Lidl are (mostly) brilliant, and excellent value. There are some things I wouldn't buy there again though - can't remember what, so that's useful :))

After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, the surveyor now says "I can categorically confirm that the cracking could not have been caused by any structural work in connection with the loft conversion - because in those areas (I presume he means the areas of the cracking) there are no steel beams and no cutting into the party wall." Should I accept that, because I thought the whole point about the "loading spread" was that cracks could appear in other areas away from any actual steel beams or cutting?

Could this be something to do with the fact that it's been recently swept? Has the sweeping dislodged something?

And she was dead pan funny > indeed > > Why, what's your point ? xxxxxxx From your post it wasn't clear (to me) that she was indicating pride in her heritage and comic wit. I thought you were stereotyping Jewish people. If you weren't, then I apologise. Please forgive me, I'm currently quite unwell and my brain is mush, so quite likely I missed the subtleties. It's a long time since I've seen a Woody Allen movie, and I've never been to Manhattan, though not sure how either of those things are particularly relevant. But maybe that's due to the brain mush too :( Oh, and for those who constantly have a go at me for putting in little crosses to distinguish whose post is whose, the part in bold above is why :))

Just seen a photo of Sugar Mountain with a blackboard outside advertising "hot drinking fudge." What's not to like? I'm there! Drooling already :)

There are two advertised for sale on the forum at the moment.

As I am also obsessed by dogs, this has made my day. Not quite sure in what way, though :)) http://www.maisondog.co.uk/#!concept/ct4o

I got a really nice one in the hospice shop recently. Sadly they only had one. They have had a few since then including a set of four. Depends how fussy you are about design.

Farmers have them, don't they? The shop on Lordship Lane with all the brushes and household stuff outside.

Aren't all your contacts, emails etc synched? I don't see how you could lose them just because you temporarily don't have them on the phone. Or is it not an Android phone? And apps you can easily reinstall, "your" apps should all be listed online in one place? I did a factory reset on my phone for a different issue, and it really was a lot less hassle than trying to sort the initial issue!

Would a factory reset really be so disastrous? Might be quicker in the end than fiddling about trying to find a solution to your problem?

Top of a church??

No different from spotting cars coming in both directions though surely? Or have I missed something?

What happened to the previous chef this time? And is there a new manager too? And is it still a gay bar? ETA: My popcorn at the ready too :)

That must be causing genuine posters some aggravation when they don't realise why they can't upload their posts!

Siduhe Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Excuse spelling of k1tchen. Banned word I think. xxxxxxx How weird. There's a whole thread around that word in the family section, but you're right, I can't post the correctly spelled word on this thread. Admin?? Some glitch?? (That should eliminate some of the possibilities for the ban .....)

Having had a trip to Curry's in the Old Kent Road (thanks, I never even knew it was there!) I am now toying with the idea of a Rangemaster cooker. Has anybody used both built-in and range cookers, and if so, any thoughts? I need to cost it all out and see how they would fit in to the plans, but basically at present I have a kitchen/diner with a tall double oven/two cupboard fitting which I'm almost certainly removing as it divides the room (always saw this as an advantage, but everybody else seems to think it makes the whole room look less spacious!) so I'm not sure that a range cooker would take up that much more space than a five ring hob ( I want a wok ring) and a built in oven. Also I was going to have a single oven plus a combi-microwave, but a range including two ovens and a grill would mean I wouldn't need the combi-microwave, which takes up a lot of space. I'd go for dual fuel - gas hob and electric ovens. Interested to hear people's thoughts - having spent a bit of time googling pros and cons today!!
