The young ones can bite car tyres around this time of year - I assume they do it for the thrill of the hiss or something like that. We had a spate of damaged tyres and thought it was a disturbed person or at a stretch an environmental protestor taking it too far, but caught a fox on a house camera.

Do Family Stores on Upland Road take pre-printed Royal Mail parcel dropoffs? IIRC last time I went there someone told me the Royal Mail website was wrong and needed to be updated (admittedly a long time ago) so I have since always gone to AM Supermarket on Overhill Road. I once went to ED Post Office and never again!

Can I use the credit for swimming lessons when the pool reopens? Or is this a case of the leisure centre taking money for services they will never deliver?

If the other side and/or you use a cheap conveyancer who doesn't understand any actual law, you will often end up being told to buy various unnecessary legal indemnity policies (because the conveyancer is too scared to offer an opinion) which will end up costing you more.

There are multiple bell bollards along turnings on Grove Hill Road. When I lived up there collisions with them were a regular occurrence (like once every month or two) often turning the cars upside down. In every case the drivers were being complete idiots and their carelessness clearly a danger to small children and so on.

Their mandate is to raise as much money as possible for the hospice. They're not a clothing charity.

Hopefully some Ukrainians will turn up and give him what for.

Does anyone have any experience reducing the solar gain from their windows and roof lights? E.g. using window film, low u-value glass and/or external shutters? What and who do you recommend? How much did it cost and when? We have a fairly standard south facing ED terrace with Velux windows (internal blinds only), a roof light, uPVC double-glazed sash windows and wooden double-glazed french door all fitted 2015ish. Trying to future proof the house against future hot summers without resorting to air con.

Yes exactly. If essential stuff is expensive you need to make more of it. The best cure for high prices is high prices.

Heh yeah haven't even bothered to remove the emdash. The OP is AI slop as well.

It's local independent shops supporting one another.

Local (especially independent) businesses should do like Wheelers Oyster Bar in Whitstable and offer a discount to anyone who can show them a receipt from Chacarero dated the same day.

Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings. Won't be going to the new chain.

I have swum in it several times since it's reopened. No problems. The sand stuff is a bit off-putting but like all pools they'll have to test and log the water quality regularly so I think it's unlikely to be a health issue. The water is clearer than a pool I use regularly near my work - also with no issues.
