Hugely impressive and shows the team's confidence. All the more enjoyable for shutting up the moaners in the commentary box who were dismissive of allowing Bell his century (even remembering what Atherton did to Hick when he was on 98) and thought the declaration too early.


A special mention for Boycott who moaned about Trott being 'one paced' and not going after the bowling enough during his double century - this from Boycott of all people, a batsman of one pace if ever there was one, who could bore fans to sleep on his way to a century.

I can't help but think that the current Sri Lankan team is over-burdened with initials. Cricketers historically are called CB Fry or WG Grace or MJK Smith if you're pushing things (Trott, Morgan and Broad all stretch to three of the current selection), but UWMBCA Welegedara, HMRKB Herath and the Jayawardenes (DPMD and HAPW respectively), I ask you!!!

451 for 8 and Pietersen on 183 (been cutting loose since he got to 150) - very good afternoon's work and Kumar got himself a five-for. Tomorrow is looking like a good day to be there Quids - and early too if we don't see England get a chance to bowl in the next 40mins or so.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
