PeckhamNicola replied to JMK's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I attended the first 1 hour online session. Not a conversation at all. This is a good summary: https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/performative-chaotic-desperate-dfes-national-send-conversation/ -

WANTED - Toys and games for school play therapist
PeckhamNicola replied to Kcowmey's topic in Wanted
I've got an enormous red bean bag you can have which has been thoroughly pounded over the years but was a recommendation from Sensory Smart Child so might be of use to you. -
The signage is really poor, it's just not that visible amongst everything else you're looking out for as you're driving along, especially if you're just turning a corner onto a school street. Obviously you're going to be looking around at street level for any hazards you couldn't see before you turned the corner, not upwards at a sign. If you already KNOW it's a school street well and good, but if not it's easy to be caught out. Even police have said that to me.

FREE 2 tkts Studio Electrophonique 1-2.15pm
PeckhamNicola posted a topic in For Sale & Items Offered
Last minute change of plans. Would anyone like 2 tickets for SE London book fair event this afternoon 1-2.15pm at St.Giles' Church Camberwell? Message me and I'll send them over to you. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/thesoutheastlondonbookfest/1829684 The amazing story of the home studio that helped launch some of Britain's most beloved bands. The Sheffield space age began in 1961, when local mechanic Ken Patten won a tape-recording competition by recreating the sound of a rocket launch using a pencil and a bicycle pump. In the decades that followed, the makeshift home studio he constructed became the launch pad for a group of young musicians who would shape the futuristic sound of 1980s pop. The Human League, Heaven 17, Pulp, ABC and others made their early recordings with Ken, whose DIY ethic was the perfect fit for a city facing industrial decline but teeming with ideas. Studio Electrophonique tells the story of a generation seeking new frontiers in music, using everything they could lay their hands on - from science fiction novels to glam rock, Dada art and cheap electronics - to get there. Drawing on original interviews with Jarvis Cocker, Martyn Ware, Mark White and others, it brings to light a world of humour, charm, creativity and unfounded yet undaunted self-belief. About the author Jamie Taylor is a writer and filmmaker from Sheffield. He is the director of The Campaigners and A Film about Studio Electrophonique. -
Overhill Road - Education Options

Falling school rolls in London might mean catchment areas expand. Kingsdale (secondary) operates a lottery rather than catchment area and a lot of people like it. -
You have to use the right extinguisher for the type of fire - water/foam not to be used for live electrical fires for example. A quick Google says powder extinguishers can be used on the most different types of fire. In a public/commercial setting fire extinguishers have to be serviced every year. Not sure the recommendation for residential ones, but when you buy extinguishers and fire blankets check if there's an expiry date.

give me your views on conveyancers and solicitors
PeckhamNicola replied to Sally Eva's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
It's worth paying for someone who is properly qualified in my opinion. We did when we bought, but unfortunately the people selling to us had used some sort of mass conveyancing centre in Wales to save a few quid and they were rubbish. When I looked into selling our place I asked the estate agent who came to value it whether we could stipulate that a future buyer should use a proper conveyancer. They reckoned yes, so something you might consider asking for from your buyer if not too late. I guess it depends on demand, if there's a queue of buyers you're in a different place to make demands versus someone's been trying to sell their place for a year. I've used Wendy Burgess several times, it seems she's recently moved to a different practice: https://www.hcnlaw.co.uk/attorney/wendy-burgess/ -

I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't.

my bet is it's the same group and no amount of talking to is going to make a difference.

Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
