Not useful, but we sent our niece (in Melbourne) a Paddington Bear from Hamleys when she was little. He 'visited' us on trips to London with her as she got older and she still has him now (she's 15). Also, they don't have BabyGap/Gap Kids over there so clothes from there have always gone down well with our family (as have M&S things as also not over there).

I had my daughter in Oz last year and things i found useful that my family here sent us were; non 'baby pink' clothes(the girls stuff in oz can be v expensive and a bit girly so loved all the h&m, and even supermarket stuff in polka dots and stripes etc that people sent us from the UK.) , practical things like baby monitor and digital thermometer are double the price in oz, nappy bags are v expensive too. Plus always got my mum to send me Sudocrem as couldn't ever find it there!


Hope that helps.

    • Cheers, they could also publicise the filming there - Entertaining Mr Sloane in particular. That's Beryl Reed, a friend of my late uncle.
    • Have you seen there is now information on the two notice boards in Camberwell Old Cemetery about the history of the cemetery and who is buried there
    • Everyone’s Invited made for shocking reading and, your right, the story never seemed to gain much traction. The whole thing felt very shady. 
    • Unfortunately there are two ways of examining this, if we even had the figures. The first is simply to look at the revenues paid to the Council and see if the costs (in terms of setting it up and recovery from it, including administrative cost) are less than the revenues. This would be quite simple to do assuming we could agree the proper allocation of those costs. But additionally we have the amenity cost to those Southwark residents either (a) losing amenity value through e.g. disruption, and secondly losing amenity value by being excluded from parts of a public park for an extended period in summer. That is not a fiscal cost to the council and clearly they don't give a damn, but that would be the only way of judging whether this event was of overall net benefit to Southwark residents, the only people who the council should be 'working' for. Don't hold your breaths.
