Thank you spymun


Congratulations Mother Superior DM


I have been absent from the forum for easter so I am sorry this has not come sooner.


The first glass of laurent perrier sunday morning was an absolute delight. I am really pleased I made it to the end, now bring on the summer and V&Ts in the garden.


Thank you for your support it was good to know others were with me. Every one who did the lent thing I hope youve enjoyed yourself and had a little indulgence as a celebration.

Darling Mr Batdog,


I don't know, I am rather partial to a Riedel Sommeliers Chablis glass myself.

I sound very brave don't I? James will not let me touch his glasses unless he is drinking too - I am a butter fingers who is trusted only with an Ikea tumbler!

Dear D-Mum,


I agree that a Riedel glass is of a superior quality but nothing can beat a swarovski pure crystal http://shop.swarovski.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en_GB/-/GBP/SW_DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=NtmppKzU0tHqKurP7hxzlMXego863ug287E=?Banner_ID=04000781%2e352&DeepProductSKU=626624

of course you'll have to invest over a ?100 for each glass BUT it is worth, otherwise better than a Riedel a hand made Murano glass from the Italian masters http://www.e-muranoshop.com/cat264.php

Wine tastes even better (tu) and for a lady of your "status" it is such a small but compulsory investment...

Darling Batdog,


You know if it were not for the fact that Gordon Ramsays own sommeliers have insisted to me that wine can only be appreciated fully when consumed from a Riedel, then I would concede.


On the other hand, you know there is so much pretention attached to food, I think I would enjoy Champagne with you if I was drinking it from a plastic beaker...

    • But without knowing the cause of the repeated leaks, it's impossible to comment really. Poor repairs? Something wrong further up the system? Lack of maintenance?  When one of the leaks in our road recurred shortly after it had been repaired, a TW guy said to me that the repairers must have jumped too hard on the asphalt (?) laid above the point of the repair when they were getting it to settle (?) and broken the repair. I wasn't sure if he was joking or not 🤣
    • But in many cases the leaks are happening in the same places again and again, and every inch of pipe outside the Horniman on the South Circular must have been replaced at least 3 times in the last 15 years! Of course the infrastructure in some areas is old, but locally there's been quite a bit of replacement. To little effect it would seem. 
    • Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
    • Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.
