There are lintels in there and the bricks are laid in an English bond, so a bricky did build it. It's likely it will get rendered inside after, so no pointing is required.


Lastly, it's surrounded by concrete and won't be going anywhere.


Are you a bricky or a civil engineer ?


No, thought not.


NETTE

I am concerned about the quality of the work Southwark contracts as I live here and provide the money: randomly what I know


Peckham Pulse: construction problems for years with little attention to design for energy conservation or generation

Dulwich Leisure Centre: ditto

Fusion Website booking: not fit for purpose

Veolia: How was a contract awarded to this firm?

Southwark Parking Authority: Is there any chance that the corruption exposed this week in Chelsea operates here?


So having looked at your photo I have to say whether or not this work will be buried it looks like it isn't fit for purpose and certainly shows the worker to have no pride in their product. The edges on the Pyramids are better done.

I am neither but one doesn't have to be a vet to see that a lame dog has something wrong with it's leg

Oh.

Yes it's going to struggle to cope with all those heavy buggies and lardy mummies walking over it on the pavements of Lordship Lane.

Can we have a copy of the full report from Southwark once you've got it OP ?

Just love threads like this 4 the comedy value.

Not really. It's peasant, not peasent.

Ah Ha


My favourite thread to date


Come on pipsky, i've squeezed you 'till you squeaked


Admit defeat. You're a green-ink-nasally-jobsworth-Busy-Body.


And you know it.


Now rub some ointment on your sore nose and sling yer hook.


NETTE:-S


What makes me laugh even more is that I posted the above and edited the error out a whole 7 minutes later. Pipsky must have seen and copied it straight away.


The joy is he sat on it all night, seething, considering his response, and that's all he could come up with.


Ah joy, he's a smaller maggot than i'd given him credit for.

Actually, for the sake of accuracy, it's still there (I've copied it here below). You must have corrected a different one. (I agree with you about the brick work, though.)

The work I mentioned is being done by F.M Conway Ltd. They undertake road and paving work and were the contractor responsible for the uphill stream, another of my blithering idiot threads.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
