Sorry. ETA: Please don't be offended if it is all above board.

Google Howdens. Might be enlightening. Was a Guardian (I think) article about them a few years back about their rather variable pricing.

Surely it's just something dropped from one of the zillions of houses with builders in round here?

So do I :) ETA: And you would not be far from LL anyway, walk or bus.

Thanks malumbu, I think I will investigate the Shaw Trust place first, it's a very worthy cause.

It's for putting on paths to keep weeds at bay, prior to putting down bark chippings :) I keep in a supply of it :)

Thanks. It won't be a model, just a flat mock-up of the top of the lid. Sadly I don't have a big enough piece of cardboard to do it in one piece, so I'm going to have to tape several pieces together :(

Well I haven't actually done the cardboard thing yet, though I've got as far as bringing sufficient bits of cardboard back from my allotment. However I've got an email from John Lewis which says no problem with turning the freezer on its side to move it, they will install it into the exact place it needs to go, and if at the end of the day they can't fit it in they will take it away again and refund my money. So all good. (Though I don't have 100% confidence in John Lewis, having had some issues with them before ..... ). Now I'm going to paint the walls and floor under the stairs before I order the freezer ..... I did try and do the cardboard thing with garden canes cut to size, but as could have been predicted, that was a dismal failure :))

:))

Does anyone know where I can get new or reclaimed scaffolding boards locally which the supplier would cut to size for me? Or else pressure treated timber similar to scaffolding boards, also cut to size? And at a reasonable cost? I've found a place on the Isle of Dogs, but I'd rather somewhere more local. They are for raised beds on my allotment.

I?m much too old Ah, come on, I'm ancient and I like it in there, and one of the reasons is they play good music, so - unusually - I don't care if the music is loud! The drinks are expensive though. I wouldn't go in there just for a drink. ETA: When I say "good music", I mean of course, music that I like :))

Yeh, I noticed that the other day. Please please please don't bring back the Harvester, it was horrible (in my opinion).

The staff in Franklins are lovely, in my experience, and the drinks are not expensive compared to other places round here. The bar menu is also very reasonably priced. They have a fantastic Welsh Rarebit for about seven pounds. The music is never too loud. KK, we have gone into the Great Exhibition a few times lately and come straight out again because of the noise level. At least in warm weather you can sit outside (and get smoke blown in your face, but that's for another thread ....)

We found Quick Print very expensive compared to other options, at least for what we wanted printed (double sided A5 flyers on card).

Franklins or Palmerston, I reckon, if we are talking SE22. Both nice places to have a drink, too, even if you aren't eating.

That's weird, because I had to train a whole load of people when the legislation was brought in, both in my own company and their clients' companies. http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1841
