I also concur. Can't vouch for the fish - I've only ever had saveloy or sausage there - but Ken's do the best chips we've found around here.

Just wanted to add another recommendation for Frank, who helped us with a bigger than expected house move last month. Great service - thanks, Frank! Steve + Lizzie F

Sounds like a clever chap! How about further study at somewhere like Imperial, doing an applied maths PhD: http://mpecdt.org/ Or looking for jobs as an actuary in the City? Mr F.

Hello Everyone, Judith Kerr Primary School is holding our inaugural summer fair on 12th July and we would very much like to hear from people who might be interested in having a stall. As many of you will know, we are a new bilingual free school on Half Moon Lane in our first year of operation. We expect to enjoy full support from the school body as well as those Sept '14 new starters and curious others! Also - if you are/know a coffee van man we'd be interested to hear from you too. Please pm me. Many thanks. Friends of JKPS

Dulwich Cars have been great for us.

I've taken my kids out of school nursery during term time before. We just told them we'd be away, didn't ask permission because it's not compulsory for a child to attend. Only done it for day or so at a time but know others have done a full week. Do it whilst you can!

Hi, Our son is in reception at Judith Kerr and we feel very lucky to have a place there. It's been a fantastic experience for all of us particularly as we were one of a number of families who originally got none of our 6 choices. The school has a friendly almost family feel. The teachers are fantastic and have put so much effort into getting it up and running and I can't praise the head enough - approachable, welcoming, with a wealth of experience. Max class size of 25 is a big plus as is the opportunity to learn another language. Our son is loving it and has already made some really strong friendships. Play dates can be an issue but those that travel a further distance to school mostly drive so it's not such a problem. Plus the Florence pub in Herne Hill has a play room so this has been used on more than one occasion for get togethers! I'm not concerned about the hot meals issue - if Southwark weren't doing free school meals he'd be getting a packed lunch anyway. It's obviously still a work in progress in some respects though not at all in the teaching or the school experience of the children as far as I can see. It's exciting to be part of the school as it grows and evolves. Admissions policy is 50% distance, 50% lottery. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info, will come in useful. Shame they're getting replaced as they're nice-looking bridges... Mr F.

Hi all. Can anyone recommend a local mobile car valet service? We've been let down by a Clean&Shine no-show. Cheers, Mr F.

We potty-trained our two children in the same way at the same age(about two and a half). The first (a boy) just simply stopped weeing in the night with no prompting from us about two weeks after being trained, and this was with a glass of warm milk at bedtime. The second continues to soak her nappy every night a year on from the start of training, and doesn't have a drink at bedtime I reckon it must just depend on the child, like a physiological development thing...
