Any experience of finding someone 40+ to travel with?
Ruffler replied to Robert Poste's Child's topic in The Lounge
How about looking at companies that specialise in group activity holidays such as Headwater http://www.headwater.com/all/activities/walking-guided.htm. We went cross-country skiing many years ago with a similar company and part of the enjoyment was meeting new people. We were free to go off on our own if we wanted, but we mostly went on guided trips with the rest of the group. -
Several of the men I share an office with..

Baltic on Blackfriars road, close to Southwark tube station, have a good range of cocktails (great food too!) http://www.balticrestaurant.co.uk

Bus drivers to strike over unsafe working practices
Ruffler replied to Townleygreen's topic in The Lounge
The Camberwell Green area was shown on the map as being a collision hotspot. I see people taking absurd risks all the time there, even dragging young children out into traffic. Use the pedestrian crossings FFS! -

The point I was trying to make is that swimming backstroke in a CROWDED pool is inconsiderate as it requires everyone around to get out of your way. Common sense really, though I can see why some of you wouldn't understand that.

People swimming backstroke in crowded pools really get on my wick. Very inconsiderate!

Ed Warehouse (what's happening?)
Ruffler replied to Earl Aelfheah's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Thanks for that maxxi. Just bought a ?2.50 sourdough loaf from the French guy in the Aylesham Centre - amazing value! -
Does anyone know how Southwark decides who it must inform and engage with regard to consultations? I live in North Dulwich in one of the streets neighbouring Elfindale road which is in the process of consultations regarding the introduction of a CPZ. I've received nothing from Southwark even though we will be clearly affected it it goes ahead.

steam mop? what do you use on the floor in your kitchen?
Ruffler replied to Convex's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I bought a Lakeland steam mop with various attachments that I hoped would be good for cleaning grout. I've been happy with it for cleaning floors, but not impressed with its grout cleaning claims. -
Back in ED and the Aircraft Noise is worst than EVER !

Heathrow Airport have announced that current airspace trials will be ending three months early on November 12 due to a large public backlash. http://mediacentre.heathrowairport.com/Press-releases/Heathrow-Shortens-Current-Future-Airspace-Strategy-Trials-9f2.aspx -
camping in dulwich woods - anyone have contact info?
Ruffler replied to ryedalema's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I had no idea there was a campsite in Dulwich Woods! Whereabouts is it? -
Hopefully one rogue review won't make too much different as it will be outnumbered by the positive experiences of happy customers. A bad review can also spectacularly backfire on the OP as in the recent case of "sweetgirl" and Cafe Noodle.

El Pibe - the OP was referring to a particular type of Velux window that when open forms a balcony. We considered these when doing our loft conversion, but in the end went for standard Veluxes.
-
Probably not the time period you're looking for but I loved this as a child in the 70s.

The OP's pic looks like a Hebe in need of a thorough soaking.

The Hayes Street Farm car boot sales in Bromley seem well organised and well attended. I've only been once as a buyer, so I don't know how much it costs to sell there, but I was impressed! http://www.hayesstfarm.co.uk/hayes-street-farm-boot-fairs.html

How about Morrocan slow roast lamb? I would probably use shoulder though you'd probably need 2 or 3 decent sized pieces, rub over Moroccan spices, add onions, garlic, tomatoes and stock, cook on a low temperature for 5-6 hours, add tins of chick peas towards end of cooking, add chopped coriander and serve with cous cous and salads. Relatively little effort but very tasty!
