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?

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
