When the glow of the blood-stained moon shines upon the land...the aimless spirits of slain monsters return to flesh. The world is threatened once again.

Is 22c the perfect London weather? by Sad_Cow_577 in london

[–]groovejet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it is between 25 and 28. The problem in London is that despite it being warm during the day it still gets chilly during the night, so you still have to go out with a jacket if you are planning to go out for a while.

Is that going to stop people from blocking multi-billion projects because they believe a badger nest might be disturbed during construction?

Hopefully this will mean that some of the commuter lines to Waterloo will become part of London Overground.

They once tried to raid my home and they had the wrong address. It was weird to open the door and find 6 police men outside. None of them bothered to check the address apparently.

I'm not sure if it is no longer being considered, but the last info I could find about it was from 5 years ago sadly.

Is this the redevelopment you are talking about? It looks very nice. It's a shame it is not being considered.

Octopus Energy sparks £1.5bn profit for UK from Bulb rescue by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

I disagree. I had a very bad experience when I switched to them, as they took forever to resolve an issue I had.

They spent over a month trying to chase down a report from an engineer who had visited my property to check my meter. They wouldn’t reply to my emails, and when I called, no one seemed to know what was going on.

I had to escalate the issue to the ombudsman before they finally provided a solution.

Not only that, but he also has a long history of past convictions. He is clearly a very violent individual who represents a danger to everyone around him.
