  2. Your doc should be able to refer you to kings, they have a paediatric alkergy clinic there
  3. Not sure if they contaminate or whether they can be recycled..
  4. By the way that's not an invitation for abuse, just a suggestion in case anyone is in a position to take it on?
  5. A decent organic shop in the area is needed. Supermarkets don't sell much of a range, nor does SMB, due to the fact that it's too small. A big independent organic that sells stuff from Big tubs which would cut prices due to less packaging would be perfect. Everything from a tub, bring your own recycled bag, done. ANYONE?
  6. Good neighbourly work. Bit concerned that description information may have been shared. Would that be considered to be corroborated evidence? Couldn't it affect the reliability of evidence? Perhaps someone in the know can inform. This thread for me highlights the importance of good neighbours, the importance of accurate descriptions when posting regarding perpetrators of crime, and personal safety issues. We can't stop the crimes, we can only do all we can to protect each other from injustice.

Yes you are right there is no legal obligation, but what would be the point here, the op has a child, and seemingly awful neighbours. Who wouldn't want a fence there? I feel for you, i have experienced a similar situation whereby a hedge which was our responsibility was removed by our neighbours. We used southwark mediation in the end I can't remember his name bus he had been a editor for 30 years, and our case was tough,but he sorted things. I would agree that rebalancing the dynamics is a very good idea. Although our neighbours caused the problem, we said nothing for a while just to preserve some sort of neighbourly relationship. They took advantage of us from then on in, we had given them the power to do so. Of course you ought to have given them notice, I think I read at least 7 days is the general/(perhaps legal) requirement, but only if you have to enter their garden to erect it I believe. The thing to do is to show them and discuss what you have in mind and then they have to opportunity to object. So I can see why they may have been angry. But that doesn't excuse their behaviour towards you. What's important is that you have tried to respond to their issues about it in a civil,reasonable way. Any neighbour interested in preserving a decent relationship would respect that. So, I agree, stop apologising. Sounds like you have tried to appease their concerns, so contact a mediator who can put aside the emotion behind their actions and deal with the real issues so that you can all move on. Also diarise every single incident of harassment. If it gets worse, you have all the information you need to take it further. Personally I would avoid reporting them at this point, unless you feel threatened or your children are scared. the mediator will work on your case immediately, so you may not have to. Sometimes going for the jugular can add fuel and make your situation worse. They will know you mean business by appointing a mediator in em first place, but if they refuse to engage with your or the mediator, then make a complaint, as the bullying won't stop until you act in it. I hope that helps, good luck.
  8. Thank you all, I will investigate. It's a question if pitching it right for his mental age Mj. Thank you both for what look like interesting books.
  9. Hi can anyone recommend good sex education books please? Thanks
  10. Usually there is music, food, and a small community gathering no?

Admittedly I haven't tried elephant and castle but it's run by everyone active so presumable it's the same. Jags is members only so I guess it's a no. Ah well c'est la vie. I am a member of everyone active, so it would have to be a payg scheme which Jags isn't, sorry should have been clearer.
  12. Thanks, 7am is good, where can I go at 7?
  13. Hi, looking for an early morning swim at the weekends. During the week is covered, but does anywhere nearby open At 6:30am at the weekends? 8am doesn't always work for me.
  14. Didn't have a great experience at cherry tree myself..... Are you asking because you feel uncomfortable, if so, go with your hunch.
  15. Chumandoz, did he grow out of his allergies as a result of his treatment under Dr Fox ?
  16. I cycle and I drive a car. And in all honesty, I couldn't tell you how fast I cycle because I don't wear Lycra, nor do I have a speedometer. However even as a commuter, I just couldn't poodle along slowly as it would have taken more than an hour to get to work. I lived in Bow and worked in Kilburn. It took me almost an Hour each way. And I cycled at a decent pace, you had to keep up with the traffic and to be safe. The problem is that pedestrias and car drivers and myself as a road user have to be vigilant. It's dangerous to fordle along slowly as it is to cycle extremely fast. There is a happy medium, but I don't believe 12 mph is the key.
  17. They are great at Kings, they do the best they can under the circumstances. The problem is the UK is way behind Australia and Canada in dealing with allergies. Hope it all works out for you. Your child's anaphylactic experience sounds scary. I guess as your child has had no direct reaction themselves the NHS are not permitted to test for possible reactions, no doubt budget has a lot TO do with it, and it doesn't necessarily follow that because one child is allergic, the other will be too. Having said that this has proved to be the case. Usually if one family member has a severe allergy in the family, the allergens are not consumed within the household, particularly nuts, as traces are easily left lying around, especially where children are concerned, so I can also see where your GP is coming from. good that you are in a position totest privately, it costs the NHS ?160 to do a prick test, interested to know how thT compares to a private practice.
  18. Emily Rose, we used the cyber isofix seat for our child and it was brilliant. I hated seeing him lulled forward on a car journey, and this seat did the trick. He is now too big for it, so we have it for sale. Let me know if your are interested. We have all relevant fixings, it is in really good condition. Here is the Which link, ours is plain black. http://www.which.co.uk/reviews/child-car-seats/cybex-solution-x2fix-isofix I am around tomorrow if you (or anyone else for that matter)is interested Selling for ?60.
  19. sonners, I am shocked that your doc refused a referral. I always thought if you specifically asked then it is their duty to refer you. Is it a group surgery, because ifitis you can see a different doctor who might be more helpful and refer you. Problem is you need an annual check up as the situation can change from year to year....personally I would persist.
  20. Perhaps just boycott what you don't want to see there? Though with the happy cheery bloke at the other cheese shop, they just might get my trade....
  21. Hi sorry for the boring post, but contemplating getting one as I hang my clothes on the line all year round, but need something that finishes them off. Is this any good? Does anyone have one and recommend it.. (God I can't believe I am posting this but sick of pulling damp smelling clothes out of the airing cupboard. I know, there are worst things going on in the world, but if I could just crack this...........
  22. Poor child I hope she is ok.Lambeth like many councils make cut backs and don't pay staff enough to do the job. Might be why there are so few lifeguards there. It is hard to believe that such a heavily populated pool could have so few lifeguards at any one time. A majority of them seem quite young, cheaper wages, lesz experienced. Though I would question why they did nothing. Is there sufficient drilling? Might explain why they seemingly didn't know What to do.........
  23. People can make their own decision as to whether they are interested or not. Your thread had 669 views Rook, that's not bad, do what you want.
