It is a general principle that outsiders see the tacit predispositions of insiders more clearly than insiders could (Elias). This is one of the major reasons why, tribally, we tend to form alliances that idealise our own virtues and denigrate the other (to keep them from forcing a revelation).


I think we should be more resolute in thinking of ourselves as subjects of myth. So when the other appears, even if, as here, in a restaurant review, we should think that there is probably truth in it. Our default position should be to think of the possibility of that truth, not denigrate the other.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
