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

      Bitten by dog on Heber Road

      By froggy · Posted

      I was bitten by a smallish dog (black terrier type), in lead, yesterday afternoon (Monday 2 March, approx 1.15pm) at the corner of Heber Road and Cyrena Road.  Nothing too serious, but I have a small wound on my calf and a hole in my jeans. The owner (a middle aged woman) couldn't control her dog, pretended it didn't happen and did a runner.  I managed to take a picture of her as she walked away.  Not a great picture but if you recognise her could you please DM some info so I can report the incident?  If only to ensure that she is spoken to, as this is obviously a dangerous dog and is not under control... Many thanks.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      I've got no wish to discuss this  again. I've already given my views on a previous  thread in the lounge. I take it you won't be voting Green, but I'm wondering quite where you are coming from with all these attacks on them? Where do your political sympathies lie?  This thread was supposed to be about James McAsh's move away from Labour 🙄 Anyway, it is hopefully another nice day and I'm off to do some gardening.

      We've got a pair of Dunnocks busy nest building in our bay tree.

      Yes!  Oh dear. I guess all you can do is feel sorry for them and be glad you are not like that.
