From the Sparkling Clean in-store special offers from Sunday 2 Sept. https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Non-Food-Offers.htm?articleId=15761&ar=1 I've been dreadfully disappointed since their recent Eastern European splash didn't include a rerun of the Polish horseradish sauce. Twice the strength of the wimpish Ebglish stuff.

  4. > Also, I don't get the symptoms lying down, only when I move. I had what was diagnosed, on its clearing up, as probably viral labyrinthitis, some decades ago. I too felt absolutely fine when lying down, albeit in a dozy and spacey way, but very unpleasantly dizzy and ill on standing up, which made the five minute walk to the Docs a trial. Some nystagmus noted. I was improving after five days, and ok after nine, according to the notes. I have a slight downgrading of higher frequency hearing in one ear, and occasional mild tinnitus, which may have been a result. I see from one source: "Much confusion surrounds the nomenclature of acute vestibular neuronitis because the term ?labyrinthitis? often is used interchangeably with it. Labyrinthitis (i.e., inflammation of the labyrinthine organs caused by infection) is distinct from acute vestibular neuronitis (i.e., inflammation of the vestibular nerve), and the terms are not interchangable." https://www.aafp.org/afp/2006/0115/p244.html I hope yours clears up soon too.
  5. > A bit of research leads me to conclude that this was a convolvulus > hawk moth Agrius convolvuli) rather than a deaths head hawk moth. I'm not sure even of that. I take it, from what I've found, that Ag con can emulate tree bark, as does the fellow in your fine photographs, but as far as I can remember without the photo, there were also some structural differences. How sure do you feel? I spent some time this morning medium skimming through the varied finder pages at https://ukmoths.org.uk/, and didn't find one convincing match. For a novice like me it's quite an exhausting process. I wish there were a systematic key one could work though. I did note a couple of other genera which also showed some markings in the same position as the death head. But without the expert knowledge of variations within species, let alone that of being able to instantly recognise even its genus. I feel at a bit of a loss. When our piccies are up again - unless you've already got the convincing evidence - might it be worth trying a moth recognition forum such as https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheMothAndButterflyIdentificationForum/about/.
  6. I think we can survive without them for the time being. It'll get sorted.
  7. Several of us have noticed that we can't see attached files at present. Reports have been sent to Admin.

  9. I'm wondering how it's come about. If it's the result of a local system tweak or change I'd be hopeful that it can be easily reversed. I hope that's the case.
  10. I've just reported to admin directly. It looks like a system thing. I get "Linking to files in this forum is not allowed from outside the forum." on all attached links I try.

    > Foxy. Well, actually someone calling himself Bill44 who posted his opinion in 2006. https://sourdough.com/forum/topic/389
  12. I see the wording has changed and no longer includes the dishonest "need of some help with a project I?m working on for a local school" of the original version ( http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1962163 ). The wording (below) of a version posted on the Green Parent forum yesterday ( https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:W1fjwhl0fuQJ:https://thegreenparent.co.uk/forums/viewthread/28786+) as "Independent Schools Survey", is even more straightforward and truthful. I?m looking for parents to answer a very quick survey (10 mins) for a ?5 reward, about independent schools in your area. I work for Liveminds, a research recruitment company based in Moorgate. The survey is completely confidential, and you?ll be sent the reward within 7 days via PayPal. We?d really appreciate your feedback - please simply follow the link below: From going through the survey (the version I was presented with, which might not be the only one), I'd say the survey's commissioners include the Girls' Day School Trust. The schools it mentions are mostly in Greater London but include some like Guildford and Tunbridge Wells. Liveminds are at https://liveminds.com/. ETA: Afr4n has since added in the original thread : "Just to assure people that this research is being conducted by Liveminds and Acacia Avenue (who I work for)..." ( http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1962163#msg-1964244 ) My emphasis.

For more detail see eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Quoted_line_prefix, starting at "Quoted line prefix". If your correspondent hasn't prefixed it with an attribution line, possibly they've done a copy and paste from somewhere.
  14. Has your teachers licensing authority said that it is only a JP's certification that would be acceptable? I think that would be rather unusual. There are alternatives which can often be acceptable in some cases, such as ordinary solicitors, public notaries, or possibly, it appears, even the Post Office. There are at least two threads here with some relevant suggestions. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/search.php?5,search=notary,page=1,match_type=ALL,match_dates=0,match_forum=ALL There's more on notaries here: https://www.thenotariessociety.org.uk/pages/what-is-a-notary.
  15. On the first page of the 'Lost, found or stolen' section http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/list.php?31 there are currently at least six other missing cats reported missing since 11 August. Plus several reports of cats 'found'. I think that's about par.
  16. Hello DulCool1. Hello Everyone. DC, I'm curious to know what your first language is. And as a sort of answer to your question... I used to cycle up Dog Kennel Hill each day on my way to work. However I felt when I left home there was something heartening in seeing the view uphill with the treeline meeting the sky. And then, some years ago, they built an apartment block two thirds of the way up the hill, with an upper storey that extended even above the treeline. And that view disappeared for ever.
  17. The standard course is to just amend the subject field of the first post.
  18. "We are recruiting on behalf of Acacia Avenue, an independent market research company who are the data controller on this project." In what capacity are you involved in this project? Are you working for Acacia Avenue? What is your connection with the local school? Which is it? You say you're a local parent but seem to live in Sydenham.
  19. I don't know. Eeyore of Ivybridge is apparently fun-loving, brave and timid. Meanwhile WWF have put an ad on the box asking me to adopt a polar bear. It's all too confusing. I don't think they'd get along together anyway.
  20. Does anyone have any rough idea how many flights a day use the KCH helipad?

  22. > I will look up the Sale of Goods Act. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 would be more appropriate. I think you're going to have to go to Wiltshire, to see what the Wardour Chapel really smells of. https://www.therecollectiononline.com/a-52052112/true-grace/true-grace-manor-scented-reeds-sacristy-250ml/ )
  23. That's good to know. Thanks for the info. It was the phantom flower picker that prompted me to ask. I remember seeing someone busy with a trowel on the beds about 9.45 one Sunday morning last year. I was slighly suspicious,, then thought it was much more likely to be neighbourly activity, but didn't feel up to stopping for a chat to resolve the uncertainty. And these things stick in the mind. :) Really glad to see everything's getting some rain at last.
