When I was at school we used to roll mercury around the benches in physics lessons. Which could explain a few things ... :))

The Ivy House is having an open day soon. Maybe you should go, katesonic. https://www.facebook.com/105277386183305/posts/2981024535275228/ You could find out what being a community pub is all about, and help shape its future direction. Meanwhile, perhaps you could share with us all exactly what you mean by your comments above referring to a brothel. You said: "My concern is that a local community resource has become little more than a 'brothel' of an evening. Judging by the way certain staff 'are' appreciated." As a community shareholder, I would like to know exactly what you mean by that, please. Thanks.

WTF? A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into saving The Ivy House from becoming flats. I have community shares in it. I run music gigs there. Lots of community things happen there.Lots of families and kids go there. Please explain what you are on about. Do you know anything about The Ivy House? Maybe you should have a look at its website: https://www.ivyhousenunhead.com/ ETA: their website is currently in a strange shape because their server recently went down and a lot of data was lost. I'm sure they would appreciate it if anybody can offer any help with that!

In addition, the household products I have seen being sold by these people are very very poor quality for the price being asked.

Somebody on another thread on here (I think, unless it was on Facebook) has said that you can.

That's worrying that somebody here wrote that graffiti in the first place, though :(

These people have been trying it on in East Dulwich for years. Yes it's a scam. Sorry!

I googled the York test. There seem to be quite a few disgruntled people on Trust Pilot .... Also there seems to be an issue over whether what it specifically tests for is relevant to IBS. I will do more research! I was already taking a prebiotic and a probiotic, but I have stopped taking Inulin pro tem in case the fibre is contributing to the problem. Whereabouts in Peckham is Naifs? (Edited because it went over the page, so it wasn't clear what I was responding to!)

What's a "delinquent centre"? Surely it isn't called that?

I did do quite a bit of research. Some of the stuff on Amazon had quite bad reviews, and some other stuff I found was way too expensive. But I will have a look at the things in that article in case they are different ones, thanks.

Good idea, but the room isn't big enough. The piece of furniture would make it impossible to get across the room!

Thanks, I did see those when googling, maybe I'll try one of those.

I have tried that, but it's really uncomfortable, and hard to hold the book up (especially the hardback version of Wolf Hall, which I am re-reading at the moment :)) )

Thanks, but I'd quite like it to be reasonably pretty :)

LM?

Sorry, ridiculous topic but I really need an answer! My bed is a futon with no headboard, and the pillow end is against the bedroom window. There is nowhere else in the room to put the bed. There must be a better way of propping myself up to read in bed than shoving several pillows vertically behind me against the window. I've googled but am none the wiser. I used to have some sort of triangular pillow from John Lewis, but I got rid of it, can't remember why now. The problem is sitting up propped up with pillows is giving me backache and I can't think it's good for my back. Does anybody have any bright ideas? I don't want to change the bed, which is very comfortable and anyway a headboard would look odd in front of the window ....
