The three chaps who manifestly aren't fixing the gas leak outside my house for the past three months are reading their papers in the van. One of them theoretically operates the digger, one of them sometimes gets into the hole and then gets out, but the third chap's function is puzzling. He occasionally eats a cake and every now and again gets the ginger one in a headlock.


Frequently they all talk on their phones and sometimes a fourth one arrives and they all stare into the hole and smoke cigarettes.


Sometimes I think I should invite them in. It must be cold out there.

As they are not currently orbiting the planet, that would suggest said gas leak has been fixed...

that'll be me - steve has met me and knows my name


Mayeb these workmen are slackers but I can't imagine any company being that badly managed they could get away with that for so long. It's probably not just tardiness butthey may be dependant on people off-site as well


But if they are slacking, that's why I wondered whatthe response of the company in question was

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
