Hi,

Now that our daughter is nearly walking I'm finally getting stairgates, but am utterly confused about what size to get. I know we need the width to fit about 85cm. However none of the gates focus on height, which seems really important! In order to get to the "flat part" of the banister, the height from the floor is about 84-94cm, but stairgates either seem to be 73-76cm high or else over 95cm high. Am I being silly about this (we want screw fixed ones) - would a 75cm one fit because the gate wouldn't touch the floor and because the fittings are not at the very edges of the gate?

Any advice welcome before I order something online! If you know of one which is taller without being too tall, would love to hear about it.

Thank you very much

Dev

- Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

  Have you been back to Dugard & Daughters and discussed it with them yet? What was their response and reaction? There are other butchers to choose from. I've used the same one (not the one you mention) for probably 9-10 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Always get well looked after.

  Jump into Lewisham, just the other side of Woodvale is the "Horniman Heights" with a mix of semi's and larger Victorian houses. Probably safer and quieter than perhaps where you are and have been looking. And no need to blow £2m.

  As a resident in this part I would agree, with the proviso that it's quite hilly so not ideal cycling territory for the frailer or very much younger. Obviously good access to the South Circular, now virtually the only east: west route open after LTN closures. Only one blue plaque - C S Forester. Most houses are Victorian or Edwardian with some slightly earlier. Generally 4-6 Bedrooms depending on attic conversions.

  Doesn't sound too dissimilar to my engagements with the council! Zero chance of a balanced summary in a single place I am afraid - read anything by Peter Walker in the Guardian on the matter, then read anything in the Daily Mail on the matter and plot a course for somewhere between the two and there you shall find the truth!
