Rather than replacing a sash window with one with acoustic glass, I'm considering having secondary glazing fitted on the existing sash window. Has anybody done this? If so, was it effective and who did you use? Also how does the cost compare with replacing the window? Thanks for any help anybody can give!!! It is a bedroom window and I would want still to be able to open it, however it might be a trade-off between noise reduction and air :(

I hope cat shop.

Gurkha's Flavour in Forest Hill is good value on a voucher, though :) But my point was about the flowery language used rather than the offers themselves, which are occasionally very good.

"Nestled in the hip but quintessential London village of East Dulwich sits the historic Victorian Parisian bistro, Le Chardon" This is in Time Out's "Today's Great Offers". Tried to link to it but realised I was just linking to my email inbox :)) ETA: Well, clearly somebody is taking the piss .... :)) But is it Time Out, or is it Le Chardon?

Parts of Four Lions were very funny. But mostly it was absolutely heart-wrenching. Why on earth has this thread been revived three and a half years on?

I think it's going to be a competitor to Maison Dog in North Cross Road. Selling solely cat-related items :)

Plane noise and cyclists. But the plane noise isn't as bad as my neighbour's boiler going on and off while I'm trying to sleep :(

Is it just me who doesn't know WFT this is about ?? :)) ETA: I mean WTF, lol :))

I could forgive all the plane noise if we still had Concorde going over - at around 5pm if memory serves. But we don't, so I can't :(

The Dog House now has quite a bit of stuff in the shop. Cushions with dogs on. China dogs. Diamante dog collars etc.. When is it opening?

Soda water and a splash of lime. Lots of ice. Yeh drop of bitters if you want to make it taste more, er, bitter. Roll on November, eh?

Pretty Pregnant I think :)

Too much information ...

Actually I now find I had misunderstood. Apparently it's not that the seals (I can't think of another word, lol) go yellow, it's that they deteriorate with time and heat leaks out of the cooker and turns the white coating on the cooker yellow. Or something like that anyway. No jokes about jaundiced sealions please :) And the cooker shop says that baby oil is OK on stainless steel fridges etc, but not on cookers :(

Thanks Andy, I've PMed you.

:)) Funny but unhelpful :))

That's what Rangemaster just told me, but does the baby oil actually stop the fingermarks in the first place? Because if not, you've still got to keep wiping them off, haven't you? I'm not particularly houseproud, but I think this might drive me mad(der) :)) The problem is the only other colour I like in the model I want is white, and I've been told the seals go yellow and look terrible .....

I know some ovens etc now come with fingerprint proof stainless steel finishes, but the cooker I am thinking of buying doesn't. Am I just setting myself up for endless aggravation and constant wiping down of fingerprints? Has anybody bought one and now wishes they hadn't??

The bus starts at Putney Heath. We got on at Putney Station, about two stops later. It was travelling to Peckham. The speeding was between Putney and ED. I imagine he was anxious to finish his shift and get home.

It was one of the last few buses of the night, and it arrived at Putney station more or less at the time advertised on the bus stop.

I have no idea whether the bus driver was at fault in the accident described on this thread, but I was on a 37 (ie the same bus route) late on Sunday night and the driving was so dangerous that I have reported it to the bus company. The driver drove much too fast for most of the journey from Putney to ED, sometimes on the wrong side of the road, and had several near misses. It was quite frightening. Has anybody else experienced this kind of thing? Have they got recruitment problems, or something?

That sounds really terrifying, hope you feel better soon nlem, I would have freaked out too :(

Just belatedly read this piece, whilst avoiding doing urgent things. Loved it, thanks!

Hi, I may be interested depending on prices. My daughter runs something similar in Oxford using Infinity Foods, and their prices seem to me to be high. Maybe Suma is cheaper? I couldn't see any prices on their website, though there is a lot of information about the products.
