Hi Everyone, Harvey is 11 weeks old, he has had all his vaccinations, he loves people, and children, and he has started going for walks - all he needs now are some puppy playmates. We are looking for local puppy parties OR people with puppies a similar age, who also want to socialise them with other dogs a similar age, rather than rely on the big dogs we meet in the park - some of whom are rough, and also quite badly behaved, in fact one bit Harvey just yesterday, on his second day out - NOT GOOD! :-( Please get in touch :-) Sarah, Sabina, Julius, and Harvey

CATFORD! We live in Forest Hill but Catford is much edgier / cooler - try the Catford Constitutional Club if you don't believe me :-)

I see Robert Stanford, now known as Robert Stanford Estates, has set up shop in Catford - how sad to see that on their glorious new shop front they can't even SPELL Forest Hill!!

We've used him twice - excellent both times :-)

The Honor Oak has been refurbed and opens for business today. We stopped by yesterday to check it out, as it looked really nice. The new owner was there and we asked if it was a gastro pub - he reacted as if that was an insult, and informed us that it is most definitely not a gastro pub (apparently that is 'old hat'), it is a 'british dining concept' - ha ha, needless to say on the basis of that pretentious and unfriendly 'welcome' we will giving it a miss!!

The Spin Doctor has helped us out twice now - once when our own washing machine broke down and once when the dishwasher in our rental property wasn't working. Both times great service, fixed the problem and reasonable price. Definitely would recommended :-)

Hi All, I have a 5 year old. I'm from Florida, been living in London since 2004. Would love to meet up with ya'll.

Hi, If you're Jewish, have young kids and are interested in meeting up with the EDJs for Chanukah this year please private message me. We light the Menorah, sing songs and play dreidel. The kids are from 0-5 years old. Happy Early Chanukah ya'll.

Couldn't agree more - that is just about the most logical, unbiased, reasonable comment I have ever seen on this subject!

If your son is old enough for a house share then why not let HIM figure out what to do with his plastic bags???

Hee Hee, I agree. Hot coals are not going to jump or spill out of one of those BBQ's, and we're not exactly talking poisonous fumes are we! As long as people leave as they find, I say live and let live. What really annoys me is people who have a picnic and then just get up and leave all their crisp bags and empty bottles for the 'litter fairies' to clear away. PS if a child is dumb enough to run over to a complete stranger and then fall onto a BBQ well....ever heard of contributory negligence???

What does 'crowd source' mean?!

Hurray!
