Ha! The compact edition and its accompanying magnifying glass has been an obsession since I was about six, and my old man passed it on to me when someone gave him the latest edition as a retirement gift. I'm hoping to avoid arrest in the foreseeable future, but it has a very good chance of coming with me to the desert island when Kirsty (or Lauren as it is now) calls - just matter of time...

Barber or hairdresser? That sounds a reasonable price for that kind of service. I?ve never had a hairdresser wash my hair again to get bits out @fter cutting.

Actually sounds sensible.


The danger of course is you'll run into Gavin Henson.

Sorry to revive old thread but I was talking to the owner of a salon and they had good advice. If it?s over ?50 for standard haircut they don?t necessarily expect a tip as they are very well paid. If it?s under ?30/40 then a tip is great. Under ?30 definitely tip.

Made sense to me!

Well, certainly cheap, but it depends on the quality of the cut, doesn't it?

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
