KEEP meaning to post about this but get side tracked by mountaineering toddler. We bought some of these, as sold in JoJo MB, with an adorable ladybird backpack, intended I think in PC bid to disguise fact that they are indeed reins. Lovely idea but as the harness point is one attachment at the back of the neck, on the backpack, a) they are much harder to use to get any real control over your child when they are making a bid for the road than the two point traditional harness, and b), more worryingly, if your child turns the cord readily wraps around their neck. This isn't great clearly, but if they then slipped I think it would be really dangerous. No such drama befell O in his one outing in them, but we were so unimpressed when he simply turned towards us and got the strap around his neck that we took them straight back. JJMB were very good about it, although surprisingly they did say was a bestseller and that this problem had never been reported by anyone else, but I was seriously unimpressed by the design and would not recommend them. We have since bought the old style harness for a fraction of the price and it is much better, simpler and more effective.

    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
