Sue

Help! I have a very tiny garden which at the moment seems to be filled with a swarm of very tiny flying things - midges? Every day they are there swarming around the middle of the very tiny garden. I thought midges were attracted to water. I don't have a pond. Should I not have put water out for the birds? :-$

And of course it's not surprising if you don't feel safe for a long time afterwards. But what Mikecg was suggesting was that "ladies" shouldn't go out by themselves late at night. That is, that people who - chances are - will never be placed in a dangerous situation should permanently feel unsafe in streets near their home late at night. That's a very limiting place to be in.

I'm very sorry for the person who was stabbed, it was an appalling thing to happen, but you can find yourself in a dangerous situation anywhere, including in your own house, and if you start brooding about all the possible dangers you may encounter in life you'd never do anything or go anywhere. My sister was knifed, luckily on the hand, years ago in broad daylight when she hung on to a bag someone tried to snatch. Maybe you think "ladies" shouldn't go out at all in London without a companion? Get a grip!

I had Asian flu in the fifties and lived to tell the tale :) That was the swine flu of my childhood :))

CPT. The Palmerston. Franklins (Franklyns?) for the bit at the front, but less so now they've binned their lovely sofa, and for their great draught cider. But hey, I'm probably at least twice your age so maybe you'd better ignore this :)) Can't believe how spoilt for choice we are now compared to when I moved here in 1991, when there was nowhere I wanted to drink :)

Thanks UP :)

So what happened?!

That's amazing, didn't think they were in this country, only one I have ever seen was in Venice

Have been terrible traffic jams on the 185 route between Camberwell Green and Vauxhall recently.

Passed it yesterday and it looked like it had. I did always think it wasn't in the right location there for the kind of thing it was selling, but sory if it has closed nevertheless. xxxxxxxxx Don't blame me, blame WOOF MarktheDog :))

But I must be very naive, I had no idea this stuff was set up, I know an ex-contestant, and she never mentioned that. I'm a bit horrified by the Sun and Doves thing, surely that's not fair - selling the skeleton made money for one team, and the outcome was decided on profit v value.

There's a screen just by the ticket office, isn't there?

Surely a child that age wasn't out on a bike on his own?

People who describe items for sale as "tasteful" and "attractive" when the attached photo shows they're clearly neither ......
