Thanks for flagging it David. I've added my views to a rather un-consultative consultation. I don't know if it will help but this whole thing does feel incredibly opaque and underhand

All N4 and quite a lot of N8 post is sorted and delivered from Station Road. All packages are also delivered from there and if no-one is in, taken back there to be looked after securely until you go and collect. I've spent time with the back office …

i second squarespace. absolutely rock solid, looks great and loads fast and well on all devices. My sites been up and running for 3 years now and its been brilliant
-
I use Zasman and they're always really helpful and great as far as i'm concerned.
-
thanks @kateJones. perhaps we can finally move on from this particular storm in a tree cup. I'm really liking all the new fenestration on the building
-
I am loving seeing the new building go up. I really like the windows, the cladding i've seen looks good too. Cant wait to be able to get inside and have a proper nosey around when its done.

Without the foxes we'd be absolutely over-run with rats and as problem wildlife encroaching on humans i suspect rats are far worse than foxes. No-one should be feeding foxes, but backing onto to Parkland Walk, for all its loveliness, you quickly rea…

indeed. "difficult to meet the requirements" versus "selective". it is unfortunately easy to weed out who you don't want
-
Just to be clear - this will be a new primary school, no charge to attend. it's a Free School because it is in essence "free" from being managed by the local authority. Instead the Dept For Education pay for the school directly. What is very very di…

That has to be the most exciting form of pest control I've ever heard of, but i'm afraid the Dennis i used was a bit more sort it with the strong poison type guy. That said, he is quite interesting to talk to about the habits of various pets - rats …

We used Denis from Terminex very successfully to remove the rats from our kitchen 0800 975 2736

"talking to people on the underground" eurgh. My sister-in-law does that when she comes to London all the time. I prefer to enter my own bubble of existence as i enter any public transport, stand there with my own thoughts, uninterrupted by others. …

it only works on platform and not in tunnel, so very hard for anyone to use it to do very much except download something very quickly before they get on a train

my home office window looks out at the crossing and I hear severe screech of wheels at least once every 2 days, sometimes more often (generally when it's hot and sunny or dark and raining). There may not be many actual accidents but there are many, …

John Jones just won the appeal. tweet from Kate Jones: "Just leaving Royal Courts of Justice. We won!!!!! Our arts building can finally go ahead. More news soon!!!" Really good news that we'll get a gallery, some new developments AND keep a great…

virgin were laying new cabling through florence road on saturday. i get my new 60mb connection next saturday so fingers crossed all will be getting a lot better soon
-
Virgin broadband major outage for the next 5 days possibly. Just spoke to them and "there has been exponential loss to the area" which means they believe it's a cable fault and the sheer amount of cabling they'll have to replace may take up to 5 day…

we get rats because of Parkland Walk. Industrial strength poison really is the best answer I'm afraid. I used Denis (who's mentioned here somewhere about rats and mice) and he put down the stuff professionals are allowed to use. The stuff from homeb…

in the new year we got a lovely new feeder that attaches to the window with suction cups - seeds and fat balls are attracting the blue tits and robins and even better, absolutely no way for the squirrels to get near (until they attach suction cups t…

still not got my replacement parking vouchers despite sending them recorded delivery over 3 weeks ago. so far today i've spoken to 5 different people, been promised to be called back (absolutely and definitely) before 12 (they didn't), before 3 (the…

@arkady for linkedin, i reckon best approach is to write a list of potential or interesting employers and then search through your connections to see if they have connections to them (or connections to connections to them). then ask for an intro, an…

had a great meal at Season last tuesday and the guests I took are going back under their own volition tomorrow. You can never be 100% all the time but good for Season for trying to rectify.

aaagghh and I can't get the < > to work...sorry all
-
No-one can tell anyone what to think. This forum is a glorious case in point. Even fewer people can tell us what to do and in general that doesn't work overly well on a majority of issues either...just the really obvious big ones like don't murder a…

@Misscara if you thought i was having a go at you take a very deep breath. I wasn't. FFS indeed.

hang on...can't be samaranch.. he's dead. Is it only thursday...

I like BBM. So there. Good scrambled eggs and the coffee is OK. Frankly overall it gets an 8 out of 10 from me and in comparison to the scrambled eggs and coffee I had at The Savoy this morning, BBM is utterly great. The only difference is that I …

@misscara @miss annie Google midsomer producer and in the news bit all will become clear. surely the point is that the more detailed a description anyone can give, the better and the more generic, the more likely to raise archetype based issues …

well I say Good Luck Ashmount! I think a school linking onto Parkland Walk is great - more kids, more people walking, less opportunity for general nefarious activities.
