Agree with what people have said, I don't find it a warm or welcoming place to sit as it is at present and a change in the decor and tables would definitely help.

Hey, has anyone ever seen long-tailed tits in ED, they're my favourites. Used to see a lot of them when I lived in Oundle, they used to come down to my bird feeders, but my garden was backing on to a little wood. Would love to see them here.

Of course it's always particularly upsetting when people die relatively young, but there isn't a particular time you're supposed to die surely, unless you subscribe to the three score years and ten theory? I didn't know Meryem but I'm so sorry for her family, and the family of the other young woman cyclist who died recently.

That's a bit worrying.

Yes you definitely can to the Thai Corner Cafe - they charge corkage but it's not a high charge. > >

That's interesting Fuchsia. Cynically, maybe the NHS don't care - being able to tell staff they get the "benefits" of local discounts, it makes them look like a good employer, and what's it to them if the businesses involved are getting lied to and ripped off?

Sorry, post deleted, I think I must have posted on the wrong thread, though who knows how? :-$

I was stuck on a 176 :-S But too lazy to walk :))

Sounds very similar I must say, but Medicare do have a glossy website with NHS and DVLA plastered all over the homepage. Sounds a similar pitch though, "only three of your kind of organisation" and "must sign up today."

One of the things about wrens is that they have very thin beaks, which are quite long in relation to their tiny bodies, or always look that way to me. Also "rounder" bodies than pied wagtails I think. And I think they are completely brown, not with a white flash anywhere. But I don't have the energy to look up my bird book :) I love wrens, had one who used to be about my (very small) garden a lot a few years back.

Write to a councillor. They'll have to provide you with a written explanation within a certain timescale. They'll make sure they get it :)

Erm, no, what did it say?
