A great pity our judiciary is a such toothless, outmoded, unreliable, monolithic creature, as rarely does the victim feel justice has been done.

The youngest could not walk until she was eighteen months, but before she was one year old she had crawled down the garden and climbed barefoot a 4ft high interwoven fence panel to see the neighbours new puppy. The eldest was walking at ten months and was chattering before her first birthday, the youngest relied on grunting until she was fifteen months old and then called socks "yocks" and many other weird interpretations of words for months after that. The youngest was sleeping through the night without a nappy at nine months. At two years the eldest had become an accomplished shop lifter, she would get outside the shop and proudly show us what she had 'acquired'. She became accomplished when she showed us what she had stolen after we arrived home and nowhere near the shop to return the stuff. At two years of age the youngest evicted the eldest out of the shared bedroom and insisted she have her own room, as she found her sister tried to prevent her from going to sleep. The eldest did not want to sleep alone. The youngest new where every pen and pencil belonged on her desk, the eldest one's desk looked as if someone had emptied a dustbin over it, it is still the same 20 years on!

My sister had one with a phone number painted on it's back, it had been wandering around their garden for years, and when it was the size of a dinner plate it disappeared around the time of lots of other things that had gone missing in that area of Berkshire. The chief suspects, to use the genteel name, travellers.

It is only a rip off if someone is holding a loaded gun to your head, other than that it's called freedom of choice!

Pinkhalf your neighbours failed to recognise a good offer, so it serves them right for being greedy. Northlondoner I suggest you make yourself a little more lively when it comes to offer time. Can we move it to the property thread now?

The BBC had a number of lessons on radio4 many years ago which I thought was an excellent idea, until I discovered there were about 20 different ways of pronouncing the word 'OW' and they all meant something different. I was convinced from that day forth, I am no linguist.

....vomit down your best jacket when you are just about to go out...... This happened once when I was not going out but was holding her in my arms when she heaved, so I held her away from me but it still went into my unbuttoned collar, all this warm putrid smelling, yoghurtey stuff running inside my shirt, because I held her away from me the rest of it went down the front of my trousers and on to my shoes and socks! I had to have a bath and complete change of clothes, which was nice.

......and really small and pokey too..............

That was a very selfless and caring act pebbles, you are a good soul.

I like his/her cold commercial take on it... wrote littleEDfamily How perspicacious of you littleEDfamily, I'm very impressed! For your information I am an entrepreneur and have run businesses for forty years, many believed I was best at starting businesses rather than running them long term, which I feel takes a different type of personality.

The great tits have been eyeing one of the boxes.

Yes cab but you are female, and everyone knows that because of the judiciaries feeble punishments, for the vast majority of this city's honest and decent population, it becomes a no-go area after dark.

I found literally hundreds of pleas from both women and men, bidding as high as $7.00 per ounce of milk. (from GinaG3 link) The ice cream lady is selling short, she should be getting $70 a go, about ?45 not ?15, the Americans always were higher paid, and better organised.

I see now that they are protected as they pull further across Barry rd, so scratch the previous post as it looks as if the new works will improve it!:-$

I thought the main cause of the problems on the Barry rd/Underhill rd cross-road was restricted visibility for the traffic coming from Underhill rd on to Barry rd. The "STOP" sign I am sure is well intentioned, but does it address the cause? As far as I can tell from the diagram on your link I cannot see any improvement for the Underhill road driver's view. Steve.

Brokemillionair I have PM'd you.

Quite so ontheedge. I didn't realise that it was an offence for people to be on the street goading potential muggers especially after dark.

Pics did take action about a year ago - only resulting in a couple of ASBOs. wrote Marmora Man. I would like to read something like "it resulted in them all getting a flogging, 2 years hard labour, with the proviso of second offence they lose a limb". But as a simple Guardian reading left wing liberal, and with the rest of the world reading the Mail they would no doubt disagree.

There seems to be an increase of muggings announced on here, for what it's worth you have my sympathy cab. It's good to get a description too, we can all keep an eye out for the thuggish creep.

What would you consider to be well paid then Clare? ?15 per ounce?

Louisa will be out counting them and making sure they are not stolen:))

Sorry to hear that jeanne my feelings are that people should be allowed out after dark and be safe. I don't suppose there is a description of the hooded thief or you would have written it up.

Ladies have sold their full heads of hair for many decades, more recently models and actresses sell their bodily looks, why shouldn't lactating ladies sell their natural product? The lactating mums are unlikely to be in employment and are presumably struggling to survive on a single wage with an extra being to provide for. I wonder if this might stimulate a whole new industry, as there was never any money to be made in wet-nursing. Perhaps a competition on how much you can sell a 10 ounce feed for? The price to beat ladies is ?15 for 10 ounces as that's what the ice cream mum nets. ?50 worth of premium bonds to the winner!
