It'll be a Conways contract - they are using the Emperor's New Grit - you simply show your lack of culture and intellectual appreciation by not being able to see it.


I suspect most of the bus routes are actually Southwark rather than the Highways Agency (that might be the South Circular) - anywhere which is rated at 30mph is Highways, I'd guess, the other is Southwark. And yes, in the case of one of the most heralded 'cold snaps' of all time to miss out on gritting must veer into a criminal lack of responsibility. Although of course the north of the borough may have been fully gritted.

This is just crazy and ridiculous. It?s winter, snow happens. Why the hell were main artery roads not gritted? Anyone from Southwark around to help and answer questions?


Also, it?s not much snow, why aren?t the drivers able to clear what?s already fallen?


Pathetic.

but given Southwark's penchant for neglecting front-line services when the Tories are in power- that is probably the real reason for no grit....'government cut-backs' as they quote with monotonous regularity.

I have just had a very angry exchange with someone on the Southwark Council switchboard. My questions were not answered because I was, and I quote ?talking to the wrong department?. I kid you not.


You have to press a thousand buttons before you get a chance to speak to a real person, and then they have no idea who you should speak to about something as important as grittting during a spell of cold weather. Unreal. Meanwhile, council tax goes up for another year and we are expected to just accept it


I am furious, and I?m not even leaving the house today.

Monotonous regularity? Oh the irony...

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
