  1. Or similar from Minoura. I had one of these and it worked fine. https://www.evanscycles.com/minoura-gravity-stand-00103513
  2. Hi Digbina. Do you have contact information for Jolly Foresters please? I tried contacting them in the past but didn't get a response. Spoony- my son (9) goes to Southwark Gymnastics' holiday clubs and likes them https://bookwhen.com/southwarkgym Also the sports club at Dulwich College very good and the one at JAGS looks good too. Not sure if these run in HT or only in the longer holidays.
  3. We've used both Moggie Minders (Catford) and Red Lion Cattery (Shooters Hill) and been pleased with both.
  4. I have to come back on my response. Now at 9 both dexterity and patience are much improved in my son. He's still had the new ones less than a week but is very enthusiastic about them (tidying, dressing, teeth all done quick sharp in the morning so he can play). And they have survived (indoors) so far. He's mastering how to manoeuvre them.
  5. We have had 2, neither with camera, both very short lived. One quite expensive but fatally damaged in collision with tree on first outing. They are hard to control and it was too hard to get my son (also 8 at the time) to spend time practicing to learn how to work it properly. He's just received two more for his birthday, which have survived the first 48 hours. The rotor blades are quite well protected and son is 1 year more sensible. I wouldn't highly recommend.
  6. Good idea James. Unfortunately I suspect there are many examples of I'll thought out traffic calming measures being put in and then removed not much later at huge cost due to complaints from residsnts. On my road speed bumps/tables had to be taken out as the regular buses going over them caused nearby houses to shake. That said, I don't really understand why the council is agreeing to these changes to Crystal Palace Road.

  8. Devon is big. Anywhere near Exeter?
  9. Southwark gymnastics. The ad refers to 2017 but if you follow the booking link it's summer 2018 dates. http://www.southwarkgymnastics.co.uk/Holiday-Programme
  10. Southwark gymnastics - 2 hour sessions + before and after activities http://www.southwarkgymnastics.co.uk/Holiday-Programme
  11. If I call out Briticism does the klaxon sound, like on QI? Does klaxon have two xs?
  12. By no means limited to ED, but it does irk me that I so often come across shop assistants at tills who don't stop their conversation to serve customers. Even in places which used to pride themselves on customer service.
  13. I said risks must be well controlled given age from which kids can participate. Just amazed anyone would be asked to give waiver for negligence.
  14. This looks amazing. Slightly surprised though to see this in the waiver: "Furthermore, TLCC Trapeze School employees have difficult jobs to perform and cannot prevent all accidents. They try to minimize the risk, but accidents may happen. By signing this agreement, I am waiving any claims against TLCC Trapeze School for negligence and expressly assume the risk of injury because of negligence or failure of equipment." I understand there would be risks and given it's for kids from age 6 these must be well controlled. But surely users cannot take on responsibility for company's negligence??? Is this even possible under H&S regs?
  15. I would definitely go for a solicitor. People we bought from used a conveyance miles away. They were rubbish and it added loads of time and hassle. Have used my solicitor 5 times over the years and she does a proper job. When I'm spending that much, I find that extremely reassuring. I don't think it's something to skimp on.
  16. The new building next to the adventure playground on Peckham Rye is available for hire, although no idea the cost.
  17. My son has been to Southwark gymnastics a few times and enjoys it, but he already attends lessons so knows some of the people which helps, for him anyway. You can book into their lessons in holidays which run 10-12, and add on pre or post lesson holiday club with other activities. The other one is Nimble Arts which run in Horniman and Heber schools. My son enjoyed that. Although not a frequent one as a bit pricey, but they do set up a lot of activities.
  18. We found putting wire mesh over airbricks pretty effective. Helps if neighbours will do the same.

On the subject of cinemas I've only just found out about of which everyone else may already be well aware, Kino Bermondsey: http://www.kinodigital.co.uk/home/film-listings/?venue=b Handy for on the way home from work. For me, anyway.
  20. Possibly the community centre at Nunhead Green. http://www.thegreennunhead.org/venue-hire/
  21. Yep, Southwark Gymnastics is the Camberwell one. They usually have gymnastics lessons and holiday clubs on over holidays but often it's advertised quite late. https://bookwhen.com/southwarkgym
  22. I haven't lived in either area but would go for Peckham rye
