Every now and then we have to run some maintenance on the forum to keep it healthy, unfortunately last night's expected 2 hours took 12 hours and still didn't finish so I'm going to have to do it again sometime soon.


I do usually try and give notice but a window of opportunity arose last night so I took it. Anyway you may find the forum's running a bit faster and I'm still hoping one day to be able to make it more mobile friendly, it's just finding the time.


Have a nice Friday and don't forget to wrap up as it's getting a bit cold out there.


Ps if you want the forum to run faster for you, go to the home page and click on all the 'reset new posts' link. It will of course reset all the posts so they'll not be 'new' anymore.

I'll admit; I emitted a small "Homer Simpson" type scream on "logging on" and seeing the "red" notice. Once I'd composed myself, I realised how lucky I am to have something like the EDF whenever I want. And you maintain it too, so that I may keep returning to it. So a massive THANK YOU from me too, Mr/s. Administrator. (tu)


Edited to say, perhaps Mr/s. Administrator should close the Forum down more often, if only to raise awareness of how fortunate we all are to have such a wonderful resource. Certainly, as a result of last night's maintenance, I was able to recognise just how much I take this Forum for granted.

    • Obviously, but they may be wrong. Not only are we coming up to another population renewal drop after the continuing effects of the baby bulge generation enter a trough,  - secondary schools are closing across many boroughs - but birth rates in the UK continue to fall (not just absolute births which are also falling as a function of the bulge unwind, but births per head). And foreign student numbers are also falling. Additionally the costs of being a student are rising, which encourages more students to go to universities close enough that they don't need accommodation but can live at home. Bubbles burst, and this may be one of them.
    • Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...
    • Just a quick question- We’re on Crystal Palace Road, backing onto Darrell Road, about midway between The Great Exhibition and The Actress, and both my daughters (late teens/early twenties) are complaining about an intermittent, very high frequency noise that they find very uncomfortable. It’s worse for the older one as she’s trying to study for the finals of her degree coming up in May, and she’s already having hospital treatment for an ear condition. The sound can even be heard from indoors with the windows closed. Neither my wife or I can hear it but it’s been going on for a few days now and I wonder if it’s one of those ultrasonic cat/dog/fox repellents, maybe connected to a movement sensor, that only registers with animals and younger people with much more sensitive hearing?    If that is the case would you mind turning it off please as it’s causing a very real problem.    Many thanks.
    • It would help if they opened times when most people needed them.  I had to send a parcel yesterday and Forest Hill post office was unexpectedly closed.  I ended up going to Sydenham, even though Lordship lane was on my way for other shopping as the Lordship Lane PO it closes at 1pm on a Saturday.
