Surely this is absolutely all down to taste, as Jeremy says. It might be more practical to have certain things, but if you prefer the look of something else, then you have to weigh up the pros and cons. I have wood worktops. I know they're likely to be impractical in the longer (or medium) term but I like the look of natural wood. Oak. Nice long lengths not little blocks stuck together. It's not that big a deal to look after them! And I know built-in ovens blah blah would be more practical for various reasons, but I like my new range cooker, even if I have to bend down to put things in the oven/s. Unless there are really mega practical reasons to go for something you don't really love, listen to your heart (old hippy speaking :) ) You've got to live with it day in day out. Do you really want to have something that makes your heart sink a bit in the morning? Put your two choices side by side and see which is "the biggest yes." Then go with that and just forget about the other one.

I think it's a brilliant idea. I'd use it :)

Thanks Cherry Tree, that's useful! Looking forward to trying your food!

What a lovely idea :)

Will there be a choice, or will there for example only be one starter available? And if so, will you be putting what's on offer on your website each day? Only asking because I'd hate to come down looking forward to lunch and then find it was something I couldn't eat (without horrible results :)) )

I assume the council has large, rodent proof bins :))

Do you have to book a table for lunch? And is the lunch offer from the all-day menu, or is it another menu which isn't on the website yet?

That's just reminded me of a hotel in Penang where my then partner was confined to bed with a fever so if we wanted to eat together we had to eat via room service. When one meal arrived there was a large cockroach clinging to the underside of the tray. Then there was a place in Alice Springs where we were lying in bed and cicadas were dropping onto the pillows from the air conditioning. AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH :(

I have found Plusnet generally good, and their customer service is excellent. They are also relatively inexpensive. I also don't watch much TV and only have Freeview, so if you don't want any more than that I can't see much point in paying for a TV package. I have a Topfield box which my daughter gave me when she moved and had to change to satellite, and I find that quite adequate for recording stuff. It will record two programmes at a time and you can watch a third channel while it's doing that if you want. ETA: You might well be able to get something secondhand free or very cheap from somebody who is upgrading.

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 :(
