  1. Hello Can people please let me know what they think about this matter.... The house next door to us was sold recently and the buyers have decided to completely renovate it: new roof, side return, loft dormer, total garden re-vamp - the complete works. This started on the first day of the school summer holidays (I have 2 kids and don't work over the summer so I can be at home with them). It was very noisy. Also the builders were working EVERY Saturday. So we get very little noise respite. On the day their massive wrap around scaffold went up it knackered our sky reception. I sent a polite text mentioning this. The text back merely expressed surprise that sky was so "sensitive" and seemed to deny their scaffold could be the cause. We then paid for a sky engineer to fix the issue. A very nice man came around and said "yes of course it is the scaffolds fault" and he moved our dish to get a signal. I have since mentioned it twice in passing that we have paid for an engineer hoping they will offer to reimburse us - but it is clear they have no interest in doing so. It isn't really about the money - I am actually more upset that these new people who are going to be our neighbours (once they move into their finished house) could be so dismissive and offhand about this matter. So here is my question: Would you have offered to pay for a sky engineer if you had caused your neighbours dish not to work? Thanks in advance for comments
  2. Signed - kids need their playing space. The estate represents private schools with acres of land but cannot leave this tiny plot for the use of this state school? It is horrid. If they need the cash so badly I am sure Dulwich College won't miss part of one of its many large fields!
  3. So is it definitely an M&S food that is replacing Iceland? Does anyone know?
  4. Hummm seems suspicious - interested to see if anyone else has same problem. I have not been impressed with their cleanliness.... Seen their toilets? Horrid. I don't go there now - the ice-cream is really expensive - ?2.30 for a single scoop and their customer service is the worst I have seen in the Village. Stefano is really moody about giving out tasters (even when he has run out of all the usual flavors like strawberry and vanilla). Seriously with ice-cream at this price I don't think it is too much to ask for more than one taste test for a young child. Plus some politeness and a smile might be nice too.
