    "You can call it a contradiction if you like. I call it voting against my own self-interest because I felt more strongly about other issues than just the ease with which I can move around Europe, including the ease with which I am able to live here legally. As I've said in an earlier post, I don't want to reduce immigration per se, I just would like to see it controlled and measured, which (theoretically) can allow for better planning of schools, hospitals, roads and other public infrastructure." All of which is currently available (if not applied by the UK Govt) under our EU membership.
  2. I am sure > it's against the law to not wear a crash helmet now. No, it's not.
  3. Her picture and comments is still on her twitter page. Her association with Muscular Dystrophy UK is no longer there as they quite rightly no longer want to be associated with her red neck views. ‏
  4. It's a balmy 24.7 today. It was a bit like swimming in soup last night. Their twitter page does daily temperature updates:

Then there's even less reason to give the HM the award! It's not London's best pub and frankly isn't even the best in the area... I did see One Armed Keith at the bus stop by the old post office last week...
  6. Yes, the substation could have been built elsewhere if NR had done the assessment of the capacity needs of the new shops earlier. There's other land available (owned by NR) but that requires them to do more landscaping works etc. Veg and Bakers are now paying approx x3 the rent of their old shops. The butchers closed as they were offered the option of a triple rent increase, the furniture shop had to take a more expensive unit down the road, and trades on the sunday market
  7. Whirled is in Loughborough Junction (and has been there for years!) highly recommended...
  8. And the same could be said about many people and many different faiths, so what's your point? Are you supporting British First's Penge Poundland fascist?
  9. If it's a traffic offense, then regularly reporting the coaches to the Met via https://www.met.police.uk/roadsafelondon/

  11. Or more likely they both use a press service to source a lot of their content?
  12. Joe, I think you'll find that the street dealers are still there; just that technology has hidden then a little!
  13. Coincidentally popped in for a pint yesterday afternoon (limited beer choices). It was relatively busy, but fewer people eating than I was anticipating. Not going to be racing back, but it's good to know its there and not permanently lost to residential/retail.
  14. I've been in Newcastle for the great north run. Saw someone in a long sleeved t-shirt.
  15. Been reading the Andy McNab novels again?
  16. America's Director of Communications latest tweet: "I made a mistake in trusting in a reporter. It won't happen again." after ringing up New Yorker magazine and talking to a journalist.
  17. It's slightly worrying that you took on a significant investment and responsibility without having any understanding of UK property and tenancy laws.

The old - no longer fit for purpose school, with a playground on the roof was replaced with a purpose built (and award winning) building next door. It also moved to be in an early years provider - changing the age range of children it supports.

You didn't read to the end of your link though did you?
  20. Your bank account gets flagged if you transfer smallish sums nowadays (the threshold is ?5k from memory) as a money laundering check... hence the rise of bitcoin etc.
  21. "Stirrers" you are really scraping the bottom of a very deep barrel.
  22. Doesn't funding for this come from a different source (ie. not LB Southwark ) but from a devolved budget from Transport for London? So if you want to lobby for local pavements, carry on doing so, but additional cycle storage isn't going to be in competition to that.
  23. You are Alf Garnett aicmfp
  24. Its a dotted line - that doesn't make it a dedicated lane, as vehicles are allowed to cross it. Its about 3 foot wide, and as your photos shows, is often full of tourists, pedestrians, glass shards and other rubbish. The cyclist is perfectly entitled to be riding where they are. (but this is a massive digression from dogs & parks, so should probably be lounged)
