Thursday 26th Feb.7.00pm at Rye Books

For more than a decade, Peckham writer Guy Atkins has collected postcard messages sent by the Edwardians. In 'Come Home at Once' - one of The Bookseller's magazines favourite books of 2014 - he shares the very best from his collection.

From the tantalising, to the hilarious, to the downright shocking, Guy's extraordinary cards shine a light on what was truly a postal phenomenon.

In his talk this Thursday at Rye Books, Guy will explain what made the Edwardian postcard such a sensation, how the Post Office came to be delivering a billion cards a year, and what it really meant to tilt your stamp...

Free event.

Coffee, tea, and cake and some delicious mulled cider will be available!

best wishes,

from all at Rye Books

  Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not the chicken. Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention chicken thigh fillets. TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time". £14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking? TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.

  Thanks to all for the advice, very glad to have this community for these enquiries. Here is how it got resolved in case its useful for anyone in the future: I had ordered some garden waste bags, and when the Veolia person came around I just asked them, and they were more than happy to take it no questions asked. 🙂

  I keep seeing a thread 'missing cat', but you've been found. Not sure if all would consider that a good thing. Not a lot new happening .... When you back in Blighty?

  In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage. 1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts. 4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.
