You chose to read into something which just isn't there, Silverfox. I repeat, there is nothing wrong in stating the difference in what is being sold. Nothing snobbish or superior about that. Its just a fact. Do you want small independent shops to fail? If you're for another supermarket then that's up to you, but this argument is not just about plastic bags or the price of a bottle of wine or customer loyalty for that matter... You are just trivialising the issue.

Oh get real Silverfox. There's nothing snobbish about explaining that G&B and a major supermarket chain sell different products. G&B is very popular and for good reason. It is a local independent retailer that provides a good service and sells good quality products - just the sort of place which makes ED stand out from the rest, all for very good reasons. The real argument here is about the impact an additional major supermarket chain will have on LL. Sure, the number of estate agents may be an issue, but that wasn't the question, was it? Why not start your own thread up about it?

I would like to see more indie shops on LL and not more supermarkets. Although I do like the quality in Waitrose or M&S, I am happy to forego this if it means greater diversity of choice on the Lane.

Happy New Year Filous! May 2011 be a fabulous year for you xx

Never mind LB, there's always next year (or the year after....) ;-)

No problem Tarot. If your CO alarm actuates it would be because the levels of CO are excessive. Definitely call out the gas engineers if you have any gas equipment eg boiler or fire as the cause may well be down to them being faulty. If you call British Gas they will send a qualified gas engineer. I also suggest that as soon as the CO alarm sounds you ventilate the area by opening doors/windows, switch off any gas appliances and leave the immediate area. If the alarm emits an intermittent beep however, then this could be that the battery simply needs replacing and so there is no cause for concern. As soon as a new battery is fitted, the alarm will operate normally again.

A CO alarm detects high levels of carbon monoxide which is a poisonous gas that can escape from faulty gas appliances. It is also a product of combustion, so a CO alarm can activate if a fire breaks out, although a proper smoke alarm is still important. I agree with the advice to arrange a home fire safety check with LFB. I am also happy to help out with advice if anyone PMs me (I'm a fireman if you didn't know!).

I wouldn't take that personally, LB - my guess is that the willie drawers of ED are a moralistic bunch and as you drive a 'family' car, they would not wish to cause embarrassment or upset to your little ones. Just wait till you get your mini....

Thanks for trying LB, but it was my prediction that it is just one couple.... Oh gawd! There's only 4 days left! ;-)

No it was this year but they had already fallen in love, so they don't count. Unless there's been another romance I'm not aware of, I can only presume it's errr... You and Me babe.

Well yes. I only got half of my prediction right....

I feel a bit sick.

Just accept he won't change. Let him masticate loudly and simply put some headphones on.

I'll have another go at posting the link - its worth it. I expect I did something wrong, not being very competent in this tech stuff..!

Are you having problems reading it Sue? If so it's down to my own technical ineptitude. The link is just to YouTube - no virus attached.

Have fun but just be careful, here's an example why.... Christmas Tree

Merry Christmas to you too LM... and ditto your thanks to the EDF team :)-D
