My heart lifted > everytime I saw it. xxxxx Same here. If memory serves, it used to come over around 5pm, so sadly I wasn't often in to see it, but it was great when I was. It was so sad when Concorde was grounded, what a beautiful plane.

I now feel inspired to construct a Bee Hotel :) though one this size would take up most of my garden!

FFS, I make a reasonable comment based on previous posts on the thread and you start having a go. What's your problem? Are you trying to drag up a previous thread, because I'm not. ETA: It's pointless speculating about what happened, however the OP said she was told that the child was left alone. That doesn't mean he was, as somebody else has pointed out. Do you have something constructive to add, DJKQ?

You could try GigCB though they veer towards Breton :) but hey they're local! Contact is Chris Shaw, 0794 026 9223 If they're not suitable I'm sure he'll know of other people. Alternatively, Two For Joy, an offshoot of The Magpie's Nest, runs lots of ceilidhs/barn dances, mainly in North London but they've just extended them into South London, I'm sure they'd know of suitable bands for you. Contact them via their website http://www.themagpiesnest.co.uk I think the guy who organises the dances is Joe Buirski, but my memory's crap so I may be wrong :)) If not, Sam Lee can put you in touch with the relevant people.

If it's true he was left alone in the house, what on earth was she thinking of?

In a previous thread on this subject, I believe it was said that the flight plan varies depending on wind direction? Or that it was varied to give residents of different areas some respite! Can't remember which though :-S

You must have been really really unlucky fluffy, we've always had excellent meals, quite large enough portions, and very friendly service. I guess ambience is subjective, but I've always liked the atmosphere in Ganapati.

Curry Cabin was excellent when we first went to it, then there was a sharp deterioration and one night we had an extremely poor meal and were actually told the chef was drunk :)) Haven't been back since. I've never had a bad meal or takeaway from Dulwich Tandoori, I'm very surprised at what you say left-e. I think the management would be mortified if they knew. Did you contact the restaurant?

This is probably a very stupid question, but what happens if there is a rainstorm and my tub overflows? Will all the taddies get washed away? My solar fountain has arrived this morning, and has a back-up battery, hooray!

Bloody hell, this isn't the philosophy group :))

computedshorty, poor Herbie, afraid it did make me laugh though :)

You could ask them for details of these properties which are supposedly under offer, and check some of them out?

Excellent - well done! I like the Foresters on the map, takes me back :)) Ah, that pungent smell wafting from the Gents as you walked in (that's the loo not the clientele ....)

Thanks, according to the website yes you get change back in points. But for this particular department I can only use vouchers in multiples of ?10 so I'll only be able to put ?20 towards it anyway, and pay the rest in cash.

That Tesco is a tiny little local Tesco which only sells food. I don't think this thread is relevant to it in the least, and had I put it in the ED business section I'm sure it would have been lounged. If Admin think it should be in a section relating solely to ED, they can move it there. Why are you so concerned? ETA: If you look at the link, you will see this is about things sold by Tesco like clothes, electrical goods etc etc. OK I expect you can use your tokens in a tiny little local Tesco, but that isn't what my thread is about.

Good luck, and at the end of the day what matters is that you love the kitchen you end up with :)

Katie, thanks so much for that piano thread, I haven't laughed so much for ages :)) :)-D

I was going to get an Ikea kitchen, but when I went to look at them again recently I was amazed at how the quality seemed to have deteriorated. I mentioned this to the guy who has just done my bathroom and he said yes, I always used to recommend them to clients, but in holding the price steady they have reduced the quality to compensate. He no longer recommends them. If you like John Lewis kitchens, apparently (judging by posts on various online forums about kitchens which I have been reading avidly) they buy them from another manufacturer rather than making them themselves, and you can get the identical kitchen very much more cheaply by buying directly from that manufacturer. Actually, I think there's two, depending on the range in question. I don't have the info handy, but if you do a few googles you should be able to find out. Also google eg "kitchen reviews". There's a lot of info out there. ETA: Sadly the kitchen I like is from Fired Earth. Anyone know of a (much) cheaper source?!?!?

It is being renovated by a Housing Association and turned into flats (I think!)

I rarely shop at Tesco, but I do have a Clubcard. Every so often I get sent vouchers, and I just assumed they were probably all long past their sell-by date, apart from one or two I've used in Oxford. I certainly don't have them any more. BUT via info from a site from the MoneySaving Expert newsletter I've just found out I've got ?14.50 worth of still useable vouchers, dating back to May 2009!!, and not only that but through some system I don't understand, you can double the worth of the vouchers up until 5 May for things you buy either online or instore, and you don't need to have hard copies of the vouchers!. I've got ?29 worth which is lucky as my microwave has just stopped heating or defrosting anything and I need to get a very cheap one very quickly :-D Some things aren't included but microwaves apparently are, hooray, and there's one for ?33! Though the amount you can use in vouchers varies from department to department, and in this particular department you have to use multiples of ?10, so I'll have to spend the other ?9 elsewhere ..... Here's a link to a page explaining it all, but I don't know whether you have to sign into the site first to get onto the page. http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/clubcard/bigexchange.asp#bottompane You have to go into "my Clubcard account" to find out what you're owed, ignore the bit at the top which may tell you you have ?0, you have to scroll down to the section headed "Vouchers you still have to spend".

Hope and Greenwood's Butterscotch, and Honey and Ginger, icecreams are both very yummy, and only a pound for a reasonable sized cone - the nice kind of cone, not the wafer kind.

The original post was talking about a planning committee for a street party in Lordship Lane. That isn't happening.
