The first record I ever bought was "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies. They weren't even a real band, just a bunch of cartoon characters from an American TV show. Fortunately my older sister had a wonderful collection of Beatles, Stones, Small Faces and Kinks records plus occasional forays in psychedelia with Pink Floyd and The Soft Machine. My Mam and Dad had some fantastic 50's records by Elvis, Connie Frances and Al Martino so the Dansette was always buzzing.

Thanks Michael - really helps.  I'm trying to help promote open source tree data. TPOs (as you doubtless know) are stuck between planning and greenspace services.  Couldn't find any TPO-related info in the tree labelling on Camden's map - how was it done when you were involved? Be nice to know a bit more about Camden - looks as if they wrote their GIS themselves in asp.net ?  I suppose there's no chance they'll move to a purely open source (i.e. not microsoft) solution is there?  Do you think they could be persuaded to make their tree data available via an API, ideally adding it to this list: http://opendatacommunities.org/doc/london-borough-council/camden ?

Hi,

I'm no expert but you can ask.

I tend to use http://batchgeo.com/ which is pretty straightforward if your data is in the correct format.

The only thing Justin Hinchcliffe is putting me off is him! I have asked the site administrator to remind him of the house rules and to back off. It still feels like snitching to the teacher but the man is a bully in my view

Hi Michael,

Tried to send you a message yesterday. Did you receive it?

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your reply,
However, no.9 Wightman Rd. was the first house next to the off licence, opp. St Pauls and is featured in some of the very early photos on the HoL site.
I lived there from about '48 for30 ish years, but now live in Somerset.

Kind regards
Robert

Hi Michael

Glad to hear you're interested.  I think the best I can do is point you to the old MPC website (it has recently been rebranded as MOPAC, but the ICV pages don't seem to have been moved yet).  On this page:

http://policeauthority.org/Metropolitan/partnerships/icv/get-involved/index.html

towards the bottom, is person spec (which I've cut and pasted below).  I think the most important is confidence - you need to be able to comfortably engage with detainees and to be able on occasion to challenge the police on findings.  Training is given, and there are three monthly Panel meetings where experiences are shared and support and advice is given.

 

Let me know if you need any more.

 

Johnny
