Old houses eh ? Who'd have 'em. I'm no expert but (a) I suspect it's been there a while and (b) the plaster is unlikely to be providing much strength to the wall in general. The company that seems to get a number of mentions on this forum that you might like to contact for advice (perhaps send them the pictures) is Goddens. http://goddenstructural.com/

Cranberries ? Careful, your middle class roots are showing.

FoLo - get a life.

...and the relevance of an 18 month old anecdote is ???

We're already at war in Iraq.

Paula Radcliffe book on eBay and keep the change.

Christmas Weaths AM - like the ones some people hang on their front door.

Nice little insight noted by Booth at the end of one of the walks: "At this point we were obliged to stop. Rain had fallen off and on all the morning and had now settled into a steady shower. PC Jones is a cheery fellow, whom even a drizzling rain cannot damp. He talks freely as we walk along. Today the conversation turned on the Drink question. He is not an abstainer; likes an occasional glass. He would like to see the public houses closed on Sunday, also the clubs. It would be no use to close the pubs without the clubs. The men would simply go to the clubs to drink. Now they go to the clubs in the morning and as soon as the public houses are open they are into them. He thinks that 19 out of 20 policemen would like Sunday closing. Prominent amongst the reasons is the fact that they would be able to have two days off a month instead of one as at present."

I found this archive recently and it contains images of Charles Booths handwritten notes whilst he walked the area gather the data for his poverty map of late Victorian London. In this example he walks a loop starting at Choumert Road, heads up to Denmark Hill, Red Post Hill, East Dulwich Grove, Goose Green and Adys Road. You can access other walks he did in the area using the drop-down in the top RHS of the screen. http://booth.lse.ac.uk/notebooks/b375/jpg/23.html The colours he refers to are his classification: BLACK: Lowest class. Vicious, semi-criminal. DARK BLUE: Very poor, casual. Chronic want. LIGHT BLUE: Poor. 18s. to 21s. a week for a moderate family PURPLE: Mixed. Some comfortable others poor PINK: Fairly comfortable. Good ordinary earnings. RED: Middle class. Well-to-do. YELLOW: Upper-middle and Upper classes. Wealthy.

What would happen if you had two part-time jobs of 3 days each ? Would that be worth 33.6 days holiday (i.e. 16.8 x 2) ?

Seriously ? Do you really imagine that the developers have spent what I cannot believe would be less than a couple of million quid on a building and all the associated development plans without having gone through the legal fine print? Good luck to you John but I think you just wasted ?3. In any event, the developers seem more than happy to maintain (and enhance) the passageway between Rye Lane and Bussey/Copeland and that passageway looks to be integral to the building, so I would suggest that it has always been there.

Surely all positive or all negative can't sum to zero ?

I find the "overhang" curious and think it a feature of the elevation drawing and the fact the building is not square. I really do not think there is any intention to build over the top of Khans. As regards the passage, I don't think it can be widened that much - proposed ground floor plans show the removal of the right hand wall (from Rye Lane) and presumably glass frontages into the ground floor units. Interesting to know the developers would retain access to Bussey/Copeland whilst the work is undertaken.

Assuming none of the values are themselves zero, then there are (2 x (2^(n-1))-2 permutations of positive and negative numbers. e.g. 5 numbers = 30 permutations. But in short there is no easy way to do this in Excel without resorting to VBA as Jeremy says.

Blah Blah - take a look at the attached. Actually a lot of the nearby premises on Rye Lane are commercial with residential above so they are hardly setting a precedent.

Makes a refreshing change from Billy bookcases. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?9,1595257

What's the relevance of the owner/developer ?

I guess it depends on how much you value the lights. If you use them outside and they blow then the worst that could happen is that the circuit breaker that your outside socket is connected to will trip. Having said that if you have one of those outside sockets that had a lid that has to remain open when something is plugged in then I think that you would need to replace this anyway as obviously it wouldn't be safe if it rained. If you did change it then you could put in an external socket that can be closed with a plug in it and incorporates an RCD so that only the socket would trip rather than the whole ring.

Has anyone tried contacting Cosmur's head office or the Considerate Constructor Scheme (as I had previously suggested) rather than whinging on here ?

Interesting sentence in the conclusion: A key challenge in implementing traffic calming schemes to improve population health is to think about affecting cultural change in terms of public attitudes towards roads and speed as without changes in the mentality of both drivers and residents, the success of such schemes may be limited or even have counterintuitive effects.

And yet Barclays maintain a branch in the Village, on Lordship Lane and in Peckham.

@slarti b - bear in mind that this junction is actually in Village Ward and therefore perhaps you should be directing your request at those councillors (at least as well) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
