  1. I'm trying to see the way forward on the registered title to a portion of land. Can anyone give a bit of clarification before I splash out on solicitors fees and then later find out that it was a lost cause in the first place. This is an issue where the proprietorship of the title (as registered with HM Land Registry) differs from that of the beneficial ownership. The property is leasehold land with 75 years remaining on the original 286 year lease. The last assignment was made in 1975 which gave title to two individuals. Lets call them Mr Brown and Mr Green. Mr Brown, died in 2004 before re-assigning his proprietorship to his son. Mr Brown?s son (Brown Jnr) was the sole beneficiary of his estate so he inherited the beneficial interest. He also requested Mr Green to arrange for him (Brown Jnr) to be recorded on the title as a proprietor. Green declined to do so because he wanted to buy out Brown?s interest on the cheap. Come December 2020, Green aged 92 is taken into a care home and gives his daughter (Green Jnr) legal power of attorney. Green Jnr agrees to Brown Jnr being made a proprietor on the Land Registry title. Both instruct their solicitors to arrange this. Come February 2021 and Green dies of Covid without re-assigning his proprietorship to his daughter (Green Jnr) who is the sole beneficiary of his estate. When Green Jnr and Brown Jnr last spoke last week , the former said that everything was at a stand still because of the death of Green and Green Jnr was awaiting Probate. The question is what can be done to get an assignment to Brown Jnr and Green Jnr as the new proprietors to the legal title? Both are the sole heirs to their parent's estates.
  2. Over the years, there's been lots of posts about problems caused by:- 1. Parents dropping off their kids outside the local schools causing congestion & disruption to traffic on EDG and Calton Ave. 2. Foundation coaches clogging Townley Road. So, I shall float a suggestion that would well alleviate both these issues. It is to pave over the vacant site that was the old SG Smith workshop. It's up for sale at a bargain price. It's within easy walking distance of all the public schools and both Charter sites. Coaches could terminate there and park up all day.

  4. @ heartblock, With you all the way. A very succinct and accurate assessment of the real consideration. Keep going and don't be put off by the spurious utterings of the minority who live in the newly created "gated" communities that have been created by LTN measures. There are thousands of of kids walking to schools in Dulwich (7 schools & preps in total). It is these young folks who are most vulnerable to the effects of increased pollution. The privileged wealthy residents of Court Lane, Calton Avenue and Gilkes Crescent are benefitting at the expense of the school pupils. Shame on them. They are soo, so selfish. heartblock Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Honestly it is so frustrating to be constantly > labelled by people like rahrahrah as wanting the > status quo.

  5. @legalalien I am with you all the way. You have a certain clarity of though whereas Rah3 I think just works at being deliberately obtuse. I no longer read his/her contributions. legalalien Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Rx3 is it really hard to understand?

  6. Can't figure out why the usual keyboard warriors have not mentioned this matter yet. No anguish and not even "I told you so" Is there any difference between (a) UK bivalves not meeting new EU regulations and (b) French fishing vessels not complying with the regulation on having tracking equipment?

Take guidance from Bob Buzzard. He's knows all about spoof wind-ups threads :0
  9. I'm not a 100% dedicated twitcher but fairly convinced we had a nuthatch on the feeder yesterday, Could this be possible? It had the very distinctive narrow eye stripe and rosy chest. It was clinging on tail up/head down whilst feeding.

Why don't you cut him a bit of slack? He is only exercising his right to free speech. Y'all don't have to gang up on him every time he posts on the forum.

UG quoted accurate statistics and drew a conclusion that was a fair reflection on the opportunism of politicians. Why should you attempt to condemn UG?. His opinion was not prejudiced against any ethnic/religious minority. Rather it was an personal observation on the behaviour of politicians.
  13. My understanding is that the underlying justification is it reduce vehicular pollution. Without doubt, the vehicles causing most pollution are those on short journeys where the engine and catalyser have not reached optimum temperature. This means local traffic - in particular the school run, with yummy mummies taking their kids to and from school, are the biggest polluters. In this technological age it is extremely easy to set up an ANPR monitored system in the area concerned. One could make it entirely free for 100% electric vehicles and a progressive charge thereafter depending on pollution rating. It could even be fine tuned to vary the charge depending on the time of day. In fact it could be fine tuned in a whole number of ways - e.g. by local residents postcode to give exemption.
  14. Let's face it. Barnier has overplayed his hand. He thought he could maintain the dominance enjoyed by the EU when Theresa May was dithering in office and when David Davis was bumbling along.
