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.

    • We have had Tony and team do a number of repairs and decorative work over the past year in our Victorian terrace in Peckham. Most recently, they painted the majority of our house while we were on holiday, where they spent 12 hour days over two weeks working non stop to complete plastering, walls & ceilings, and woodwork paint on custom joinery. Tony communicated throughout but kept the end result a surprise. We returned to the most beautiful house decor, with the whole place spotless too. I would have no hesitation in recommending TDR, the work is always to an extremely high standard, well priced and I always trust Tony and his work. We will use TDR again for further work in our house. 
    • It's quite normal with chain shops that have a large real estate portfolio who are in the proverbial. When the writing is on the wall they know exactly how much they can afford to pay to keep a site open and the landlord then has a choice:  accept the lower rent or find a new tenant. Finding a new tenant sometimes means not getting any rent from an insolvent company, paying to clear their stuff out and giving the new tenant a rent free period to fit out their shop and establish themselves. It can be expensive for the landlord to refuse a rent reduction. I think this landlord has probably landed on their feet here though, getting Tesco interested. 
    • When I used to go to the one in Woodwarde road I found them expensive but not exceptional- They kept suggesting I have an acid treatment on my toenails which have a tendancy to become ingrown-I think it was many hundreds of pounds (about £400 5 or so years ago) when I found my current Podiatrist (who teaches at The Royal college of Podiatrists) he told me that A: that treatment was'nt foolproof and the nail could grow back and B: that he really did'nt reccomend it in my case. I also did'nt like how the charges at Woodwarde rd just kept getting higher and varied depending on whom was treating me.
