Just found out to my great annoyance that Addison lee have randomly stopped their babyseat service. This was only suitable for 1yr and up but SO useful( esp annoying as booking a cab for six am tomorrow - gah!).


Does anyone know if there are black cab firms that can be booked? I know some minicab firms round here say they provide carseats but we've been shafted by them in the past, so I think black cab poss best option.


Must say am gutted as I rely on AL loads, grrr.

Clockwork cars (if you google them they're beckenham based but have drivers all over) also no longer do car seats, although they did used to provide the service whereby they would hold on to your own car seat for you and ensure it was used for the return journey - not sure if they still do that, but worth a call to them I think - they are comparable with Addison Lee in terms of quality (and price)
We have been using Linkway Cars based in Honor Oak lately and they do car seats. I think that they are very likely donated seats that the drivers kids are no longer using but they were in good shape and the correct size. We actually were let down by another cab company at 7 a.m. and were lucky that a lovely Linkway driver was driving by and went to the office picked up the seat and took us to Gatwick in time. Will be using them again.

We use www.airportsdirectservices.co.uk and they have been great. They've always turned up with the child seat, on time, helpful drivers and nice cars. I'm not sure what their last minute booking system is like though as we've always booked a few days in advance.

    • At present several large retailers such as Co-op, Tesco, Waitrose, John Lewis, and Next use a cloud-based facial recognition system that gives instant alerts to the entry on the premises of known shoplifters.  Around £19 million incidents of retail theft (some with attacks on staff) occur ever year in the UK amounting in value to £2.6 Billion in value, involving 41,000 known offenders. Shoplifting adds to the retailer's costs and this is passed on eventually to honest shoppers, isn't there a case for F.R. to become mandatory at all retailers?
    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks
