Second time that Leon has come to the rescue . He was here within 2 hours -- ok he was working locally but he didn't have to fit me in .Shows what he's like ,he'll try and get to you asap .And he carries a number of commonly used parts and doesn't have to go off and get them . (You might think that this isn't deserving of comment ,but believe me it is ! ) Great guy ,100% recommend .

I think they can be out of a driver's sight line sometimes.

Sainsbury's on Dog Kennel Hill?

Sue , yes the NHS do employ dieticians.i used to see a lovely one ,Orla, at St Thomas's.

But how could you have checked if it was safe for you to turn without pulling out from the junction ? Mrs R - a very similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago . I was turning right into Dunstans Rd from Cornflower Terrace .Just after 9am . Had to pull out into Dunstans because of parked vans on corner of Dunstans and Cornflower . I was stationery and watched in horror as a scooter drove down Dunstans into my car . My insurance are treating it as a dispute .Damage to bike ,hire of bike and injury are being claimed . Dunstans is a longish perfectly straight road ,if you're driving down it there is good visibility. Same for Friern Rd .

ThanksDKH. Do you need to set a route though?

Where in Barry Rd ?

Thank you Elena, I'll give that a go

Absolutely agree ,Leon is brilliant .Professional ,polite ,helpful ,responsive ,fair ,honest .

Sadly I need additional help to stick to 20mph on local roads . I do have WAZE and see that I can have spped alerts turned on but presumably this would mean entering a route for each drive ? Is there a better app that will track my speed and alert me when I'm getting close to the limit ?

Anyone else getting this ? Hopefully it'll be sorted tomorrow ,on Monday.

Last week .So cheerful and kind .And almost made me feel like a normal person when trying to load ,single handedly ,large items into a car ,I'm clearly not !

Penguin ,Underhill is a very long road (as I'm sure you know ) so I understand why you would not recognise sections of it .

Wow , excellent feedback Sue Thank you so much ! If I ever get back from Texas I'll be off to Dobbies.

Nice idea🙂

Some time ago I was at the self service till in the LL Poundland and found myself without my bank card. I was scrabbling to get the amount due in cash but was some 20 p short. The manager came over and put his hand in his pocket to cover the cost . Pretty helpful and nice in my book.

Oh go on Sue, I'm quite interested in hearing why The Cherry Tree gained your disapproval. How about The Plough near junction of Lordship lane and Barry Road ?

I hope you update us on the results of your research Sue.

I've just popped out (Wednesday) to post a card .Collection times listed as 9am.But the little metal plate indicates Friday as the next day for collection . Are these metal plates accurate ? Or are they not changed ,maybe a faff to do so are left ?

That is sad. I much prefer to read papers as such and not digitally. Years ago the SLP used to have a double page spread titled"Your neighbour in court"

Good news , thanks pebs And thanks to whoever was responsible for speedy clearance.

Not an oak but the look of it

I'm watching a neighbours lawn where the grass is hourly increasing in height .Wondering how on earth they are going to tackle cutting it .

what's the name of the lovely pub NewWave?
