I had one this week. Told him I was recording the call for training purposes and assumed he was doing the same. He put the phone down.

tweeting @BTcare helps to cut through the company bureaucracy - I just used them to help escalate a complaint and they were pretty good. They can put you in touch with the right team and get prompt responses

Moving out of London for secondary school?
Ondine replied to HannahSE23's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I was in Orkney last summer with my teens - idyllic place - we all loved it and. as good holidays do, it got me wondering what we're doing in London. And then the schools went back while we were there and we ended up a few times on the local bus with all the teenagers going home from 2 different schools. My two are 15 and 17 so a long way through the good, bad and ugly of the SE London school system. The Orkney bus chat was like nothing I've ever heard - bored, fed up, drugs, alcohol, fights in school. Someone had OD'd after being accused of graffiti at the local youth club. Maybe less preoccupation with social media but it generally sounded a lot more stressful than anything I've come across. It was quite an eye opener and VERY useful perspective Only metal detectors my 2 have ever reported are occasionally at Peckham Rye station and not for a while, I think -
Just a point to consider is that you can use Wii U to stream to your TV - useful for Netflix etc. we had the original wii before and I can't remember if it had this capability. I have teen girls who love wii u - can play together or one can play on the console while someone else is watching TV - you might not need this much choice with young children.

Junie B Jones books are great for 4-6ish

Did you have a dig around on the school website? They used to publish an info sheet with the detailed routes.

Homophobic bulling in school, need some advice
Ondine replied to DenmotherSmith's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I have teens who have been through various hassles, seen it go on in school etc. Based on that, my instinct would be to overrule him and talk to the school about the issue in his cohort and ask them to get onto it with protection of your boy at the heart of the approach. I've had a number of issues where I've asked for my own DDs to be protected in this way and head of year/tutor have been very good at it. In our case, I always go directly to head of year as they typically have a very good understanding of the characters and dynamics FWIW my year 9 was just telling me yesterday how in her year group, the merest hint of homophopbia is entirely unacceptable and the kids all jump on it immediately whereas they were using gay as an insult not too long ago.
