"How did you go from Golgotha to the Alps in one quick step anyway."


?Peter! Peter! I can see your house from up here.?


I'm not a sophisticated man, I had a different peter in mind. You were thinking Golgotha or the Sermon on the mount, I was figuring teutonic goatherder.

1 KM is 66% of a mile, just as 1 Euro is 66% of a Pound ............ um, well ..... Does this mean that 1 KM is now about 80% of a mile?


2lbs is 1 kilo (nearly) - from old bags of sugar. I still think of baby weights in bags of sugar.


1 litre is nearly 2 pints - from bottles of milk.


Temperature is Celsius, short distance in CM and Metres, long distance in miles (1500 metres = 1 mile-ish)


I just about remember old money, but was 7 when the change over happened and so did both Imperial and Metric.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
