Definitely - it needs you to join an organisation which offers amazing opportunity, superb training, world class leadership and responsibility, travel across the world and an exceptionally good pay and benefits package, as well as getting to get transferable skills that benefit you in later life.


A full/spare time career in the RN is a great way to get ahead in life.

And the chance to help kill people.

If anyone is interested, the Quakers and the charity Forces Watch have campaigns challenging militarism in public life and particularly in schools. Find out more here:

Is that why we are bombing Syria, to be safe in London?

Having worked in aspects of targeting, I can assure you that we do not indiscriminately bomb at random. We leave acts of barbarity like that to the Russians.


Syria is a hugely complex situation, which can have repercussions here in the UK and elsewhere. So yes, it is to keep us safe.


The sad reality is we live in a challenging, difficult world and its not always possible to live it without having to do difficult things.

We're not going to agree on this, so I suggest it is probably a fairly pointless discussion to have.

    • We’re happy at purple jay Herne Hill (on greendale).    In my experience and some friends, calling lots closer to start time might get you a spot! We were lucky previously and someone changed their days for us so we could have a spot.    and have been on a waitlist for more than a year somewhere else but without chasing wouldn’t have received a spot. 
    • Also adding a recommendation here for Andy (who I found here on this forum). He and another colleague decorated and replaced the floor in our living room (laminate replaced with LVT). He was really helpful in giving us suggestions beforehand, like what to prepare to make their job as efficient as possible, ideas of different styles for trims and features to help us make final decisions, and recommended places to source some of the materials we needed. Really happy we got them in - they were efficient and polite and we felt comfortable having them having them in our home. They finished in good time and we're so happy in the newly updated space! Thanks Andy. 
    • Depends on which side of the tracks you are on in FH, here is the latest Rightmove listings for SE23, you can buy a nice property for well less that that magic £2m. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?searchType=SALE&locationIdentifier=OUTCODE^2324&insId=1&radius=0.0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&minBedrooms=&maxBedrooms=&displayPropertyType=&maxDaysSinceAdded=&_includeSSTC=on&sortByPriceDescending=&primaryDisplayPropertyType=&secondaryDisplayPropertyType=&oldDisplayPropertyType=&oldPrimaryDisplayPropertyType=&newHome=&auction=false  
    • Piplings has gone downhill massively - I know several parents who have pulled their kids out in the last 18 months. I don't have firsthand experience, but lots of negative feedback from local families. The building is also up for sale so you might find the nursery closes when that sale goes through...
