You’ll be fine there. Most of the neighbours are dead. -
Cutting down of the Cherry Tree Peckham Rye Park

What have you got against this tree?! -
I’m after an old pair of wellies to wear while mixing up concrete for a shed base. If anyone has a grotty old pair they no longer need, I’d be happy to hear from you.

I think Christmas tree collections are already processed by AI.

People returning home from summer holidays, kids going back to school, change in temperature, central heating going on for the first time…. All adds up to a new strain of lurgy. ‘Tis the season to be jelly. get well soon all.

Annoying words that have cropped up in our language

?Excited for? when the speaker means ?excited about?. As in ?I am really excited for the party tomorrow?. No! -
How will the ULEZ be enforced in ED?
teetomthomas replied to Sunglasses's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Actually it?s aluminium. I?d hardly call it a conspiracy theory. Nor can I agree that it?s too far fetched. And why bring the Chinese government into it?! TFL were on their uppers in the early part of the pandemic with their revenue catastrophically reduced. With between ??90m and ?130m? required to fund the ULEZ ( not to mention the scrappage scheme) they had to come up with something. Let?s not try to deny that LTN?s, not just in Southwark but across London have been highly successful in raising piles of cash. Your timeline was useful to a degree, but if you can show me that LTN?s had been discussed in the London Assembly prior to the pandemic and where this fits chronologically I will take that on board. If the ULEZ is successful in its objectives to reduce traffic as well as pollution, then the necessity for Low Traffic Neighbourhoods recedes, and those planters can indeed be removed. I will thank you for your prior comments on this thread, they are informative and helpful . But I am disappointed when I hear anyone cry ?conspiracy theory? and ? tinfoil hat? on an otherwise open and respectful forum thread. I feel it rather lowers the tone in an environment where people are allowed to add to the discussion. I wish you well, and hope that you are enjoying the sunshine. Unless of course you don?t like the heat. I hear it will rain tomorrow. -

I suppose of course you could imagine that Southwark Council, the UK government and the Chinese government have been conspiring since 2018 to launch COVID on an unsuspecting population so that TfL could buy some cameras. What are you talking about? -

The recently introduced and hugely popular Low Traffic Neighbourhoods have had the effect of not only forcing traffic onto main roads which are often already covered by cameras but also of raising hefty amounts of money from penalty notices issued to drivers unfortunate enough to drive where they oughtn?t. I wonder if this money will be used to pay for ULEZ enforcement cameras on London?s quieter roads within the Zone and we will see those elegant LTN planters eventually withdrawn.
