I send very few actual cards through the post. Obviously the downside is that you don't have a card to display, however there are other sites where you can send digital cards which can be printed off. You can't do that with most of the Jacqui Lawson cards, because they move :) It's also much less time consuming, because once you have the contact email addresses saved on the site, you can send the same card and message to a lot of people at once.

Pugwash, this happened to me once and it turned out that the meeting had been set up so that only a certain number of designated people were visible. It was the Ivy House shareholders' AGM and only the committee were visible. Everybody else could see and hear the committee, but couldn't be seen or heard themselves. Would it be worth checking with the meeting host whether this is the case? I spent a very long time trying to work out what was wrong before I twigged. Or rather, somebody else did and told me!

Why is this thread in the Covid section?

A couple of times when my boiler has gone dead it was because I had accidentally switched off the switch on the wall which is for the ignition (I think. Something electrical to do with the boiler, anyway). I moved my bread bin and hadn't noticed it had knocked off the switch. May be worth checking?

I've quite often seen them on the Thames (from the South Bank). Maybe they are visiting from there?

I thought this was going to be a thread where forum members could say what they collected, eg stamps :))

I really sympathise, and definitely get written into the party wall agreement conditions about radio and other unnecessary noise, and also working hours. When my neighbours on one side had their loft extension done, this happened and all was fine (apart from the expected noise of the actual building work), however when the neighbours on the other side had theirs done, the party wall surveyor forgot to do this, though I had specifically asked him to. As a result I had issues with a roofer (in particular) playing a radio which I could hear loudly at the other end of my house with all the windows closed. Being retired, I was in for much of the day (it was pre Covid). It was the same loft company as the other side used! It was sorted in the end, but not before the roofer in question was incredibly rude to me. Also, I wonder if you have thought about finding somewhere else to work, assuming we are not in lockdown in February? Not ideal obviously, but I think that new place on Lordship Lane has spaces to work, or else the library or a cafe? Good luck. I really feel for you. Just seen this: /forum/read.php?9,2168087

Why did the restaurant allow the party? Have I missed something? Have they apologised too?

Funny, that's just the sort of thing Steven Taylor would say.

You could ask Quick Print in Maxted Road for the bound draft copy?

What dentist do you go to, malumbu? I always used to get a scale and polish as part of my check up, but they seem to have stopped doing it.

The place in front of the cricket club opposite the old Harvester is there again this year.

All over now. Apparently the guy is safe. Good news.

Apparently somebody threatening to jump off KCH roof 😭 Apparently the hospital is blocked off.
