Maybe he came to get Carter and make it in time for Last Orders...

ThanksFreddy. This orning I sawy a decorator in there so it was most probably him / them...but music at that time? Not on!

Anyone know what was going on at the PRU on Goodrich road, next to the school? It is only used on weekdays but last night there was music and lights on through the night. The police seemed to come and go at one point too. Any leads?

Tried to look online to get a tel. number to make a booking and can't find one. Any leads?

Some advice please. In 2010, we had some subsidence in our kitchen (an extension) due to neighbours' gigantic lei landii (spelling?) trees (three!) being about 30 feet away. Anyway, the trees got cut down and our cracks repaired. Since then, our premium shot up astronomically. Now, the insurance company says our underwriters are no longer operating and I am having trouble finding a company to insure us. Anyone in the same predcament? Any recommendations as to whom to approach? Thanks.

Hi, does anyone know of a service that cleans the many outdoor bins we now have? Thanks.

Thanks everyone!

Where can you recycle plant pots - plastic as well as clay? Have a few to get rid of. Thanks.

I'm looking for the same! What's your phone number Alfredo?

Try cleaning it up with toothpaste before you get it done professionally...

Hi, can anyone recommend someone who can help me do some gardening jobs? Weeding, mowing, cutting back and some general maintenance work? Probably one day's work or less...Thanks.

Have gone part time for a few months and have some time available to do some voluntary work locally. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks.

I never divulge what I pay for existing services - I always ask them to tell me what their charge will be. This is because they can easily undercut - an entry strategy - but before you know it, the price will have escalaed.

And Goodrich Road...with a school on it and children walking, skipping, running,etc. Inconsiderate, thoughtless and disgusting.

Wow! What a lot of bites! It's taken mine a week to subside with the help of antibiotics as well as antihistamines. Very nasty.

A few days ago I got bitten by something (not a biss or wasp as that stings) one evening sitting out in a friend's garden in ED...the next day my hand had swollen eonrmously, was red and hot, itching and painful all at the same time. I had to start a course of antibiotics and the pharmacist on North Cross Road told me that I was the third person she had seen that day with exactly the same reaction / symptoms and the three of us seemed to have been bitten on Wednesday evening! What coud it be???

pithy

Interesting to see all these posts. The trees I refer to affect a few of us and are a nuisance. I have no idea why people opt to buy property with gardens when they really are not interested in doing any maintenance whatsoever...The professionals that Molly refers to...who are they? And can the council help in any way?

Thank you all...

Have you tried Village Way on Lordship Lane?

Interesting that you should say this...the trees thta had tp be removed a couple of years ago were more than three storeys or so high...their roots can come upto, if not under, our ktichen! One of these sychamores is as high as that...
