https://www.facebook.com/labourparty/posts/when-your-family-and-friends-ask-you-what-labour-has-achieved-so-far-send-them-t/1090481149116565/ Do you mean going from rhyming with Message to rhyming with Massage? Or was it really a hard g to start with, rhyming, say, with Farague/Faraig or Fararg?

What makes you think false plates? The photo on the above link https://x.com/DulwichRoads/status/1858796233034182959?s=19 shows the number clearly, MV70CGU, which DVLA has as a taxed and mot'd 2020 1995cc black electric/diesel BMW. Does that tally? How is the scam you mention worked?

The photograph seems to be of a notice (as prescribed by regs) advertising the application. The full application details can be seen at https://app.southwark.gov.uk/premises/applied/884253, which confirms gebbjane's post.

SNTs don't, as you seem to imply, consist of just PCSOs. This one comprises a sergeant, two PCs and a PCSO: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/351681-dulwich-hill-newsletter-september-2024/#comment-1681337 or https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/met/southwark/dulwich-hill/on-the-team/crime-map. i've been to another SNT's meetings, and looked at the Met details of some others, and that complement looks fairly typical. I've not been to one of these Cuppa things so can't speak of them.

> understand that you cannot process Lloyds Bank cheques through LLane. You can according to the Services Available -- Cheque deposits page got to via https://www.postoffice.co.uk/branch-finder/0100072/east-dulwich The lookup details there for Lloyds says: "Cheque deposit Yes – with a personalised paying in slip and a deposit envelope from Lloyds Bank "Lloyds Bank cheque deposit envelopes are also available from Post Office branches"

In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online. There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker. More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.

Is it purely a post office?

According to https://www.compass-pools.co.uk/learning-centre/news/the-complete-guide-to-swimming-pool-maintenance/: ... "Your weekly tasks should include: ... Checking the pH levels and adjusting the water balance ... The ideal pH rating of swimming pool water is between 7.0 and 7.6. Anything lower than 7.0 and metals and pool finishes can start to corrode, while anything above 7.8 and there can be issues with scaling due to calcium salts in the water and chlorine becoming ineffective." And for comparison of different pH values, see for example the examples chart at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z38bbqt#zb2kkty There are several other sites that can easily be found that say something about variation and correction of pool pH levels.

Can you clarify please. Did you attach a photograph to your post? On what date, and at what time, both in Lordship Lane, and inside Sainsburys (presumably the DKH one?), did you see them? What was their intent in Sainsburys?

The phone number seems to be that used by several London boroughs for PayByPhone contact( though, probably incidentally, different from the one give for phone bookings on the company's own website). They also say, at https://support.paybyphone.com/hc/en-001/articles/11574881494545-Is-PayByPhone-free: "PayByPhoneParking rates are set by the parking operator and should match the cost of paying at a traditional meter. However, some locations may add a small service fee, typically less than $0.50 (USD) or £0.35 (GBP), which is determined by the parking authority." There's nothing on the signage pictured to imply that the motorist is contracting with the council to pay any service fee for a stay up to 30 minutes. I suggest someone asks a councillor, to check what Southwark have to say and report back.

Gosh, a mere 61 years since "It's my party". I didn't know at the time that it was QJ's first production. I remember it like last week and probably have him to thank, for beating Spector to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_My_Party

The optimal solution might be for neighbours to co-operate, by each doing part clearance, and sharing and contributing toward the brown bins of those who do have them. The leaves can be tamped down when in the bins, and tend to diminish in volume over a few days anyway. Any brown bags , or even poly sacks, that people do have can be used as temporary storage between bin collections. PS: And/or ask the council if they would provide their own robust collection bags to select volunteer householders, on the understanding that residents will fill them with street leaves, stack them for collection, and return any left-overs?
