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.)

Ask maxxi. We fell out, then in and we're now married with children.

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.

    • Adding my recommendation for Niko too. Found his number on here and he came out at short notice on a busy weeknight to help us with a kitchen sink issue that had flooded our kitchen that day. Really helpful, responsive and went out of his way to fit us in and help us out. Very reasonably priced too - would thoroughly recommend!
    • Looks like it! Though according to the OP, they are "golden, hand-crimped parcels  packed with flavour" 😀 I don't understand. Admittedly my brain is functioning at a very low level at the moment. Does that mean various local shops get together and agree to offer a discount to anyone who shows them a receipt from one of the other ones dated the same day? I can't see what's in it for either of them, unless people shop somewhere they wouldn't otherwise have done just to get the discount. Is it for vaguely  linked things, say cheese from a cheese shop, wine from another shop? Showing my age there.  And then suppose it's always the same shop which people go to second to get the discount? What's in it for the first shop? People go there in order to get the discount in the second shop?
    • Local (especially independent) businesses should do like Wheelers Oyster Bar in Whitstable and offer a discount to anyone who can show them a receipt from Chacarero dated the same day.
    • Aria was great, he managed to come the same day after what had turned out to be a pretty long day at work and fix a really bad blocked pipe that needed to be resolved as soon as practicable. He’s lovely, professional and really helpful. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable plumber in the area. Thanks Aria!
