All of which says all you need to know about his moral compass. Leopards and spots and all that. HP

Hi - completed. Quick and easy to do. Intrigued! HP

Good rhyme Hope you're fine! HP

A call to 999 could request an ambulance and police who would also attend anyway in this situation. Whatever happens after given how overrun services are - that"s something none of us can tell. HP

Ditto - moved from ed to nunhead 15 years ago. More peaceful, great pubs, community feel. Just walk across park to east dulwich or peckham. Surrounded by green spaces from park to one tree hill etc. Love it here! HP gerranks Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > try nunhead used to live in dulwich

And from over in nunhead. Hope your young'un recovers from this soon. Disgusting behaviour and hope the perp gets caught - must have been frightening for your child.

Thanks for posting. Signed HP

But as rahrahrah says, the simpler the better.

Yeah - on the school application form its 'preference' but most people view it as 'choice'. HP

Pretty much how it worked where I went to school give or take. No faith schools; very few single sex and none near by. Ditto private schools. So you went to your local school end of.

Waiting with baited breath! Anyone got a piccie??? HP

Then you minimise the need for people to move for school purposes only. Scrap faith schools and ditto single sex and private. Go to your local co-ed school!
