They hire it from external companies for events they are involved in - at enormous cost to the council tax payer.

I was there the night you fell out with Jamie, and I think you need to tell the whole story on here if you are going to insult him in public.

You'd need to check with your insurance company which ones are acceptable to them. Hope your puppy is not too traumatised (and of course you!)

I guess this is due to budget cuts, but it's very sad. It reminds me of what happened to South London parks (and probably others) in the Thatcher era, when everything was contracted out and went downhill fast. The walled garden in Brockwell Park and The Rookery at the top of Streatham Common were prime examples.

I thought they were legit too. It was a young man who came to my house tonight - I didn't see any others. However I object to being approached by chuggers in the street, let alone in my own home, and I particularly didn't welcome them knocking on my door after dark (8.30pm), even though he was perfectly polite.

Sorry then, I think ours would be too small. I'll PM you details of someone else who may be able to help.

How big a system do you need?

Fox, it was a JOKE.

There was to be a book coming out about the house, anybody know whether publication is likely to be soon?

The police appear to have dealt with this really appallingly badly. I am sure you probably don't want to add more stress to what sounds like a really frightening experience, but I wonder whether there is some complaints procedure? Too late for you, but it might help somebody else. How can they just not turn up for appointments? Also, did they not offer you any kind of support? I can't remember what it was called, but when I was once burgled when alone by myself in the house, I was offered some kind of counselling by the police. I didn't take it up, but had I had a horrendous experience like yours I might have done. ETA: So - they're not checking for potentially helpful CCTV images. Instead, they're going to wait until this guy makes "physical contact" with somebody. Oh, great.

They were graded A B C D E (for passes), and I thought A was over 70% etc? If not, surely grades would vary depending on the quality of the student cohort (is that the right word?) in a particular year in any particular subject? I have a totally crap memory though so I may be completely wrong.

Hooray for the bear! Felix Baumgartner eat your heart out!

The sooner we do away with cash the better, in my view :) Provided it isn't going to disadvantage anybody, obviously.

Bloody hell :)) They weren't that big :))

Oh, thanks. They look far too big to be carp though, they're absolutely enormous! Aren't carp basically just large goldfish?
