Oh that is sad, not been up that way for years but I grew up on Forest Hill Road in the 80's/90's and we were always in the post office, buying sweets and renting videos. I wish them all the very best for the future.

Done, best of luck.

Spaghetti bolognese, with the bolognese bit straight out of a tin, just heated and poured on to the spaghetti. Tinned sardines on toast. Birds trifle mix. Tinned fruit cocktail with tinned cream. Boil in the bag 'cod in parsley sauce'. Cup-a-soup. Sardine and tomato paste sandwiches. Frey Bentos steak and kidney pudding. Jelly with tinned fruit set in to it with 'squirty' cream. Iceland used to do beefburgers with cheese inside them, I still remember how good they were (I suspect they were nowhere near as good as I 'remember'). Sour milk in a glass bottle that genuinely put me off milk for life (OK, not junk food but had to add as the scars are still there).

Ah, thought that may be the case!

Was the Imagination library thread in the Family Room Discussion area an accidental victim too?

If your leave year runs from April-March, there are only 7 bank hols this tax year.

Excuse the Daily Fail link but this happened last year, was just a mile down the road from the latest incident and bares similarities: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5197493/Homeowner-killed-drunk-burglar-cleared-murder.html

Quorn, Pytchley, Albrighton and all the blocks on the DKH estate are names after hunts. The estate and roads were all created in the 1930's, I presume as the kennels were for hunting dogs, this is the link. .

Household green.

Kebab & Line.

You can be excused if it is within 2 years of last doing it. I've just been summonsed for the 4th time!

For anyone who may have missed the huge sign by the station entrance, we will indeed be having another M&S. ...You wait 4 billion years for an M&S and then 2 come along at once...

The 2 women who often go through the bins on our road only ever take clothes.

My first reaction to that post was exactly the same as yours... Then I realised this thread was started a couple of days after the Grenfell fire.

No personal experience, but know of one family very happy with the school who have been there since the start.

Possibly the same one we can hear on Ivanhoe Road New Girl? Sounds like it's coming from Copleston Road? It's now 1.50am and the music is still loud, there's a woman with an incredibly loud laugh and an man shouting along with the music... Not 100% sure where it's coming from either though.

Hospitals won't take soft toys, only toys which can be wiped clean.

Bessemer Grange. A genuinely lovely school, my oldest will be starting year 6 in September, very close to Red Post Hill.

We have a daily bin searcher, she seems to favour our bin over others in the road. I'll pop out and send her down to yours if you're feeling left out.

I don't have knowledge of the trees but the park is not very old at all, it was created at the same time Sainsburys was built in the early 1990's, before that, all of the land was sports fields, so I suspect Blackcurrant is correct in that they were put in for the ornamental value.

For cods sake, all these puns are giving me a haddock...

Surely I'm not the only one to find > this a really offensive comment? I don't find it offensive at all (lived locally my whole life). If you're looking for somewhere like John Lewis and get sent to the Old Kent Road (B&Q, McD's, Asda etc) you're going to be disappointed aren't you? I find OKR 'urg' even though I know it well!
