Hello?

Mr Ant,


No, I am still here. I have no social life, and am officially a (sob) 'rugby widow', although quite why he had to leave the house at 10.00 am this morning for a match that didn't kick off until 3.00 pm didn't really make sense to me. Being a trophy wife is not all it is cracked up to be.


The most excitement I have had all day was cleaning my diamonds in a big glass of Gordons Gin!

Was he watching it down the pub? Somehow I suspect he's more of a corporate-box type of chap. But a 10am start in order to nab a good spot in the boozer is not unheard of. Perhaps a tad extreme though.

I think everyone, me included, has been enjoying the glorious sunshine this weekend.B) Dulwich park was overrun today - the number of people made it seem more like a hot August day and there were big queues at both ice creams vans.


Those ice cream vans give you a good insight into the manners of Dulwich children. Once I was in a very long queue in the park for a lolly and when a dad asked his adorable darling which ice cream she wanted, she replied "All of them!" - I kid you not!


I even went in the garden and started doing my spring pruning today. Good weather also forecast for next week - hurrah!

I was there too, Ko. Along with everyone else from miles around, it seems.


To be honest, it was all a bit much for me. I just wanted a quiet, relaxing walk. Instead I got caught up in crowdaggeddon at the swings.

Pressed the wrong link and came to the earliest thread on this site. If we ever think EDF is dull nowadays see how awful it was then! Are any of the original posters still around to defend this view. PS this is a facetious post so don't get on your high horses.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
