Re: The Monstrosity - ie St Philp Neri school building

Hi Julia

I tested it twice and it worked - just retested after seeing your message - and you are right it failed..

Probably a timing issue.

Let me try a different approach tomorrow.

Re: sticky:Mural?

Naturally - one logical step after another. The Dolphin is a leasehold arrangement as I understand it. That is why I thought the elevation might belong to the undertaker and not necessarily the owners of the pub. However Clear Channel will at least know who their contract is with - and it will be in...

Re: sticky:Mural?

A well considered step, Julia. It is to be hoped that the feedback is positive. Thereafter a view would have to be formed about the transferability of the designs under current consideration, whether they are suitable and can they then be put into a public vote. Bearing in mind the crowd-funding iss...

Sorry Julia - could only find this significantly different pic. Do you more in another location ?

Re: I’m being spied on

Hugely informative - thank you.

And they do this for the post-results analysis as well as the pre-ballot prediction polls ?

Re: I’m being spied on

Fairly clear on ipsos MORI's part, Tim.

They firmly state it is an estimate then "calibrated" somehow.

Re: I’m being spied on

Just an extra thought on post-results analysis - but still very much on point. We have become accustomed to seeing demographic analysis of how the vote was distributed amongst the electorate., Age and gender are two of the elements (there are others) that are frequently reported on both for election...

Re: I’m being spied on

Tim - thank you - but no need for the apology. Your post is insightful and particularly describes what little we do understand about how our data can be put to use of one sort or another and not always to our benefit. To know that because of how you have been profiled you might be subject to a campa...

Re: I’m being spied on

That could be the simple answer. I have had a postal ballot for some time. This does not stop a certain party dispatching a volunteer to offer me a lift to the polling station because I have not been "seen" to attend. I diligently refuse to answer all questions about who I vote for when a...

Re: I’m being spied on

Do CA or any party have a better view of how I'm going to vote than me? Stuart Many media reports from people who were hacked by Facebook and CA expressed surprise at how precisely CA predicted what their political aspirations and their propensity to vote one way or another might be. Even worse was...

Re: I’m being spied on

A little separation - but relevant. The BBC do lie to us.. "An interview given in 1968 by BBC director general Sir Hugh Greene shows the BBC's policy of denial and obfuscation in action. To a reporter from The Sunday Times in February Greene blithely and misleadingly declared: "We have a s...

Re: I’m being spied on

For better or worse, the Labour Party is by some way the most competently run political grouping in LB Lewisham, and will have canvassers noting what has been told them, even if the People who told them have subsequently forgotten. They may make a few errors, but will at all times be well aware of ...

Re: I’m being spied on

Re: The Monstrosity - ie St Philp Neri school building

I am relatively new to this board and have tried to upload pictures without success.

I do not think you can upload a picture from your own pc/device.

You can link however to a picture that is already present on the web.

Admin can correct me if I am wrong.

Re: Queensthorpe Road Smart Bench

I thought this was a smart bench: https://www.highsnobiety.com/2012/01/17/smart-new-nike-running-park-bench-campaign/ It took two looks before I realised this was a bottomless and therefore seatless bench. A wicked infliction of a bad sense of humour on some hapless local residents somewhere - the ...
