These days police helicopters chasing after scoundrels of various sorts (and even military machines) seem to be a daily occurrence. I'd be slightly more surprised if a spaceship from the planet Nog decided to hover overhead and blast us with death rays.

It was. But relations have cooled since we offered them lemon sherbets rather than lemon sorbet during their last intergalactic twin-town visit.


And there was of course also the issue of their Noggini (offspring) drowning in Dulwich Park. (Which is of course the reason why work took place on the Park to build 12" high fences around the pools concerned. Don't listen to all that nonsense about geese.)

    • 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!
