@DKH, Kindly don't re-work my words and then present them within quotation marks just to fit your argument.

The right to strike is fine but intimidating fellow workers by forming a picket line to harass fellow workers who want to work is abhorrent. Any form of harassment should be condemned. And any attempt to re-inforce the picket with 3rd parties should be deeply condemned.

Yes, the OP is trying to reinforce picket lines with added numbers from outside the teaching staff. This is simply multiplying the intimidation that picket lines exhibit. Stopping other teachers going to work through intimidation is a primitive and unacceptable practice. We live in a free society and there is simply no justification for intimidation for someone who wants to enter their workplace. Picketing by teachers outside schools is a shameful practice and one would think that the teachers organising this should be condemned unreservedly. Our kids education should be their prime consideration. If they don't like the teacher's salary then they should get a job elsewhere. There's plenty other jobs going at present. I can tell you first-first hand as I have a nephew who is a teacher, He has set up his own business, on the side, working out of rented premises where he offers courses and products. He has a very nice little earner there, which is also on-line, because he is innovative and willing to work hard. By comparison the picket lines , in my view, are populated by those who are only willing to sit back, take the salary and whinge.

I find picket lines lines highly offensive because they are designed to intimidate workers who want to get to work and get paid. Picketing is a relic going back to a more primitive era . Today's social media is a better way of getting one's views across. In terms of progress, just think if the Tolpuddle Martyrs has been able to maintain the status quo.

Two weeks ago they resurfaced EDG between Townley Rd and the Village. Two days ago Thames Water dug it up to fix a leak. This is on the section outside JAGs where the crest of the hill is and where the mains water pipe has suffered repeated failures for several decades whenever there is a particularly dry summer or wet winter. Movement in the underlying clay soil means the rigid the 100 year old cast iron pipes get stress and fracture. Why does the Council not pressurise TW water to replace that section with the more flexible polythene pipes that can withstand flexing? It's a continual process of --- dig, temp fix, reseal then repeat, and repeat, ad infinitum. Meanwhile traffic is all backed up yet again on what has become an even busier road since the brought in LTNs!

I recommend you visit UK Business Forum. It's for small businesses and a place where people float their ideas and get answers to questions. I have benefitted form it greatly in the past and visit it weekly to get fresh ideas and gain from other peoples experiences. https://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/ Good luck.

Enjoy; jays are nice and colourful and not that common in London.

In terms of thermal output per unit of cost, gas is far better value.

"handmade natural skin care products" is a challenging business sector because it is highly competitive with participants doing it as a hobby on the side of a day job. The vast majority will never turn a profit as they can never achieve economies of scale to enable them to purchase ingredients and packaging economically. Please thoroughly research the market in google, eBay , Etsy etc before investing any money.

I have found this very useful.. https://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/ No one is going to provide a template to enable you to create a business but they will answer your questions if you have a basic plan and strategy. You should have a business plan covering such matters as:- Sourcing input products Pricing of inputs Packaging Retail distribution Unique selling factors Competition Cost of premises/overheads Selling price and margin Advertising When you have a plan then raise a question on UKBF Good luck, but be aware, retail is not easy

Agree with Redpost, Forget Argos, Currys etc and go for HP or Dell. With them you get good prices and much better support. Suggest you go for a small desktop, rather than r an all-in-one. All in ones tend to have wireless mice and keyboards that need batteries.

My advice is not to go anywhere near an insurer. They will put a blck mark on your property and your premiums will go up plus it will make you house more difficult to sell later. Best to get it fixed yourself and do not involve the insurer. Take the small hit now to save yourself a bigger financial problem in future.

As a general rule, if your dog doesn't wag its tail when the dog-walker calls round then be very concerned, Is its ears down and is its tail between its legs? All dogs get excited about going out for a walk. They wag their tails and show enthusiasm. Also, if the dog walker doesnt greet the dog with a hug and a warm welcome, when collecting the dog then be Very suspicious. Dogs are social animals and they know about human behaviour. So if they don't like the dog-walker then it becomes immediately obvious. Have a look at these

@Malumbu, 10 years!! That's would be the steam age. Recommend you treat yourself to some new kit and enjoy the ride.

They must have been the one's who advised Liz Truss on economic policy.

There's a U3A Dulwich group

The more unique features you can think of the better like did it have any odd replacement/accessory items under the bonnet. Like what was the brand of battery? Were there any small dings in the body work? Brand of tyres? Petrol or diesel? The more distinctive features the better.

The bunny will be long gone so it would help if you could post both the photos of your vehicle in a larger format then we can all look out for it on the internet. It's the detail that counts as they can change to colour overnight. I understand about TFL but the police have access to all ANPR CCTV road cameras if they real;;y want to properly investigate a crime. I would chase them relentlessly.

I really do feel for you as a decent Series 1 is a valuable vintage vehicle. But taking control over many of these old vehicles is ridiculously easy. They would have know what they were doing and would have bypassed the lock on the hand brake lever by tackling the linkage from either above or below. One option is to take am angle grinder and cut the rod in the linage. Alternatively, simply remove one split pin holding the clevis pin in the linkage, You appear to have had a front mounted towing ball on the front. This is quite a distinctive and unique feature and should give you a better than average chance of finding it. Have you got any other odd features?

I send out several 2nd class items every day which are second class tracked. They are getting delivery quickly. Some even arrive next day, which is amazing. RM are prioritising tracked items as the sender can claim compensation in some cases after 10 working days. Things like Christmas cards have no priority whatsoever so are taking 3 to 4 weeks to get delivered. Plus a lot depends on the local delivery office. The Peckham D.O. is a disaster area. If it's important, send it tracked

Wide road allows changeover without blocking other traffic?

Will the "sunlit uplands" be where the 'green shoots' will be be found. Might it be just a 'faint glimmer of hope' or will it become 'the promised land'? Do any other phrases of expectation spring to mind?

There' lots of forums out there that cover this subject. If you have the time, research the forums and other people's experiences . Sift out the obvious garbage and develop a strategy. The internet is your friend.

I also have strong reservations about the NextDoor app. They seem very keen to get you to use your Google, Facebook and other logins to register Best avoided, I reckon.

Where can one buy decent panettone in ED?
