How do I smell?

I went into the Savers shop in W12 shopping precinct lunchtime and got told off for spraying a deo into it's lid to get an idea of what it would smell like (I know not an accurate way of doing it but gives you an idea).  When I asked if they had a tester was told no testers, when asked how would I know what it smelt like was told still cant spray them.  Sooooo..............does anybody have any idea how you are meant to know what something in an aerosol can will smell like?

Anti Social Drinking in Hammersmith

I picked up the message on the Acton Forum that Hammersmith and Fulham  published on 19th October a notice under Section 12 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 (which provides the Police with powers to deal with antisocial drinking in public areas that have been designated for this purpose by the local authority under Section 13 of the Act).This Order will cover the WHOLE of Hammersmith and Fulham from 1 November 2006.Does anyone else know about this one?   I am aware there is an order covering Ravenscourt Park area but not that it would be extended to the whole borough.

Emlyn Gardens

Does anyone know anything more about the proposal to put 13 portakabins at Emlyn Gardens for 4 years in connection with upgrading council property?   I have picked this up from a thread on the Chiswick Forum.

There are some great attractions and things to do and see in Hammersmith!

I was wandering along Hammersmith Terrace near Black Lion Lane late this afternoon (down by the riverside) and was fascinated by some of the places I saw.  That 30 minutes went quickly!I like Victoriana and so there were architectural delights to observe in each direction I looked!  They are three BLUE PLAQUES in one area for starters!Actually..this thread is just an excuse for me to hang up some of my photos. You can use them however you wish!

Fire in Rylett Crescent

Just seen the posting on the Chiswick Forum about the fire in Rylett Crescent on Sunday evening when one man died.  Oh dear.   Must have been terrifying for neighbours and awful for the family concerned.  I haven't been round the Crescent this week and it was the first I knew about it.

Free (and broken!) TOSHIBA DVD Player

Our DVD player has broken.  The player can no longer locate the DVD to play it.  I think it may be easy to fix if you have the 'know how'.  It's not worth paying to get it fixed ourselves as new ones are so cheap.  It's a couple of years old.  The model number is SD24OE and it's slimline and silver in colour.  I'm happy to deliver it locally to anyone who thinks they can make use of it.

Cardross St - Proposed Changes to Waiting Restrictions

Is anybody else for or against this daft idea?Extract from email to LBHF... I am staggered to hear your proposal, given the problems we had with Mr Khana et al when Zone L was introduced, and before that when you 'arranged' for 500 cars an hour to be diverted up Cardross St by installing a barrier at the northern end of Bradmore. I will detail my very many objections over the coming days, but for now please let me request further information. 1. How many properties in Cardross St have requested a double yellow line be implemented. 2. What proportion of these are residents on the western side. 3. I suspect you treat these letters in confidence, but would you be able to identify key residents who have written to you on this subject by name and number in order that there can be an open discussion between them and those who are against this proposal. I am particularly concerned if they have held thmselves out to you as being representative of many other residents. 4. Why has the Council's position on emergency access changed since Zone L was introduced. Then Mr Khana told us "the Council only had a responsibility to provide unobstructed access during the hours 09:00 to 17:00." 5. Cars already travel much too fast up the road during the day, even with the recent cushions. What further traffic calming plans will you have to bring in once the natural calming of evening parked vehicles on the western side is removed. 6. How many incidents of emergency vehicles being unable to get to their destination have there been since Zone L was introduced, by service. 7. Which emergency services have expressed concern about access. Please provide the names of the contacts in these services who will be able to confirm their concerns direct to the residents. 8. What additional security steps will you provide to increase the security for residents who now will have to park 'several' roads away, away from the watchful eyes of their near neighbours and out of earshot from their car alarms. 9. What alternative measures have you considered as a possible solution. 10. What consideration have you given to the change in the 'evening ambience' that turning Cardross St, the nicest street in the area into a 24hr race track.  11. What public website do you offer or point residents at where they may collaborate in their peer-to-peer discussions and with you on matters such as this. I expect to think of further questions over the coming days, but in the meantime I look forward to your prompt reply on these questions such that I may research the matter fully in time to reply to your deadline. Regards John SchwiillerCardross St

Advertising hoarding on Seven Stars pub

I've received a note trhough the door from Martin Scrutton (I think....apologies if I've mis-read the signature) pointing out that BPS advertising have installed a billboard on the Seven Stars pub, facing south down Paddenswick Road (towards Ravencourt Park).They didn't bother to get planning permission, and have only now applied for perimssion as LBHF have told them to take it down.I've sent the text below in a letter to LBHF, and would urge you to do the same.RegardsAndrew======Mr Nick FarrellLBHF Development Management Services3rd Floor, Town Hall ExtensionKing StreetLondonW6 9JUOpposition to Planning application 2006/02583.ADVDear Mr FarrellI am writing in opposition to the abovementioned planning application.  I understand that a previous application to erect a billboard on this site was made, and rejected, in the mid-1990s.  I cannot imagine that the arguments which were used to successfully oppose that application are any less relevant today.BPS Advertising have acted in an unsociable and irresponsible manner in erecting this advertising hoarding and knowingly breaking the planning regulations in a conservation area.I urge the Council to take a strong stand against those that seek to undermine their planning regulations as BPS have done.  If their application is allowed, I fear that they and other companies will presume that they can ignore planning regulations and get away with it, or at least, that they can act first and get planning permission later.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Yours Andrew Broadbent

Welcome to UK

A young Korean visitor walked out of our house tonight and was assaulted by three youths - the classic mugging - one held him, another punched him in the face, and the third took his mobile and laptop.  He and his Korean girlfriend were utterly shocked.  I took them down to the walk-in centre, where there were about eight people waiting, to be told that it would be four hours wait before a doctor could see him!  No point in asking them why.  "We're very busy tonight!"  I think they will be thinking twice about staying here to learn English.Police were very quick, but what could they do?  I wonder whether this will be reported on this site?
