  1. FreeAgent for me.
  2. Are you hiding in plain sight ? Is there someone buried below ?
  3. Witnessed my first emergency vehicle blocked by the LTN yesterday. Police car with lights flashing heading from LL towards DV. Made to turn into Elsie, then changed mind and turned down Derwent. Had to 3 point turn at the bottom and exit back on to EDG. Wisely didn?t try Melbourne. Headed off towards DV.
  4. https://youtu.be/6SIlYiiCGLI The old fashioned little nippers work for me but I?ve quite fancied one of these.
  5. So this morning the pressure had dropped in the heating system sufficiently for the boiler to turn off. Not altogether unusual every so often. Re-pressured to 1 bar when cold. Now warm it's over 3 bar. I'm wondering if the expansion vessel has had it (it's about 11 years old) and diaphragm has leaked, hence pressure drop and now it's unable to soak up the pressure caused by the expanding hot water. Any amateurs like to venture and opinion ?
  6. .xml or .xls/.xlsx ?
  7. Bob, do you understand symmetry ?
  8. Ironic considering the road is hardly used for vehicles any more.
  9. I could practically throw a stone from where I live to TJ but I wasn't offered it when I went to book my appointments. I went to Guys, not really an issue as I am working in the office most of the time and it's fairly close.
  10. /forum/read.php?9,1772609,1772609#msg-1772609 Possibility?
  11. Oh dear - we're letting the side down ! Still contrast this with a month ago for the whole area and it's looking very good.
  12. /forum/read.php?9,2190132 Whatever floats your boat I guess...
  13. Slightly off topic but still related to air quality is this recent study of PM10 and PM2.5 particulates and the fact that domestic combustions (primarily one imagines wood burning stoves) account for 38% PM2.5 particulates whereas road transport is 12%, a difference that will become more marked over the next 10 years as more and more people switch to electric vehicles. I know the legislation has tightened around these but one wonder's of they should be banned completely, especially in urban areas. I have this vision of parents taking umbridge at the volume of traffic near schools contributing to the poor air quality then taking their children home and chucking another log on the wood burner. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/emissions-of-air-pollutants/emissions-of-air-pollutants-in-the-uk-1970-to-2018-particulate-matter-pm10-and-pm25
  14. Does anyone know if the Tessa Jowell Centre has a reserve list for unused vaccine ? They do at the place on Rosendale Road and it seems the BMA recommend this to avoid wastage.
  15. Wow - almost zero cases !
  16. Phnarr, phnarr.
  17. Even better !
  18. I know that all the very local figures need to be taken with a hefty pinch of salt but it's encouraging to see that East Dulwich is now down to double figures of cases per 100k, rolling 7 day rate. On the 31st December that number was 911. Now it's 58. Southwark average is 179, nationally is 199.
  19. @malumbu re: blue lights, this is from last Sunday's Telegraph One report submitted to Southwark Council highlights how paramedics responding to 999 calls repeatedly encountered bollards and planters, often after discovering satellite navigation systems were not keeping up to date with new road closures. A London Ambulance Service emergency planning officer told how there were five incidents in as many days around just a few newly closed streets in Dulwich when paramedics were held up while responding to 999 calls. On Aug 29 last year there was a ?seven-minute delay reaching a cyclist laying on the road in the pouring rain due to [a] closure on Calton Avenue, and needed to divert around the closure?, the officer wrote. The following day, a crew was delayed 10 minutes due to the creation of another ?low traffic neighbourhood?. On Sept 3, there were three separate incidents also around Calton Avenue. The first was a 10-minute delay in reaching a patient due to road ?closures plus traffic congestion locally?, another resulted in a ?significant delay?. However, one caused a ?long detour? because of barriers on Calton Road which meant a six-minute hold-up in reaching a CAT 1 ? or critically ill ? patient.? Councillor Catherine Rose, Southwark?s cabinet member for roads, said fortnightly meetings with emergency services meant they had ?developed the right local solutions? to road closures, including introducing automatic number plate recognition cameras to allow ambulances access but fine motorists who ignore road closed signs. She added: ?The Ambulance Service has raised Calton Avenue with us and we are actively working with them and TfL, to identify a solution.?
  20. I think I saw a sign saying it's going to close for refurbishment early Feb do they'll die down for a bit.
  21. Very happy to recommend Rob. Arranged for him to fix a small leak on the mains feed to our boiler. Completed quickly with no fuss. Would definitely use again.
  22. @nigello, don't forget that there's going to be 219 residences on the nearby site of the Hamlet football club. Where will they buy their coffee?
  23. Interesting first post...
  24. Did LA to SF many years ago. It was a great trip but the PCH was blocked by a landslide and we had to take a very scary diversion through the hills on some quite precipitous tracks. Three things I remember - staying in the the slightly odd town of Solvang which is historically Danish and eating at the diner featured in the film Sideways (one of my favourites), the aquarium at Monterey and cycling (with two young children) across the Golden Gate to Sausalito and ferrying back across the bay.
