  1. I had a very similar problem (this was 18 months or so ago) - basically a sharp cut into the front wing of my car a few inches above the wheel arch. It was clearly a tail lift or something. It corresponded to bin day from what I remember but could have been any delivery driver, skip lorry etc. etc. so we couldn't do a great deal. Not cheap to put right. Even if you don't get to the bottom of it at least you know that the bastard that did it probably has a pretty shit life driving a diesel powered coffin around for a living.
  2. I have used http://scan-van.co.uk/ I recall it is run by a chap called Alan and depending on the service you choose, he will pick up and drop off your pictures in person, and can also do the scanning in the van in your drive etc. if you don't want them being driven around etc. Quality and turnaround was excellent
  3. Have a look at automist - I have just had a system fitted to solve the same problem and can let you know more details if you like.
  4. We have recently had most of our house redecorated by David and his team from Expert Decorators, this is the second time we have used them - both times they were competitive, flexible in working around building works, provided a great finish and were tidy and courteous. David can be reached on 0 7 5 6 2 7 1 6 2 3 8 or by email at decoratorsexperts @ yahoo.co.uk
  5. Yes but he needs to make these statements so it looks like he is at least slightly independent and worthy of his office and pay cheque. It's a thin veneer in my opinion, but also a difficult line in expectation management to tread.
  6. "very high qaulity residneital development" "all maintainance" "consierge service" "communal rooftop gardens or libraries or games rooms" "Often they have gyms and pools too" "close to transport hubs" Sounds like it would be really cheap, definitely in the same market segment as someone struggling to find an extra hundred pounds a month for a regular rental. :)
  7. Can anyone recommend Winston? We are looking for a decorator. thanks
  8. That might sound like a lot of missed appointments in absolute terms, but lets say there are 6 doctors/nurses and 10 mins allocated per appointment, open 8-6 every day. This is 1800 appointments a week, so <3% no show rate. That may be high or low compared with other practices, and the numbers may not be precise, but it's not a lot. I suspect that if people could get through on the phone they might find it easier to give notice of cancellation.
  9. Police station site (assuming no other buildings being acquired): approx 1850 square metres Goose green site appears to be approx 3400 square metres Heber approx 2700 square metres Source emapsite.com
  10. John Lewis itself is great with kids-top floor restaurant
  11. if that fails Bodean's do a catering/mobile service http://www.bodeansbbq.com/catering/
  12. Our experience was never too soon. Did a rough routine from about 2 weeks old where mini Mac was bathed (every other night), quiet time, just whispered chat while she was feeding, fed and put into Moses basket but stayed with us in the lounge with a sheet over the Moses basket to block out light from TV. Then at about 6 weeks started doing same and putting her our room on her own (with monitor obv) from about 7. She quickly dropped 11pm feed so I was only doing around 2am feed then awake at around 7. She slept through from about 12 weeks (7 to 7).always fed her in her room overnight not in bed so as not to wake daddy. Daytime naps not so strict but made sure she had around 2/3 hours a day so not overtired.
  13. tlc-direct had some when I ordered one earlier - usually next day delivery if in stock or collect from Penge.
  14. You don't need to use the council for building control - independent companies can undertake this work but again need to notify the council prior that a) the work is taking place b) they are acting as your building control In my experience you would only consider this route if the project is particularly complex/multi-phased, uses solutions (fire suppression for example) that the council are not experienced with and therefore are likely to turn down, or you just don't trust them/don't want to hand over any more money to them.
  15. If you know who is doing this do you know what time of day roughly they take the dog out and let it do this - I live off Melbourne Grove and have noticed quite a few piles of sh.t outside my house the past few weeks. I'd like to catch the person in the act. This is on the pavement by the way not in a garden so therefore unlikely to be a fox?
