Easy to be so certain you'd never fall for anything like this while you're reading about it on line . Perhaps you wouldn't - I bet I would ,I fall for everything . So I'm grateful for the warning . No need for people to be so scathing when someone has publicly outed themselves as being less knowing than you .

I doubt William Rose rely on having a door open in order to keep their products at the right temperature .

Strafer - there was no que ,just me and one other customer . I was trying to keep warm . It was freezing ,windy outside . I asked the staff if I could shut the door and they said they were not allowed to ,so I shut it myself .

William Rose butchers at 126 Lordship Lane Se22 have a very stringent open door policy where the owners wishes override any customer desires for the door to be shut . I know because I've asked for it to be shut ,have even shut it myself but it is always immediately re opened by the staff who are not allowed to let it remain shut .

"We keep getting reports from someone apparently from Kingsdale saying posts are libellous. We have collected the details of the posters and will forward on to the authorities when requested so that they can speak to the individuals concerned. I suggest that if you have embellished anything in your posts that could be lies that you quickly go and amend them before teacher comes back with the police. " I think it was the last sentence that ,to my mind ,implied police involvement . But I guess it was meant light heartedly and not intended to be taken seriously .

I'm sure you have been contacted by the police in the past asking for posters details - I find it very interesting that they would contact you over civil matters . Thank you for the reply . Difficult task you have .

Let me know if you want a copy and I'll PM you .

Will be amazed if these posts aren't deleted .

Any chance of a reply to my first question ?

But does having the car near your home stop it getting broken into ?

Just a blip in the usually excellent admin of the forum ???

Oh yes please Foxy ,how kind ! I keep looking at the home bit of Yahoo email but there doesn't seem to be what I need . This is a recent problem on this account - the owner of which is a bit of a random clicker so I imagine some tweaking is needed .

Regarding the Kingsdale thread - the message from Admin about posters details being given to the authorities etc . If it was neither a light hearted /jokey response nor a rather threatening message - why was there talk of the police ? Libel is a civil matter not criminal isn't it ?

Not just me that's baffled then . Some comfort .

From what I understand albert different year groups at Kingsdale can have very different experiences . I think the higher years have had a very different time from those just recently joining the school . So those who have good experiences find it hard to believe that anything could be amiss at the school .

As will be obvious I'm not very computer savvy but I have an email account - Yahoo/btinternet with subaccounts for family members . One of the sub accounts can't open attachments though they used to be able to. They download but no dialogue box opens asking if you want to save or open the attachment . I can open attachments - even forwarded ones from the sub account that can't . This is all on same machine . Does anyone have any advice . I've tried "reconfiguring " the rogue account .

I agree it must be difficult to be caught in the crossfire . Just think Admins post was phrased in an unfortunate way . But maybe ,being human and doing this in their free time ,they're tired and not perfect .

I'm sorry but your post came across as very heavy handed . You would know but I can't remember anything other than references to the sudden drop in GCSE results . There may have been opinions expressed as to the cause - so I can see that might be libellous . I don't recall any posts stating that x or y happened ,so I can't see that any lies ( as you call it ) were told . "embellishment " is tricky isn't it ? I imagine there will be a lot of gaps in the EDF if exaggeration becomes a reason for removing posts because they might be libellous . It must put Admin in a difficult position - presumably requests for "embellished " posts will have to be removed if you're asked to do so on the grounds that they are libellous .

And does anyone know why the school had to change GCSE exam boards ? The Ofsted report seemed ( to me ,maybe I've misunderstood ) to imply that this was partially responsible for the drop in results . Poor kids who sat exams last summer ,it seems so unfair that their grades were affected .

Curmudgeon you say " Seems a good thing there's been a high turnover of staff to me. " But surely these teachers were working at the school when the results were good ? They left and the re results nose dived . Why is it good they've left ? Have I missed something obvious ?

and what do you mean "apparently from Kingsdale " ? Does that mean you don't know who has contacted you suggesting the posts are libellous ? Do you think they were libellous ?

either you're having a larf admin or you're trying to intimidate .

Hope it's back on . Does no water = no heating ?

Decathalon at Surrey Quays have a great selection of ski mittens etc for children .
