Personally I'd want to know why the first 5 years, 1990 to 1995 have a much greater scale than the rest of the graph. That shows grown not to be as strong in those years, but if you adapt that then it will be a stronger growth in that period.
Graphs, a great way of telling the story you want to tell....

Just happened to me this morning, so it has not gone away.

Hi,
I live on Copleston and can recommend it. Doesn't matter a jot what the are is called, the street is nice, and yes the one way system is a bit of a pain, if you're on the ED Station side of Avondale raise. Parking is only a problem due to lazy t**t$ who'll take up 2 spaces as they can't be arsed to park properly, but on the whole you can usually get outside your house. Everything is local ED Station a 1-7 min walk, depends which end you live,
Also as Jah Says, there's the very good, but totally underused pub, Hoopers, not 5 mins away.

Hi,
Just found this after being away from the Forum for a while.
As someone JUST outside the propsed Zone I can see the cars being put in our street, whcih is annoying, and I'll be making my point known, BUT the one thing that did cause my eyebrows to raise is the fact that alternative fuel vehicle gets a 75% discount on the parking fee along with motorcycles.
Bikes I get, they are a space efficient form of motoring, but just 'cos a car runs on electric makes not one jot of a difference to it's size! And of course when we are parked up we're all zero emissions!
A totally clueless view on this I think.

Don't wish to ruin the parade but this won't have come thru Dulwich looking at those maps. Denmark Hill to Peckham and beyond is used quite regularly, but you never usually heare them as the hill from loughborough junction to denamrk is quite steep so they tend to coast through.
If you look here for mailine UK steam, you'll see what's running where in the UK.
Next visit, according to the website is 4th September, late in the day.

John,
May I ask if you know if the tunnel exists still that runs from the hospital to the north side of the railway, emerging in the vacinity of St.Francis Court.
I ask as my wife use to work in the hospital and used it as the walkway back to her accomodation back in the early 90's

Andrew Lawrence was stunningly good though, if a little uneasy on the eye! ;-)

Jeremy,
Trucks that lift them by the wheels. The same trucks that take your car if it's "Towed Away" - though they don't...

Thanks, been looking at those, but the buttons look fiddly, also no right hand side button, as you hold it, which is what I want for the Melee kills.

Thanks for the helpful advice give, and the links, that's appreciated.
I'm aware shares go up as well as down, and don't intend to invest more than I can afford to lose etc, etc, etc....

Can anyone recommend such a place?

Hi All,
I just wanted to raise this point to see if I'm overly cumudenly about such things, or if it is a valid concern.
VAT goes up to 20% shortly, so for all those items that were say ?19.99, the news cost will be ?20.41 BUT and this is my concern, retailers will simply up the cost to a "rounder" figure of say ?20.50, or ?20.99. Or on say a ?499 TV, the new price of ?509.61 may become ?509.99.
Granted the pennies are minor, but it's the "Let's milk them dry" approach that this country seems to have is my concern.
Anyone else pondering this?

Unless you know your speedo is 100% accurate you cannot say that. Book that lesson, let us know what they say to you.

I hope you're joking!
"Keep right" from a sat nav, means at the junction up ahead, not your position on the carriageway!

Waynetta,
You're missing, or choosing to ignore the point here.
If the inside lane (Lane 1) is clear then you should be in that, until you need to overtake. Simply sitting in the middle lane (Lane 2) at 70 reduces the three lane carriageway to a two lane carriageway, because as Peckham Rose said, undertaking is illegal. Illegal in the way that going over 70 is illegal. It's naughty but some people will do it.
If you sit in lane 2 and someone goes inside of you, there is a good chance you'll not be expecting that car to be there, so be more alarmed by it, which may lead to accidents etc as we are taught to look out primarily for other traffic from our right hand side.
If I take your view for a moment, that if you're going 70 and no one can go faster then you could (following your logic) sit in the outdside lane (Lane 3) at 70. But I guess you don't do that?
On a matter of safety. If you have to make an emergency manouver, and have to go across Lane 1 (as opposed to going onto the hard shoulder), then there is a much greater risk of collision. Likewise, if too spanners are hooning up each other's backsides at 90 in Lane 3, and one of them needs to make an avoidance, you could be the car they hit, as they won;t sewrve towards the oncoming traffic) so clearly you're safer in Lane 1.
In essence, the highway code's rule of the road is keep left, a mantra derived through over 100 years experience from car's being on our roads. It works well, and if everyone followed it our roads would run a lot more smoothly, as sadly the vast majority of middel lane drivers are travelling at circa 55-65 mph, and to my mind one of the great weaknesses in the driving test that there is no motorway examination. Also, while sitting in Lane 2 is not illegal, The Road Traffic Act 1991 give Police the powers to prosecute people for the offences of dangerous and careless and inconsiderate driving. Which this can be clasasified as, given it breaches the keep left rule in the Highway code. Have an accident and say "I was driving in the middle lane minding my business" and opposing council/police/insurance company will have a field day!
Taking a much harsher view, so you see it from all angles. Your middle lane approach means that you have no regard for other drivers around you, and your social responsibility to them as a driver. Speedo, by law have to be accurate to within 10%. Your car may show 70, but may only go be going say 65mph in lane 2. MR A N Other may come up behind you in Lane 1 in thier car, beleiving they are doing 70, but be doing 75mph. You both believe you're doing 70, but clearly you're not. They have to go across three lanes to get past you, so they swear, wave impolitely and you do the same, so getting unduly stressed. Only one of you was not heeding the highway code, and it wasn't Mr A N Other.
If you're still not convinced by our comments, book yourself out for an assesment with an advanced driving instructor, and head off to the M2 and take your middle lane stance, I think they may offer you some pearls of wisdom to consider.
