I may be alone, but I'd much rather public money was spent on keeping the streets clean than on this http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1426742, or this http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1423829.

http://www.amigosmagic.co.uk/ he's done the dulwich festival a few times and always gets a big crowd of kids, he did a birthday party for us (6 I think, shared with 2 other kids- so we had the whole class - went down a treat). The adults enjoy him as well.

Well, we have a local council part of the role of which is to scope, manage and commission local infrastructure projects. So local infrastructure projects we get, like them or not, however pointless, I guess.

Doesn't look a mess to me. When the market is on, the junction is closed off with the barriers. There's obviously no safety concern as there is no record of incidents at the junction. It's a completely pointless waste of money as far as I can see.

According to crash map there's been 3 incidents at that junction, all severity='slight' since 2005. I'd personally much rather they spent them money employing street cleaners.

The Southwark data is published here http://www.southwark.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/6403/starting_primary_school_in_southwark_201516 However Goose Green is an academy and therefore Southwark doesn't have the data for them. AFAIK you'll have to get it from the school directly.

On rightmove.co.uk there's only one house for sale on Upland Road and from your address it's not yours. 2 bed terrace west of Barry rd? If that isn't you, ask your agent why your property isn't on rightmove.

I received a personal note from Tessa re: my email. David Laws may not be interested, but Tessa is clearly monitoring the volume and will no doubt follow up.

They're very expensive. ?25 and upwards for half an hour!

Signed. If anyone wants the copy of the email I sent to David Laws, or the one I sent to Peter John re: the planning restrictions on the site allowing private residential development, I'll happily share.

Hello, please see Tessa Jowell's letter to David Laws, Minister of State for Schools, re: the proposed use of the Dulwich Community Hospital site here. You can see the other correspondence on Ms Jowell's site http://www.tessajowell.net/campaign-responses/ I worry that there is a real danger we could end up with a compromise on the land required for the new secondary (whichever bid is successful) by having to accommodate a primary we don't need in ED and which is not useful for Nunhead. If you believe, as I do, that this site should be for a secondary school only (in addition to the health provision which is guaranteed to also be on the site) you may want to write to: Rt Hon David Laws MP Minister of State for Schools Department for Education Sanctuary Buildings 20 Great Smith Street London SW1P 3BT Email addresses ? use both. [email protected] [email protected] Copy in your local MP Tessa Jowell or Harriet Harman: House of Commons London SW1A 0AA [email protected] [email protected] And copy in Peter John, Leader of Southwark Council Cabinet Suite 160 Tooley Street London SE1 2QH [email protected] Points to remember: According to the council?s department of children services, the need in local area is for a new secondary school. East Dulwich has a number of new primary schools to meet long-term demand and adding the Harris Primary will mean an over supply of primary places - a Harris Primary has opened to be sited on the Dulwich Police Station site. East Dulwich has a number of new primary schools to meet long-term demand and adding the Harris Primary will mean an over supply of primary places - a Harris Primary has opened to be sited on the Dulwich Police Station site. A Nunhead primary school should be located in Nunhead. The site will be too far for Nunhead-based primary school children to walk to, so will add to traffic in the area or get two buses. This is the only site available locally which will accommodate a secondary school of the size required.

Can anyone who has subscribed to Aquila and seen recent editions share their views on what it's like and what the content is?

Take him down to Beckenham Spa. He can join a class and then arrange some one on ones. The teaching pool is very warm and has a moveable floor, so they make it very shallow for the little ones and they're really good at building confidence.

Try the Hotel Praktik Rambla - quiet yet in the thick of it. No breakfast but there's a deal with a cafe next door or lots of places nearby. Look it up on Trip Advisor.

Our daughter screamed her head off for the first three months. Then it suddenly stopped. - investigate all the possible underlying causes, even if it's nothing to do with any of them, at least you'll know that you did all you could - swaddling helped ours calm down enough to get her to sleep - we found pushing her round the streets / park shut her up - but only when the buggy was moving, and only if it was moving quickly enough!! I used to shove her in the buggy, put my iPod on and set off for hours at a stretch! - take time out wherever you possibly can and do "shift" parenting ie do 2 hrs on, 2 hrs off - and when it's not your shift, get out/away from the screaming (never ever be late to take over your shift). - rope in any friends/relatives you have who can help. Accept the help and support, don't keep people out. Doesn't matter if they're not parents etc. as long as willing to help - don't worry about bonding. Your son isn't moving out anytime soon; you've got the next few decades to know him and build a relationship. It is indeed a slow burn and whilst he's totes amazballs to you right now, at three weeks he's mainly a very elaborate tube in which milk goes in and crap comes out. - and stop worrying. It's not 'normal' but by no means unusual, unlikely to be your fault, probably not much you can do about it and will certainly pass long before your son really starts to become a personality you can truly get to know and love

I had a bit of vicarious fun with this. If it were me I would ... Fly Thai Airlines direct to Phuket - night time flight leaves LHR 21:50, 13hrs40min, 1 hour changeover in BKK - very doable. Arrives 18:15+1 Fly Thai Airlines direct to Melbourne - mid evening flight (20:35) 12hrs50min, 3 hour changeover in BKK. Arrives 13:25+1 Flown with them a few times. Generous seat pitch in economy, great service, not vastly expensive. That trip for 2 adults, 1 child and 1 infant is ?2,714 all in. Phuket has lots of nice resorts you can stay at which would be great with the little ones and you'd actually get a holiday. I love Bangers dearly, I really do, but with a 1 year old I would give myself a break and just chill out by the pool. Leave traipsing around extremely hot, busy, dirty, dusty cities until the kids are a bit older (we did BKK with a 6 year old a couple of Easters back and that was fine, but the days were exhausting for her: heat, culture shock etc etc). Singapore is ok for a couple of days, but not a couple of weeks - unless you plan to be spending a lot of time in departure lounges and baggage carousels at Changi and use it as a hub. Hope that's useful. Bon voyage.

It's pointy and covered in slate.

Yes, about ?40k for a side-return extension. I believe what actually makes it expensive is anything that requires going out beyond the existing foundations. So what you are describing sounds to me like it would be very expensive.

Thank you I shall have a loom for threw FAQ

James - do you know when the school could actually open on the site? At the Habs meeting someone raised a question around this and I think the answer was that NHS needs the site until 2017. Does that mean NHS can't even release the land for building on until 2017? If so, where does the school go in the 16/17 and possibly 17/18 school years?

@intexasatthe moment Was this a link on the word 'here'? > The details of the criteria can be found here. If so, would you be able to post the link? Thanks.

What Lowlander said. Plus check out if it makes sense to get a rail card. If it's a one-off trip probably not, but if you travel a lot by train, or even 2 or 3 times on longer journeys, they can pay back very quickly. Or you could hire a car. If you're not travelling alone, it can work out cheaper plus giving you lots of flexibility - you still need a lot of time, it's a long way. And I have occasionally found it cheaper to fly! FlyBe from LGW, BA from LHR. Though from ED, it's actually quicker to get the train from KX than to fly because you've got to get to LGW or LHR, and then there's the getting from NCL airport ...

Humph!? Apologies. I went to the new school meeting and thought I was told (I thought) by their chair of governors, that they had changed their policy from safest walking distance to as the crow flies - because it was unfairly excluding particular areas, e.g. Dog Kennel Hill Estate. Clearly I misunderstood.
