In the good old days beyong the normal festive stuff (booze, reheated Turkey, family and telly) there was only one thing that you did on Boxing day - go to a local sporting event (normally football).


Now what does half the nation do - they go to Westfield.


So with no trains and limited tube West London is grid locked. Buses are no alternative as they are stuck in the traffic, worsened as those heading to and from Westfields are blocking junctions. [whinging about the tube strike is on another thread]


So before I write to Boris (no trains on Boxing Day)

DfT (ditto)

LB Hammersmith and Fulham (for allowing the nonsense that is Westfield on a Boxing day)

And the PM - for zero joined up thinking; it would be good to hear from others.


Was Westfield Stratford as bad? Bayswater? Croydon/Bromley/Lewisham??


To look on the bright side Arry will hopefully be stuck in the traffic on his way back to Sandbanks.

      I don't know if this is the right section to put this, but if you see anybody sleeping rough in this freezing cold, you can alert an organisation who will help via this link https://thestreetlink.org.uk/ Shelters have been set up in London for them. This is from an email I got today: London has been facing dangerously cold temperatures. For those sleeping rough, this weather can be life-threatening. London’s Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) has been activated throughout this week to ensure warm, safe emergency accommodation has been available for those who need it. StreetLink connects people sleeping rough with local outreach teams who assess their needs and offer support services. By making a report, you could save someone’s life.

      Looks like the flats were built on the same footprint.

      Gas Safe Engineer Rob Mills

      By sianparker79 · Posted

      I'm going to add a fourth recommend for Rob Mills. A while back he did my boiler check and was so much more thorough than the previous boiler engineers I'd used, also taking the time to explain everything he was doing and why, which was extremely reassuring. Then this last weekend, when it was freezing cold,  my boiler stopped working early on Saturday morning and was throwing out error messages that I couldn't resolve. He walked me through various steps to try via text message and resolved the issue for me with no charge. I was incredibly grateful and honestly, highly recommend him.
