If you have a son/daughter at uni ( not in London ) do you know what the loan amount is for this term? there is some confusion as to the sum of ?1,089- sounds a bit low to me- anyone else know?
I don't know about grammar schools, but Greycoats school is not in Pimlico,it is more Westminster, about 10 min walk from Victoria, quite a lot of girls who go there get the train at HErne Hill/ Brixton in the morning.
I never wanted to be a man until I had my first period and realised that was it for the next 40 years. They are the WORST thing we have to put up- infact the main up side to being pregnant and breast feeding was absense of periods.Hmmmph.
when we went to see relatives in Australia for 2 months they borrowed a travel cot/ used their old one. we just took our own bedding.That was for 2 months and it was fine.
Uncle Glen,I think you are correct about the name Singing Together, but Thursday morning? how can you remember that? http://www.lightstraw.co.uk/faded/notes/singing1.html Oh happy days. I remember music and movement- we did it in the gym/ dining hall, it was not much fun if you had is straight after lunch - mashed potato on the floor etc etc
I think they can be picked unripe and left to ripen elsewhere- and that the tree ripened ones taste better. Pan fried is my favourite- what else do you fry in?
Its tricky as a lone runner safety wise though- maybe th outside of Belair Park as its quite open- but boring. Parallel to the footpath at Brockwell park?
Back in the 70's and 80's powerful men got away with things they would not do now. I think it happened in lots of industries/ sectors. These men generally had a reputation and if there was more than one woman there - and she was kind/ a feminist she would warn you- for example never to go in a room when "its just you and x" it will be your word against him etc etc. It would not be tolerated so much now, but it still happens.
There were calypso songs too on the school thing- I remember bits of lyrics about rice and aki and yams- and the one about being in Quebec Stowing Timbers on the deck which I think was a Canadian song?
