I think in Sarf Lahndon flat caps would have been more of a class thing.

I've been to two world music festivals this weekend, one in Victoria Park in Bethnal Green and one in the park next to the Horniman, and at both, they had people going round all afternoon litterpicking. Though it's sad that they had to - why do people think they can just leave their litter for others to pick up?

Apologies for starting a new thread, but I can't find the original one where people were asked their opinions on proposed "art" for the wall near the electricity substation in North Cross Road. Just seen the photos they've put up there of old East Dulwich, I think they're really interesting and appropriate, thanks to whoever has put them up. A zillion times better than those stylised flower things which were originally going to be put up there!

But yeh, must admit, putting on quilt covers is not my favourite thing either .....

I use Orange. Haven't had any problems today. However sadly I don't have an iPhone :))

Push the quilt into it, shoving the two top corners of the quilt towards the two top corners of the cover. Make sure the quilt is not twisted. Hold one top corner in each hand, with the cover and the quilt both held firmly. Shake. Adjust the bottom corners. Close the bottom opening. Simples :) Well, works for me anyway .....

Erm, why do you think women have breasts? ETA: Many moons ago, I was discreetly breastfeeding my daughter in my car, and a bloke walked by, hissed "disgusting" at me, and carried on. What's that all about?

Yeh you're right, duh :-$

Twice, two > different houses near me. xxxxxxx I have also called them out and they sorted the noise. Don't know why you think it's a racket Jimmy TT - it's the noise which is the racket :))

I live in this road and have never heard it, and I don't sleep that soundly. If I did hear it at that time of night, I'd be straight on to Southwark Noise Control :-$

If this wasn't a one-off, is there any reason you didn't report it? It's just likely to continue otherwise. What part of the road was it coming from, the North Cross Road end or the Whateley Road end? Southwark Noise Control's number is 020 7525 5777

Yeh true but sometimes it's a trade-off between saving a bit of money and saving a bit of time :)

I also really love them. At one point in the Winter I had two sleeping side by side in my (very small) garden, it was really sweet watching them from the kitchen window :) They were quite young, and I assume they were siblings.

The people at Simply Switch are very helpful (and I have found other similar companies also helpful in the past :) You can phone them on 0800 011 1395 So far as I'm concerned, provided my monthly direct debits go down I don't care how they are working it out - you can either do a comparison on actual useage or on your monthly charge. Yes it does seem like you have to keep changing your supplier - I wasn't that bothered when I was earning more, but now I'm not I am :))

That's a good point (though I think web saver 9 is cheaper?) but so far as I know British Gas doesn't have a fixed tariff, and prices are predicted to be rising - may be wrong though :)

Maybe the other fireworks at the celebration were quiet ones :)
