Morning, I know this isn't officially a 'discussion' post but I'm trying to spread the word about an amazing family fun day that's happening in Catford on Saturday 13th September. My friend Rachel and her family who live in Forest Hill have organised the day to help raise funds for the charity ?Dreams Come True? after her 2-year-old son Myles (who has a twin sister Mia) died in February this year after a nine-month battle with cancer. Three weeks before he died,?Dreams Come True? made it possible for their family to visit London Zoo. Myles loves animals and had a brilliant day and it provided Rachel and her husband Jonny with some precious memories and photographs. The loss of a child is the most devastating thing any parent can face and Rachel has put all of her energies into organising a fun day in Myles' memory and to raise money to help make other seriously and terminally ill children?s dreams come true and give families, like theirs, some special memories. There are 40,000 children undergoing palliative care in the UK every year and Dreams Come True?s passion is to try and reach every one of them. We want to make the day a huge success but we need your help. You can help by firstly coming along to the fun day at the Jubilee sports ground in Catford on Saturday 13th September from 11am until 4pm. There is an amazing line up of things on offer from dance and football workshops, stalls, food, drink, bouncy castles, animal displays, Monkey Music classes, hula hooping. Rod Campbell, author of the well-known children's book 'Dear Zoo', will be doing a story telling session as will other well known children's authors. Please see the website for more details www.dreamsfunday.co.uk

Please help us spread the word by liking us on Facebook and following us on Twitter @dreamsfunday

We are also after donations of good quality books (adults and childrens) and almost new clothes (so clothes that perhaps still have their tags on that you have gone off or never worn for whatever reason). We are also after donations of cakes that we can sell on the day. Please PM me if you think you can help in any way. We really appreciate you support x

      Will Mandelson be accepted across the pond.

      By malumbu · Posted

      I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson ather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.

      John Marx (Top Marx Kitchens): highly recommended kitchen fitter

      By enya · Posted

      We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Suggsy · Posted

      Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely.

      My view is that any party that welcomes a self-declared Marxist would merit a negative point.
