Can't wait for Nigello's rant about banners on the Rye!! Waiting for the next instalment in anticipation!!!

The Tams, There Ain't Nothing Like Shaggin It's Over, The Funk Masters

Expect the press and TV news to be all over them like a rash

Very stupid answer, hang them from the school railings, now that'll get Nigello really, really m A d

When the phantom scissor cutter takes them down, we'll know who is responsible. "Don't tell them Pike"

So your opinion is schools are great, adverting is not. Get Real

Please explain what other material they should use that you will be happy with. Potentially the banners will be used year after year, so that negates your argument on that point. I thought good parents had > STRONG OPINIONS on advertising corrupting their > children's minds? Maybe only when it suits. "advertising corrupting their children's minds" - If it's MacD's, KFC, pizza brand this, that and the other etc I'd totally agree, but these are clubs that contribute financially to the school which helps the school deliver, well schooling. What is wrong with that? Does it offend your principles? Let's have a vote, those in favour say I, those against say Neigh. Then in a weeks time we can count up the scores and see who the people of ED support, You or the School, Simple. And before you then start blaming local and national Govt, the Head is doing what they can to raise revenue, in my eyes it's a win:win. The school benefits, the children benefit and those running and attending the "clubs" benefit. What's your next point, pray tell??

perhaps change the title to reduced service as the service has not been cut, and yes I agree with you it has become more infrequent than it previously was.

Sephiroth wrote; "he didn't just lie - he legislated. People didn't see their relatives die" Yes totally agree with you, that was absolutely wrong.

Who cares about "partygate", so he lied, so what, he's a Minister of the Crown, all ministers of all parties don't always tell the truth. What we should be worried and be more vocal about right now are; i) Rise in inflation ii) Rise in cost of living iii) Rise in cost of gas, electricity and standing charges iv) War in Ukraine

Don't know about a stamp collection, but for unused stamps with the Queens head on them you can get a form from the Delivery/sorting office counter from end of this month, or the Royal Mail website. Unfortunately the Post Office for some unknown reason will not hold these forms (possibly to make the process more inconvenient). My understanding is and please correct if I'm wrong, that you then have to complete the form and send it with the stamps to the address on the form. They'll send you back replacement stamps. As a suggestion I'd count up how many 1st, 2nd and other stamps you have, keep a record and photographic evidence as proof just in case. IMO the process would have been far simpler if stamps could have been exchanged at a Post Office, (oh they shut the big post Office in Rye Lane and the one on Lordship Lane is a small one) Good Luck....

NO "This isn't really going to work as inflation is going to kill us" a wholly inappropriate thing to say bearing in mind what is happening in the Ukraine NOW. "If you have savings and can't find a return to match inflation or partially live off the interest - your savings valie will fall." Agreed - that's why some people try and save for a "rainy" day. We've got the summer around the corner, what is concerning is though is that come late September this year through till March 2023, that's when it's going to get even harder and tougher for people and bills will be higher again than they are now. The Govt are unlikely to do anything else to help.

It took nearly 15 years before I was able to change insurers, OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

TSB are still in Peckham with a really friendly staff team.

And they'll charge more for the tariff so while you'll save on zero standing charge you'll pay more per KWh unit.

Admin, can I ask why this thread was moved from The General ED issues/Gossip section as it will affect people in ED to The Lounge "Thread from the Lounge impacts on people in SE22 (who use HSBC in Peckham)" I was trying to get it a wider audience. HSBC have already closed the ED and Camberwell branches. My banking branch elsewhere was closed over a year ago, so it is kind of important that as may people as possible are aware of what will happen and the likely impact it will have on them to continue to have access to HSBC banking counters and staff for other queries they may have.

OK, ta

It's a banking space, not fussed if it's inviting or not, it's local and convenient, good enough for me. It has nothing to do with LB Southwark The bank and immediate surrounding area is better than other parts of Rye Lane I added the thread to the main section to give it a wider audience, what's the harm with that?
