Seb used to have one of those drawling things- magnetic "pad" with a special pen that you could draw on I with, then an eraser which was on a sliding bar at the bottom. He loved it but chucked it from his pushchair a few weeks ago. We are taking him on a 7hr flight on Wednesday and feel it will be invaluable but haven't got a clue where I'd get one from?!


As a slight aside; are toddlers allowed their own handluggage (mini backpack) on flights?

(we are flying BA)


Ta!

I don't know re etch a sketch I'm afraid although I'm sure I've seen cheapo versions in the Peckham pound shops. If not Argos? Pound shop also sells fake toy iPhones... ;)


But toddlers (and babies) get full hand (and hold) luggage allowance I think. Was certainly the case on our flight, regardless of having a seat. So you basically have 4x hand luggage allowance - loads! I think I said my handbag was baby's but they could have their own bag instead. It's kind of fair enough given the amount of detritus these babes require on long journeys!

I bought a little version of an etch a sketch in ELC in Mothercare Peckham. Bought it esp for a flight to NZ and it's still a big hit with my 18 month old, even though he won't use the larger version his sister has! Was earlier this year but ELC still do them so possibly in stock.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
