  1. yes the green, when rubbish arrives at veolia it gets squashed and sort of composted for 12 days and then goes to SELCHP (the incinerator) https://selchp.com/our-facility/
  2. They recently spoke about shredded paper when I was on a tour at Veolia's recycling centre. It's like confetti when it arrives and can't be recycled however it burns nicely at the incinerator and they get energy from it.... (ie. via the rubbish bin)
  3. it's the only FB Group I was a member of where scam messages would sit for days unmanaged
  4. I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape
  5. Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
  6. there's a fox I know, I regularly pick his poo and I can tell you he aint getting his knife and fork out to choose between rabbit, feathers, nuts and berries for the evening. I'd say he has finessed recycling dog poop...
  7. the latest versions are fine but it's to be avoided on the 2nd hand market. Lookup Ford Ecoboost wet belt....
  8. Avoid any 2nd hand vehicle with the Ford petrol 1.0 Ecoboost engine and the Petrol 1.2 PureTech engine that can be found in Peugeot, Citroen, Vauxhall.... (you need to mention price for advice)
  9. I'm afraid the driver isn't able to escape the laws of physics which were laid down a few moments after the Big Bang
  10. ..... had a habit of going at bit too fast and learned his lesson.... he's not going to say that though
  11. This thread is so much more pleasant than the usual.... Thankyou Thankyou
  12. Only been for a 3 week holiday. Scan the AirBnB "experiences" these can be people on their own sharing their hobby. We did sailing in Sydney harbour, motorboating, and a "speakeasy" pub crawl which was a laugh, we all got trashed and went clubbing. The drive up the east coast to Brisbane isn't scenic, you're just starting at motorway fencing all the way. Fenced roads are for night driving. People don't drive unfenced roads in the countryside at night unless they have "roo bars"
  13. Try Haywards Heath, comes into London Bridge my brother moved there recently
  14. I'd recommend CarGiant in White City. Last time I was there 25yrs ago you could sit in all the cars (they were unlocked). An Uber will get you there.... Unlike yrs ago, Forecourt space is now expensive and scarce. You can go on AutoTrader and find stuff like this nearby, but like many others they're not selling from a Forecourt https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202502068806724?sort=relevance&searchId=fdfc8dae-7d57-4ba6-9202-d421254546a6&advertising-location=at_cars&maximum-mileage=45000&minimum-mileage=500&page=6&postcode=SE22 0HZ&price-from=1500&price-to=11000&radius=5&seller-type=trade&transmission=Automatic&fromsra
  15. Some managers never reach adulthood and don't have a sufficent level of maturity to understand the difference between a technical role where you are constantly producing output for deadlines, and their own role which is reading (but never responding to) emails and talking crap all day. I used to sit in the office (surrounded by chitchat) & pointless meetings getting nothing done so I'd go to bed when I got home & set my alarm for 2am to do my work. This went on for about 10yrs before COVID. I'm an introvert so I don't have any WFH negatives....
  16. There's been a spate of phone snatching around East Dulwich station and along Lordship Lane. But don't let that put you off the area, these things come and go. I've never had an issue late at night in the areas you talk about and I've been around here for 18yrs (before I moved I had the same concerns as you). Go visit your areas late at night at different times for your own peace of mind (I did)
  17. leave the window alone and put in some "secondary glazing" For sound proofing, you need as big an air gap as you can muster (in this image they should have used the whole windowsill) if you try your own DIY screen (with perspex & wood) you must seal it as far away from the window as you can and add baffles round the perimeter inside (eg. egg cartons) (or other sound proofing materials are availble online). The air gap is your baffle (buffer). Cheaper than replacing the window.
  18. Vispring, I'm not a poet so I don't have enough vocabulary to gush about it, best money I ever spent. Open your wallet, they say you spend a third of your life rafting on it (probably more these days with Netflix).
  19. caught him (it's his wife's dog)
  20. How did the triangulation eventually happen?
  21. Keep the phone charged and the owner might eventually locate you if you leave a note on your door ("I found your phone") else they might think it's where the thief lives....
  22. "He told the BBC he felt a little bit betrayed and confused over what to do next, with 12 months remaining on their current mortgage. The couple are planning to remove the insulation themselves, having been quoted £4,000." Plastic scraper & some bin bags, job done "Robbie, 38 had spray foam fitted in 2021 with the entire £5,733 cost covered by the Green Homes Grant scheme" Camera pans back to the couple with tears rolling.....
  23. you don't need to worry because you're not doing anything illegal, innit
