there is a ghost in heber apparently - not seen I myself but it was discussed a few years back and the tale seems to have spanned a few generations of students from what people were saying. Maybe not good to mention this to the current cohort as it seems to have dropped of the rumour radar.


eta an onsite caretaker who dies in mysterious circumstances years ago was mentioned as being the ghost

I'd hope the "current cohort" were smart enough to know that ghosts aren't actually... you know... real.


Do let me know if this is not the case, and I'll be sure to strike it off the shortlist for biscuits jr.

Gives me the Heber Jeebies

The lights were on in the school at night, all night, throughout the whole of the Christmas Holidays and, over the past weekend, the lights were on and some windows were open- so our council tax money is being spent 'wisely'- it looks like a case or two of 'the lights are on but there is no-one home'

If you only had the Internet, you could find their number and call them. what a shame.

Fair point- but I never remember in the cold light of day.....(I will refrain from pointing out that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit!)

    • Would wholeheartedly recommend Aria. Quality work, very responsive, lovely guy as well. 
    • A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“  
    • A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!        
    • Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
