Don’t know how I’ve posted first in your thread @Zebra_Cyclist - caught the forum doing something weird and thought I’d experiment…

Well that's fun I think it was because my hand slipped and posted a blank post then edited with the words and found you had posted

I chatted to some gardeners who were working there- they had been told to take all the benches etc away and they didn’t sound optimistic about it coming back at all.

Wasn’t it originally in protest to not getting planning permission? Maybe he finally got it?

Would be very easy to check if a planning application had been made. Nothing is mentioned on the Southwark planning portal, but I could be telling lies. Search for yourself sheeple.

I stand by my comment of wonder if it will return.

I thought it was that he was denied the first time, so he got permission for a tank, just not that kind of tank.

In other news the video tapes have returned to the Hellraiser bus stop apparently.

Still no sign of Stompie on my way past today. Gates erected and garden looking overgrown. Wouldn't be surprised it it finally goes as a development site

Well that was obvious....the only reason the tank was there was to annoy planners.

But rip central London tank

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
