LA Fires - Inside the Burn Zone Now

This guy on YouTube has excellent and interesting content. If you're looking for something to watch, it's worth checking his content out. The latest video is on the LA fires and what it is like now, and he goes down many angles, including the rebuilding and the insurance route. Believe it or not, even homes not been burnt down are not inhabitable due to Toxicity inside and under the homes. One big factor in the toxicity they are now finding points back to EV cars. I've included the latest video below,

Kew The Music - OTT security policy

Word of caution for anyone planning to attend Kew The Music - whilst their pre-show blurb clearly stated that large kitchen and bread knives were not permitted, it made no mention about bog-standard metal cutlery knives - which the jumped up "Security" personnel were clearly enjoying confiscating.The world has gone mad...

Rivercourt Road Closed Off?

Has anyone else been caught by the camera here? LBH&F have made the turning into Rivercourt Road off the A4 permit only. But the signs which tell you this are totally obscured by trees, and if you realise just when you've turned into it... then your only option is to reverse out onto the A4. Really badly and unfairly signed. Anyone else?

Living In-House with an Elderly Person

My niece has been living with my elderly mother for nearly 2 years but is leaving soon, to relocate to the north of England.Mum is currently self-sufficient but finds it comforting to know that someone else is around the house most days. Does anyone know if there are agencies of some sort who match and vet homeowners with those wanting a place to live?

The M&S refurb has begun

I swear the final (sourdough) baguette can't have been cool before the trucks were on the High Road offloading materials and setting up what I suspect is an anti-traveler barrier? Let's hope the builders don't move onto another job, as is often the case (or maybe that's just my bad luck).

Dawat Devonshire Road

Anyone been yet? I'm a bit miffed it doesn't serve beer (or any alcohol for that matter), and you can't BYO either, so I'm keen to hear whether it's worthy of a (dry) visit. Call me a philistine if you will, but a curry sans beer feels a bit weird (at least to my palate).

Getting a grip on "The Weeds" and Gunnerbury Park Events

Two of the topics to be discussed at the Chiswick Area Forum to be held at St Pauls Grove Park - 7.30 start but doors open from 6.30 pm for the informal part of the evening. There will an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions. This is a good chance to see your councillors in action and decide if they are worth voting for next May.

Another incident at Fishers Lane South Parade junction

Not sure what happened here but it looks like there has been another collision at the roundabout near the underpass. This picture was taken yesterday evening at around 6pm A cyclist was badly hurt at this spot a few months back. In my experience the principal risk is that a lot of drivers don't know that people turning right into Fishers Lane, including cyclists, have priority.
