  1. I'm no surveyor, but I think cracks on the outside are bad. I doubt there are any old houses in the area that don't have 'seasonal movement'. Our house is quite wonky and we get hairline cracks in the plaster. I called our building insurers once and the advice was if the cracks are vertical and inside it's probably ok. Horizontal and outside more likely to be more serious.
  2. We have a similar problem. The ultrasonic deterrents seem to work (with the odd Nerf super soaker). I've had to spend ?70 on stuff to stop other people's animals crapping in my garden which really annoys me.
  3. There's one in Peckham library.
  4. I can't see it being feasible. Looking at the space Brockwell lido takes up it would be tiny.
  5. Sounds similar to the miscreants reported in another thread targeting the Ivy House.
  6. I think it's horrible. The old Post Office was really nice.
  7. If you got the plate definitely report to the police. Horrible.
  8. Is this thread a wind up?
  9. Looked fun. Shame it was on mostly when we were at work/school.
  10. It used to be our chippy of choice.
  11. Not picking up the plastic sounds particularly crap. I hope some of the takings get ploughed back into the park's coffers.

  13. Saw it being set up today. Ghastly.
  14. I thought it was going to be an East European deli.
  15. It would be good if it could be turned into a small hotel with a pub / restaurant. Like the Half Moon or Dog. I remember lots of people saying the old Forest Hill Tavern would never work as it was in a supposed 'dead zone'. Seems like it's pretty busy most of the time now. If you can make somewhere a good destination the people will come.
  16. Blakeney in Norfolk is brilliant. Loads of crabbing around the harbour, nice beaches and fish and chips. We had a lovely holiday there a couple of years ago. I can also second the Isle of Wight.
  17. No children should have access to social media below 13 and for WhatsApp is'a 16. Slightly flabbergasted how little parents know or care about these rules. https://www.esafety.gov.au/education-resources/iparent/staying-safe/social-networking/is-there-an-age-limit-for-kids-on-social-media
  18. What would you say is a 'good' independent and what is a 'top' independent? There are schools which are suitable for some children and very wrong for others. If a child isn't bright enough to go to a highly academic school no amount of extra tutoring will help. It may get them in but unleash a world of pain once they're in and can't cope.
  19. We had him too. Seemed very convincing. I might email them.
  20. It was. I remember it opening. Mr Liu was Chez Nico in those times. ------------------------------------------------------- > 1970 I think. > > Entirely plausible.

  22. Just to pull them apart a bit more.. They didn't have many tables. Moxon's have probably struck lucky as B&S did quite a nice job of fitting it out.
