Mr Afro Hi Tillie, Hope you are as wonderful as ever! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Another problem with CPZ is the fact that half if not more of the parking places are allocated to pay and display (Making more money for the council)and still leaving fewer spaces than resident vehicles. As mentioned before visitors add to the councils coffers and some repairs/building work is passed over by workman because of the hassle of the parking restriction and the chance of parking fines.

Another big, definate NO THANK YOU to resident parking. Had to pay for permits when I lived in Grove Lane and it doesn`t make a blind bit of difference.

I called them at 6.45pm this evening and they said they had about 20 copies left, Straight to Sainsburys and back with a copy by 7pm this evening :)) They must have had a delivery at some point today?

I always go through Crystal Palace, you have 3 options with Google maps. I suppose it depends on which area you are most familiar with? http://maps.google.com/maps?q=CR0+4UZ+&sourceid=ie8-activity&hl=en

We also had someone knock on the door this week. The first being a young boy of approx 15 asking if we wanted our hedge cut (roughly 9.45 in the morning) and yesterday a man in his 30`s at lunch time asking if the bits we have stacked in the garden were scrap, He was told to help himself but he didn`t take a thing.

Thanks P.R, I also missed it this year and the pictures are great (tu)

Really pleased to report that the forum has helped out yet again. The Tax Disc I found has been reunited with the rightful owner. I`m really chuffed for them :))

I have handed it back to the post office, Hopefully they may wander back in there to buy another disc and get a nice suprise when they see it stuck up behind the counter!

Did anyone lose their Tax Disc today? It looks like it was probably lost after purchase from the post office. Please PM me if it`s your`s, Thanks!

That was going Sunday afternoon, Got caught in all the traffic going up towards Hornimans!

That really doesn`t suprise me :'( If my Son were to attend sixth form in September he would be based at Westminister Boys, Sorry "Academy" Something he doesn`t want to do. We are probably talking about the same teacher who was not only an excellent Science Teacher but my Son`s Head of year all the way through. Lovely Lady who genuinely cared about her pupils. Like I said, it will be their loss!

Totally agree with you! My Son has just finished at Pimlico and we have also been through the "system" at Peckham Academy with My Daughter. Both of which joined the schools before any change. Where as Peckham Academy may have improved their results, If you look closely at the management structure and in house politics you will find that it still isn`t a school with a tight working relationship within either the Parent/ Teacher or Teaching staff/ Management circles and it is the Indians and not the Chiefs who are keeping it together. My Son was encouraged to attend extra lessons during the 6 weeks holiday at Pimlico and all pupils who attended were given mobile phone tops up cards for attending each week. They were also taken on a free trip to Thorpe park as a "perk" for trying to improve their grades. Morale amongst the original teachers has been very low as "Management" have come in with an agenda, Totally disregarded anything about the School which was a positive and tried to change everything within a short space of time. Pimlico wasn`t the best school in Westminster but it allowed each child to be an individual. Academies turn into business investments and lose sight of the very people they should be helping. Schools are meant to be a place of learning and encouragement not a place where children are encouraged to attended for financial reward. It will be their loss, A very much loved teacher left at the end of last term because of the amount of changes enforced without consultation. You can`t run a school like a business in the same way that you couldn`t run a business like a school. Two totally different worlds and something that will end in tears.

Hi Nero I just came back from walking the dog and it is still taped off :'( Nero Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Are the buses being diverted still? Is LL closed? > Am coming back from work in about an hour.

Thats ok willow, There is another thread on here some where about Jed and his owner, nice to know that people care (tu)

They are very well known in the area and have lot`s of people looking out for both of them, He loves the dog to pieces and although they are both a bit slow getting around, the dog is a little faster than him! He is very stubborn but taking the dog out keeps him going even though the dog does get home before him at times.

It was Gordon Brown on his way to the funeral of Jack Jones the old trade union leader.

A guy goes to the Local Council to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him, 'Are you allergic to anything?' He answers 'Yes - caffeine' 'Have you ever been in the services?' 'Yes,' he says. 'I was in service for two years.' The interviewer says, 'That will give you 5 extra points toward employment,' and then asks, 'Are you disabled in any way? The guy says, 'Yes ...a bomb exploded near me and blew my testicles off.' The interviewer tells the guy, 'O.K. In that case, I can hire you right now. Normal hours are from 8 AM to 2 PM. You can start tomorrow at 10:00 - and plan on starting at 10 AM every day.' The guy is puzzled and says, 'If the hours are from 8 AM to 2 PM, why don't you want me to be here before 10 AM?' ' 'This is a council job,' the interviewer says. 'For the first two hours we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our b*llocks, not really any point in you coming in for that.'
