Putney Film Locations

I’m compiling a list of films including scenes shot in Putney. Those I have found so far (and found Putney stills from) are, in chronological order: Fahrenheit 451 & Four in the Morning (1965), The Magic Christian (1969), Hoffman (1970), 10 Rillington Place (1971), Sitting Target & Tutti I Colori del Buio (1972), Theatre of Blood (1973), The Big Sleep (1978 remake), True Blue (1996) and Love Actually (2003). Does anyone know of others?

Timings here slightly askew

Some messages on here show up timed an hour later on the overall listing of items, compared to the individual listing. A 10.02 message becomes 11.02 on the listing. It is not consistent though.

Have Putney Lib Dems already broke electoral law?

The Liberal Democrats in Putney have been reported to the electoral comission, following allegations that they sent out dodgy leaflets alleging YouGov had polled Putney and put the Lib Dems in second place. YouGov have confirmed that the poll is false and the Lib Dems have been misrepresenting their polling.Wow... this is astonishing... As a remainer I will be voting LABOUR and FLEUR ANDERSON. I won't be lied to by orange tories!Sources:(Adam Bienkov) https://twitter.com/AdamBienkov/status/1192044683742056449(YouGov) https://twitter.com/anthonyjwells/status/1192051093699747840(Guardian) https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/05/liberal-democrats-accused-using-misleading-data-election-material

Light bulb moment - of despair

Just a reminder of how relatively simple and intelligible choosing a light bulb used to be:-"An incandescent bulb typically consists of a glass enclosure containing a tungsten filament. An electric current passes through the filament, heating it to a temperature that produces light.Incandescent light bulbs usually contain a stem or glass mount attached to the bulb's base which allows the electrical contacts to run through the envelope without gas/air leaks. Small wires embedded in the stem support the filament and/or its lead wires.The enclosing glass enclosure contains either a vacuum or an inert gas to preserve and protect the filament from evaporating." (With thanks to Bulb.com)Bulb, filament, inert gas. Now:-https://www.homebase.co.uk/ideas-advice/lighting-and-electrical/light-bulb-buying-guide

Could Farage Still Become An MP?

I've been thinking more about NF not standing as a candidate in the GE and would like your thoughts on this?Recently quite a few MPs have switched parties with impunity so what would stop Farage changing his position too? He could campaign countrywide as planned and determine which seat is the strongest for TBP to win. Then at the beginning of December the existing candidate could step down for 'personal reasons' and Farage could step in and take their place. Would this be permissible under electoral rules?  It doesn't seem right  to me that Farage should give up his best chance to become an MP and I and many others want him in Parliament, so would my cunning stunt work?

electric scooters

Can our local police please do something about these scooters?  I understand that they are illegal and can only be used "off road",i.e., not on roads or pavements,  so why so many in Putney? On one day alone, I saw at least 5, on the pavement and on the road.  Not only illegal, but dangerous too!

new speaker

Appears to be a man with integrity, which would be a bonus.  One of the few MP's who has remained silent as to whether he voted Remain or Leave in referendum..Anti Heathrow.  Pro Diana. Wants more moderate language to be used in H of C.  On balance seems credible.  He certainly couldn't be at Bercows low standard. A daunting job ahead,hope he succeeds

What paper do you believe?

Not the Daily Mail, the Daily Express, the Sun or the Daily Telegraph, as demonstrated in these figures on rulings for inaccuracy in 2017 by the press regulator IPSO:
