what no one seems to be mentioning officially either is that when HS2 construction works start the Zoo car park is going to be an HGV compound with numerous roads having utility works, bridges removed (Mornington Street Bridge), roads closed (Park Village East), and numerous construction routes with HGVs carrying spoil out of London, even if they do manage to take some out by rail

big piece in the Camden New Journal,

http://www.camdennewjournal.com/cs11-two-sides

has certainly got people talking, but some folk near to me in Camden who naturally don't fall into either camp seem to get excited when nearly hit by cyclists on the pavement so some are not helping the cause, just saying not judging in this instance, I know there's a thread for that sort of thing somewhere.

given the rigidity comments above, if you really wanted a full sized bike and wheels where frame had to split for transport would you not use S&S couplings type thing http://www.bobjacksoncycles.co.uk/ss.php without the rigidity issue (I appreciate there may be a price difference) ?

heading north out of Euston could cover Camden Cutting, making line into a tunnel, reduce noise etc and put a super cycleway type thing on top with green space, link up with Regents Park and beyond

ps am biased as live in Camden and all against HS2

If liability is uncontested then makes sense to deal direct since if sensible they would rather pay you than pay you the same plus an ambulance chaser, if they are sensible. However if they look to be difficult then would make it clear to them that you will be appointing someone. I got hit from behind while sitting in a stationary car, very quickly got a letter stating they accepted liability although there was a bit of argument on costs but they soon caved in when said if didn't settle I'd be referring to my insurance and solicitors. This is on proviso that you are happy writing "Without prejudice save as to costs" type letters".

despite possible provocation, a punch in the face is assault (I believe), and should not be treated lightly, if the photo evidence can be retrieved then should it not be followed up?, what happens next time he's in a rage, definitely a complaint re police, assaults should be followed up in my opinion

this is awful, but being practical on the phone front, may be covered under house insurance or as my mrs pointed out by your bank (if Nat West as in Mrs case) where there was a policy attached to account and she destroyed hers by spilling coca cola in her handbag

failing that I know someone in industry and may be able to get a spare, it won't be latest technology but what features do you need ?

Are you sure you left the UK?

you obviously didn't go, UK positively track like in comparison

while some of the negative comments are not unfair I met loads of people who didn't fit the stereotype and infact were amazingly generous as only people who have little can be. There is a lot to see and do although 3 years is quite a stint !

When I was in Moscow for 3 months in 1994 we were advised not to drive by my work let alone cycle, the standard of driving was poor and a complete lack of respect for other road users, cars mounting pavements to get past traffic jams was common with peds expected to get out of the way. If we did drive we were also advised not to stop for RTAs as these were frequently staged as a prelude to mugging. I went back in 2007 staying with a friend and was advised little had changed.

I would think very carefully whether cycling would be a good idea............

I should mention I spent 4 years living in Eastern Europe and Moscow was bad in comparison to pretty much everywhere else I went. Most of my time was spent in Poland where I had a road bike and MTB. The road bike pretty much stayed on the tacx trainer given the poor roads, while cycling in Warszawa was not such a good idea but out in the more rural areas was great fun.

obviously gift better but can also do via a loan as long as the parents have a second mortgage ie rank behind the bank so then bank know they get first cut

it'll be in the lease, don't assume the landlord is following it even if an ex-LA flat, Camden bill my annual service charge in advance but there is no ability to do this under my lease, the first letter back is a pain, and they chase but they've not risked it reaching trial. You need to read the "small print".

ps I'd make sure you pay the ground rent even if small.

Re above issue on ex LA flat purchase, Our flat in Camden is ex LA, have works been done and this is the invoice or is it start of consultation about intention to do works? if latter then sellor will argue that price agreed reflects condition of building ie poor ? and hence your cost, if works done then more like his liability, but at the end of day it's a flat purchase so the negotiating isn't done til you sign. If he doesn't sell then his cost anyway and back to trying to sell with scaffolding etc. I'd also want to know was work done properly needed etc. is it a big block of flats or converted house. Some of the ex LA blocks have huge hidden liabilities given lack of works in past, some of the ones in Camden are £30-40k per flat

Now, surely? My opinion is that when interest rates finally begin to revert to 'normal' levels, you will see a cooling off of price rises.

this assumes all the buyers are borrowing on £ normal terms,

given level of foreigners buying don't think this is the case, in Camden seems £ per sq m dependent on whether property appeals to foreign investor or not, anything off-plan is marketed and sold abroad as often sounds nice and any negatives on immediate vicinity are overlooked.

London market is driven by wealthy international population with a trickle down effect pushing up prices for rest of us needing somewhere to live, even 20 years ago 40% of purchases in posh areas (SW3, SW7 etc) were foreigners and that was before the Russians, Chinese, and the flight to safety out of the euro zone,

Yes, excited for the war museum stuff, .............

I'd try to read up before going to museums, it might put in different perspective, the official history is written by the "winners",

as to Saigon by moped, make sure your insurance is up to date, the stats are scary, and I was with people who lived there and are used to the traffic, or maybe it was having a big "fat" bloke on the back, oh and when they suggest the still beating snake's heart is a local tradition, yes it is (apparently) but most haven't done it

estate agents may be looking to buyers as harder to justify high fees to sellers, given its a sellers market at the moment then some hard negotiating before giving instruction can reduce fees, given a well presented property can effectively sell itself how much work is actually being done.........

pm coming

good news in this case but a quick google suggests not uncommon (after get over the first 10 or so search responses - dog breeders have lot to answer for), it would be good to know what you should do.

just found this and I am relieved that so many people get frustrated at such bad cycling you see so often,

so, how far should you go with the neighbour who insists on cycling down our one way street the wrong way ?

and a question to all those who have not found the Outer Circle in Regents Park (despite having to cross it to enter the park) and cycle in the park, how do you read the posts here when somehow you can miss the 3 ft high "NO CYCLING" painted on the tarmac as you cycle across it ! I only complain as it means those of us with toddlers / v young kids cannot let them walk on their own for fear on some nutter on a bike mowing them down.......

ok no one on here, as we can all read but clearly some others ???

is taper JIS or ISO, what cranks was it for ?

cheers

if same one, used to run a bike shop in Hildenborough (off A21 between Tonbridge and Sevenoaks) on Brookmead estate, think the shop is still there, he'd be in his sixties at least by now.

http://www.tonbridge-kent.com/hcc/index.htm

had quite longevity of staff as popped in about 10 years ago and some of same people from 30 years ago. They would know if ever actually built frames.

Yeah should be alright. Pm me your number.
