as a side note and slightly off topic but the OP did say "There are many more safe and cost effective methods to deal with unwanted plants! ...can people please post the alternatives for pesticides? ive been using vinegar / salt / lemon juice depending on the area (salt not on the lawn obviously) but would love to know some other effective alternatives.

Wow some serious Trolling going on here I just hope the poor relatives/friends of the teenager don't read this. Thin line between speculation and libel.

My friend asked each guest to tell them a song they would get up to dance to and put it on a playlist.

Its 4.99 a movie and they sell beer. I like that its rubbish.

HOP is zone 3. I do that commute and just get a HOP - London terminals monthly card for ?87.20 then use oyster for any other journeys past that. Much cheaper than 1-3 travelcard at 136.80 a month.

another recommendation for Andy (OBO my partner who has tennis elbow)

Its more likely to be a council employed tree officer (or even a member of the public reporting dangerous tree to the council) that determines the work to be done. Then the work is sent to the contractors to complete as instructed. My partner does council trees for a different borough and that is how it works their, they just follow instructions.

I was walking down Rye Lane on Saturday 17th Nov and there were protesters trying to stop people going into 2 of the shops near the station (think one of them was called Ash). They didn't actually explain why people should boycott this stores. Any ideas what their gripe was about?

Yes Gidget they should but they don't and tenants are replying. I just wondered if there was a way I could find out without physically checking the line. Thanks for your suggestions though, will try them.

I am trying to sign up to Sky for TV and broadband in my new flat. They need to know the current landline number in this property to confirm my order. The previous tenants have not yet moved out and are not replying to the letting agent to tell them the number. Sky have told me to wait until I move in, buy a landline phone and dial a number to find out what it is. This is very unhelpful as there is already a 3 week wait for internet installation and I do not intend on buying/using a landline telephone. Any one got an idea how I get around this quickly? Thanks

Hi, I was just about to send you an email about the recent attacks/muggings around ED station and in Sainsburys carpark when I saw this thread. In response to the recent reports (and a few weeks ago I was followed home), myself and my other female housemates are too scared to walk alone after dark, even in early evening. I wondered what is being done to increase safety in the area, I rarely see any police on the beat and there is no information on the local police and council websites. Other local councils and police have reportedly given out personal alarms to locals, I think this would be a good idea for ED. Thank you
