This is all really useful, thank you so much! we have sky at the moment but the internet isn't good enough, virgin promise much faster internet at a cheaper cost but it sounds like they might be over promising! Thank you again, very much

Hello, I just wondered what your experience is with Virgin? We're thinking of swapping from Sky to Virgin as they seem to be cheaper and have faster internet, but wondered what fellow locals think or Virgin? Thanks so much

Thank you all so much! I've managed to find some paper cups that don't have the plastic inside bit so I can recycle them. Phew! Thank you all again, very much!

Hello, I wonder if anyone might be able to help with this. We're organising our school fair and want to avoid all the waste from plastic 'glasses' and coffee cups. One option is biodegradable cups/'glasses' but I can't find out how to actually get rid of the biodegradable products. I phoned southwark and they said its either recycling, or its rubbish, so I guess they can't take them. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much

You could try Clive Hall, on Clive Road, its a 5-10 min walk from Gypsy Hill. We really liked it there when my two went there and I know they have spaces at the moment as a friend of mine phoned them recently looking for a space.

Hi Dodo1, My son is at Trinity, y2, (Y8) but he started in the first year, so I haven't had any experience with the jbugs, but felt bad that you hadn't had a response! I do know they do go on a bonding trip in September for 3 days, and also that a friend of mine has a son in the jbugs this year and he's really happy and so are the parents. When my son started, the settling in process was great and not at all stressful for my rather worried son! Not sure if that helps at all.

Last time I asked Neighbourhood vet where they were moving to they said Brockley. Maybe that's changed?

We used Science boffins for my sons 7th birthday a few years ago and they all loved it. More recently my daughter went to a 6 year olds party who also used Science boffins so would have been 5 and 6 year olds there and it went down well. Worth talking to them and finding out what age they recommend - they were really helpful.

I feel slightly silly putting this on the forum but my young female dog has just come into her first season and I've been reading online about what your supposed to do and most people say keep them in for 3 weeks or walk them in places where you won't find any other dogs. The prospect of keeping her in for 3 weeks is slightly terrifying - a young excitable dog kept in and 3 children on the run up to christmas! So My question is what do you do with your un-spade dogs? Are there any places to walk semi-locally where not many dog walkers go? Or do you just keep them in? Any advice would be gratefully received.

Does anyone have the contact number of chris the mac man? He was helping me with my computer and my phones been stolen and I've lost all my contacts. Thanks so much!

Not sure where you live to know if this is of any help but you used to be able to get it from the post office/newsagents on Forest Hill Road, I haven't checked recently to see if they still do - would be worth checking if it was close to you. I'd be happy to pass our copies on if you want them

Can anyone recommend a pet sitter for a puppy? Thanks so much

Thank you all so so much for all your recommendations! I really appreciate it. DulwichFox curry club sounds great! Thanks again

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct section so I'm really sorry if I'm not, but can anyone recommend a good curry restaurant to take a big group to? Think it will be about 14 people. Unbelievably we haven't eaten at any of them on Lordship Lane - I guess we don't get out much! Thanks so much
