I still don't understand why there can't be occasional raised sections on Barry road. It seems by adding a small raised section of the side road (where people are already coming to a halt)is not the issue.. Its the cars on barry road that also need to be visible. Either by slowing them or clearing line sights. i find it amazing southwark are avoiding an opportunity to put traffic calming masures on a busy road. Its not like they are usually shy of fannying about with anything and everything...

That would involve leaving them in the house all day.... or do ED dogs have no need for walkies?

Having seen the recent burglary post about Dunstans Rd and having spoken to the police detective on her follow up, it would appear there is a team at work who have a very simple but effective routine. Afternoons from 3-5pm. The majority of people are at work or doing the school run. They go in via the front door and pick / force weak locks. They take portable, small high value goods (electrical, jewellery etc). Its quick, clean and discrete. There are 3 really simple ways to protect yourselves & hopefully push them to a new area: 1. Always lock the front door with a chubb style 5 lever lock AND a regular yale. 2. Fit an alarm. At worst, fit an alarm casing to make it appear like you have an alarm. 3. Try to vary your routine as much as possible. TJ

Agreed.

I would agree that using locks and security is no.1 priority. We didn't, we got screwed over. You can't stop a burglar, but you can slow them down. To place basic ground floor window bars (non obtrusive and aesthetically ok) including installation from SDS clapham cost me ?180... According to the insurance company, less than 3% of burglaries are in houses with alarms. Draw your own conclusions.

Would anyone who was on Hillcourt Rd between 3.30 and 5pm on Friday pls PM me if they saw anyone acting suspiciously. There are reports of 2 men working or at least pretending to work on a fence halfway along the street. I would like to find out who they were. Also, anyone who was seen wandering around with a 32" Panasonic TV or loading one into a vehicle would be of interest. TJ

This is superb news! I had no idea there were 24hr offies in the neighbourhood! I feel a late night session and stumble is now on the cards.

what i find odd, is that i checked that crime data base the police just launched and none of the 3 thefts I reported or any of the 20 or so thefts that forumites emailed me about were listed. They clearly do not even register them as crimes or thefts. I think it is simply ignored.

The removal of automatic 'permitted development' approval is no great deal and stops unscrupulous developers. You simply apply for full planning permission so the council take longer and look at the proposals in more detail at a cost of ?75 and hopefully (if your architect did his/her job properly) bang goes the rubber stamp. Probably for the best in the long term.

what a wanker

It will be something insane like he didn't have the right change or an oyster and was asked to get off by the driver.

Re: Various items for sale - 2x buggy, stair gate & nappy bag all as new. From: TJ To: delight (Unread) Date: 11/01/2011 10:52 Dear Delight, I have looked through your postings and I can see you are buying cheap off the forum and selling on at a profit. I am afraid I take issue with this - not the practice, but that you were not upfront with me. I am no longer willing to sell anything to you.

Chicken Pox?? I will send the whole email chain. I did not advise this. Ever. This is complete fabrication.

I am making this public as Delight has either been removed from the forum or has removed herself (when i tried to PM her, the user came up REMOVED FROM FORUM). From reading her posts she also has at least 2 daughters already so i would assume has a buggy. She also tries to buy astonishing amounts of reduce price / free goods on the forum and also sells on.. Nothing wrong with this at all. As you are now acting on her behalf, until I get some kind of answer from Admin on 'Delight', I will keep making this public.

Dear Chocolate, where has your friend 'Delight' gone? It seems she has either wiped her profile or has been removed by ADMIN? Just curious?

I accept I may be wrong as per your PM which states: Hi, my English is fine, just to remind you of the > message you sent me which was "I advised her that > if she had been upfront about her reselling > activities it may have been different, but I > cannot accept her dishonesty. > I see you are also involved int he same, so no, I > will not be selling it to you.

To add then, 'Delight' and her mate 'Chocolate' are both reselling. Those who have issues with the practice can make their own call. Yourmamma - reselling is in essence a business which is profitable and without recourse. As such, I believe people should be honest about their affairs in the same way they are forced to on ebay. That is all I am suggesting.

if you own an iphone 4 make sure you switch on the 'find my iphone' feature so you can disable it if they pinch it. http://www.apple.com/iphone/find-my-iphone-setup/

for 3 years I used to park my bike on the pavement to stop people nicking petrol, but then I got a ticket a day while i was on holiday. I parked back on the road, petrol got nicked regularly. Got rid of the bike. Fuck them all

The p4 goes nowhere near Barry Rd! Upland rd = south circular / Horniman museum! The only bus is to walk over the hill to Forest hill tavern. Its been something i tried to get a 63 or 363 extension tio resolve without any success at all.

-- moved topic --

I am trying to sell some bit on the forum. Just used kids stuff i would like to give to local families in need of good, safe equipment we no longer need. I have been approached by a 'user' who clearly (from her postings) is only using the forum to buy things on the cheap and then reselling. Is this kind of activity we want to condone on the forum, or should this be called out to other users / admin? Case closed until evidence is produced - The Administrator

Business does indeed pay wages, taxes, fund development and investment. It also funds salaries and therefore the purchasing of frippery, tat, as well as medecine & food. Lets stop banging on about business being the big bad ogre when it really is the foundation on which all our petty little lives are built. huncamunca Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Sue Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > James Barber Wrote: > > > -------------------------------------------------- > > > ----- > > > Tonight 7pm at Southwark Town Hall (junction > of > > > Peckham Road with Vestry Road) the Licensing > > > Committee will decide whether to increase the > > > number of pitches, add Sunday 8am-4pm with > > 7am-8am > > > set-up, and closing Northcross Road between > > > Archdale Road and Lacon Road every Saturday > and > > > Sunday. > > > > xxxxxxx > > > > Why have residents in affected roads not been > > consulted about the closing of the road? > > > > That's disgraceful. > > Surely you must have realised that business is > King in ED ? > > Time and time again, the needs of the residents > have been placed second to the needs of rapacious > business - local or otherwise > > You want a vibrant LL, full of tat shops and > vendors of bourgeois frippery, then you need to > accept it will impact on the quality of your > lives. > > I'm sure NCR market is rather lovely if thats your > thing - I have drifted past it on many occasions, > though have yet to actually buy anything from the > stalls. > > Maybe not so noce if you have a 7AM wakeup on > Sunday mornings & find you are unable to get out > of your street until the evening. > > Still, you cant make a delicious free range , > organic, local farmer produced omlette withour > breaking some eggs can you? > > thats progress.
