Indeed, my predictions have downed tools in recent weeks, expect there will be a summer overhaul of future predictions strategy...

It looked beautiful, but it?s on a 3 story > large terrace house, so scale is also relevant. Great post Sb. There's a couple of small scale terrace maisonettes on Upland Road just after the cafe heading towards LL that have been painted a dark green up to what would've been the old shopfront signage height, that are worth a look. This is a pic of them, they are definitely dark green and not bluey green as shown https://www.purplebricks.co.uk/property-for-sale/2-bedroom-maisonette-dulwich-640332 Next door they've done the whole frontage in what looks like a much lighter sage green. Therefore also important to think about what colours would go if your neighbours already have a coloured frontage...

Another poll, this one by ComRes, figures in brackets refer to last EU elections where UKIP got 27%, same as BP in the earlier poll... LAB: 33% (+8) CON: 18% (-6) BREX: 17% (+17) CHUK: 9% (+9) LDEM: 9% (+2) UKIP: 5% (-22) GRN: 5% (-2)

What are you painting exactly? front door? windows? rendered walls?...

BREX: 27% LAB: 22% CON: 15% GRN: 10% LDEM: 9% UKIP: 7% CHUK: 6% When TIG first formed they were polling at 18%, but have quickly fallen, BP is currently enjoying a similar new party bounce. Regardless, with only 5 weeks until the vote there's no time for complacency from the remain side. This is already going to be less about manifestos and instead a straight forward re-run of the referendum, the difference being that the vote is fragmented, affecting Remain more than Leave. At the moment there isn't a party that remainers can clearly identify with and get behind, like there is with the Brexit Party...it does what it says on the tin. BP obviously picking up most of it's votes from disgruntled Tory Brexit voters. If Labour backed a 2nd referendum/confirmatory vote then they would pick up a lot of the remain vote. I know that despite not wanting to vote for anything to do with Corbyn, on this issue I would vote for Labour thinking they had the best chance of beating Farage and winning seats...

I doubt that anyone who has spent time creating a garden will then decide to pave/deck it over because of these changes, besides, the cost of paving/decking far outweighs the yearly cost of a brown bin, it would take many years to offset the cost. I expect the Council have factored this in and see gardeners as a soft target...

?30 a year equates to ?2.50 per month. June '18 to Mar '20 is 10 months, which on the monthly rate equates to ?25...

I was going back to the 1950's for the Brexiters among us... :)

Bank of England stated that Brexit had cost ?40bn up to May last year, so double that at least. That's ?80,000,000,000,000. What a waste of money, Revoke A50 NOW!!...

I make use of the garden waste bins and realise that there are many people who don't yet contribute to the upkeep of the service. But equally I contribute to services that I along with many other people don't use, such as the library. Are the Council going to charge them too at the point of entry? This is nothing more that a money making exercise, as well as being worse for the environment i.e. more plastic bins and car pollution...

At least it's now safe to book summer hols in Europe, some MPs have already got their priorities in order, seen leaving for the Easter recess with suitcases in hand, thus avoiding another Maybot ''let me be very clear'' speech in the HoC later...
