Would the passwords be miraculously saved in their relevant places after a factory reset, which is what the effing stupid woman did instead of a system restore? I've had to put them all back in manually, one by one grrrrrr.
  2. Ah, come on, RPC, a close call? It wasn't a shark :))

    Chimney

    You could phone a chimney sweep for advice. I have two numbers (they're a bit old so don't know whether the sweeps are still going). Mister Jolly Chimney Sweep ("Fully trained, reliable, doesn't use children") aka Phil Byrne. 07752 130577 and S. Pearce 020 8699 3713/020 8857 6511
  4. You have my sincere sympathies (I realise that won't help). I have spent all day trying to get my laptop sorted since a Windows 10 update yesterday sent it haywire, and then John Lewis technical experts (hollow laugh) finished the job by walking me through what turned out to be a factory reset instead of a system restore, despite my frequent queries as to whether they were absolutely sure that this was going to take it back to where it was at 9am yesterday. They assured me it would and that all my saved passwords etc would still be there (another hollow laugh). They are giving me twenty pounds compensation, which hardly compensates for the nightmare day I have had (still ongoing). At least I keep clues to all my many passwords on a spreadsheet, GRRRRRRRRR.
  5. Yeh I suspect a fox. I once saw a fox walking from one car roof to another in my road (and on the same occasion, a different fox sleeping on a window sill :) )

  7. That's very heartwarming that people have donated to pay the staff's wages.

Armed police, police tape and an ambulance would seem to suggest it was relatively severe?

I just said it had been discussed in another thread. I would have given a link to it if I could be bothered to do a search for it. Why are you having a go at me?
  10. How sad, I love Brockwell Park, especially the walled garden, though it has certainly seen its ups and downs over the years (as has the Rookery at the top of Streatham Common).
  11. This has already been discussed in another thread .....
  12. Just seen picture. Bloody hell. Poor driver. Hope it's all sorted now.
  13. To throw in something else, I'm wondering about the "boy". What age are we talking about?
  14. Where was she found? Hopefully unhurt?
  15. Also Lordship Lane near the Co-Op and Dartmouth Road in Forest Hill (which I mistakenly went down the other day in a bid to avoid the roadworks at the top of Sydenham Hill. And was stuck there for a long, long time). Grrrrrrr.

I think ToastEd was absolutely fantastic when it started, but it went downhill foodwise, unfortunately. There's another thread on here somewhere about it. The food I had at Terroirs was perfectly OK, but it didn't want to make me lick the plate in the way that the food I had when ToastEd first opened did.

  18. Wouldn't it be preferable to inform the banks concerned? It's unlikely the person who has lost the cards reads the forum, but it's very likely they have cancelled the cards with all the hassle that entails until they are replaced ....

  20. We had lunch there during their soft opening. All very acceptable, and a nice wine was recommended to match our two quite different main courses, but we couldn't afford to eat (or drink) there often at their normal prices. I'm sure it will do well though, as it will attract people less skint than us :) The service was friendly, and we liked what they had done to the room where ToastEd used to have the big vats (?) of wine.
  21. At Grove (and probably elsewhere) you can apply for just half a full size plot, or maybe even smaller.

    Explosion? Thunder?

    Not thunder then! Nygel and I both heard through double glazing, a series of what sounded like explosions. Very glad if it isn't, but would like to know what it was.
  23. Anyone know what's going on?
  24. Thanks for letting us know. Hope you are feeling less shaken today. Horrible thing to happen, but great that people helped.
  25. :)) :)) :))
