Do you mean this

In which case I agree with Myleen. I think it totally takes the piss to request money for your kids birthday so that they can get a kindle. Either buy your kid a Kindle or tell them to save their pocket / birthday money for one. Don't expect other people to chip in, especially when other people may not have that much spare cash.

There has been a lot of discussion about this on talk radio the last couple of days. I tend to agree it's poor manners on the part of the mothers involved - I have a sister-in-law who does that kind of controlling/entitled thing and my family find it pretty rude - but what's more revolting is seeing someone using their celebrity status to humiliate other people in this way. She compounded it when another mother asked her in the playground what she thought she was doing and she told them to come and talk to her in private if they had a problem, which seems a bit rich. Also likely to rebound on her poor daughter.

BTW I read somewhere a few weeks ago that the effect on your brain of a Kindle is the same as using a computer in that if you use it before sleep time it will cause wakefulness and problems getting to sleep. I was contemplating getting a Kindle but changed my mind as I read mainly to get off to sleep. So on medical grounds they are not a good idea if this is true!

I agree with RPC -should never have been made public.

That's a little harsh - Klass is a an successful ex-pop star and classically trained musician with a few albums to her name. She's hardly in the same cesspit as the Paris Hiltons/Kardasians/Calum Bests of this world.

Generous... reality TV contestant who won a place in a manufactured kiddie band, had one album and lasted 18 months.

Well.. she can play piano. Strictly amateur standard.

Paul Gascoigne recorded a hit record too.

One rung up. That's it.

Suspect it depends on the Kindle. Recent ones are basically tablets, so wouldn't be surprided if they disturbed sleep. Kindles from 3 or 4 years back had screens which didn't glow and were easy on the eye. My missus often reads in bed with hers and doesn't seem to have any problems.

Yes, I have one that I got back in 2010 and regularly manage to fall asleep in bed whilst reading it. I know a lot of people think it's silly having an ereader rather than a more fancy tablet, but the lack of a back light screen is great, makes it easier to read on the beach and am sure it improves the battery life too.

TBH I don't have kids but i totally get the POV of the original emailer.


Some points -

1. Isn't it better to get 1 present that is wanted rather than 30 bits of assorted little bits of junk are going to end up in the bin or gifted on to someone else?

2. Isn't it a bit easier for the person buying a gift not to actually out and look for a ft?

3. Didn't the email say the amount given was just a suggestion? You could get something else, or indeed nothing at all if you wanted?

4. The original email is over a year old, yet MK chose to release it now....publicity???

    • Most women are killed by someone they know, not a stranger. However I think all women moderate their behaviour when on their own, walking at night especially as they fear danger.Two interesting articles https://www.statista.com/statistics/288298/female-victims-of-homicide-england-and-wales-by-relationship-to-offender/?srsltid=AfmBOoqZ9-CIEJWe9kesKy2G_KWxjXPh-tXMRsLvKim0M6mS00dksiKH https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/sep/23/majority-of-girls-and-young-women-in-uk-alter-behaviour-to-feel-safe-study-finds?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other   Other crimes https://crimerate.co.uk/london personally I always go for the most crowded train carriage late evening and I carry my keys in my hand when walking from the train station…. It’s that fear of violence that is scary …
    • What ever they decide I would have thought that the skate park would not be staying but really hope I am wrong as in my minds eye, I see the skate park as potential parking spaces after all if it is going to be community, flats, retail units, cafe, etc folks are going to want to have the parking availability - Amir like the parade of shops opposite. if the skate park goes then I think it is Dulwich Estate obligation to find another suitable area… a lot of community spirit and hard work went into developing the skate park and the youngsters should be very proud of what they have done  and achieved. 
    • Hi all My car was stolen between 1.30pm-1.50pm today in SE22 East Dulwich in South East London. I have of course reported this to the police but not much is being done, so I thought I'd give this a shot. The registration is GM66YOV, though its possible the licence plate may have been changed by now. If you see it anywhere please contact me or the police. Thankyou!
    • Years ago, got my ears pierced, alcohol on site, gun ..done.. Simple.. Gosh, surely your daughter of mothers can recommend  - do you really need to post on forum? Or maybe you home school whatever.. still recovering from shock, posted along the lines of, advice needed about adopting/ buying a dog…. Guess I am now at a age, where I should just keep quiet and pass no comment and read  postings like a “soap” - cheaper than tv licence…
