I don't think things will even up particulary at 7. i.e. when a lot move on to the Hamlet (year 3), as just as many of my friends'/neighbours daughters have gone to (or will take entrance exams to) private schools (JAPS, Sydeneham or Alleyns) as sons (Dulwich College Prep, Dulwich Prep or Alleyns). Although people move in and out of the area so I suppose it should tend back to the norm.

It's definitely too small to be statistically significant but might be worth comparing with other areas with similar parent demographics.

Shettles... Hmm. Had friends try this when going for baby number 3 and wanting the opposite gender. It worked about 50% of the time. But the OS theory suggested certainly fits with it! And it would probably be unconcious gender selection IF it is right and does skew things a bit...

  That’s interesting, Dulwich Dweller; my 70 yr old neighbour told me 2 weeks ago that he’d left work early to go and book in person (being uncomfortable with all the online & app stuff) and was explicitly told that he needed to go away and book online. He’s not the sort of person to be insistent and, like a lot of older people, a bit embarrassed at his lack of digital ability, so he left without the appointment . This is my point about inconsistency, since his experience was quite different from yours. I’m beginning think that it rather depends on who, at Reception, you speak to on day…

  Wow, never had a disappointing meal there since they opened.. guess like every establishment, depends on the chef.. All for allowing an off day - good of you to post.. much better than chains - had awful service at Gail’s for eg..be it cake and tea or a meal.. They are so nice and accommodating..

  "I tried Viet Flavour and was disappointed. Their summer rolls especially were not at all good, stodgy and flavourless. Pho-OK. I'm hoping it will get better " Back in June I posted as above. I am glad to report that either the first time I went the restaurant was having an off day, or they have upped their game. I ordered the same things. The summer roll was exactly as it should be, and had a lovely dipping sauce. The Pho was delicious. My brother who was with me wanted to give it 10/10 but I always think you should leave room for improvement so gave it 9/10. Staff were lovely. I am so glad because I love Vietnamese food and now think I have a very good one just round the corner.
