Ruskin

Lidl have a transparent tube for AAs.

Virgin promised us a cable package, came round to fit the box and run cables through the house (I even took up some floorboards before they arrived) then when it came for the street team to connect us they then decided they couldn't extend the cable 100m away from our front door. We dropped them like a hot potato and have never regretted going to BT.

Yep, best avoid driving near the Village for the foreseeable: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/emergency-transport-measures-in-dulwich-village-in-response-to-coronavirus/

If they're fruit flies (they're tiny and silent) then put some vinegar in a small dish and watch them perish.

Picture request, please.

And now you can report breachers online. This is for Manchester https://www.gmp.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/c19/tell-us-about-possible-breach-coronavirus-measures

Has anyone read something about droplets from exhaled cigarette and vape smoke?

Some just find spacial awareness a particularly distant concept. I posted a reply the other day in the 'runners in DP' thread after last running through there on Tuesday, making a huge point of avoiding anyone I saw, having to detour to maintain at least 2-3m. It really isn't a problem if your eyes are open. I absolutely get that walkers find a panting human bearing down on them, intimidating - so, from one runner to another - it's exercise, not the Olympics.

I ran through DP yesterday at lunchtime and made a huge effort to avoid people (I'm more often through there early mornings and so uncomfortable among others). It is true that new runners may find it harder to swerve/balance to avoid others though that's not an excuse. But in HH a little later the person who marched straight towards me to almost pass within inches, had I not stepped into the road was especially irritating. Some have rubbish spacial awareness anyway, and will never get it.

9am this morning and an orderly queue was fed into both doors after NHS and the elderly had been in. No stampede and no grabbing inside - just shoppers blocking an aisle hugging and saying hello to old friends.

When our CPZ came into force about 10+ years ago, Lambeth's online procedure used to be horrendous and starting a CPZ account was not something I'd wish to go through again. Nowadays however, I can renew my permit within minutes although the fee has climbed from ?85 to just under ?200 which is now my real complaint.

Pretty sure there were some in Dulwich Park last weekend.

I'd have thought DVLA need to be told asap. Congestion Charge, ULEZ, speeding fines and minor offences etc. etc. would all be traced back to you.

Woohoo! Always like stories ending like this.

That's excellent news! Very pleased you have the medical records. We've kept our young ones' books and they now, 20 years on, reside in their memory boxes - part of their childhood heritage, so delighted that there's also a story behind your child's too. Best not leave it around next time!!

I can't read the charging times if you could tell us, please.

Credit to the person who foresaw the unfolding mugging. We need to be so aware of our surroundings which not always straightforward.

They're currently doorstepping in the Ruskin Park area and after a youth rang the bell and invited himself into our closed porch, I told him to leave our property. Had he not been so young, I'd have challenged him more. Had I not read the OP this morning, I wouldn't have known about them so thanks for the heads-up.

You can register a bike theft here https://www.bikeregister.com/stolen and those details are entered on a national database. If the bike has been marked it may show up on a future sale as has happened many times according to their Twitter. They're a good place to register all your household appliances of value anyway.

I thought I'd wait until seeing it in its finished state so this morning I passed through to admire its creative merit. So, er - when will it be finished 'cos it sure as Hell doesn't look finished. Maybe, as someone else said here, that all that blank space will take graffiti to complete it. A year 6 artist could have made a better effort.
