  9. Its and old trick that has been passed down over the years by word of mouth in the pub and with a rapidly dimishing half life - originally used by pickpockets in the 16th century, where a victim was bumped by an accomplice to find out the location of his money bag, a chalk mark was left on the victim so the secondary pickpocket could move in and deftly lift the bag od groats or whatever.True,It was reasonably common in victorian times, where door to door hawkers were able to scope the "joint" & mark it up for their burgular chums to come along later in the day.Its not something to lose sleep over these days

Hmmm not in my ( long ) experience The cynic would say The FSA is a de facto trade group, funded by the banks themselves - regulation is usually a reaction to a scandal, as the banks cry fould when anyone tries to get involved in their "rightful" business - there is a great deal of pussyfooting arou8nd - the Banks Bully the regulators and bully their auditors, knowing they can get away with it The big few auditots have less idea of how to value a complex product that the babks do, and a bit of back testing ( based on the banks own information ) is usually enough to get the audit signed off - remember Enron? better to tuern a blind eye than lose a contract The markets themselves are usually SRO's - self regulators and if anyone has experinced compliance issues with , for example, the base Metals markets, you will understand that they are toothless when it comes to forcing anyone of influence, to tow the line The products that have gone pear shaped are hardly regulated, just because of the obtuse nature of the product and the inability to determoine accurate valuations, often due the to the opaque nature of these illiquid contracts Compliance isn bandied about, but the reality is that making ? take priority

Oh what snobby xenophobia!!! Au pairs provide a great flexible dovetail childcare solution. By dovetail, I mean before and after nursery - plus additional ad-hoc childcare. We've had 4 excellent aupairs (all East European), initially because we did not want our baby in nursery for 10 hours a day. With the aupair, he could breakfast leisurely at home and start nursery at 10 finishing at 4 with a trip to the park and a home cooked supper at a sensible time before bed. No rush, rush, rush, no long days, and if you got held up (by work or trains) the aupair can do bathtime and bedtime. Now that our children are older, we've got before and afterschool care, babysitting on call and a chauffeur service to all the after-school activities. True, aupairs are not nannies and should not be viewed as a cheap alternative. However, they are a superb resource that nicely complements nursery and provide the added benefit of stepping in when needed, which is a god-send if you have no family members close by.

Any suggestions? We have been extremely happy with Asquith Peckham Rye. The nursery is part of a big chain but specialises in babies and toddlers so I would hope would not have too long a waiting list. The building is purpose built, has an outside playground and grassed garden and is lovely all round. Needless to say the staff are lovely. Take a look!
