I thought kids were banned from 'Le Chandelier'. It is no more of course.

Wimpy wasn't great.

What? Why do you think mrs Robinsons is leaving? Hope not

I think they mean Townley Toad, not Turney. And yes, it should be Calton Avenue.

There are also specialist companies which will take it back to the brickwork, but that is very expensive. They have to replace some bricks and repoint afterwards (see: http://www.mahonbrickwork.co.uk/).

It can be. You have to remove any loose pebbles, or areas where it's blown. so there is a certain amount of removal. But the areas which are sound can be rendered over. We had ours done a couple of years ago (I think) and it's all good. At the front, where it's not just a flat surface (Victorian features) we had to remove the PD first.

We got ours 'flat rendered'. On the front, this involved removing the pebbledash and having it re-rendered. On the rest of the house the pebbledash was rendered over. The whole thing was painted white and looks sooooo much better imo. It was expensive mind.

Southern's profits rose 27% this year.

Wow, this is an odd thread. Firstly, I don't think it's fair to criticise the nanny for allowing a child to run ahead of her. You can't keep children constantly by your side. Secondly, it's wrong to speculate either way on what may or may not have happened. Clearly the nanny thought something was amiss and as the only witness, you've got to give some weight to that, so best to be cautious. That said, based on the account, it is possible that all was not as it appeared and so we shouldn't overreact either.

Amazing website. Thank you.

KK - Christmas has many and complex origins. Older traditions and beliefs have been co-opted, appropriated and re-framed by religions, by commercial organisations, by literature and embedded in secular 'traditions'. Fundamentally, most people are not deeply religious, if they're religious at all, but most tend to celebrate Christmas as a shared, cultural event. It's no bad thing IMO. I bet you 'celebrate' the world cup, or whatever happens to be your bag. It's the same, in that it's a time that everyone joins together in a collective, cultural ritual or celebration.

What dogger said. It's usually so they can email you on your birthday with a special offer / freebie.

Driving is not a crime,or some kind of moral deficiency. People need to stop being so judgemental.

Brexit will mean Brexit and it will be red, white and blue.

I am so over 2016. I want out. Come on Christmas move your ass so we can get this year done and enjoy a little time off before starting a new and hopefully less ridiculous year.

It's hard to know what the right answer is there. It's a complicated junction. I'm no expert, but the proposal for 3 roundabouts seems a bit odd. I imagine it would just be more confusing / dangerous. I wonder if the real answer is not to close Calton Avenue tye court lane end and direct traffic round via (the currently closed) Gilkes Crescent left into Gilkes Place and onto Dulwich Village

'illegals'?

The contrast was even more pronounced when it came to a car using diesel. "This produced 98 per cent more NO2 when driven over humps rather than cushions, along with 64 per cent more CO2 and 47 per cent more PM.".

I see Helen Hayes has voted against triggering article 50. Brexit Vote: 89 MPs Refuse To Back Triggering Article 50 In March - But Government Wins http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/brexit-vote-89-mps-government-wins-article-50_uk_58485e1be4b07fd553cf1c56

Horrible backlit sign

I just remembered - I had fantastic roast tatties at the Watson Telegraph. They're slightly spiced / curried (sound bad, but it's not). Very good indeed.

I had a great meal at the Lordship the other day. I rarely go there (not sure why), but it's actually very good. Will try to visit more.
