"Assistant" in more ways than one; the job description says duties include tea making and all for 7 pounds an hour :o So, a 7 hour shift would reap the princely sum of 49 pounds yet they want 'high competence in IT, project management and/or administrative skills'. What planet are these pe...

At least two more arrived last night.

How long would it take if they piled into a Royal Park? Of course we are mere subjects paying our council tax yet have to endure the slow process of the law.....

meanwhile the mess is getting more out of hand with each passing day.....

But perhaps somewhere in between is needed as bidders have no legal protection until exchange of contracts in England, and vendors can unaccept an offer at any stage up to the point of exchange without any penalty.

They were burning what looked like some toxic material today in the middle of the back car park.

My sympathies IB203, the painful truth in a rising market is that you are forced to keep going higher. Dont listen to the clowns advising to wait for the crash.

Seems like a massive council estate at Prospect Close?

No, surely not, can't be compared to the Essex situation as its a much smaller number of caravans and they can only ever see a car park like this as only ever a short term measure?

So, we are up by 50k in the last month????

Yes they are in overflow car park, dogs and kids running around. One caravan has what looks like a 42 inch widescreen tv in it.

Never heard Sydenham high street so quiet. Hope the cyclist is okay. A copper told me he was in serious condition.
