Not with kids so probably not helpful but I lived in Mumbai for about 8 months. Some of the expats I knew had children but not many. I love Mumbai and would love to go back with my family and young children someday! It was a very hard adjustment but that was 10 years ago and the city has changed hugely since then. I imagine you probably know both cities but if not, I can describe some of the major challenges. Pollution, traffic, segregation/inequality, heat/humidity would be the concerns I'd have about young children generally...just off the top of my head. I'm sure others will know more about details like school places, childcare, etc.

      Whistle noise every few minutes - between Landcroft road and Lordship lane

      By Kp1987 · Posted

      Hi ED, I live on Landcroft road, and from the windows of the back of the property you can hear a whistling noise in the area (sounds like a faulty boiler but louder) occurring every 5-10 minutes for a few seconds. It has been happening for the past week at least. It does not seem to come from the immediate homes around. Does anyone know what this is or where it is coming from? Thanks!

      Another strong endorsement for Niko! He installed a new tap and fixed a leaky radiator at mine this week and I couldn't be happier. To top it off, he's friendly, honest and really goes the extra mile. Give him a call.

      Anyone else got a problem with UPS deliveries?

      By Brian up the hill · Posted

      Last year I ordered a coffee grinder as a Christmas present, to be sent to a friend in a Greece. The order was made in mid-November. Unfortunately, the retailer sent it by UPS. There started a grindingly frustrating two months of being caught in the Möbius Loop of UPS bureaucracy and incompetence. They kept claiming that the address couldn’t be found and despite having two telephone numbers, not once did they phone the recipient. Then I changed the delivery to an estate agent’s office in the nearby main village, situated on the main street with clear address, telephone numbers  and signs. Again, they claimed not to be able to find the address, which was farcical. Yet again, they made no attempt to phone to check. Eventually, the parcel was delivered at the end of January and yes, a vital part was broken. It was clear that the parcel was lying around in a depot and was chucked in a corner to be covered with other boxes and packets. When I tried to claim the cost of replacing the broken part, they indulged in the sort of passive aggressive stalling that corporate behemoths like them are so good at. Eventually I gave up and took the spare part with me when visiting. I have to say that they are the worst company I’ve ever dealt with, along with Scottish Power. I wouldn’t trust them to deliver anything and make sure I tell anyone who wants to listen that they should avoid them like the plague!
