It's the registry office Clare. 12 stops more or less outside, just before you get in to Camberwell.

Yeah, we registered our daughter in camberwell, and she was born in Tommy's. They contact Lambeth and sort it.

Out of interest, why can't you register the birth in camberwell? Has anyone considered reporting this bloke?

It's good for food, but a bit soulless. Hob is good, and has comedy and live music. Or Forest Hill Hotel, which is off the main drag.

Well I'll be... I don't even think it looks very nice to be honest. But then, I am a bloke, so what do I know? Even if it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen though, there is no way in hell I'd spend anywhere near that sort of money on a buggy!

?1200?!?!?!?!?!?!? For real?

I wish Threshers hadn't closed down. Boss Man is definitely the best place for a bottle of plonk, on The Lane. What this area needs, is a good curry house. Foxons? Now that is a stylish looking shop front!

I have to agree. I wasn't brave enough to say earlier, but I think that splashing out on a bugaboo is a waste of money. I'm sure they're good, but I'm also sure that they're not any better than a load of other buggies, and any small advantages that may be unique to them, are not worth spending an extra ?300 on. Basically, bugaboo have managed to convince people that because they are the most expensive, they must be the best for your child. It's a nonsense.

Our daughter has started at a new one in Forest Hill, which may still have places. Townsend montisorri nursery. Although to be honest, it's more like montisorri light. Met a mum there from ED, so you wouldn't be alone.

To be honest, when I go out to the pub, I dont really want to sit down and eat a fucking meal.

Tippee Toes 10am Monday mornings. It's drop in, and ?3 a time. In the back of the Ceramics Cafe on East Dulwich Road. Think there are other sessions too, but that's the one my daughter tends to go to.

I think most people will tend to get a stroller when baby is a bit bigger, as they're a lot lighter, and easier in a lot of ways. We still use, and very much like out buggy, but it is quite heavy and big, and if I just want to jump on a bus, or run round to the shops, a stroller is a whole lot easier. You don't need to spend a fortune on a top stroller though. In fact, we've just ordered One of these which currently has ?50 off.

Their sleaze was good comedy sleaze. The labour sleaze was just, well... sleazey. Always remember the Spitting Image, where they had Major and his cabinet dressed as hippies singing "Come gather round people, black white or grey. An exciting new dawn isn't happening today".

Main thing for us was to have rear facing option, so we could chat to the little one. Definitely consider weight, we've had a couple of tank like things, and they're a killer on hills, and a pain in the arse on buses!

I wonder if those who feel that her death will be her comeuppance, would like to see capital punishment back in this country. What a lot of tabloidesque nonsense.

Congrats! Good name too. Come on everyone, Turn around bright eyes...

What Fuschia said.

We've got a few of the Putumayo CD's, which are very soothing.

She looks great from the waist up.

No, it wouldn't be fair, because that is absolute speculation. It might be spot on, but equally, it might be total nonsense.

Probably doesn't take that much pushing, when you look at what a head gets paid. I'd do it!

Seriously?!?!?!? WTF!!!!

I never said that did I? I agreed with *bob*'s initial post, that both sides have been silly, and the whole thing is a complete and utter nonsense, blown out of all proportion. I was just talking about one particular post, and you chose to put words in to my mouth.

I was basically trying to say what you've just said. I know / or have worked with lots of people from different races, and have witnessed lots of racism at other groups. To say you can only be racist if you've never experienced it, is a nonsense. 2 wrongs don't make a right, and if you are the victim of racism, that doesn't give a person the right to then go and be racist to other groups. Anyway, off topic. As for what Murphy said, I don't think s/he was saying that this issue shouldn't be discussed on here, but rather, that it was wrong to attack a person's professionalism, or personality on here. If that is what Murphy meant, then I couldn't agree more.
