Hello


Due to our expanding family, we have decided to take the plunge and extend our kitchen. The new kitchen area will inlcude a casual seating area/living room and most likely as our kids get older an area for a computer where we can keep a beady eye on what they are looking at. Unfortunately, neither my husband nor I are particulalry IT savvy and have no idea on the latest things available. I think we are looking for some sort of integrated system, for example a tv, some way of playing music, speakers etc. That can be controlled by one system or even an iPad. I just wondered if anyone had used a consultant or something similar to help advise on what systems might be available and might work for us? Alternatively, if anyone knows of any good websites or has recently redone their home and got a similar sort of all in one system, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. We can spend some money on it, but nothing too flashy as the kitchen is already wiping us out!


Many thanks

As Jeremy said, buy a computer with a large monitor (if you're not IT savvy get an iMac).


If you really want to watch live TV as opposed to iPlayer / 4OD etc. then you'll need a USB tuner stick, just plug it in and go.


For movies sign up with LoveFilm or similar.


That's it, dead simple. The complexity is when you want to link to other rooms.


Edited to add, I've never been, but am sure if you went into the Apple store they'd show you how it all works and sell it to you there and then.

    • I’m pretty sure it was Brian of Advanced painting who renovated the outside perhaps he will know more he’s a long time resident
    • Would you like a copy of my spreadsheet? It's hours of fun.
    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
