Saila,


My 2 year old has just (in the past week or so) discovered TV in the true sense. Now every morning I get begged for either Fimbles, Pepper Pig or Tellytubbies, all of which we have on DVD. She is mad on Numberjacks too, so think maybe Father Christmas will be bringing that on DVD in a few weeks time. I must admit it is a godsend when trying to get entire family up and ready for work/school/childminder etc. and also at the end of the day as a wind down pre bathtime.


I don't recall our first daughter suddenly getting TV in quite the same way, it has been such a clear transition this time around.


Hope you had a good evening!

Yes. Children do get bored of television, if you leave it on. Restrict it and it becomes addictively attractive.

It's like the chocolate factory workers who are allowed to eat as much as they like. They soon get sick of it and don't bother.

I restrict the amount of TV my kids watch, within reason. My daughter isn't really that interested, at most will sit for 30 minutes. Son sat on a plane from London to Singapore and watched Disney's "Princess and the Frog" on repeat for 12 hours, I don't even think he blinked...

I don't blame him, fab movie ;o)


I rely on youtube/demand five/bbc iplayer to get stuff done in the precious time when little miss 11 weeks is sleeping, TV is ok but mister 2 and a bit stands way too close if I don't remind him not to, and if I put a DVD he like to play at pushing the open/close button and putting the DVD in and out of the case, needless to say they don't last long this way.

If he's in his high chair in the kitchen at least he's contained...

Rupert Bear dvd seems to be my 2yr 2 months favourite when getting home at 6pm, after his long day at nursery. Have to say that this is good for me while trying to get dinner ready after a long day at work!! He puts dvd in and waits for me to press play and is happy singing out what Rupert and pals are doing while I'm in the kitchen. No concerns about his tv watching as most times if it is on during the day, on the weekend, he will ignore it. Whatever works I say!!

    • Would you like a copy of my spreadsheet? It's hours of fun.
    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
