The Mind shop in ED sells stuff from places like Primark, and most of what they have on display is neither designer nor exceptional - in my opinion anyway :)

That's good news, but what were the grounds of your appeal? Seems a bit random if they have upheld your appeal but are fining others?

I get loads of sparrows in my garden, counted about fifteen at one point over the winter - and it's a very very tiny garden. Never get any finches though! Maybe they have different stamping grounds in ED :) Quite weird though, a year or so back I had zillions of starlings on the birdfeeder, since a bird of prey got one in my garden they've all disappeared.

Oh no. I used to read a greatly missed (by me anyway) comic called Oink in the eighties (edited by pigs) and Frank and Little Frank were among the highlights ......

Seems a bit harsh to judge/stop using a whole shop because of the actions of one assistant. They're volunteers, anyway, aren't they?

So next time you're ill, you'd like the GP to turn you out of their room bang on the time of the next person's appointment, regardless of whether the examination/investigation of your symptoms has finished? Yes?

Oh please no, that's just round the corner from mine :-S

Well I thought it was a great idea. If a bit confusing when people started swapping them around after a few drinks :)) ETA: Katie, :))

I know some people didn't like doing it, but I preferred it when we wore sticky name labels - I have a terrible memory for names and faces and therefore can often appear rude when I don't recognise people :-$ Also easier perhaps for people going for the first time.

It always looks so > busy! xxxxxxx The Thai Corner Cafe is relatively cheap, and you can take your own wine or beer in which makes it even cheaper. However (in my experience) the food isn't that great and the portions are so small it's the only place I've ever eaten where I came out still hungry after a starter and a main course! I've lived in ED since it opened, and I've been there many times over the years, but I've given up on it now, sadly.

Brilliant birds. xxxxxx Go to either Peckham Rye park or the woods up by the Harvester and you'll be very unlucky not to see at least one. You'll certainly hear them! Though they're more easy to spot when the trees don't have leaves on :)

Who was caring for who? Or is that a question better not asked? :))

So do I.
