Some Facebook members were spreading the rumor that it would be turned into a mosque. Others that it would be just another pub. Who knows?!

Anyone used them for hardwood floors? I would like to know how much they charge for fitting of engineered wood. They are not willing to tell over the phone and prefer to send someone for a quote. I know our floor would be pretty standard and complication free and I can't really wait for them to come to decide between their services and the also person that we could use to fit it. I just would need a rough idea.

I was in the playground of our local park (mayow park) recently with my 4 year old son. An ice-cream van was parked there in the center of the park and less than 30 meters away from the gates of the playground. The exhaust fumes of that antiquated diesel engine were VERY noticeable and unpleasant. (The noise too actually, but at least that is not detrimental to the health of my child) I assume it stayed there, engine running for most of the day. I will find a channel to complain about that to the council or whoever is in charge of authorizing it. There is enough you can't do when it comes to reducing children's exposure to air pollution. On a side note, I also have problems with the notion of tempting children with sugar and calories in places where they should exercise and be active.

Hi all I would be happy to try and start up a French speaking playgroup if you are all still up for it? We are based on Sydenham/Forest Hill borders. There are a few options to be considered - either we could take turns hosting, there is the Jelly Bean cafe in Herne Hill which I have gone to before and is great. Another place to consider would be the Montage in Forest Hill which has a playroom downstairs but could be a little cosy if lots of attendance! I would be happy to host a first session (I would say maximum 6 families though!)to give it a go?

Our power shower died this morning. We need someone to check the cable and fit a new one today if possible. Could you recommend someone? Julien

Would anyone be able to recommend an electrician, company or individual person, NICEIC certified that could carry out a survey on a 3 bed house that we are in the process of buying? Thanks, Julien

I also had a bednest which we rented and just bought the mattress new from Little Green Sheep as I had heard the standard mattress that comes with the bedpost (also new) was a bit thin. You just have the bed itself which is 'used' but ours looked like new and then the mattress and fabric panels come new and wrapped. Loved it! We were sad when baby grew out of it around 7 months (he is a long baby!)

Any coffee house would have a contact of someone they use for theirs. The Montage at Forest Hill had a guy around the other day.

I will be brief with this posting but we bought a Stokke Scoot and had to have the chassis replaced twice due to a design fault with the folding mechanism...you can't fold the buggy after awhile or if you can, it is very very difficult. The retailer we bought it from finally agreed to exchange it for another brand. In brief, there is a design fault and therefore we would recommend you buy another buggy. It is a shame really as everything else about it was great, hope they fix this issue soon!
