2 Red Kites? swooping around in the thermals above my house today.

Saw it today in convoy with all the other buses picking kids up from Jags/Allens. Defo your one as it had the same taped on rear bumper as in your pic. Didn't get the full plate but it starts HY21 and the bus is a Mercedes. Hope that helps.

100% a scam. Your best bet is likley to boot the PC into recovery mode and then use system restore to restore back to a known working backup.

Youtube is also really good for this. Just search for your specific problem and someone is likely to have done a video guide on it. GCN is a good channel that has lots of help videos, for example here are the ones on brake maintenance.. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gcn+adjust+brakes

These guys look to have a locker near you https://www.bikeaway.com/ or you could hire a garage from the council.. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/housing/garages/apply-and-pay-for-a-garage

I'm not an instructor but have been cycling in London for 10 years and was thinking how I approach this. There are a few things that can help I think. With time you'll come to understand the phasing of the lights on your route. For example if you know that there is a pedestrian crossing phase before they go green you then have time to get to the front. The other cyclists you've seen have probably been cycling that route for years and know the phases instinctively. Making sure you are looking ahead at what is happening up the road. If you see the lights change then again you'll know you have time to get to the front. Conversely if you see that a line of cars has been sat motionless for a while then maybe the light is due to change to green and you should hang back. Make sure you are covering the brakes and in a gear that means you can make a quick move if the lights change on you. Whether that's putting in a quick acceleration or braking and re-merging into traffic. Overtake the stationary cars on the outside, that way if the lights change and they do move off there is no chance that one will turn left across you. In fact I advocate never undertaking cars at junctions if at all possible. Finally the vast majority of drivers in London are patient and courteous, if they see someone who has been caught out by the changing of lights they will normally give you room to move back over to the left and back up to speed. Just ensure you signal and if possible make eye contact with them before making any moves. binkylilyput Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Really helpful tips, thanks! > > How would you suggest managing positioning at > junctions?

My thoughts are that people are doing their best and sometimes make mistakes as these are crazy times. I'm sure the next time she goes she'll get better service.

Well said DulwichBorn&bred.

Hilariously they have uploaded a new parking survey that suggests that parking is not an issue in the surrounding streets, well why then have the council just instigated a CPZ in those very same streets!

Received the below today, planning officer is recommending that the proposal is approved... I write to inform you that the above planning application will be considered by the Council?s Planning Committee through a Virtual Meeting due to measures put in place by the Government to prevent the spread of COVID-19 . Date: 9th June 2020 Time: 19:00 If you would like to take part in the virtual meeting, please contact the Council's constitutional team, who will send you a link and further information on how to join the meeting: Email: [email protected] Phone: 020 7525 7420 (for main planning and sub-committee A) and 020 7525 7234 (for sub-committee B). The recommendation from officers is to approve planning permission. My report on the application sets out the material planning considerations that have led to my recommendation. You can read my report on the Council?s website using this link:https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/PLAN/19/AP/5616 and selecting the document called "Officers report". Alternatively, you can search for the application on the council's planning register by accessing http://planning.southwark.gov.uk, and then searching for application 19/AP/5616.

You forgot to mention road tax and and jumping red lights. 3/10 for your rant.

Something's got confused here, you can park on Green dale which is right next to Steen Way. Alternatively you could park on East Dulwich Grove, there's a load of bays a little ways down from Steen. You would also have the car park at the back of the estate where I'm sure you'll have a spot.

Sainsbury's sell "Basa" which is just a made up name to hide the fact it's farmed catfish.

I've seen the Lime dockless hire bikes around Dulwich before. Maybe try using them for a while before taking the plunge.

Ok so sounds like the folder is there but just not opening on your screen. What happens if you press the Windows key and the E key at the same time? Does file explorer open, and if it does can you see the documents folder?

Likely opening off screen. Did you have multiple monitors? Try clicking start, typing file explorer and then browsing to documents from there.

Yep, you'll get a notification when someone close by needs help.

All you need to do is tap on "Me" and tap on "report for duty" when you are ready to help. Saying that though, I've had mine set to ready for days and no tasks have come up yet.

I use the big plastic boxes that slide under the bed. 1 for spare parts, 1 for gloves hats etc, 1 for inner tubes etc. Keeps stuff out of the way and easy to get to if required.

These are resident parking only. There has been some agitation to make them permit only and to reinstate the entrance barrier.

This site lists hundreds of walks all within easy reach of London. All are detailed with public transport options and stops for lunch. https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/

They have a "household waste" section where everything that cannot be sorted goes. You'll be fine.

Hi Mark I cycle in to Blackfriars every day at around 8.30 and would be happy to take you in one day. I start by going up Green dale and my route avoids all main roads and is relatively traffic free.

However he has a point in a way, with a rapidly rising population we need to think about new ways of moving people around. Unfortunately there is no money for new trains, tubes etc and there is no space for more roads. If these quietways get 20 people out of their cars that's 20 cars not in-front of your bus in a traffic jam.

I just don't get the opposition to this scheme. Take the word "cycle" away from this and isn't this something we all want. Reducing the number of cars rat-running along residential streets. Indeed pretty much all of the roads impacted already have some form of traffic calming in place.
