There is a ruptured gas main after a car crashed into a building. The driver was killed.

A good way to jazz up chocolate flavour is to put some cold coffee in the mix, but not too much or else you taste it! I've read that a bit of cinnamon or chile powder does the same but haven't tried it.

Karrie Nice picture. Is that a wee bee on the right? How are your 'leaks' doing?

Sean, Don't understand why you even bothered to say he played rubbish music if you have already discussed it with him and therefore know why! BBC London is no longer a music station.......

Define what you mean by rubbish music? Surely you don't listen to him because he might play music you approve of? It's a talk show. Why not email him and ask why he plays what he does? There is a reasonably large choice on the BBC London playlist. He also plays stuff sent in to him if he likes it. And he will often have the artist(s) in the studio if he likes them.

you're confused?

Cinnamon Tree Bakery do gluten free brownies available from Borough Market. They are pretty good. But I still think Chocstar's are the best and am glad to see they came second. Believe the Dolce Vita lady is away for the summer.

Camden and market is always fun for teenagers. You could then take her to the top of Primrose Hill to see the view. She might also like Brixton market - the covered versions. They are open late on Thursday night. Greenwich market. Borough market is on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays. A trip round Soho and go to Carnaby Street and tell her the history. London Eye, trip down the Thames. If she likes fashion then a trip to Zandra Rhodes museum in Borough. If she likes proper American style hamburgers then the Meatwagon is putting in an appearance on Friday off Chadwick Road.

Wouldn't they be necessary to prove that the till operator isn't fiddling? It's probably a requirement of their employment.

There is also a law about being inebriated in charge of a child. Will have to find the details to quote. You can get up to 4 months in prison and a large fine.

Rye Lane has a lot of the above so see no need for same thing on LL. There are a few Italians in ED, Local and Si Mangia plus some in Honor Oak.

Yes, watch Las Ramblas. A friend had her bag whipped away while she was sitting at a cafe. I used a money belt. Love Parc Guell and Sagrada Familia. I found it easy to negotiate the underground system. One day is really not enough. You'll want to go back. Forgot to say there is a great Picasso Museum in Barcelona. Think it is in Barrio Gotic area.

Can't recommend anywhere in Turkey but can recommend lots of places in Crete if you are interested. Have been many times.

The florist shop also does the same thing.

But I guess they knew that the kids couldn't be prosecuted. Zebedee, didn't you say you were pro the Schonrock's cycling but when you found out it was illegal you changed your mind? Do you think the law should be changed? Should parents be prosecuted for letting their kids cycle on the pavement?

Just looked up the Tit family and it could be either Great or Blue, although didn't really see the head. Did you know that the Great Tit eats bats?

Kids 10 or under can't be prosecuted anyway. So what is the difference? The Schonrocks obviously don't care. There are still plenty of kids and parents cycling on the pavement though and the parents think it is OK as they are accompanying their kids. Recently encountered two young men - about 18 - cycling with their dogs running next to them on the pavement and when I told them them that pavements are for people they whined and said what else were they supposed to do with the dogs? I suggested they walk their bikes with the dogs until they got to Dulwich Park. I often see a woman on Court Lane who regularly rides on the pavement with her dog running next to her. I really think there are a lot of people who don't know that they are not supposed to ride on pavements. Or perhaps they don't give a stuff and are willing to risk the fine. I didn't know that it was illegal over a certain age until this year. It would never have occurred to me to cycle on the pavement as an adult.

Little birds from probably the same family are flying all over my garden, perching on my hedge and even sitting on the top of an opened back room window! I really thought they were going to come in. They were even clinging to the brickwork outside the window. I don't know what kind they are but the one seemed to have black marking around the face and neck. I am thinking they are fledglings. The one sitting on the window kept teetering back and forth and I thought he would fall in. I gave a bit of a shout and he flew away.

Crushed and devalued.

I am curious as to why you said SE London Police and not Peckham Police as that is the area you were in? Do you come from outside the area?

There is a book recently out called Shedworking all about these. Think there is a website as well.

Just because Npower is asking you for that amount doesn't mean you are using that much. All utility companies try it on so they can build up reserves in their bank accounts. If you don't switch then just say you are not paying them that much and they should back down. After all, you won't be using much gas in the summer months. I've just been looking at this site. http://thisismoney.co.uk/ Utility Warehouse is a company recommended for switching and also paying online by giving your own readings to British Gas http://britishgas.co.uk/products-and-services/energy/our-products/energysmart.html
