I like them :-)

I see this as the EDAG trying to do something positive and people now trying to tear it down. Maybe those being critical could explain what they plan to do for the benefit of the local community? It?s not the critic who counts etc etc

It would be good to hear about the projects all of the naysayers on this thread have lined up as alternatives to those currently being planned by this group.

I know that this particular bike had a deep buried tracker fitted so it would have been pretty straight forward for the owner to talk the police onto its location after it was taken I?d have thought? The owner said that it?s covered by CCTV which the police are now in possession of, not sure it?ll help but worth a go.

Scum. > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4L6qRRwaFI I?m not sure that method would have worked in this case as this was not a moped this was an 800cc motorbike so I?ve no idea how they?d have got away with it. I assume they?d have broken the steering lock and wheeled it away?

Unfortunately not, they just chased them off. Apparently the police (unless specifically trained) are not allowed to chase people on mopeds/motorbikes regardless of whether they?re wearing a helmet or not. Unsurprising that this particular crime is so prevelant when there?s very little risk to the offender.

Last night 3 x people on 2 x mopeds attempted to steel a motorbike on CPR (near junction with Silvester) using a battery powered grinder to cut through multiple locks. The police arrived just as the last of the locks were defeated so the bike was saved. Multiple locks and a quick police response is the only hope of saving your motorbike.

As ever, if you think it's too expensive, don't go. If everyone thinks the same, it'll fail. If they don't, it won't. Maybe give them a chance, at least they're trying to be productive / positive, unlike the usual moaners on this forum! So predictable

Thanks Jackie, Much appreciated...

Hi, Does anyone have a link to the planning application or know where I can find out some more info for this project on the junction of Crystal Palace and Silvester Roads? Just being nosey.. Thanks...

As long as you're willing to return the flat to its original condition (in accordance with the inventory) I can't see any landlord having an issue with this?

We went to 325 Cafe on Sat too.... Good food (with real HP sauce!!) and very reasonable. Apparently, they don't generally open on a Sunday, however, we booked for 11 people in a couple of weeks time and they're opening up so I guess they will open up if it's worth their while...

Thanks Yes tried it the other day, food was good as were the cocktails. Only problem was, it was very cold inside the restaurant. Admittedly it was a very cold evening however, I wouldn't expect to have to wear a coat while eating. Hopefully they'll address this before winter really sets in...

Belgrade in Serbia, probably not a first choice for many but that's what makes it a great place to visit. It has a very chilled out cafe culture vibe.... I went with work and then took my wife who loved it...

I had a minor operation earlier this week which was carried out at Kings College Hospital. The follow up was to have a dressing changed daily. I was offered an appointment for 25 Nov to change a dressing (yes a month later)! Now going to Peckham (Lister) to have this done. What's the point of having a medical centre with zero capacity? If the numbers stated earlier (60,000) are correct it's clear why this place is not fit for purpose...

A Starbucks would be more use to me than a bank.... I like their coffee and their toasted cheese and ham sandwiches, lovely

Try "Planters Club" on Zelinkagasse. It's away from all the usual tourist haunts and is a very cool bar with awesome cocktails...

I agree, joining the military and deploying operationally does not a hero make, it's your job... It's just a word over used by the media to suit their own purposes. Unfortunately, this has actually diminished the words impact when used in its correct context...

You know this. An issue to be discussed with politicians, not soldiers, you must know that bejam

How about Sun 13 Nov around 11ish, somewhere around Whitehall?
