Sorry guys, not White Stuff, The White Company - I was confused at first too. One of my friends asked me if I had been to see the really nice candles for sale in there and me being confused and a big candle person went into White Stuff thinking she was talking about there and had a sales assistant give me a half baffled look. I felt a bit of an idiot. Is there one on North Cross Road? Does this store even exist around here? I'm now more confused than ever and don't even know if said store exists or not.

I like The White Company, I have bought clothes (on sale!) from there before; there is a branch opposite the rear of Peter Jones, off Sloane Square, one in Marylebone High Street, and one in Westfield Stratford, and they are on line. They don't just sell clothes, and their bed linen I love. But yes, they are expensive but I have never experienced poor quality from them. I think East Dulwich would be just the place they'd want to have a store.


End of adverts. I normally get paid for this kind of thing!

I'm happy to spend money on candles, wine and real ale, if they are in a reasonably priced range. I personally think a candle of the size I want, handmade with a beautiful scent, is a wonderful thing for a one off buy. For me a bargain would be between ?35 and ?57, anymore would be daylight robbery, any less would burn too quickly and smell horrible. A burger on the other hand, made with some bizarre road kill and sold from some ageing rusting camper van somehow deeming it 'cool', in the stated range of ?6 to ?12 and bought on a regular basis is the ultimate in middle class oneupmanship.

    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder    
    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
