Musical ones, specifically. I recently reacquainted myself with Springsteens 'Born To Run' album, on the basis that he must have just lost his way and there was some spark of genius, or something, there once.


No. Pish, and always has been.


Van Morrison falls into the same category. Mediocre songs sung in a mediocre voice. And being grumpy does not equate with being soulful.


And that Jim Morrison, he's another one...

I'm Down , Helter Skelter , Tomorrow Never Knows



there you go Keef , theres 3 to be getting on with . :))

The music I grew to hate (along with my younger brothers) was often dictated by which one of my parents was in the driving seat on our yearly holiday on the continent.


Dad would make an enormous public fuss concerning my mothers competence on the european highway and suggested that he should take the wheel when faced with the challenging alpine roads. Incidentally, my dad has acrued 9 penalty point where as mums license is clean.


So, on long non-stop journey's from London to Austria or Italy my father would bore the teeth from our gums by playing his Simply Red or Genesis collection.


Mum would brighten up the journey by playing these amongst others while my dad sulked. We sang along.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
