Outoffocus, you have forgotten to change one letter, so it's back to the previous entry. Alert

Further to my last comment, have a read of this short article: http://info.cat.org.uk/questions/energy-conservation/can-conservatory-make-my-home-more-energy-efficient

Bear in mind that heating a conservatory is a bit like burning ?10 notes in your fire to keep warm. Most of the heat will be lost through the massive glass area, even if its double glazed and reflective coated. I would suggest you burn ?5 notes as that will be cheaper than using tenners!

Dulwich born & bred, have you even READ James Barber's post??

actually, traditionally the autumn and spring are the busiest times for the housing market. The slowest times being Christmas and Summer.

Why are you being so snide about this?

Yes EDH but that took an appeal to the Secretary of State and rested on a strong educational case. Don't think that would apply to a coach park.

>>JaneAusten asked: If the field opposite the school is under-used by both Alleyn's and local state schools, why isn't a corner of it turned into a coach park so they don't clog up Townley Road? Just a thought... Southwark Planners wouldn't allow it as it's MOL Metropolitan Open Land.

Sillywoman, for information, those scholarships were funded by the old ILEA, and they ceased in 1970 when that authority (which ran all the schools in the inner London boroughs) decided not to pay for places at non-state schools. There were at least 30 of those free places in any one year I think. Similarly, others could attend the school (until the direct grant was abolished in 1976) and only needed to pay what they could afford, based on their parents' incomes/outgoings. This covered the rest of the pupils in any one year. So the "only" thing that applicants had to do was to pass the entrance exam. If their income was low, they'd pay no fees at all. The government funded these costs by the direct grant. After these free places ceased, the school had little choice but to go Independent from 1976. As far as I am aware, Alleyn's had no desire to become a fully fee-paying school. It was forced to do this effectively by the Labour government in 1976. That was when the school also decided to become co-educational, which has made it today probably the top fully co-ed school in the country. Quite a credit to good old ED really!
