Used to be like that in Greece, don't know whether it still is. But I don't think they left out the stairs!!!!

There's also Camber Tennis Club, on the South Circular opposite the old Grove/Harvester pub building. http://www.tennis-at-camber.org/

Can you sort your website Cherry Tree, because I still can't get onto it :) I've just tried again ......

When I had to do a factory reset on my Android phone recently after the upgrade to Lollipop sent it haywire, I backed up all my texts using this app with no problem at all, and then downloaded then again after the factory reset. I think my texts are now being automatically backed up. I presume I could download them all onto a new phone if I wanted. Sorry for my stupidity, but I can't see why you'd need anything else, given that using this app is so quick and easy (and free)?

Far too much of a coincidence I'd say, if there's no other way your names and phone numbers could have been linked. I'd make very intensive (not sure that's the right word) enquiries at The Practice if it was me.

Though that would of course be nice for The Cherry Tree, however probably even better if said potential customers could actually find the info they are looking for :))

There is also a beekeeper who has hives on Grove Allotments. If you still need someone I can PM you her phone number if you let me know. But there must be loads of info on the internet if you google??

Cherry Tree, there's a problem with your website: "The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to bandwidth limit has been reached for this site. Please try again later." :(

Are you sure the black dots weren't bed bugs?!

Hey BNG you are yet again a star! I'll send it you, thanks so much :)

I've attached the ad as it's appearing in the pdf editor, ie with no text :(

I need to edit a pdf file which is an ad. The deadline is 5 September (for the October/November issue of the publication) and the person who usually does this for me is away till after then :( The layout will be basically the same, but there are quite a few text changes. I have just downloaded a free pdf editor (AbleWord) but when I open the pdf in it, there is no text appearing. I thought this might be because it is white text on a black background, but I've changed the text and background colour and still no text is appearing, just a logo strip down the left, and the Facebook and Twitter logos at the bottom. Can anybody tell me what I might be doing wrong, or suggest another free pdf editor? I'll attach a screenshot of what's appearing in the editor, but I'll have to do it in a separate post as apparently the two attachments are too big :(

Was that the only criterion the council used in deciding to award Conway the contract, then? Price? Because that seems a rather short-term approach. I once worked somewhere which did that. They had windows fitted by the cheapest quoting contractor. The windows had to be replaced within a relatively short time. It would have been cheaper to pay more for higher standards in the first place.

If someone is working from home they might well welcome an occasional break from staring at their own four walls, whilst still needing to carry on working. However I do think it is selfish to hog a table for hours with one cup of coffee when others are needing a place to sit. But some people have always done that, except it might be with a book or whatever and not a laptop.

We also dropped in last night. The place has a nice feel, the staff were friendly, and we had an excellent pint of Brakspear and a pint of something from a local brewery (sorry wasn't my pint so I can't remember what it was) for ?7. We had intended eating but weren't really tempted by the particular menu on offer last night, and thought many of the items were priced on the high side, however we will try again! We will deffo be back for drinks, anyway. Good luck Cherry Tree, hope you thrive, start of a whole new era :)

Same here, except that the peelings go in my compost bin to make compost. And bread will freeze. You can slice it before you freeze it and use a slice at a time. You can separate the slices with freezer sheets, can't remember what they're called, so they don't stick together. Same with things like bacon. And if you have too much meat or fish to eat at one sitting, you can cook the whole lot and safely freeze half (or more) of the cooked dish.

Toss-up between a place I once stayed in Brighton which had a used tampon in the drawer and a B&B in Manchester where breakfast was almost raw boiled eggs and a glass of fizzy lemonade.

You could not > make this up. This is absolutely ridiculous. I have a query about the tendering process. What are the criteria for choosing contractors, and is the process transparent? Are we allowed to know who else has tendered and why Conway are chosen each time? And who in the council is ultimately responsible for this decision? Because the ability of Conway's managers to actually project manage appears to be, let's say, limited.
