Refreshingly correct use of "an".

I saw waitrose being blown from its putative site in ED all the way to Peckham.

Is this a storm in a teacup. Just saw a BBC newsman in Cardiff interviewed in a Berghaus jacket, looked like his hair was dry and unmoving but someone had brushed his jacket with warm olive oil to give it a wet glazed effect. Nothing happening, go to bed, no storm coming.


M Fish.

couple of small trees/bushes on east Dulwich Grove out on street and lots of branches have been torn down.


Couldn't use one of the walkways at elephant and Castle as a whole tree had fallen and blocked it off


So looks like we missed the worst of it - but it wasn't nothing

I have to disagree here. An horrific would only be correct if you were pronouncing it 'orrific (not sounding the 'h') which you well maybe be - so don't drop your h's please. If you are pronouncing the 'h' it should be a horrific.

Thank you. As you were.

    • 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.
