Ruskin park - word of warning
anonymous_third_part replied to Skin_deep's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Not all older men on their own in parks are peados. -
Evidence is that masks are effective - pretty much three-fold - for stopping asymptomatic carriers of the virus spreading it, aerosol spreading can reach more than 2 metres - so masks can protect, and finally, they are symbol we are in a pandemic and it changes peoples behaviour - stop touching your face, be sensible etc. Hong Kong has 4 deaths. The govt there said no need to wear masks, but people wore them anyway - it's socially unacceptable to be out without a mask. Govt also introduced testing, mandatory hospital and quarantine for those with covid-19. A final point - if the govt said lockdown is over, but you have to wear a mask, would you wear masks or still save them for front line staff? The UK govt and epidemiologists got this wrong - strategy has failed completely. So to conclude, buy masks, wear them - they work and are effective.

I actually have a website and take card payments in person - it's much cheaper to accept a card payment and pay the small charge (1.5-2.25%) than trying to pay cash in the bank. Less staff fraud, less chance of getting robbed and less chance of getting your books wrong - it makes no sense whatsoever to not want to accept all card payments - unless you are trying to dodge paying taxes

Virgin media broadband broken
anonymous_third_part replied to Al&Em's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
i'm ditching virgin media and moving to EE. The service is good when it works, but far too unreliable. EE will probably be the same though - but ?33 a month cheaper. Like all companies, they haven't invested in infrastructure for ages, so it always fails somewhere. -
Can anyone recommend a restaurant near London Bridge?

@ Charles Notice - I looked too. There is no way you could have a public path that close to a live railway line. 1. Safety - its an electrified mainline used 24 hours a day. 2. Environment - it would be horrendously noisy with screeching trains all the time. 3. Network rail will own the land. Who will pay for it to make this happen? As I said previously, the high line in Manhattan was a completely separate railway line for the meatpacking district - so feasibly could be turned into a park. This clearly couldn't be. It is a brilliant idea though and clever people are working on it, it might just happen

A slight issue with this plan is that the line is basically next to live train lines. Tue high line in New York in the meat packing district was a disused high line railway, completely separate from other rails. From what I can see from Googlemaps this is not a separate line at all. There is a similar early plan for the disused railway next to Shoreditch High Street- I think that one has more likelihood of success. I

driving is great. i find its best saturday morning very early - stick to the M11 then on to A1 - normally takes around 4 hours 45 mins.

i've paid a couple of times for people when they didn't have the money on their oyster card and no cash. I'm sure if a child got on a bus, someone would help. i suppose you're all off to smash up the looms now?

Peckham Rye Ward

The burnt out shops are a disgrace! -
I think everyone knew that the station was due to be redeveloped though. The decision to redevelop the station is no surprise to anyone.
-
My main point is that "consultation" in most cases slows down change, leaving areas undeveloped. Louisa makes a good point regarding Peckham and th eRye Lane area - so many different plans have come and gone. Decisions should be made and then the plans implemented.
