Sharing economy should be a great thing. AirBnB was about letting out a room, or house, when you don't need it. Now commercial letters are using it, which (I understand) has driven up rents as you can get more renting by the day, and is not in the spirit it was designed for.


Anyway my take from a few articles I have scanned and my experience in looking for places in a Spanish City.

The brave new world may be a little further away:


California regulators ordered Uber to remove its self-driving vehicles from the road on the same day that the company?s vehicles were caught running red lights ? violations the company immediately blamed on ?human error?.

?It is essential that Uber takes appropriate measures to ensure safety of the public,? the California department of motor vehicles (DMV) wrote to Uber on Wednesday after it defied government officials and began piloting the cars in San Francisco without permits. ?If Uber does not confirm immediately that it will stop its launch and seek a testing permit, DMV will initiate legal action.?

    • Found a black umbrella on the 63 bus at Forest Hill Road a couple of days ago in the morning. Thought about keeping it since umbrellas are one of the most common lost items on public transport and no one bothers to collect them. Try lost property Peckham bus garage if it's yours, sorry no picture. No idea if they charge a collection fee. I know the days of drivers being rewarded for claimed lost property like the old days are long gone.
    • this is jokes -  I walked through Dulwich park and there were loads of people there and actually the skate park is reasonably illuminated by the street lights.  I was stating a tiny fact about a sliver of time not making a statement on the 'youth of today'    
    • The sun set at 5.37pm yesterday and it was 7⁰ at that time, according to the Met Office. The skate park is, obviously, unlit. Kids these days can't win. They get off their arse and make use of a derelict car park, and it gets called a haven for underage drink and drugs. They use the skate park and people complain it's noisy; they don't use it because it's dark and cold and people complain about that too! If they were out there bundled up against the cold yesterday, we'd probably hear moaning about "hoodie ruffians wearing masks..."
