Not if you are talking about AIRCRAFT NOISE which if you look carefully is the subject of this thread. I think I'll wear your tail as tie!

So not nonsense at all then - bit quick off the mark there Foxy.

Agreed - they do seem to be flying lower or at least more overhead as the noise is a lot louder than normal. Action Group time?

has to be the worst sunday yet we've got them every 20-30secs today - have signed the petition only 49 signatures left to go

Zebedee Tring - sad thing is I don't think there is any such prohibitory legislation (I couldn't immediately find it either) but I would be surprised if common law/admin law principles (natural justice / wednesbury unreasonableness) could allow such a result to be maintained in the circumstances. Definitely worth getting Counsel's opinion - Geoffrey Robertson would do nicely. I just wish that the petition set up on the gov website had been on this basis not the basis of the appropriate threshold because that's clearly a non-starter especially when it was set up by a Leaver!

Helen As a lawyer, I think there's a credible case for a second referendum on the basis of intentionally misleading assertions that were part of the Leave campaign that could not be made under the CAP Code by advertisers about their products or services. In matters as important as elections/referendums as a bare minimum the same standards of legal, truth, decent and honest should apply to campaign statements. It may not change the overall result but at least we could be confident that decisions were taken on the basis of honesty as you say. I think we need to start with the Electoral Commission being called before a Select Committee. Thanks for posting your points. Flyer

Did you report this? There's actually quite a lot of CCTV in the area both public and private that might help the police catch these guys but they need to get to it quickly.

Good on you Bil! I don't think you could have done better other than to have picked up the offending parcel and placed it in her coat pocket so she could take it with her. It might at least have kept one of her hands warm for the journey home. #pickituporwearithome

Thanks JohnL I like your approach. If it is someone genuine they'll leave a voicemail right

Thanks Penguin68. Fingers crossed indeed that it was just a coincidence. Re coming in on the mobile, I suspect if I'd stayed on the call they'd have asked me to download some sort of application to my computer to give them access. At least that's how other people seem to have been scammed according to a few blog postings I've just read. To be honest they blew it with the visible number from Australia. I was suspicious from the start. Had they come through on a number withheld, I'd have been less sure it was a scam and more curious. Also that number is now blown for them as I've reported it all over the web. My policy on these unsolicited calls whether it's a bank, a utility company or whatever, is to just tell them I'll call them back and then find the correct number myself and call them.

Hi all I had a suspected scam call on my mobile today. Caller gave no name and didn't know mine but claimed to be from Dell and said they'd been monitoring our computer for a month and there were errors that needed fixing and they would go into our computer and show us how to fix them. Mobile number displayed was for Australia +61 243 691 369. When Dell have called me (because I called them first) they normally call on a withheld number. Anyway I explained to the very enthusiastic lady that I was concerned about computer scams and would contact Dell myself to see if there was an issue. I have and there isn't. I've reported the scam to Dell here http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/topics/survey.aspx/ss?ssid=fm8lnRnnMOE~&dgc=SM&cid=279852&lid=5635328. Bit concerned as to how the scammers know my mobile and that we have a Dell computer. Either my email is less secure than I thought or Dell have a problem they haven't mentioned. Anyways, don't fall for this one All the best Flyer

Spot on Solar thanks - meant 197. Took 363 to crystal palace and 197 back. Now updated! Thanks again

Something really does need to be done about this. We were on a 197 that absolutely bombed down Barry Rd last night so much so that I couldn't get my phone out in time to record what the speed was. The attached screenshot is from just after we turned out onto Peckham Rye (still a 20mph). It was actually pretty scary as at night with cars parked on both sides the road, exits/entrances obscured, there's virtually nowhere to go in the event of a problem. But it's not just buses or Barry Road - Peckham Rye turns into a race track in the late evenings with cars and bikes doing ridiculous speeds up and own it. Very surprised Southwark/Metropolitan Police/Council aren't already all over this as there's some good enforcement money to be made here! @jamesbarber can you raise or tell us who to contact at Southwark, TFL, the bus companies and the Met to get this looked at. There are already some good suggestions above as to how to deal with it. Near where my folks live they have a local monitoring group with a speed gun that takes the number plates of speeding cars. As I understand it, two contraventions and you get a letter from the DVLA (not sure if it's accompanied by a fine or not - I'll see if I can find out). Either way let's not wait until bunches of flowers appear at the side of the road.

In Sainsburys - Richard Ayoade Not quite in Sainsburys but - Olivia Coleman on Lordship Lane and Iain Glenn (GOT) near Dulwich Park.

A heads up to avoid the top end of Peckham Rye near the junction of Nigel Road, Heaton Road and Peckham Rye. A car caught fire near the bust stop. Fire now out and FB on scene with lots of police. Didn't seem like there was anyone in the car and people kept their distance so hope all are ok. Didn't half make a few loud bangs though when it went off. Traffic up and down Rye lane completely seized for the moment. Suggest back routes through Bellenden / Consort Road

Thank you - very helpful!

Hello there Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question. My better half has two windows 7 pcs one for work and one for home. We'd like to upgrade the home one to Windows 10 but keep work on Windows 7. Does anyone know if when you upgrade one pc on the same Microsoft User Account it automatically upgrades the other too? Any advice would be much appreciated! Many thanks flyer 22

Yes - no construction noise beyond the bounds of your property except between 8am-6pm. If you lived in a detached house and could be sure that the noise/vibration of your drilling does not escape your property, you would appear to be free to do so. However, if you are terraced or detached you may have problems with the sound travelling.

Hello Had a problem with some builders next door drilling at 6.53am this morning. Promptly informed them about Southwark's 8am-6pm rule and when they failed to agree to stick to it, I called Southwark anyway. INTERESTINGLY - the Southwark Council Noise Officer who came to investigate the complaint informed me that the 8am-6pm timing wasn't a legal rule at all but guidance. It only became a legal restriction after the Noise Officers placed the construction work under an 8am-6pm restriction. So until that restriction was in place they could build all night if they liked! Moral of the story - complain as soon as possible and get the Noise Officers down! Over and out.

go with a). It's the decent thing to do, they may have a legal claim against you if you have caused the problem and they could also cause trouble for your redevelopment. The dish may just need a slight height adjustment to solve the issue but do shop around for engineers as they can vary in price/quality. B) and c) probably a bit tricky to run now you've asked the question on a public forum

We went to the Picture House last night and it was marvellous. No jerky film and dodgy sound like another cinema I won't name. Great sound and comfort and if you go on Meerkat movies days it's incredible value. Don't miss it!

Hello there Can anyone recommend some decent but reasonable conveyancers/solicitors? We've had a few wildly varying quotes (?1000 -?1750 for one bed leasehold flat) from some firms none of which have inspired much confidence. We're looking for a conveyancer/solicitor who really knows there stuff and will take charge through the purchase rather than requiring continual chasing by us. Thanks for considering this. Flyer22
