JayJay near Loughborough Junction station advertise £13 on the front window for the basic - but they give a pensioner discount (or did to me!)

Quite impressive 43 page book dropped through the door this afternoon.
Contains the history of the Loughborough Estate and other things.

Like your picture - but made me wonder how it was produced. Like is it financed by advertising - perhaps no win solicitors who do repairs cases? I guess there may be only 2,000 or so copies required so maybe not too expensive anyway.
I looked at Our Services to see if it's downloadable but I can't find it.
The EMB website is however a model of visual clarity - obviously rejigged at some point to suit both mobile phones and pc/laptop.

It doesn't say how it was financed. But I think it came from the actual LEMB board.
There's so much info in it. Estate history. Financial stuff. The lot.
You can have this copy if you want it. It really is quite good. It's full of photos too.
Or if you'd rather I can take a photo of each page. And email them to you.
A couple more pages. And back cover.

Might be better to scan if it's manageable size (12pages A4/24 pages A4)?
There is one issue which excites me though (and has caused grief on the main Brixton thread)
The chair is shown as a Dr - would that be a Ph D from doing a course - or an honorary doctorate?
There are (or were) rules about representations like this. Honorary degree - Wikipedia
In this case (unlike most) there is no web audit trail to follow - either Twitter or LinkedIn.
Maybe it would be possible to meet up at Clarkshaws. I could borrow scan and return.
Or PM.

The latest (publicly available) Lougborough EMB return with accounts to 31 March 2020 is available from the Financial Conduct Authority. (IP27694R) Mutuals Public Register: The Loughborough Estate Management Board Limited - No honorifics. Of course they might upload the document you have to the FCA in due course - if it has audited accounts in it.
(It's the accounts that interest the FCA)
To me xsunnysuex your tenants' brochure looks more like when the Queen Mother opened Courtney Laws' BNCA Caribbean old peoples centre in Railton Road - and they did a commemorative brochure. I must try and find that - those were the glory days of Railton Road!

I've scanned the file - but at 37MB it's too large to upload in one go. Will try putting it into "chapters" as the report itself is split into sections. There are interesting tit-bits in there.Pmd you before I saw this.

Second attempt:
Part 1-report up to page 5 - signed by Dr Shorinwa
Part 2 -Lambeth Council try to "terminate" the EMB
Part 3 - history of TMO, list of chairpersons - including "Rt Hon. Dr Peter Shorinwa elected chair November 2011" and the fraud case acquittal
Part 4 - EMB initiatives etc.
Part 5 - EMB improvement works
I would caution Rt Hon (a title reserved tor present and ex government ministers) that Peter seems to be suffering from grandiosity. The more notorious example of this was King Ludwig II of Bavaria - who always put out a pineapple on the sideboard if he liked you. But it didn't end well.
I think I have captured everything. A most interesting document. Let's hope it's not another example of "the longest suicide note in history".

Ta. The survey is crap. They are more interested in you re-re-registering (already had an Oyster account and a Freedom Pass account, neither of which work for the survey). No doubt there will be lots of new surveys to complete in future now I have taken the plunge.Today is the deadline to comment on the TfL bus review

Good job they didn't have Lieutenant Commander Bill Boaks to contend with. Bill Boaks - Wikipedia
I reminded them of when the 345 was single decker and ran every 55 minutes - but I doubt they will listen.

Megalomania.
If you look at the 25 year celebratory report - which I posted above - you will see that the board does not have a Treasurer - rather there is a TREASURE and a VICE-TREASURE (page 1)
This organisation has been captured by a clique who are quite interested in self-aggrandisement.
The final moral degradation of dictators comes in erecting their own memorials before they are dead.
Jeez - I didn't know who he was so I googled his name, how demoralising and stitched up that all seems ... so sorry to hear

Not sure what I think about these popping up. There's one at the end of Barrington Rd. And one at Minet Rd. Tbh I thought from a distance someone had just dumped bits of wood there.

Anyone know if Network Rail have turned off the train information service to piss people off? Your UK Train Journey Planner - National Rail Enquiries
Or is LJ station closed or open but no service?
Both Saturday's and today's strikes were been called off.
Maybe a new wheeze whereby the staff have all phoned in sick?

I use Thameslink app. This is what's showing for the route I usually take.

Thanks - looks like it's closed. I was going to ASDA (Old Kent Road via Elephant) to check out some shoes.
I'll go to Clapham Junction via the 35/345 instead.

I was trying to get back from Farringdon station on Sunday. LJ. wasn't on the notice boards. Asked member of staff. She looks through her computer and wasn't sure. Couldn't find a train stopping there. But couldn't see why
I took underground to Brixton instead.
So reckon it was closed due to lack of staff. Be nice if they made staff aware of this so they could inform people.
I've had series of things like this recently. One was booked BT Outreach. Didn't turn up. Waited five hours and took time off work. Told to rebook. I had the temerity to ask why booking wasn't kept. Told after a while this was due to recent strikes, backlog of work and engineers can't cover it
Which isn't the point. All they had to do was tell me they couldn't make appointment and that would have been fine. I could have gone to work.
Same thing with Lambeth complained to my Cllrs about Lambeth contractors missing appointment (again). This time made a fuss as it's not the first time. And previous missed appointment and complaining was met with resentment. Must say complaining to Cllr works officers/ contactor been all over me contacting me about my claim for compensation. What I really want is for them to organise the work so they don't miss appointments.
I've a reputation with Lambeth for being in the awkward squad.
What I do feel with recent experiences is that If you don't kick up a fuss the way business works is that they will shaft you whilst taking your money.
Things should not work like this. And despite what Council think it's not something I enjoy doing. This kind of way of going about things is in public and private sectors.

I had a couple of questions about deliveries - esp since the GPO seem to have consigned both my subscribed copy of Private Eye and its first class replacement into the dustbin of history.
My neighbour (but one) came round yesterday searching for a signed parcel - which she hadn't received - thinking it had been left with me for some reason. On the other hand I have had the opposite experience myself - the courier firm Hermes - which is now re-badging itself as Evri - left an item for me with a neighbour, but they did also put a card through my letterbox so I could collect the item.
I'm wondering about the Royal Mail and Evri and Whistle. Has Royal Mail now lost the Whistle contract?
Yesterday I got a email from Hermes (Evri) telling me they were delivering "my package" between 7pm and 9pm [this is a Saturday]. I knew what it was - a book from Blackwell's about Donald Trump and the Fascist Alt-Right.
I took a chance that Hermes (Evri) would be able to find my letterbox, and sure enough on returning from my concert of Brahms German Requiem in St Peter's Streatham, there was the Trump Pedagogies of Hate book on my doormat (inside the door). Not only that Hermes/Evri had emailed me to tell me they had put my package through the letterbox.
A couple of weeks back the opposite to this happened. I had a jiffy-packed book via Royal Mail and the postman had decided not to put it through the letter box - I had to go to Wynne Road to collect it. Even though it was not a signed for item.
So my question is this - are the GPO losing their grip?
It's the second time in about 4 years they have fucked up on Private Eye.
And if Hermes/Evri can deliver on Saturday night and do all this emailing, how can they afford it?
Are their couriers on piece-work?
I would be gratified if Hermes/Evri were able to guarantee my Private Eye in a timely fashion - because Royal Mail can't. Or maybe it's the printers? Maybe the cover will still be relevant, but why am I still waiting 10 days after publication? Its getting like a bad day on Thameslink when the service overtake one another BACKWARDS. Over to Mr Smug-faced Hislop - AND Simon Thompson Chief Executive of Royal Mail (£596,000 p.a.)
