Ok - I understand that not all that many people have twin toddlers but once you also add in everyone with kids a year ish apart I should imagine that's quite a few ED families. So why, why, why have Sainsbury's only got one twin trolley? I am brassed off with spending my Saturday mornings scampering around the cap park looking for the bloody thing only to give up and shove them in one of the ones with rear facing seats that they are now too heavy for. I even asked the nice lady on customer services about whether it was worth filling in a suggestion form about it, only to be (very politely) told that a) they don't have any suggestion forms and b) there would be no point as "nothing would happen anyway".


Note to anyone with the same gripe - we went to the Asda on the Old Kent Road today and they have a veritable fleet of the things!

That's so odd because I went to Sainsbury's on Monday with my two (2 1/2 years apart) and as I walked across the car park with a child in each hand was approached by an employee asking if I wanted a twin trolly. I thought it was very helpful of him asking despite the fact that my eldest wouldn't fit in the seat. Now I'll know to jump at the chance next time.


Lesson to be learned - go to Sainsbury's on a Monday morning. ;-)

usually they are very helpful but often they don't actually find. i am livid with this as they now tell me to pull one twin out of the back yet don't provide an alternative trolley. my kids are that badly behaved it's just a lot faster to have both in the trolley so i can quickly dash around.


if anyone wants to bring it up, i have in person at the store, i am more than happy to sign something but i simply do not have the time to do more than that....

Excellent tip. I shall keep the faith in future and look out for red handles.... That's when i've finished dragging my wife away from angry confrontations with dangerous looking geezers parking in the parent and kids slots so that their girlfriends can run in and buy fags (ok admittedly that was just once, but I still get flashbacks)

    • Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and  particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally?  I've just been looking  through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned  were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022.  So it seems that, in this particular,  it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation.  I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.  
    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
