Hi a window in my flat has been painted shut. Can anyone recommend someone to come and unstick it please? Thanks. Lindsay (07753316373)

I've used Steve before btw and he's excellent

Yes,I presumed so , but having been unable to find one ,I thought I'd ask on here. It may be because I need to.virw the map on something other than my phone .

Sorry to hear that, New Wave. I hope you find something soon. I genuinely had this situation in Superdrug on the south coast yesterday. I was buying their own version of E45 cream (it's about a third of the cost) and they asked if I had my Superdrug card with me. I didn't. Who does? But they were able to apply the appropriate discount to my purchase due to them having my mobile phone number and email on record. You can fill in any old bollocks for the loyalty card. I found it quite funny when they asked me to confirm that I was Dr. Dave Dave, of Dave Road, Dave, London, SE15 5DV. I'm actually not a real doctor!

With gym memberships, it depends how often you go and how much you get out of it. If you go 3 times a week or lose 10kg in a year, that's a bargain. If you never go, it's incredibly expensive. There are people who will happily spend £50 2-3 times a week at the pub or on takeaway food or coffees over the course of a week or leasing a car. Whether it's worth it is up to you. 🤷‍♂️

Hi there, I am looking for a similar set up and wondering if you found anyone you would recommend? Many thanks, Helena

Also, if you keep receipts but don't have a card, they will give you the discounts you would have had. Probably a good idea to take the receipts in at a quiet time, though 🤣

I find it interesting that even the usual council cheer leader suspects are finding it difficult to leap to their defence this time.

I would reserve judgement on the role of the 'survey' until much better information emerges. Experimental RTOs have been around since at least the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, and have some virtues, such as being more easily modified (or withdrawn?) in the light of results and the feedback provided. You have six months from the order's inception to have your says about whether and why it should not be made permanent. People might think it useful to get some baseline statistics before it actually comes into operation. You could start by asking Highways what sample traffic data is already available for the relevant roads over, say, the last five years. Then, for the most efficient data grabbing, maybe try sticking a camera in the window and recording video -- save the data collating till later, and make sure it's all clearly dated. Bear in mind that some cameras may limit single file size. No need to use the highest resolution, so long as vehicles are easily countable. Here's an example of how Lambeth provided the statutorily specified necessary information about an ETRO of theirs: https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2025-11/171-VPG-SOR.pdf and a snippet from a recent Commons Library briefing paper https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN06013/SN06013.pdf : "There are separate rules for experimental orders, as set out in Regulations 22 and 23 of the 1996 Regulations. "These regulations set out that the requirements on the publication of proposals and objections (which apply to permanent orders) do not apply to an experimental order. No provision of an experimental order shall come into force before the expiration of the period of seven days beginning with the day on which a notice of making in relation to the order is published. "Councils may wish to make an experimental order as a precursor to a permanent order, as this process allows councils to bypass the requirements on consultation, notice of proposals and objections, providing other requirements have been met (see Regulation 23). This can be a more cost effective and flexible approach (allowing, for example, for immediate feedback and minor changes) than a permanent order or a temporary order (which cannot be converted into a permanent order – see below)."

never mind the poor souls on dunstans road this is pathetic those against should protest on the day

And if any of those impacted by this do want to flag with the media Issy Clarke at Southwark News is the one who deals with such stories and I am sure would love to hear from someone. [email protected]

Hi, my name is Tom Breare and I've been working as an A-level chemistry teacher in a central London school for the past two years, gaining my QTS. I have a Master's in Chemistry with Honours from the University of Nottingham and have been tutoring for over five years. The average grade of my class was 46% when I started teaching them, after three months this increased to 68% and many are now on track to get an A or above in their final exams. With the sales pitch out of the way, I am a friendly and supportive teacher who takes the time to help students in whatever way they need. It is because of this that my students make such quick progress; often, they don't lack knowledge but lack the confidence to use it. I help students to gain a really firm understanding of the mechanics of chemistry so that daunting topics like acids and bases will make them smile with relief rather than cringe. Through my experience teaching and tutoring, I have a deep understanding of mark schemes for AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards. I ensure that students gain this knowledge too, to ensure they access the top marks. We will focus on question types too, such as practical questions, to complete their mastery of the subject. My approach has worked for many students and allowed them to excel and even enjoy chemistry. It is a fascinating subject and I am looking forward to exploring it with any prospective students. The first session is half-price. I offer in person for south London addresses and online tuition. Please feel free to contact with any questions at [email protected] or WhatsApp +44 7742 464129
