Oil protestors

What planet are these people on clearly not this one….we are all aware of the need to change how we abuse the planet but seriously all these people are doing is making life even harder for folk to go about their business, lock them up ha!

Artemis 1 Mission launch today 13:33 BST

Exciting times. I was not even 3 when they stopped the Apollo program missions. This is an unmanned capsule (Orion) to go round the moon a few times testing mission elements and return about 6 weeks after launch.  Something about Shaun the Sheep as UK mascot on board but I've yet to work that out how and why fully.  Surely Wallace and Gromit would have been more fitting as they have actually already been to the cheesy moon.

Cat still missing !

Large, black cat (white underbelly and white paws, white spot on face, has 2 different coloured eyes - is old!) lost from Blenheim Road, W4.Last seen top of Fairfax/Addison Grove W4 11pm 28th August. Possible sightings - Woodstock/Addison road area.Very concerned as we have only had him a week so he will be disorientated. He’s friendly, but will be very scared and hard to catch.Please call if you see him, I would be so grateful. Leaving food out could also help as could  mean he would return as will be hungry by now. Sheds, bin stores etc - could he be in these?Tel: 07801541796Many thanks

Burst main at Bedford Corner

There appears to be a lot of water at Bedford Corner just opposite St Michael and All Angels Church which I would guess comes from a burst water main. If they need to dig up the road to fix it things could get interesting if Acton Lane is still closed.

£3 tickets at the Chiswick Cinema this Saturday

The local cinema is participating in National Cinema Day this Saturday (3 September) which means it will cost you just £3 to see a film there. It is a good opportunity to see inside The Chiswick Cinema if you haven't already done so. Some of the chains are also taking part in the day including the Vue Cinemas at Westfield.There is a booking charge if you buy tickets online but it might be an idea to do so because there might not be enough left for walk ins.

Traffic light sequence SCR/A4

I had the misfortune of being in a taxi waiting to cross the A4 yesterday and had time to count the timing of the traffic light sequence.  I was astonished that there is only 13 seconds on green for cars on SCR yet on the A4 it’s just over 2 minutes.I understand the desire to prioritise the movement of traffic on the A4 but this is ridiculous and is clearly one of the main reasons for the horror show at the moment. Which authority is responsible for this ludicrous decision?

Soft Plastics recycling facility available at M&S Chiswick.

Diligent recyclers will be pleased  to hear that the local branch,at last, has a collecting point for soft plastics.. at the rear access to the store...where your bagged up soft plastics can be deposited.A bag of such plastics should easily be assembled by many households in a week!The good point is that M&S, we can reliably assume, will sort out unsuitable plastics (etc) and despose of it responsibly... ie in months to come it won't be floating in the Mediterranean Sea or English Channel. Up till recently only seven M&S stores in the UK tested this Scheme... the nearest to W4 being Tolworth,Surrey... and it has now been extended to dozens of M&S stores. See google.For their own reason the Chiswick Branch "hides" their Collection Point at the back door.. whereas at Tolworth the "plastics  wanted" bins are just inside the front entrance.There's a pleasant feeling when you deposit your used plastics  in this way.And when you see shoppers with their green M&S bag in hand you know you've been helping the world.There is no requirement for your plastics donation to be from an M&S products either. You can pack your delivery  in a Sainsbury or Tesco shopping bag if need be.When that UK long distance Ocean swimmer completed the challenge to swim from Cornwall to Kent ..his greatest hurdle was coping with plastics in the Sea.No excuses now. Bag it and deliver to M&S W4 back entrance.

RÜFÜS DU SOL Gunnersbury Park

Is that where the music is coming from. Not sure if its the conditions but now and then the loudness and thumping feels like the earth is shaking and im on the Avenue. Why do i get the feeling locals to the park are not going to be happy. Its like someone turns the amps up now and then for about 5 secs

Bye bye Glasshouse, Kew

I’m so sorry to see this go.  Had some fabulous meals over the years and it was so nicely situated and convenient to reach.

You put the right one in, you put the right one out ...

The Sunday Times claims today that many backbench Tory MPs are seriously considering submitting letters of No Confidence in Liz Truss the moment she starts. They would then urge Johnson to stand in the subsequent leadership election.Entertaining as it is to watch the Conservative Party spontaneously combust, there is a country to be run.

Minor outdoor repairs

We need someone to replace part of the frame around the side gate to the passageway between us and the house next door. I think it's just standard timber, painted white. No architrave or anything fancy.Also need repairs to the front fence which consists of short upright posts between top and bottom rails. Some of the posts have rotted and need replacing.I tried a carpenter who said no, it's a job for a fencing firm; the fencer said no, try a landscaper or general builder.Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Virgin media issues

I am a resident in the Southfield road and I have Virgin Broadband. I have total service loss almost for a month without any reasonable explanation. Is it only me or any neighbor also experience the same issue?
