What is the name of the fungus? Just because some trees are removed nearby what evidence is there that says other trees now won't be able to withstand new wind loading? If the un-named fungus is so deadly and rife, one would presume that all remnants of the trees have been removed and not left to decay on the ground?

Haha

Issues were hardly aired! That behaviour glorified and relished in detail I'd say.

Too much. - - - - - - - - Did you see yesterdays headlines - 1 in 3 women worldwide have been subject to sexual violence/violence? Keep enjoying the programme because it's "make believe", and it definately won't influence any potential nutters, nor condone, reinforce or normalise such behaviours . .

I'd ban bbqs-this is England,not Oz, plus don't want my house stinking of your bbq, or my washing that I hang out 'cos you watch crap tv. Southwark is a smoke free zone re burning refuse so is illegal.

Give the place a chance

Common technique amongst theiving scum. Sometimes there are two of them. Do not use phones on the street.

You can't burn stuff. Call the council.

I see the Met police are now going to investigate this. Too little too late? Should we also be paying for this, shouldn't the Portugese?

I don't go there anymore! Did you share your views on the mobile car cleaning business i wonder?

How very dare you, HMB! So suggestive.
