I have no argument with Narnia who has explained his reason for asking, but I agree with Huguenot. His argument seemed to me largely impersonal.

My question annaj to H was left to the end and in a new paragraph if I remember correctly, to distance it from the rest of the post and to avoid making it the trite response you refer to it as. I actually appreciated his post though it was coming from somewhere other than where I was at.


My son is fine.........I expect. He'd be on the phone otherwise.

I'm with annaj, i think Huguenots contribution was perfect and annajs response was equally well measured.

Her point also valid regarding your note of parenting as being some sort of qualification to provide a valued contribution?


Maybe all getting a bit too personal for an internet forum?


(i am a parent, if that qualifies me in anyway?)


Sorry if i missed anything.

Unfortunately this happens, at University or Colleges when you share a fridge part of student life I never had that experince I was living at home and then on my own I did not fancy sharing with anybody I tend to be a bit of a tidy freak and the horror stories I heard from other student remind me of the Young Ones sharing did not appeal to me back then.

It was young ones'ish in halls in the 80s IIRC. Everything in the communal fridge and areas was ... considered communal property. It was like school ... with no teachers in some ways. No TV in rooms - we watched Spitting Image in the shared lounge, No Internet (hadn't been invented), Kitchen full of unwashed pans and plates.


No outsiders could get in however, and we lived on the Kings Road (halls long since sold off). My local was the Worlds End if it wasn't Students Union happy hour (most nights it was).

    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
