Just passed my test today at the age of 49 - first time - and over the moon. I had lessons in my early twenties but on moving to London, didn't need to drive and so gave up. Then, with the pandemic, it seemed like a good idea to take it up again. Of course, my lessons were interrupted by the lockdowns but we persevered.

 

I can wholeheartedly recommend my driving instructor, Nick. We started off in his car with dual controls but very quickly - because I'd had lessons years ago - we were able to have lessons in my own car. Nick is patient, and works really hard to put you at your ease. He stays calm, whatever happens, and is very re-assuring. I always felt safe when out lessons, even without the dual control. His details are: Nick, 07956 221 706, www.nicholasdrivingacademy.co.uk.

Fresh from passing my practical driving test and I can absolutely concur that Nick of Nicholas Driving Academy is great! Having been in London for 7 years after living and driving in New York City for most of my life, having to do the whole test thing was annoying and frustrating. Nick understood that I was an experienced driver, but also knew that with experience and driving in a different country come "bad" habits and different rules. He patiently and cheerfully got me in shape to drive British-style. And I finally have my British license!!!

If anyone has got a New Year's Resolution to learn to drive, I can recommend Nicholas Driving Academy. I had lessons with Nick in between lockdowns and passed my test about a year ago - I'm an oldster, and maybe a bit lacking in confidence because of that, but I passed first time with only two minors. Nick knows how to put you at ease, he's relaxed and really focuses on the practical stuff of actually driving a car, rather than learning a lot of theory.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
