It seems like a perfectly sensible question to me in relation particularly to school streets, given the effect of pollution on children.

It is really quite worrying. Surely someone must be responsible for checking prices are the same at checkout as they are displayed on the shelf? I hate Sainsbury's, and rarely use it except occasionally to pick things up from Argos, but surely this must be carelessness and inefficiency and possibly poor supervision, not deliberate?

Yes. Hundreds of them, judging by the Photinias I see everywhere I go 🤮 I don't notice them until the horrid (imo) red leaves start appearing! Irrational, as I said. I can't bear privet either. I hate the smell of its flowers 🤮 Anyway, please go back to discussing fallen leaves. Sorry, admin. Other things have colour! Camellias have lovely flowers in the gloomy season!

Yes, not local but covers this area and is fully qualified, which some of them aren't. I originally found him via this society when I phoned them with a query. https://pyramusandthisbesociety.org/ He was excellent. Michael Cooper.

I've had something similar happen. I noticed it at the checkout because I was only buying one item which I couldn't get elsewhere. It was on special offer and the price difference was significant. I was asked to go right to the other, far, side of the shop to take a photo of the shelf price. It was just before Christmas (not this year), the shop was jam-packed, and I am ancient and decrepit. Long saga, but I complained and said surely the correct prices should be on whatever resource (?) is used at the till when products are scanned in. I'd have to look back to see the exact outcome, but if memory serves Sainsbury's just gave some bland reply and said complaints weren't passed on to the store 😮

I know it's irrational, but they are everywhere. No offence, but in many cases it seems a lazy (OK, sensible!) choice because they are evergreen, change with the seasons and are relatively low maintenance. However it's become a running joke with my partner and daughter. At least Photinias don't drop their leaves, though!

Please don't encourage people who want the trees removed! I love seeing all the trees round here! My war is against Photinias. I bloody hate them. They are everywhere. And they are just getting their horrible red leaves at the top. My partner points them out to me from the tops of buses. My daughter sends me videos of them to taunt me 🤣

Thanks very much all, very helpful.

Great, thanks! Great, thanks, never heard of these before, that's useful. That's a very odd photo to use for the teenage girl.

Thank you, but I can't see anything mentioned anywhere except food?

Are there any local food banks (or womens' refuges) which could make use of/would take unused and partly used toiletries? Things like shampoo, soap with a dispenser and bubble bath?

Oh ok, I've looked at it again and I agree I misread it. You are right. I hadn't realised there were two separate parks. I just looked on a map. I have only been to the smaller one, with the pond.
