I have been thinking of buying myself a 82nd birthday present next friday just to get me and the wife about.

Dont trust a Buggy as if the battery runs out I could not get it home so I have looked into an electric Bilke if that battery runs out I can peddle it home. I might give this Pope Mobile a try, it seems just the job for shopping,and I can put my Zimmmer in it, and the dog can sleep in it.

I wonder if I will have to wear a helmet?

Hi Shorty,


Just seen the thread, what a laugh. Happy Birthday and many more.

How is your wife getting on with the new extra long ladder you bought her for Christmas so she does not have to stretch so far when cleaning the gutters and windows, my wife love's hers, I think !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am spoiling her now, I am buying her a wheelbarrow, so that she does not have to carry the concrete she has mixed to the back of the garden to lay the foundations for the new 20 foot by 12 foot shed I am buying.

Any other ideas for presents I should buy her.

Hope you are having, or had a great "Birthday", depending on when you read this.

Good to hear that there are others that alow their other half to get involved, here Mrs Shorty helps me put up the roof trusses in the bungalow we built.

She likes being on the top scaffold to do the painting, I had to make the tea.

Never stop a willing hand.

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
