My grandson signed up to take part in this event last March for charity. Obviously it was cancelled, rescheduled for May, again cancelled. They then said they would reschedule for September. My grandson couldn't do that date or any other within the year because of work (having to go away on course) we asked for refund for the 3 tables booked ?1500.they said OK less admin. Now they are saying they have had to pay to venue so cannot refund. Surely this is illegal? Any advise?

Can anyone recommend or let me know average cost to have artificial grass laid. Either supplying and installing or just installation.

Does anyone know of any Electricians or companies that take on apprentices? Looking for a very hardworking determined and reliable 17 year old. Tia.

I have the bottle box etc. The bottle did not pop when opened and the cork did not expand. I can 're insert it into the bottle. There is a minor amount of the wine in the bottle and it certainly doesn't smell as it should.

I recently purchased Lanson Rose Champagne for my daughter's 40th. At the venue of her party they poured the champ. When I received my glass I immediately found it was bitter. On inspecting the cork you could see the bottle had been corked. A friend if mine said to make a complaint to the wine seller. I wish I had poured the wine back in the bottle but didn't think ontime and it was thrown. I have since called the shop concerned and they dismissed me! You can see and smell the cork to see the problem. I'm not happy with their attitude. Wouldn't mind if it was a cheap wine.

Thats Amore in kirkdale. Excellent food and service.

While London Mayor Boris Johnson is being cheered over the Olympics and boosted in the polls, London?s Fire Brigade is being cut and dismantled. The London Fire & Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) has had its budget cut by ?29.5million next year and by a further ?35.3million the year after. In total: ?65 million. With the cost of operating a fire station with one fire appliance at ?1.4m per year, this means 15 fire stations and appliances are at risk of closure. Up to 25 next year could close next year. For context, there are just 112 fire stations in London. In just over a year 35% of London?s stations could be shut down. Labour?s City Hall Fire spokesperson, Navin Shah, sent out a statement this week saying: The mayor needs to come clean on fire brigade cuts. This isn?t just an academic debate about numbers, if there aren?t enough fire engines in London then they will not get to incidents on time. As we all know time is a crucial factor in saving people?s lives. It is disgusting that the mayor and government are making these cuts. So far, the Conservatives are refusing to elaborate much on what they would close. Mayor Boris Johnson previously ruled out frontline cuts to fire services, but will now u-turn on his promise. The London Evening Standard has barely covered the issue, but broadly remained painfully silent.

The price for single ticket in may was ?70 return and that the price I paid, price now is ?150+ but I'm Not cancelling and rebooking I'm asking them to change a name of existing booking! Why should I pay again for seething I've already paid for! Standard practice or not, it's immoral!

I recently booked a flight to Glasgow, circumstances are that my husband can't travel so I asked a friend to accompany me! Called easyjet to cost the change of name! Now bear in mind the cost of two seats return to Glasgow ?147.00! How much is it to change a passenger name? I ask. Reply ?35 each way then ?83.00 for the difference in price total?153.00. How can you charge me for difference in a price I have already paid I asked? Company Policy was the short reply! this is extortion and immoral in my eyes, am I wrong?

I think Ive found a good company, Mason Green, good recommendations.

I live in fairly quiet street and when my kids were small probably upto teens they played and socialised in the street! Sadly I don't see it now, admittedly there aren't as many youngsters about aroubd here now but there are some and it is sad that parents don't feel that they can let them out to play! Children need to learn a bit of independence and to become a bit streetwise! My street isn't a run through so could easily be closed off for a play period! Mind you commuters who park here and get bus or train are a problem!!

We attended a childminders fun day last week in the picnic area, when we were walking back to the oneO'clock club we were verbally attacked by someone with their dog because we asked that it be put on a lead as some on the children were frightened of such a large dig running free! This is a constant problem there and Dulwich park! In a public area surely all dogs should be kept on a lead?? I know this is off the subject but it makes me really mad!

I need recommendations for airport transfers! We need 6-7 sweater that can also accommodate luggage as well, most mpv's can't take 5passengers and luggage as well. Also need reasonable price.

The water feature is a joke! Did the planners not realise that water does not flow uphill?? It was on yesterday but as you say the path was clogged with leaves and silt! The outside toys do leave a lot to be desired tho! very scruffy. But apart from that it is a resource that is needed. Yesterday it was packed, where are all those toddlers going to go if and when they close the groups!

Again job cuts under another guise! I've heard about the new building at Peckham but that was supposed to happen last year! They were supposed to be moving to another site! Thanks Renata it will be good to know exactly what's happening! I've asked Wendy Heller but all I got was we would be informed in due course! I have used these clubs for over 30 years and would hate to lose an important resource for the community!

As a childmInder I charge ?50 per day 8-6pm includes 3meals per day plus snacks and group fees. Also included outings. I would normally charge ?7.50 per hour for school pick up but as previous message this does depend on whether this restricts on whether I need to fill a full time place. I expect to be paid holidays but these would be negotiated with parents holidays if possible. I'm not paid for sickness usually but that again is negotiated. I am paid for child's absence either holidays or sickness. I am registered to look after 3 children under 5 and 5 children under 8. I usually will only have two children so that they have my attention at all times.

They have been cut to alternate days! Peckham this week monday Wednesday and Friday! Next week Tuesday and Thursday. So when Peckham closed Leyton square is open. Quite frankly I don't think it is good enough!

It's Peckham Rye, Leyton Square, GMH( imperial war museum) and Southwark Park. They seem to have kept it very quiet! I understand they are staggering closures from start Of school hOlidays. They will all be closed by end if August!

It has come to my attention that all Southwark play areas are closing this summer. The premises I believe are being taken over by Children Centres and will not be open access. None of the one o'clock clubs have had any notices put up informing parents of this. My thoughts are that if they reopen they will incur a charge for each session and will be restricted. If anyone has any more information or can shed more light please do so.

We have similar problem in junction of Thompson and Landcroft! Gang of youths standing sittin on the corner chatting shouting arguing til early hours most nights! They have played football at 3am! What do you do? Confront them, they then know where you live! No point in calling police, they don't bother! Council noise people won't cone out!

I've heard it's all kicked off again in lewisham, Peckham and camberwell? Can anyone confirm?

My son is a firefighter, he is in clapham, fire in shops with gas canisters! They were pelted with rocks! Scumbags! Police commissioner(acting) says parents to get their children off the streets! That'll work then!!
