    My neighbour has one of these cars and I have never seen her with passengers or carrying goods. Can understand if they need to carry a wheelchair or small mobility scooter. Must admit I do not drive down certain roads as I know that there is insufficient room for 2 cars to pass.

    Classic IKEA Billy bookcase, only three years old and in great nick. Dimensions are 80x28x202cm - for more information on the Billy go here: BILLY bookcase white, 80x28x202 cm - IKEA UK You can buy various doors / extension shelves at IKEA that will fit this model if you want to customise it (e.g. make it into a dresser / cupboard instead of an open bookcase) - very versatile. Comes with fixings to attach to your wall (highly recommended for safety). £20. Collection only. Please note, I live on the fourth floor and this sadly doesn't fit in the lift - however, I guarantee it can be carried down the stairs as have already got rid of one last week. I can help carry it down though preferred if you come as a pair to handle it. Fits in a car but you might have to tie the boot shut. Free parking most of the day, available evenings, Friday daytime or weekends for collection. Based in Denmark Hill.

    Must have been around 15- 20 years ago our house was repainted. I remember the cost of scaffolding was more expensive than the decorators.

    Up to a mile. Another way to say that is less than a mile for the majority. That is walking distance for any able bodied person. We have an epidemic of inactivity and obesity. We also have a lot of serious injuries and deaths on our roads, issues of congestion, poor air quality, and serious climate change occurring. We should not be encouraging people to use heavy machinery to travel extremely short distances that are easily walked imo. I also regularly see people sitting in their cars with the engine idling. It's not most, it's a handful. The Schools also recognise this and regularly remind parents not to do it, so it's not just my observation.

SPEAKERS & EVENTS: Talk: Looking after our War Graves: Gardening Globally in a Changing Climate Adam Blunt, Commonwealth War Graves Commission Join Adam on a journey through the cemeteries of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), the world’s largest gardening organisation. From the deserts of North Africa to the rain-soaked landscapes of Northern Europe, the CWGC cares for the resting places of the fallen across every climate zone. This global responsibility places them at the forefront of climate change challenges, demanding innovation in horticultural design and craft skills. Discover how they honour heritage while pioneering sustainable horticulture, tackling extremes of weather and environmental change head-on. Adam's talk will introduce what they do around the world and their heritage landscapes before looking at some current projects and the work the CWGC are doing with Tom Stuart Smith, Andrew Fisher Tomlin, and Joe Perkins to drive sustainability and bring commemoration to a new audiences through planting and landscape design. Talk: Green Walls & Vertical Greening Chetan Rama, Senior Project Manager at Biotecture Join us in welcoming Chetan Rama, Senior Project Manager at Biotecture, the UK’s largest living‑wall company.

    Hello Stacy, I am interested in your therapy room. I am a well established acupuncturist. I am looking for a therapy room, long term, for a couple of afternoons / evenings x week. The clinic were I am working is being sold and I need to find a new one very soon. I am a very respectful and trustworthy person. I have work for NHS and a GP surgery for 20 years as an acupuncturist. My number is 079419 79541 and I would really appreciate if you could give me a ring and maybe arrange to see the room. Kind regards, Lola Boix

    @Sue said: nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? This is the point. Adults are meant to teach their children by example. It sounds as though the adult guardian/ father in this case did not react appropriately. Had a truly sincere apology been given, I suspect the OP would not have posted on here. It is possible the OP snapped in the heat of the moment, but they were possibly startled because they were hit from behind? If we are startled it can be instinctive to initially react with anger. I also agree that it would be highly irresponsible to let any very young child ride or walk or do anything on a busy public street without supervision- most of all to protect the child. If in this case the child was out of the adult's line of sight that is perhaps another indication that the father needs a refresh in appropriate behaviour around a child, as well as his manners.

    Malumbu, if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone he apparently did not give them any kind of warning d) a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post? f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

    I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy Louisa.

    How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials. Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.

    How far did you go to get to primary school? Mine was about a mile, we bussed it until we were old enough to walk (about 7) when we could spend the bus money on sweets. Particularly on the way home as it was downhill. Sadly my teeth have since suffered. That is really a left field comment. Growing up I knew nothing about faith schools. At Youth Club I found out that some of the kids from Irish backgrounds got the bus to a 'Sacred Heart'. I didn't understand why. I do now, sort of (believing that schooling should be secular) London appears to be well served by faith schools. The vast majority going to faith schools or others, will be within a relatively close distance.

    Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here. Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title. I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement. A bit late for ice, but it can still happen. We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots. Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes. Those damned Lime bikes? But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning. Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely. I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post. We were not there. We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents. My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already. But a four year old? Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
