I'm hoping someone might know of good classes for a 12 year old (can swim but not far) and a 9 year old -swims but weirdly underwater only). Any recommendations gratefully received. Cheers HP

Don't know this Peckham lad but found link on GoFundMe. He's trying to raise money for his Dad's medical bill. He is only looking to get ?1000. Please share/donate if you can. https://www.gofundme.com/denturesformydad# HP

What the fudge have people got against bike storage? Not all of us have space to store bikes or want to or can afford to run polluting cars.

Also Queens of the Stone Age - Go with the Flow Absolutely beautiful Mercury Rev - Hercules or Goddess on a Highway if you like a bit of rock opera Iggy Pop Passenger Anything from Elvis Presley 'Elvis sings Gospel' to cheer you up afterwards HP

Anyway - sorry - was off topic. Hear hear to Lordship 516's post above. HP

Having lived in Solomon's Passage including through the period when we began to have constant fire warden patrols .... I think the sign off on building construction re: fire regs/ build conpliance etc. is murky esp given a change of contractors building the place. All leaves people pointing the finger at others. HP

You have read a newspaper's account of what they say Nick Paget-Brown, Tory leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council said. Didn't see any quotes or reporting of anyone else at all in that link. HP

That's good anyway. No person can judge another person's 'sensitivity' to sound objectively - that would be 'projection' wouldn't it? That is partly the point when you say there isn't a 'general problem' - projection. And thank fudge I've gained a day and its actually Thursday. I blame the red wine intake.

Ooh you're prickly! Please share your rigorously researched survey of 'most people'. Your surmising about what you believe I might suggest says a lot ... about you. Calm down ... Peace, love, zen, its friday and all that.

And? this doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

Think the acoustics in our old shared courtyard made it even worse. Sometimes woken at 4.30 a.m. and impossible to get back to sleep. Thay was with double glazing. Now in drafty single glazed victorian house and no problem. Hp

Planes aren't a problem to you/where you live hat is. So much local variation in the noise levels. Have moved just 10 mins walk from my old house where the noise was pretty bad. In new location hardly notice them. Hp

Done.

Warren Evans v. good. And fairly ethical. Super sturdy beds and great customer service and delivery. HP

done

Wouldn't furthest offer include siblings?

Except that in my situation we've had to move through no fault of our own-Solomon's Passage Wandle demolition. I am relying on the sibling policy to get my youngest to the same secondary Charter ED. Should I be penalised for having to move further away? The same would go for those renting on a long-term stable basis forced further away by the hoiking up of rents near popular schools. No easy answers. HP

Why not look on the school website? Current plans and contact details there.

Hoping that the impact of the serious challenges faced by schools in introducing the new curriculum - resulting in worse than expected OFSTED's isn't going to be used as an excuse to turn basically good schools into Academies... HP

Bear in mind that there's a lot to be said for going to a nearby school if its OK - getting to know others walking/local school community etc. Depending on where you are Ivydale might be a bit of a trek! Most of the ones near Queens Road are pretty decent these days aren't they? HP

To prevent confusion people might want to know that here's a whole thread on this already. See here: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1780520 HP

Maybe feedback to the surgery?

In defence of GP's in general - obviously onluly you know how the one you saw was- they get a very short appointment time per patient. You hope they're listening but they have to make quite quick assessments. HP

East dulwich certainly not trendy if that's what you're after but pleasant. Better transport links the se15 side of the tracks towards peckham rye but still near ed if that's your bag? Most primaries good. Go wander around and go with your gut.
