in a couple of months so I'll post details of new league and password as soon as. I just managed to avoid the ignominy of going from first to last in the Fantasy league, not a vintage year all round. Enjoy the rest of the summer...

Denise Johnson, Manchester Soul...

Final fixtures, I reckon Meds should abstain from predicting this week so as to make it more interesting. Week 31 fixtures... Sunday 26th April Arsenal v Watford Burnley v Brighton & Hove Albion Chelsea v Wolverhampton Wanderers Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur Everton v AFC Bournemouth Leicester City v Manchester United Manchester City v Norwich City Newcastle United v Liverpool Southampton v Sheffield United West Ham United v Aston Villa Good luck to Cowboy in the Fantasy League. Bet of the day, West Ham to win @ 2/1, Villa 5/4 favs!...

I don't think the numbers do stack up when it comes to project funding, those sums won't get you much. Had you pointed the finger at the waste of tax payers' money on mayoral vanity projects e.g. Johnson's Garden Bridge (?53m) then you would have a better argument, but even then that's down to the mayor rather than the office of mayor. There needs to be more accountability when public money is thrown away like that...

Week 30 points... Week 30 table...

Nooooooooooo! Just looked at the website, closed on the first day of lockdown...unless of course you're Matt Hancock.

Whittens down from Peckham library has lots of wood off-cuts, might work out cheaper than buying a whole sheet, they will cut to size too, around 50p a cut. The off-cuts include solid lengths of timber e.g. ash, walnut, oak etc, great for shelves and some are big enough for table tops. A great place to explore for anyone who fancies themselves as a DIYer...

''Coca Cola...Levi's...The Beatles''

So the hot take seems to be that there's no Russian interference to report as there was no investigation into Russian interference. Rightyho, back to the troll farms comrades...
