A friend?? On Underhill Road??


Please tell us you were taking a food parcel and some old clothes to the mother of your gardener.

Cannabis farms don't get heated at night. The light/dark timing to fool the plants into a state where they produce flowers constantly is not related to the 24 hour clock. So at any time of the day they can be on or off. And if the police decided to use helicopters to search for cannabis farms using heat detection they would have a challenge on their hands. If you hover over London looking at houses that produce heat out of their lofts you will see thousands of houses. The idea that the police could (or even should) get a warrant to break down the front door of a house just because it has a warm roof is just ridiculous. And what about the problem of cannabis farms that happen to be in the basement? The police would have to rethink their whole strategy.

Most farms are run by teh Viets nowadays and they work on a 5:1 basis a, budgeting for one bust for every 5 operations - they lose a grands or twos worth of HP equipment and some illegal imigrant lackey gets arrested/ jailed / deported , but it a very lucrative business and very hard to stop


Oddly, most of the busts are on information received from other "farmers", looking to trim their competitors harvest - its not often the Polis helicopter detects them.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
