If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks :-)

Was coming onto suggest this myself.

I'm reading "The Princess Bride" at the moment, quite amusing but the foreword is dire.


This bit made me smile, though probably for the wrong reasons:



"Why do you wear a mask and hood?" Fezzik asked.


"I think everybody will in the near future" was the man in black's reply. "They're terribly comfortable."

    • Given the recent and numerous reportings of violence and intimidation, this was preventable and it just beggars the question of what actually gets the police up and doing something.
    • I quote from the News Shopper A post on social media network Nextdoor by someone who says they know the victim expands on their reported injuries. This is not exactly first hand. The mET say A 48-year-old man alleges he was injured
    • A couple of cloves sliced in half or quartered, boil for around 10 minutes or until it is giving off aroma, then add to a spray bottle once cooled.
    • There are planes going to more than one London airport. It's been discussed on here before, but I can't remember the exact details. Also if memory serves it depends on the prevailing wind exactly what route the planes take on a particular day, but I may be wrong there. Or maybe they vary the route so the same people don't get the noise each time? I moved here (also North Cross Road area) over thirty years ago and the plane noise has always been bad. I don't think it's got any worse, though it may have done. It has always started around 5am or a bit earlier ( on the days the planes take that route, I suppose?) Concord used to fly over around 5pm each day. That was excellent. It always seemed to be directly over my house, but due to the height of planes I guess many people think they are directly over their house! Triple glazing in my bedroom has helped, but not completely,  though it wasn't installed for that reason.
