@Redpost - not strictly true, of the whole area the study said: The overall response showed the majority of those who responded (69%) were against a parking zone, 25% wanting a zone and 6% were undecided. It's only in the "Melbourne Grove" area that the 54% figure applied and within that area "14 streets were in favour of a parking zone, 12 were not in favour and 8 were undecided."

Someone made an FOI request a few years ago asking TfL of the average age of black taxis. Less than 7% were 15 years old. 50% were between 7 and 8 years old. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/spread_of_ages_of_londons_black

Foxy - do you own a car, I don't believe you do as you said on another thread that you'd sold yours. Do you ever think that you might come across as a bit of a doom-monger ?

Nice one Sherry.

Just emphasising Louisa's point, if you can go on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and there are at least two of you then using Meerkat Movies is a good deal as it enables you to get one ticket for free. I'm not sure how it works if the tickets are different prices - I suspect the cheaper one would be free. Also you cannot book ahead with Meerkat, which makes it less useful for popular movies at peak times. While Picturehouse and Odeon do accept Meerkat, Peckham Plex don't but given their prices I'm not surprised. MoneySavingExpert has a page on how to get Meerkat Movies - I got mine by taking out a 1 day UK travel policy that cost about ?1.50. So long as you go through the Meerkat site then that gives you membership for 1 year. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/deals-hunter/2018/07/2for1-meerkat-movies-cinema-and-meerkat-meals-restaurant-trick/

That's a no then.

That'll be the Herne Hill farmers market in Stoke Newington. Not the one in Herne hill.

Chesse ? You should ask for a refund on your school fees Bob.

I've had exactly the same - post for next door and post for a house with same number in a different street. Poor quality service. And as you say what's happening to your own post ?

No, it's not a new charge ! I discovered yesterday that Southwark Residents can visit the inner workings of Tower Bridge for ?1, normal adult walk up cost ?9.80. https://www.towerbridge.org.uk/learning/communities/community-ticket-terms/

And when did you last write a cheque ?

Lovely old sign on the shop that was previously a newsagents on Bellenden.

And about 50% of Elsie will have double yellows either side of the dropped kerbs where houses have off-street parking.

1, are there any other countries where cyclists are licensed and taxed? 2, do you honestly think its a good use of police time to check if cyclists are licensed

Personally, I'd have felt ripped off at ?6.50.

TFL - for motorbikes, scooters etc: "The ULEZ will be enforced based on the declared emissions of the vehicle rather than the age - but generally speaking Euro 3 engines as those registered with the DVLA after July 2007." I cycle a bike into town regularly. I rarely see bikes that look over 12 years (14 in 2021) old.

Y'know, perhaps we should all just buy smaller cars. Problem solved !

I simply don't get why Village Way has a CPZ, all the houses have driveways. Just a huge inconvenience to those that parked there.

James it'd be good to know: 1 - what the threshold of requests over what period triggers a consultation process at the expense of all council tax payers (at a time when local authorities are continually talking about reductions in central government funding). 2 - whether or not the council has confirmed the requestors (a) still live in the area (b) whether they still consider it an issue (they may now have a dropped kerb/osp arrangement) 3 - whether they can publish a map of where the requestors live. It would interesting to see how many live close to the station for example.

Take a look at GripIt - you can buy them from ToolStation up the top end of Lordship Lane near South Circular. https://www.gripitfixings.co.uk/ If I remember correctly I think the guy that invented them was on Dragons Den. ETA - obviously you'll need a rack of some sort as well - these are for fixing said rack to the plasterboard wall.

Informative twitter thread of recent experience at Crown and Greyhound...sounds like it still pretty dire.
