setting of the alarms outwide Bullwood Hall Womens Prison in Essex, age 16 place lit up like a Christmas tree while we were showing our bits to the screaming ladies. 4 police Cars turned up very quickly thinking the ladies had done a bunk.


oh how we laughed done the station at that one

I spent about three hours in a police cell aged 12. I had been caught bunking off school (my mother actually would call the police on such occasions) and they found me in Leicester Square Empire cinema watching A Chorus Line. I think she must have told them to lock me up to scare me..... I got the full works - stripped of my hairband and my money belt. I refused dinner and instead spent the entire time turning pirouettes like some crazed thing - don't think the cell had ever seen such action.


Five years later I came into regular contact over three summers with the old bill as a tap dancer busking in Leicester Square and Covent Garden.... that film had a lot to answer for.

Tis not quite the "southbank" (over side of bridge and all that and not the same complex)


I deviate away from this thread.


Am I considered hard core if I say me m8 got arrested for setting a bin on fire whilst under the influence of slightly illegal substances when he were a teen? ;-)

Scary and also extremely dangerous. Good job we have a world-leading fire service to protect us...;-)

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
