Primrose Hill is a touch further to get to than Dawson's Heights though. I can walk out my door and have possibly the best panoramic view of London in 5 minutes. I wonder if the inhabitants of the estate there appreciate the good views?

On a depressing note, I remember a friend of my dad's who threw himself off the top of there. Not a nice way to go! I was only about 10-12 I guess, so late 80's / very early 90's.

Those paths are a nightmare!!!!! When you're getting of a train from London Bridge (can't remember the platform number), and coming down that path there are a few steps towards the bottom. I REALLY WISH THEY'D PAINT THE EDGES OF THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE A DEATH TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :X

In these wonderful days of noone on the railways being responsible for anything as far as i can tell, the train companies bear always seem to sidestep responsibilty for the state of the stations, but at a pinch I think itlies somewhere between southern trains and network rail.

Having just had a look at their websites which should win some sort of obfuscation awards (DAFTAs?) I can offer use these nuggets

I've used it in the past and only received automated responses bearing no relation to my question, you have been warned.


What is it about wednesdays that make me acerbic?

acerbic (ə-s?r'bĭk) pronunciation also a?cerb (ə-s?rb')

adj.


1. Sour or bitter tasting; acid.

2. Sharp or biting, as in character or expression: ?At times, the playwright allows an acerbic tone to pierce through otherwise arid or flowery prose? (Alvin Klein).


[From Latin acerbus.]


just thought I put that there to save others having to look it up

An alien spacecraft in central London...


may be quite clearly discerned on broghter days when progressing along Underhill Road, with the cemetery on your right. Officially it is just the Telecom Tower perfectly aligned behind the London Eye but TPTB must think we born yesterday to swallow that one...

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
