Naked cycling

I know it’s allowed, I just don’t understand why. Why isn’t it classed as exposing yourself in a public place.  Children see these people and it’s got to be unhygienic

SoGA & GPG - South Chiswick LTN Public Protest

SoGA+GPG+Burlington Lane+Park Road Residents are organising a Public Protest to draw attention to residents' objections to the current South Chiswick LTN. The demonstration will take place outside LBH Council Offices on May 31 when the newly elected council meets for the first time.  A survey of residents underlines the anger already extensively expressed to the Council about the disjointed measures imposed on the area and this is an opportunity to encourage the new administration to meet our needs.

LTNs

Sunday 15th just had a young lad from the Labour party on my door step. He tells me LTNs are being forced through by the Lib Dem County Council who are hoping that Labour will get the blame for it! So that is how it's going here in Oxford; Real Politik & skulduggery! recently received a leaflet from the CoHSAT 'Healthy Streets' activists (Lycra men) accusing those opposed to LTNs  of 'poll-rigging.' Challenged about that they said they had 8 pieces of evidence, but then refused to produce it.

roof check

My insurers insist upon a quick check of the flat roof part of my house, once every 8 years. Can anyone recommend a roofer who could do it, and what they would charge?

Does anyone know Rachel-Anne Rose?

I’ve had a letter from Parcel Force sent to my house number, street and postcode but addressed to her. It appears to be legit so possibly she is expecting a communication from Parcel Force and they have mistyped the address.Her name does crop up as a local in Google but not sure if there’s any way to forward the letter to her without knowing the correct address.

Lidl keen to locate in Chiswick - need help with location

Great to hear that Lidl want to open a store in Chiswick, they have asked locals to recommend an area and premises that would be suitable and have even offered a finders fee!I feel the high street is really well catered for but Grove Park and Strand on the green are really lacking in a decent supermarket. With a larger number of people using services like Ocado to do their shopping around here- adding to traffic, pollution etc... grove park seems like the logical place.Anyone else have any thoughts or seen a disused shop they think is suitable?

Fly Past Thurs. 2nd June

I have worked out that we are in Area E and that the fly past will be some time between 12.40 and 1.15p.m. Can anybody tell me a good place to go locally to see it? I should think it needs to be a fairly open spot - I was thinking of Kew Gardens or Syon Park but surely that isn't possible as it would interfere with the usual flight path. Any information and helpful hints would be very welcome. It would be fab if they followed the river for at least some of the course.I'm sure there will be other people who would appreciate clarification on this. For those who don't know, there will apparently be a good number of planes going over and it will take six minutes for them to pass. Thank you in advance!

Cyclists on roundabouts

I have just had a nasty experience with an arrogant cyclist who entered a roundabout at great speed cutting across my path. I was already on the roundabout and  was forced to break sharply as he entered.  The car behind me also on roundabout almost ploughed into me. I followed the cyclist to remonstrate with him and he said I was in the wrong!  He said drivers now have to give way to cyclists and he made a rude gesture swore and cycled off. . This is not my understanding  of the highway  code. Am I missing something? Or does the cyclist merely have a deathwish?

Metal working/fabrication

Has anyone used any of the metalworking firms in the W London area?  I'd like to get something bespoke made in metal for my garden, to replace a wooden structure that's supposed to hold water (it's the water reservoir under a water feature). The wood has rotted over time (not surprising really I suppose - water and wood - not a great combo?) and I thought a welded metal structure might be a better  substitute.

Kettle repairs near Chiswick please.

I can't believe it's so difficult to find a kettle repairer. This probably means that people don't bother and just throw it out, buy a new one. It's crazy and bl**dy annoying.😠
