He seemed pretty kosher to me. Sorry, can't be arsed to think of a fish pun :))

Very sorry for your loss, and I don't know your circumstances, but I wonder if as well as having someone to talk to you also need some physical (and caring) contact? Do you have a relative or friend who would sit with you and hold you while you cry? Without trying to impose any "help"?

Did you not talk to them and ask what they were doing? Surely that would be more useful than asking other people on here??

Didn't take long for the thread to go off topic again, did it?!

Britannia Rescue use local garages and I've always found them very good, including for Homestart.

Sorry I posted a duplicate post

Ah OK sorry I misunderstood, thought you meant every litre of yoghurt was costing you ?20 :))

Depends what sort of thing you are looking for? My sofa was exorbitantly expensive from Heals, but I've had it nearly thirty years! Squint in Shoreditch do interesting sofas, but maybe not your taste. http://www.londontown.com/LondonInformation/Shopping/Squint/581b/

I quite liked that album when it came out :)) In fact I might still have it on a cassette somewhere :))

Ah OK, thanks

I used to make yoghurt in a wide neck thermos. You don't need any special ingredients, just a bit of ordinary plain yoghurt and milk. Then when it's ready add fruit or flavouring if you want. In fact I now feel inspired to start doing that again!

There are community dermatologists who your GP can refer patients to on the NHS. I have seen one in Herne Hill who was extremely thorough, spent a lot of time with me, and I was very impressed. I also didn't have to wait too long for an appointment.

It sounds like a great addition to Lordship Lane, really looking forward to trying it.

Is it still owned by Nick then?

In what way were the girls threatened? I would have thought it was an immediate police matter and not something to try and sort on a forum, not least because the longer the time elapsed the harder it becomes for the police to identify the men and take any action required?

Thanks ianr! I will stick with the Tube as the station in Oxford isn't very convenient for where I need to get to. I usually drive, though.

That's a good price. Did you need to get specific trains? I get a discount on the Tube due to my extreme age :))

Thanks for that, I was confused as well!

But if someone posted personal rubbish about you on a public forum, would you not want to respond? If not, then I admire your restraint. ETA: And let's hope that's the end of it.
