The housing stock varies across ED and Forest Hill, being a combination of Victorian properties with either tile or slate roofs and 1930's style housing stock with predominately tiled roofs. 90+ years and still as good as the day they were laid. I've known of a house built in the 187 - 1890 having a slate roof, having solar panels fitted with what I understand was a water heat exchanger as well. When the house was eventually sold, one of the first things the new owners did was to have removed the solar panels/heat exchanged on the roof. So what some people invest in and hope that it contribute a little towards reducing global warming and save some money from their heating and lighting bills, others simply remove the paraphernalia.

and if you've been listening to the radio, their have been ads offering compensation schemes for solar panels which didn't give the prospected return they were supposed too. Caution, caution, caution.

Thanks for the directions.

About a week ago close to Foxtons, I was waiting near the bus stop when a family, mother and two under 10's where walking towards me. A kid on one of those electric scooters appeared from no where behind the family group and shot through the gap between the daughter on the outside of the group and pretty much where I was standing, almost taking out the daughter. He happy hopped off it and waited a few door down for a takeaway before him and his mate then took off again past Foxtons and an a 45 degree angle straight into the road. He was lucky to have not been taken out by a car or van. While I can imagine for a young teenager they are great fun, the buzz of going at speed down the middle of the road, I fear to say they are an accident just waiting to happen. No helmet, no gloves, a pair of trackie bottoms and a shirt. A vehicle would make short work of the rider.

Hope this helps you find it. I believe it was vandalised at one time and precious metal was taken from the grave stone. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/30703776/frederick-john-horniman https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/30703776/frederick-john-horniman#view-photo=15482310 It's a shame that the grave is not maintained by the museum as you'll see from the slide pictures in the second link. I'd have thought that the grave of someone of his stature would have been tended to.

meant to have said the jab, it's a small prick.

You miss quoted me, it was said by someone else, but I agree with what they said.

No argument their, what would be the benefit for falsifying 100,000+ death certs? The NHS are doing the very best they can in extremely difficult circumstances. I doubt Boris, Hancock and co ever envisaged they would be dealing with a pandemic. All are politicians reliant on the scientists. The vaccine is here and 17.4M have had their first jab with second jabs happening probably in less than a month. It's not surprising that mistakes have been made, lockdowns raised too early and quickly, the Christmas fiasco. I only hope lessons have been learned and this time the lockdown is slowly released with the proviso it will be re-instated if the figures start to increase again. In four weeks we'll start to know. The only experts in this are the scientists in who we all have to put our trust in. Is that not what happened with the Spanish Flu, I wasn't born then so can't comment. Lastly, it's not just those who died prematurely because they contracted the virus, but all their families and friends who have all suffered and been affected and are grieving for their loved one's. I do feel we all may have some responsibility though for the non essential socialising that may have contributed to the high death toll?

Well said. > You think about others so much you are prepared to > pass on the virus to them by remaining > unvaccinated.

So what exactly are you trying to discuss here, is it either the number of deaths from people who have had the vaccine OR the number of deaths of those who sadly have died as a result of Covid 19? I'm guessing it's hard to tell the difference between those who have died within 28 days of testing positive and those who have died from some other cause where Covid may be a secondary reason for death, a bit similar to when someone dies and pneumonia is a secondary cause of death.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and free speech. But calling people idiots I don't think is a cool thing to do. Yes, people have the choice to be vaccinated. Personally I'd rather take the vaccine then be on a ventilator. As I told you before once you've been on one or seen someone on one it'll change your mind, forever. The Govt's first duty is to protect its citizens, that's what they are doing, 17+M and counting day by day, have had the vaccine. I don't hear of any deaths that have resulted from having the vaccine. You'll likely tell me its a conspiracy that the media are to blame for not reporting no deaths from having the vaccine. It's estimated that by May everyone will have been offered the vaccine. As someone else has said above "It isn?t just about you though. You may catch COVID with mild symptoms or even none at all. But you would still be infectious and perhaps pass it on to others who are more vulnerable." By all means do all the research you want, but please don't put others lives at risk because you don't trust the vaccine science.

I'd rather get the jab and take the "apparent" risk rather than catch the potentially fatal virus. If you've had the misfortune to be put into an induced coma and had to be ventilated or seen someone in an induced coma or someone on a Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV)/(Nippy) which is a fully fitted and sealed face mask that pumps oxygen into you to push carbon dioxide out of your lungs, I promise you, you'd take the vaccine in a jot.

Pf - apart from a slightly sore upper arm for a day or so no other effects. It was sore because - the vaccine apparently has to be injected into the muscle. I'd say go get your jab.

Have pm'd you with an update you may well find useful. malumbu Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > That makes sense.

My reasons are pretty spurious!

Whilst battery cars maybe the future, what appears to be conveniently over looked is where is the power coming from to make and charge all these batteries and the inadequacy of charging points across the UK? Issues already exist with the reliability of electric vehicles, some "dying" after a minimum of three years, and a requirement for batteries to be replaced. How will these be disposed of safely? And how will electric vehicles eventually be scrapped when some are inevitably written off? The "green agenda" is driving these changes, but all changes have impacts and consequences.

Was a burst on Dunoon rd, SE23 which knocked out a large part of the area. It was fixed after about 19hrs.

Unfortunately I doubt we will ever return to the life we lived pre-Feb 2020. Life has changed and precautions as designated by this or future Governments will in some manner remain going forward. Hopefully a slow approach to the easing of the lockdown, monitoring and reacting to the effects, rather than a fast and furious return to everyday life may be the way forward.

Try these if meats not your thing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/diets/vegetarian

Check out https://www.bbc.co.uk/food to get inspiration if needed. IMO these boxes are an expensive fad. Take a wonder around the fresh fruit and veg aisle in the supermarket, lots of choice to help contribute to a meal. Buy some minced beef, pork or lamb, a couple of onions, two or three carrots, a handful of mushrooms, a pack of knorr stock pot which ever one you like. A bit of plain flour, salt, pepper, even chilli flakes for a bit of heat, or fennel seeds for a different flavour (what ever you like) Dice the onions and carrots and soften in the pan. remove and brown off the mince. Add the veg back in, add a table spoon or two of the plain four. Stir around for a couple of minutes, add in some water, add two stock pots, slice the mushrooms and scatter on the top. Simmer gently, till the mushrooms have softened and it can be served with mash or pasta, or croquettes or just with some crusty bread, what ever you choose. A simple filling meal. Rice pudding Grease an oven dish with butter, take 100g pudding or Short grain rice, 25g brown or caster sugar, add 700ml milk, a couple of handfuls of sultanas or raisins, top with some ground cinnamon powder. Place in the oven (top shelf) at Gas Mark 1, bake for about 60 - 75mins, till it just wobbles and the milk has been taken up by the rice. A quick and simple hot pudding. Done. Serve with a dollop of jam, cream, or a bit of milk, again whatever takes your fancy.

Right, try calling the 119 number to speak with someone, it's a maze of menu's that does not include an option to speak with someone. If the process is not simple and straight forward I believe people may get fed up and not bother. (although I feel Everyone should be vaccinated) Eventually spoke to someone and was told it would be my Practice which put me in the group I am in and the NHS can't change that. One of the staff at the surgery today said it was the NHS the other said it was the surgery who categorised patients. So no clarity there then. Funnily having spoken with the dept I am under at Kings, who said the opposite, that I was deemed to be in the vulnerable group and should be vaccinated. I was offered a vaccination today. The process at Kings was efficient, effective and very well organised. As an add on to this, it was clear that those being vaccinated were of a wide range of ages.

That was my experience, but you believe you know better!!!!!!!!!!

Booking a vaccination slot is not straight forward, lots of menu's to navigate, continual referrals to the NHS website and very difficult to speak to a person. Well Matt, if you don't make it simple, no wonder people are becoming dis-illusioned in getting the jab.

So. Part of Forest Hill rd, Outside Tessa Jowelll centre, Lordship lane Goose Green end But, earlier both sides of Langton Rise road and pavement still snowy. Any way, I think Southwark are doing a good job in relation to this.
