  1. As ever, no harm in putting 6 down. But put sibling school 1st and make sure you tick "sibling" box, as BB said.
  2. The schools don't know where you put them on the list when they allocate places. And borough doesnt matter either. To repeat what everyone said above: put them in the order you like them (and always put 6 down, just in case). Also, guessing what the schools involved are based on your name, go for the long shot: there's quite a lot of flux in places at the moment, so you might be surprised where you get in.
  3. Pizza bus was great, but no longer does pizzas, being taken over by a pop-up till christmas. Also not sure getting a dozen 10 year olds there is that fun (based on recent experience).
  4. Goosey: the councils will favour OKR because the developers there will pay for it. I'm sure they'd love the Camberwell route but where does the money come from?
  5. RRR how is the 20mph limit any different from the 30 mph limit? Or is 30 mph a magical speed which people stick to without enforcement?
  6. Is it the inside on the wheel (ie the bit that contacts the axle)? Ours went on our chameleon. Made it quite hard to push - just bought new wheels online.
  7. Telegraph Hill: good primaries (Edmund Waller and Haberdasher Askes Hatcham Grove Free School) and secondary (Askes proper)
  8. Charity shop?
  9. Susan - I just replied in the other place. Would be good to know how you sort it in the end: we need to get a shed soon.
  10. Camden market (London's 4th most popular tourist attraction, apparently). *shudders* Shoe exhibition at V and A?
  11. Louisa, at the risk of being helpful, MoK is still open, and has now entered the 21st century, and has a twitter account: https://twitter.com/ManOKentNunhead/with_replies They only tweet about sport, but still have live music (I think)
  12. Jerkiz is good, Smokey Jerkey in New Cross Gate is excellent (but perhaps stretching "near")
  13. I've had Phoenix recommended by friends and my son seems to like it. Plus Beano, and unfortunately, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Dr Who one is monthly and good. Also if you want to try lots out, there's a day a year where various comic give away samplers for free. You've missed it now, but you can pick them up for ?1 online, eg: http://www.disposableheroes.co.uk/free-comic-book-day-2015/cat_362.html Not sure what might be suitable. Also a couple of comic books that have had good reviews: http://boingboing.net/2012/04/12/giants-beware-kids.html http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/books.php http://boingboing.net/2014/03/25/james-kochalkas-the-glorki.html http://boingboing.net/2014/11/26/strong-female-protagonist-book.html
  14. Or 148 from Victoria goes down Bayswater road (North Side of Hyde Park)- less walking, more bussing.
  15. Millwall have football clubs that week: https://tools-millwallfc.premiumtv.co.uk/staticFiles/db/b6/0,,10367~177883,00.pdf
  16. We stayed at the Legoland hotel. Pros: it's incredible exciting for the kids, the swimming pool in the hotel is good fun, you get into park early the next day, we went in autumn and they had Chima fireworks in the evening. Cons: it's expensive, the food is awful, particularly if you have lunch in one of the restaurants in the park as well.
  17. Poison exhibition at Truman Brewery?
  18. Unless you're in the wrong gear, 20mph uses less fuel than 30mph. And there's nothing magic about 30mpg being the "right" speed other than you're used to it. Foxey: have you noticed more people running out because previously you've have gone over the top of them before you saw them>
  19. Pommie, wolfhound was referring to the recent cyclist who have been killed, and their details reporting in the media. Most cyclist deaths are nervous cyclists who have too much regard for traffic and ride like they don't deserve any space on the road. Those who fly out in front of everyone tend to be annoying but not involved in accidents.
  20. Blankets on the floor and picnic time?
  21. My 5 year old did, with about 1/2 an hour of me holding/pushing him along. I have a set of islabikes stabilisers still in their box to prove it.
  22. Foxey: the Lewisham cinema closed in 1981. The Deptford one in 1970! By "a cult thing these days" do you mean "in the last 30 years"? In a much shorter timescale there have been new cinemas built at Surrey Quays, Greenwich, the O2 and Canary Wharf. None of them have closed down.
  23. taper: how do you tell the difference between locals and non-locals?
  24. You could ask the Flying Pig if they'd sell you a whole smoked butt of pork. Or buy one from the butcher and slow cook in the oven and then pull it yourself. Or smoke it in a kettle BBQ. Speak to a good butcher: Flock and Herd are very helpful, and will sort out the right bit of meat for you if you dont know what it's called, just tell them what you want to do with it.

    Rugby matters

    Pah, take that Dulwich. Come on Bromsgrove. (it was a very entertaining game, more so than many 6 Nations games this year)
