Hello, I know this isn't an ED business, but I was looking for a place that sold reclaimed wood and discovered this fantastic place run by the Shaw Trust, which supports disabled or disadvantaged people back to work, or with training, and thought it could do with a bit of a plug, and I don't think there's anything like it in our neck of the woods. The people were so friendly, and we saw the workshop where they make thing snd develop new skills, it was like being in the countryside (it practically is) and there's a small ruin to look at too! (The moated remains of Elizabeth I's spymaster's house - Francis Walsingham). The timber was cheaper than it would be from somewhere like B&Q - we got old scaff planks - and i thought people might be interested in knowing about this for garden projects etc etc. It's the Bromley Wood Recycling Project and they could do with more customers!!! Phone/e-mail them before you go to check their stock.

  What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.

  Why change it? You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.

  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
