My laptop keyboard is reversing @ and " and when I type one symbol, I get the other. It is not an actual keyboard problem as the same thing happens with an external keyboard attached. Having googled I have gone into the control panel and run through the things to apparently sort it and - they haven't. The settings show me as using a standard qwerty UK keyboard (although I'm not sure that is the issue) but this is still happening. Can anybody more techy than me (not difficult) help? I moved to Windows 10 from Vista quite recently, so am still trying to find my way around some of it. ETA: This has only just started happening, and I only noticed it when I attached a new external keyboard, but I can't think the two things can be connected? I put back my old external keyboard and that is now doing exactly the same thing. I'm wondering if I've accidentally pressed some weird short-cut, but goodness knows what.

The Ivy House welcomes dogs at all times, and has a sign up to say so. There are usually several dogs around the place, in fact sometimes you have to be careful you don't trip over them :) It's probably because people go in there after walking the dog on the Rye or in the park, as it's just round the corner.

One person's shitehole is another person's pub with character, Fox. I liked The Wishing Well, but I can see why it had to go. Not very keen on the Victoria Inn though.

That's true! In which case I'm not sure how such high prices can be justified. I suppose it's supply and demand.

Yep - no beer at all. And before it's demise, much of the time it was almost completely empty ... So sadly, like the late lamented CPT, the writing was on the wall.

Do you absolutely have to eat out that day?

Well, mine is now all bottled up ready for Christmas presents :)

We saw it the night before, and if you didn't know it was supposed to be particularly big, I'm not sure you would have noticed.

My migraines were virtually completely sorted by a magnetic wriststrap. I bought it originally for arthritic symptoms and it wasn't for several months that I suddenly realised I hadnt had a migraine for ages I was so impressed I actually started selling the wristbands, but I don't any more and no longer have any connection with the company. I don't know if it is still going but they were called Bioflow. It needs to be a band with two magnets, a main one and (I think it's called) a relay. Don't get a cheap one. Let me know if you want more info. It also sorted the arthritic symptoms. Oh, and sceptics - they also work on animals (not for migraines obv) so no, it is not "all in the mind". ETA: They don't work for everyone. I gave people their money back if they had no improvement after three months of wearing. I only stopped selling them because the company was sold and the ethos completely changed. I still wear one and I still have no symptoms. I think I've had maybe two migraines in over fifteen years, and I used to get them regularly. I used to get medication on prescription.

The one on Deptford was repeated last week. Also fascinating, but very sad :(

Unfortunately the vast majority of places will be extortionately priced for Christmas lunch. I think it's fair enough given the staff are giving up their own Christmas lunches (that's assuming the extra money goes to pay the staff, of course).

What a pain. Shouldn't you tell the police anyway? There may well be others who have had their wheels nicked around here, but they may not look at this forum or see your post.

I pulled her up on it :) Although to be fair they were running an organic farm and felt very strongly about all things organic :)

Pathetic. Why do you come onto this forum, exactly? Why do you bother reading other people's posts? Why don't you find some "real adult" forum to post on, and leave us "so called adults" to post on this one?

He may not have a missed call, but the call will be on his call record ..... He will be able to put two and two together ..... Especially when the caller finds out that Tristram has not in fact left the organisation ....... Tristram will never know who took the call, though...... :))

Sometimes there are very few stalls there at all.

And also, midnight in London on a Saturday night - even in lovely gentrified East Dulwich - I'm not sure I would have stopped and taken my chances with who might have been involved, tbh. Though I might have stopped further down the road and called 999. I agree that hooting is not helpful, but some people are just incapable of sitting in their car for a few minutes, eg in a queue for lights, without feeling the need to hoot. They're probably like this when not driving as well. Just be thankful you don't live with one of them (hopefully you don't .......) ETA: Glad nobody was hurt.

red devil Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I wonder if the Super Moon has brought out the > Lupine among us... It certainly seems to have brought out at least one rather nasty person - and I don't mean Jah Lush, who is a very good chap, to use a dated expression ....... ETA: Although said person seems to be kind to squirrels, or at least doesn't want them to die in cruel and unnatural ways .... http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1747517,1747517#msg-1747517

And if you are old and a bit unsteady when walking, and don't have great reactions any more, and perhaps don't have great eyesight either, and can't save yourself easily if you slip over on wet leaves, what then? Or are you suggesting that everybody who fits that description should stay inside their home until Autumn and Winter are over?
