A load of yobs were outside so the cops came round to tell them to korma down.

Obviously had enough of the edge of heaven

Excellent. A big thanks to Pat and nasaroc and everyone else who campaigned on our behalfs, and also to our elected reps.

I am glad that people seem to enjoy this place. I too have been put off by the exterior but I shall give the place a go.

Did he have a collar around him? I saw a tabby cat with white paws crossing Peak Hill today at around 2pm. He had a silver collar.

If that is really what the deputy mayor said and is what he genuinely believes, then he needs to be committed.

I think the problem that you experience is not with the location of the crossing (albeit it is in a stupid place) but the fact that very few drivers could care less - motorcyclists, car drivers etc. As long as there is no red light camera, they can break the law with impunity!

Finally, 20 trains per hour could run on the existing line

Michael - was this a concession from Peter Field? If so, time to expose Southern's train cutting exercise as a cost cutting exercise and not one of "safety".

Of course, another issue to consider is that if the maths are wrong and the LB trains become more crowded, given that Southern will have scrapped services in order to make way for ELL, do you think there is ever a possibility for those scrapped services to come back? I think not - it is easy to take...

or the record, I wrote to Dowd about the recent fare hikes and received an excellent bespoke response from the Minister for Transport.

You got a response??!! I didn't.

On reading the debate, I think Jim Dowd did an excellent job of getting our concerns across. One point which Gill Merron made is that she will bring the debate to the attention of those with whom she consults regarding the timetable. Is it appropriate for us to write to her so this is not forgotten?

Thanks Michael.

I cannot attend on the 14th but I will be sending Mrs Raymondus in my place. If the earbashings I get are any indication, hopefully any inconsistencies or untenable arguments will be shot down!
