After we had the front path tiled our front garden gate is now slightly too big and won?t open fully as it catches on the tiles. We?ve got round this by drilling a couple of extra holes and raising the gate a couple of inches on the hinges - but that means the gate can?t latch shut.

It?s been like that for many years but following the theft of plants from my front garden I?d quite like to be able to shut the gate properly -as if may deter a ?spur of the moment? plant thief if they have to open the gate!

Is it even possible to cut a couple of inches off a metal gate and then re-weld the bottom bar back on? If so, can anyone recommend someone who could do this?

- 4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

  It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton 🎩✏️
- GALA 2026

  Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed, which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

  So dangerous! Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it? Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
