Apple, it's me who should apologise, I had a shocking morning, and vented on here.

Eureka I've got it: A new sign for Chener Books! ;-)

How about paying someone to remove all the trees in Barry Rd (controversial), so our cars, carpets etc, stop getting covered in that sticky crap!

Talking about trees, why not ask for some fruit trees to be planted in community spaces instead of the ones that just sit there doing nothing except reducing CO2. I remember scrumping fruit from trees when I was young, and most fruit now is picked way before it's ripe and is no-where near as healthy as it should be. Do you think they'd object incase of possible fruit related injuries tho?

How about green roofs for the tops of bus shelters? I had this idea yonks ago and never did anything about it. I am sure if I were Hugh Whatsisname or Alan Titchmarsh or someone it wojld have been taken up as a one-off idea at the very least, with loads of fanfare and spin. Imagine, all of London's bus shelters topped with turf or even just moss and lichen. It would be lovely. (You heard it here first.) Nero

Nero - like the green roof idea but how would u get the mower up there tho

better than fag butts, starbucks paper cups and beer cans.

Why did you have to mention Starbucks - I can almost smell it now ... Soon it will return to Saino's - hurrah!

We could use the community grant to celebrate the re-opening of Starbucks!

lol bawdy you know you may have an idea there,i think thats a brill sports day,but you must involve the estate agents in that event,any thoughts on how the estate agents can take part?

[bawdy-nan]

The game for estate agents would be the SE22 topple during which you stand on a small upturned bucket and your team hand you more and more bags of things (cash) til you become overloaded and fall off your perch. One could understand this as a fable about greed or explanation of the imminent house price crash.
