Alan the locksmith is a STAR: he changed my locks about two months ago and made me feel secure in my home after a couple of unpleasant experiences with builders and tradesmen - then, today, when I thought I'd had my keys pinched after leaving them in the door, he said he'd be round within the hour, even though it was a Saturday evening. He really is wonderful, kind and re-assuring and his prices are very reasonable too.

Colin the Handyman is just such a nice chap too - pleasant to have around, worked quietly and efficiently repairing my fence, putting up some Ladderax shelving, curtain rails and other bits and bobs. And again, reasonably priced. I'm sure I will use him again!

Having had some very unpleasant experiences with builders recently - no fun at all when you're a woman living alone - Alan and Colin restored my faith. Decent, honest people who are good at what they do as well.

Their number's are:

Alan - 07870 199771

Colin - 07754 691541

  Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers. When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.

  Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor

  Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer.

  Happy to recommend Greg. Lovely guy and a really hard worker, high standard of work, clean and tidy too. Greg sorted out a tricky water tank problem in a tight space in a loft, staying late into the evening to get the correct parts and fix the problem. Thanks Greg!
