What sub-genre?
I didn't go deeper than the front page.

Misery porn of course.What sub-genre?
By the way, forgot to mention the staff of St*rbucks next to the station gave free coffee to people on the RMT picket line yesterday. Fair play to them.
Why would they want to poison those on a picket line?

*Liked (through gritted teeth!). I imagine that wasn't a big boss approved action, mind.By the way, forgot to mention the staff of St*rbucks next to the station gave free coffee to people on the RMT picket line yesterday. Fair play to them.
Fair enough, one shouldn't sniff at solidarity.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Lambeth Living are fucking useless.
Fob for communal door malfunctioned this afternoon, called their main switchboard and an automated message informed me that they were having problems with their telephone system and i could get cut off at any moment but their IT department knew about the fault and they were working on it.
Managed to get to speak to someone who mistakenly directed me to Olive Morris House, staff at OMH correctly informed me to go to the local neighbourhood office which isn't fucking local.
Got to the "local" neighbourhood office and was informed that no one could operate the machine that reprograms the faulty fob neither did they have any spare ones. They would not contact the Estate manager by telephone on my behalf. I was told i might get a replacement fob sometime next week.
Got back home, a neighbour was also locked out of the block, we only got in because she buzzed through and someone was at home.
I've paid for the faulty fob, every week i fucking pay for it, every year for the last ten years. Approximately £3 per week, over £1,500 since the useless door was installed. My neighbours have paid as well, Lambeth Living/Council have had over £62,000 of our money and don't have a single spare fucking fob or anyone to trained to reprogram the faulty fob.
I would not be surprised if someone interferes with the mechanism of the shitty door.

boohoo
No.
In the block my friend lived in, the door to the building was often broken due to people forcing entry. I think maybe they aren't the answer to security.

All my dealings with Lambeth Living have been painful - responsibility always shirked.
That happens to this door as well, even the magnets have been removed on several occasions. I'm not even going to mention the vehicle blocker that has not worked for the last three years. Leaseholders don't want to pay for repairs so it remains broken.
boohoo
No.
These doors were being broken by the kids or anyone who wanted to get in the building - this is over 20 years ago. There must be an alternative - like maybe no front entrance door?
I go out of my way to avoid any dealings with them, it's not that the staff don't care some of them do but it's so frustrating and almost impossible to speak to anyone that can get anything done. Lambeth Living? I have seen more life in a block of wood. The responsibility thing, you are bang on the money with that comment.
The block i live in had a chronic crack problem approx ten years ago, as did many blocks on many estates. The door helps but is easily defeated by naughty types. It's money for old rope for Lambeth Living.
Anyway, i'm staying in tonight, central heating on. I hear there is a massive storm coming. Tomorrow can take care of itself.
boohoo
No.
If people want to get in or out by any means possible they will!

my sympathies are with you. Technology is great until it fucks up. What's wrong with a good old fashioned security key??

People lose them. Or even better, drop them down the lift shaft then turn the lift off.

aren't key fobs just as easy to lose?

Probably.
There is no way to please all of the people all of the time. If someone drops their key or fob down the lift shaft its the council's fault for having a lock or entry sytem and lift. Guaranteed.
I knew you wouldn't be fobbed off with that nonsense.
Yale regret this.
