How easily the point can be missed.

they've also left a letter of out the woord describe, so an accidental ommission could be likely, as opposed to intentional (and why go to the trouble if they were just intending to leave a wrong number?).

I found this on wikipedia Looks like number start with 077 or 078 or 07x8 so if it's an 077 number you have your 11th digit. If it's an 078 or 07x8 number you have a fixed number of tries. You could also try calling one of the providers. They might help.... Mobile telephones 07xxx xxxxxx?mobile phones and WiFi numbers. Individual mobile phone companies are allocated different ranges within the 073xx, 074xx, 075xx, 07624, 077xx, 078xx and 079xx area codes. Changes to mobile phone numbers in the Big Number Change were mostly straight replacements, such as Vodafone customers on the 0378 block became 07778. 073xx xxxxxx Mobile phones (in use since November 2014) 074xx xxxxxx Mobile phones (in use since November 2009) 075xx xxxxxx Mobile phones (in use since May 2007) 07624 xxxxxx Mobile phones on the Isle of Man 077xx xxxxxx Mobile phones (former 03xx and 04xx?mostly Vodafone and O2 (formerly Cellnet)) 078xx xxxxxx Mobile phones (former 05xx, 06xx and 08xx?mostly Vodafone and O2 (formerly Cellnet)) 079xx xxxxxx Mobile phones (former 09xx?mostly Orange and T-Mobile (formerly one2one)) 07911 2xxxxx 07911 8xxxxx WiFi numbers (used by companies such as Tovo and Mobiboo)

thanks! we'll try that out. not too worried about it being a festive place, just smooth ice!

Indeed. Talk about the elephant in the room....or rather - all the ways we can avoid doing so....

I'll call her too, if that's ok?

WE went to Winterville in Victoria Park and the ice was full of ridges and it was hard to skate. Has anyone been anywhere that's good?

This time of year, it's hard to say. It's becoming increasingly normal to wear silly jumpers.... So absolutely no idea what constitutes 'unusual'

subjective - maybe tainted by our own values - probably racial / cultural differences? not a chance. This is UK law and values and child abuse is defined by emotional abuse, violence, witness to violence.... It's not acceptable - whether you think it's ok personally or not. Clearly a distraught child is something we should all care about. Not find reasons they might have deserved it - or mitigating circumstances (perpetraor was of any particular race/ culture).

Southwark social services? but it would be quite hard without identifying them - although, it may be that someone else reported them? Your information would reinforce that and might just help.

oh, that's naughty. Hasn't the delivery man got a moped? or did they outrun that?

I'm sorry to hear your daughter's in hospital - I hope everything is /will be okay. As for information - the station staff may agree to putting up a notice in the station - they have notice boards.....

I just looked on ebay and there's one I can order and get delivered from the United States! Which I find really amusing. The book looks beautiful and I'll be looking for it locally...

I own property but also rent, which suits me fine - due to school location, work. Also hate being in one place.... Also, once you add on all the interest - it's shocking how much a property actually costs - and well worth checking out before you start - you may find the increased deposit has an impact... If you then pay extra onto your mortgage, you need to make sure it allows you to repay towards the actual loan, rather than just pay off the interest accumulated.

completely agree, Penguin... but sometimes, it needs to be a delivery

so what happens if you use the equity in a BTL to put as a deposit on a residential? Is that a tax complication?

Of course you should always watch where you're going. well, while it is rather annoying, it's a bit daft to say 'I shouldn't have to watch out for it'.

Criteria differ for each school. Some based on proximity are measured by straight line while others are measured by 'safe walking route'. Others are based on ability and non-verbal testing will determine which band (ie score percentage) your child fits in - with selection from each band. All have priority for siblings and social needs, or religious background (ie proximity/ banding criteria become secondary).

I remember listening to a woman from xxxxx (not saying) complaining that London was racist because she wasn't allowed to spit on the pavement but she could at home. I nearly choked laughing.

I think it should be an Iceland.

Charming. It is actually an offence. Might be worth mentioning to Southwark all the missed oppootunities in not issuing fines....

thanks for letting us know - I didn;t realise this was happening.

Sadly, very likely. Christmas will be over by then.....

there were a lot of people living there - wonder what will happen to them? guessing no new people can come to London unless they've got serious money to start.....

one suggestion would be to try transport for london journay planner (type it in to google)- you can choose the mode of transport - if there is no option for a car, choose a bus and it would highlight any traffic diversions.
