Hey,


Just been following this thread and I was hoping to ask a question to anyone who has used a van at the RRC. The permit asks to bring a driving license and 2 forms of proof of address.


My driving license has my old address (still in Southwark) so just wondering if anyone has encountered a problem with this? Would rather find out now than when I arrive at the RRC.


Thanks in advance :)

Hey Littlep,


I can't answer definitely, but when I showed up, the guy there seemed most concerned about just making sure I had the permit. There wasn't like a full ID check or anything. I'm sure if you've got a photo ID with an address in Southwark, as well as some other form of proof of address, you'll be absolutely fine.


Hope that helps!

As an aside you need to update your driving license for Change of address.

You really ought to update your driving license, there have been cases of people getting disqualified but not knowing it and subsequently getting their cars confiscated.

Having an out of date address on a drivers licence carries a ?1000 penalty, so it's a good idea to get it updated. However, the guys checking paperwork at the RRC seem to only be interested in checking you have a Southwark postcode and always seem very reasonable.

      We R Blighty Scam on Lordship Lane

      By Insuflo · Posted

      There was good item on Radio 4’s consumer affairs programme You &Yours on 1st December. It was about these CIC fund raising scams and refers to this We R Blighty mob in particular (they have been successfully prosecuted twice and fined for their activities in the City of London). Also mentioned the “knife crime charity” lot who also show up in ED. The advice was to give them nothing and that they are breaking the law. It’s on the BBC Sounds app or via this link  (the item starts at 41m51s in): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n065      I think you know perfectly well that is not what the poster is saying. There are a lot of CICs (there are now 37,000 of them) that have been set up specifically to mislead the public into handing over money. This We R Blighty is one such. These are the details of one of the cases against them in the City last month: https://news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/we-r-blighty-told-to-pay-out-thousands-over-illegal-collections/

      Are you saying all CICs are dodgy? I think that’s totally unfair.

      Similar deal to those Hive City guys who also camp outside of M&S, also a dodgy CIC rather than a charity

      Please be careful of border collie off lead in Peckham Rye

      By Angelina · Posted

      please report this to the police - were there any witnesses? She should face charges. the owner should not allow dogs off lead - I'm so sorry this has happened.  It would be good if you can identify her - are there cameras - in the cafes around? - follow her, find her address and report her. https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/ac/animal-crime/ also report to the park wardens so they can be found Your Local Council: Contact them to report issues in parks or public areas, especially if you know the dog or owner, as they investigate under local bylaws and the Dangerous Dogs Act. https://www.gov.uk/control-dog-public/report-a-dog
