  1. I spoke to VM on 27/1 to complain about their poor download speeds in the evening, (which BTW I am currently monitoring on an automated basis and it falls off a cliff between 6pm to 11pm) and they promised to rebate me until it was fixed, which at the time they reassured me would be "early Feb". Needless to say that (a) it has not been fixed and (b) when I received my bill no rebate had been applied. However when I spoke to them again today, they were more efficient and forthcoming and have provided a rebate of ?7.50 per month, backdated to 27/1 and fixed in place until 19th May which is when they expect the capacity issues to be resolved.

  3. Don't confuse a consultation with a vote. Having said that as I have said before this is a sledgehammer to crack a nut and really feel for those that live around there and how they will be affected. I am especially concerned about the change of Bellenden from one-way to two-way between Holly Grove and Chadwick. The current one-way street provides vehicles overtaking cyclists with plenty of room, a two-way street means that the road will be considerably narrower travelling from north to south and vice-versa, especially as cars will be parked on the side with houses.
  4. Lineup announced. Never heard of any of them,but then I'm probably not the target demographic.
  5. An event for some of our older forum members ? Jellied eels not included. http://www.barbican.org.uk/library/event-detail.asp?ID=19107
  6. Each to their own. Bellenden Road shops are Bellenden Road shops. Bellenden Village is Estate Agent guff.

  10. Interesting site that demonstrates the increase in passenger numbers at rail stations from 1998-2015. Comes as no surprise that East Dulwich has increased by 477% ! http://www.bettertransport.org.uk/blog/better-transport/how-much-has-your-station-grown-check-out-our-interactive-map
  11. I can't see any reason for it to loop. It would need to operate in both directions or how would someone travelling from Red Post Hill to Sainsburys do the reverse journey ? Operating in both directions would require a separate route number eg 42a. Can't see TfL buying to this.
  12. Also spoke to Virgin last night. After the usual palaver about testing the equipment they agreed that the speed was very low - I'm getting around 1.5-2M - should be 50M. As others have said its a capacity issue and the person I spoke to said that it was expected to be resolved during the first week of February. I won't hold my breath. Standard compensation is paid from the date of making a complaint so I'd advise you to ring sooner rather than later if you're having problems.
  13. "Get 5% AER current account interest on balances up to ?2,000 plus 5% cashback on your first ?100 of contactless payments every month. To earn interest (which is paid monthly) just pay in a minimum of ?500 a month and register for Internet Banking, Paperless Statements and Paperless Correspondence. No interest is paid on your balance over ?2,000." So, currently max gross interest of ?160 per year (?100 + 12 x ?5) or about ?13 a month. I imagine this is a teaser offer to get people to open accounts that is likely to be withdrawn as some not-to-distant point in the future. Not saying that you shouldn't go for it just being clear on the benefits for the wider audience.

  15. Duplicate thread alert http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1628875
  16. Also worth mentioning that bus will be double decker not single and that it will no longer travel via Sunray Avenue but Red Post Hill instead. This will require alterations to the Red Post Hill road layout.
  17. If you look at the link from RD above it shows the difference between a one-way and two-way switch - essentially a two way switch has three terminals and a one way has two. Regardless unless you thoroughly understand how your lighting cabling works and how its all connected I wouldn't recommend a DIY approach. Another page from RD's link shows how two two-way switches are wired. http://www.lightwiring.co.uk/two-way-switching-3-wire-system-new-harmonised-cable-colours/
  18. AM - just because the switch is two-way doesn't mean it'll operate a single light with another two-way switch. It has to be wired to do so. I doubt that the double gang switch has one single-way and one double-way. More likely is that the 2nd floor switch is single-way or that it's double-way but they are not wired to both operate the light.
  19. ..and that discussion of a yellow box junction in Holborn is way off topic.
