Hi everyone,

Tomorrow British Geological Survey will be conducting soil samples in our area. I am one of the people doing them, there'll be small pairs of people in high vis jackets with what look like metal poles with loops on the ends of them. Please do not get stressed if you see us in the parks as council's have granted access. Also we may be asking permission to sample peoples gardens due to the lack of open public ground. If you see us about we're a friendly bunch and feel free to ask us about what we're doing as we have info leaflets...

maybe see you tomorrow guys..

sorry not to reply sooner due to lack of internet access. Firstly thank you to all the lovely helpful individuals that let us sample their gardens. The sampling is being conducted as part of two studies run by BGS; London Earth and GBASE. They are analysing the content of the soil, the minerals and any contaminants present. These will then be mapped and compared to land use, the bedrock geology and comparative studies between cities and rural and city locations. The results will not be availble for two years and are involved with any regulatory body or environmental group. If you would like further info please see the following links:

      Cycles jumping lights

      Your post is a little confusing, what were the father and child doing?  For balance I cycled along Brenchley Gardens a couple of Sundays ago in the evening, there was a long line of cars coming towards Forest Hill Road, one car decides to overtake the whole line driving perhaps 60mph or more.  This cyclist had to get out of the speeding car's way. On Friday I was walking on the same road. There were two electric bikes, looking like small trails motorbikes.  No lights, no helmets, no registration plates, no doubt no insurance.  Traveling well above the 20mph speed limit, weaving in and out of the cars, then came back the other way doing the same, and then returned for a further go. Perhaps re-title the thread as inconsiderate road users, rather than yet another thread complaining about cyclists.

      I came across a father with a very young child coming up limesford road, which is currently a one way road due to the Nunhead cemetery wall reconstruction.  The lights were green for me, so I continued to go down Limesfoed, the guy shouted at me, like I was in the wrong.  Are cyclist allowed to take the roads, by jumping lights, despite being given government safety? I see this everyday.

      SHOPLIFTING TEENS ON EAST DULWICH GROVE

      People who buy stolen goods are no better than the thieves Edited this sounds rather reactionary, however if there was no market for selling stuff on there would be less shoplifting
