  1. well, if there is a yellow line painted along the edge of the road the answer is sometimes, if there are two yellow lines the answer is never. If there are no lines should be cool to park. Your friend with the car should have an idea.
  2. never miss a trick

Not being a bit gender stereotypical here are you Brendan?
  4. anyone can come. we only have two courts booked for next week I think which realistically is a maximum of 8 people. Can we have a show of virtual hands for who is interested. So far I think we have: Me PGC Bagpuss Keef Mrs Keef so there is room
  5. I'd be perfectly happy for an adult to ask my son not to do domething if he was being naughty or inconsiderate. Sadly I have been in a situation a few years ago when an adult took it upon himself to thwack my child in a moment of anger. That I can't forgive. When my son has his friends round and they start getting too boisterous etc. I have no problem telling them to can it. Luckily his friends are not particularly naughty but if one did something really bad I would make sure the child knew I was unhappy with the behaviour and then tell the parent.

    The Garden

    I've got something from there a couple of years ago. A hawthorn and a Rowan (?1 each!). The Rowan is doing really well, sadly the hawthorn died. Thanks for reminding me, it could indeed be a good place to get some hedge plants. It's on Marsden Rd TT
  7. S'alright - gives him something to apsire to.

  10. Yeah well, it's her country house. They bought the field a year ago, good on 'em.
  11. I rather imagine it to look like Azul's now departed effort.

    The Garden

    I thought it mght be useful now spring has sprung to have an area where we could ask advice and swap tips about gardening. We have just dug up the front with the idea of putting in a hedge to screen the bins etc. Anyone have any tips or hints with regard to planting hedges? Front garden is pretty sunny and dry so drought resistant hedging needed. Mr Asset wants a regimented, nail-clipped hedge (OCD) where I want something a bit softer, possibly mixed shrubs.
  13. he does the same to the parents
  14. I'm in
  15. All the people I have spoken to with kids at the Charter say the children are happy there. My son will be going in September.
  16. Is your husband called Yuriy?
  17. you can buy wireless gizmos that transmit signal from one digi box to a Tv elsewhere in the house. Only an issue if two separate channels are required at once.
  18. I don't think if Co-op or Asda got hold of Somerfield the LL branch would become one of those stores. More likely they would do what Morrisons did on the takeover of Safeway, and sell off certain sites. Then Waitrose could buy it.
  19. I like the shaggy look
  20. "I think OTE has a point about such a young child being up so late at night, if you are genuinely worried OTE you can always telephone Children's Services at Southwark and ask them to send a social worker round to check that everything really is alright." I'm not sure OTE suggested the child was in danger or being neglected. It seems a bit strong to suggest a call from Social Services. A hyper-active child that doesn't sleep for one reason or another does not equate to a child that is being abused or neglected. Better to speak to the neighbours before wading in with Social Services no?
  21. jealous of the squillions - won't make her happy though
  22. well, how was I?
  23. ok, count me in for next week
  24. you never know, the child might be autistic and only sleep for a couple of hours a day and be very difficult to manage the rest of the time. If I was in that situation I would tell my neighbours but you can imagine the extra stress of having to worry about neighbours on top of the stress of having an autistic child. I think putting a polite note through the door explaining your distress is the best way to deal with it, they should tell you if there are any abnormal circumstances and if there aren't then they could try to be more considerate. As MP mentions above, converted flats and children are not an ideal mix. When my son was small we lived in a flat and we were extremely conscious of the neighbours when he made a noise or ran around but then what can you do? There are only so many hours a day you can spend in the park.
