I'm wondering how 'Ladies' are different from Ladies :))

Ah, thanks, that's good to hear!

Bet it was quiet though :))

That's eighteen years in total for all of them. Not eighteen years each, sadly.

I didn't quote the first part of your post because it wasn't relevant to my point and I didn't want to clog up the page with unnecessary words :) I thought my point was quite clear? That we should be teaching children to stay safe on the roads, which is about far more than just "waiting for the green man". Quite apart from anything else, there may not always be a pedestrian crossing anywhere near where they need to cross. As I said, or thought I had, teaching children only to "wait for the green man" in every circumstance is counter-productive, as everybody with half a brain cell can see that if there is not a car in sight - nor likely to be within the time it would take to cross the road - "waiting for the green man" may be a complete waste of everybody's time. It needs wider training about identifying where a vehicle could come from unexpectedly (eg a side road or a speeding vehicle round a corner) and taking that into account when deciding when and where to cross - and indeed, whether to wait for the green man, which is mainly useful in circumstances on main roads where there is likely to be a lot of traffic. Surely once a child is old enough to be out by themselves, they are old enough to understand that? If they aren't, they shouldn't be out by themselves.

Ah, thanks for that, I shall get some and try - I like goldfinches!

I have a heated throw which I sit under when on my sofa. It heats me up without having to heat the whole room. It's brilliant. I wear a woolly hat around the house and have two duvets on the bed. Having said all that, I have turned the heating on twice since the Summer - and the second time was about ten minutes ago. I move the thermostat from room to room as I need to, though it's usually in my living room, and it is presently in the room I'm using as an office. Once that has reached a comfortable temperature I'll turn the thermostat down again. I do have thermostatic valves on all the rads, though. I don't like my bedroom to be too hot. Though in any case the timer on the thermostat is set so that the heating isn't on at night.

Apparently it "confidently terminates the terrace with a highly distinct proposition." :))

My eagle-eyed partner spotted THREE goldfinches in a tree overlooking my garden yesterday! Maybe the nigella seed I have been hopefully putting out for ages is finally attracting them .... The sparrows haven't returned yet though - I can hear them twittering away in somebody else's garden :(

Yeh I don't get it either. The father surely has a moral, if not legal, responsibility to help financially support his children?

ETA: And how do you know "people won't walk a couple of hundred yards"? How do you know where they live? And how do you know "residents have 2 and even 3 vehicles"?

Oh God it's the mating season again. I can hear them at it in my garden :( ETA: But not according to Google. Maybe they're just killing each other.

And I'm going to the Basquiat exhibition next week. Graffiti morphed into art worth millions of pounds and a show at the Barbican. Discuss.
