https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded!

I personally think is a great idea Bobbly and would love if there was a section for it. I wouldn't offer free gardening under the "for sale" section as I would expect something in exchange and wouldn't expect our cat being looked after for free under the "wanted" section, as an example.

Looking for used decking boards. Should be hardwood

Long or short leads for children? Your second paragraph summarises how we should behave. Not really sure why this turned into a longish thread. Funnily enough young cyclists are most likely to get in my way in Dulwich Park. Not that this bothers me in the least.

I have fond memories of Govinda's I used to go there back in the 90's (maybe earlier) for an affordable tasty lunch..I was wondering if its still around. Now I have to make a point of going there. Does anyone else remember a really affordable basement cafe run by the church in a street off of Golden Square? parallel to Regent Street? I also used to love the Vegetarian cafe on Neal Street in the basement (Neal Street Cafe?) and there was an inczredible inexpensive authentic Japanese resturant I use to go to with my Japanese friends (who introduced me to it) tucked away behind Long Acre where that brown brick modern building ('modern' I think it went up in the 90's!) now stands that fronts Long Acre and Neal Street..I think it was called Asakasa or something?

Our amazing nanny is looking for a day a week with a new family. Ideally this is a Wednesday but can be flexible with Fridays also, if it’s a Friday that is needed. She also has Mondays available in January. She currently looks after our 6 month year old and our 4 year old, and they love her! She’s become part of the family - and is so helpful, emptying the dishwasher, cleaning up, cooking etc. Please contact her on: 07710 628676

I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi? Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone

If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

Hi Alejandro, wondering whether you still do private tutoring as well as your immersive language courses. My son is 18 and is on a gap year before university. He has recently started learning Spanish and is keen to build his skills and confidence in the language through some one to one sessions before doing anything more intense. Would be interested to know if you still do one to one lessons and if so can you let me know about cost and availability. Thanks

But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them, but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
