HN, can you clarify please. I can understand news media always emphasising items that have just 'broken': they seem to think it's their prime duty to be really really up-to-date and first with the news. So I'd expect it to appear on the tickertape thing at the bottom of a TV ppicture (as a pretty routine and expected piece of news, but very topical and with much public interest). But are you saying you got something labelled as an alert, maybe as a text on your phone?

Yes that's what happened - a BBC breaking news alert on my phone.


Turns out there was a Met misconduct hearing after he was charged and confessed, in which they decided to sack him. It was all over the news that day. Seemed strange to to report it as breaking news when there surely could not have been any other conceivable outcome.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
