Just been for the first time and definitely recommend. Great value, lovely atmosphere & far preferred their pizzas to some others on the lane. Give it a go!

Thanks all, my son is an F1 fan who bought himself a simulator steering wheel & pedal set with birthday, Christmas & odd job money ages ago so the practicalities of driving a manual will be simple for him. I’m after someone that will drill in the safety aspects of driving. I think F1 is a dreadful sport, but he’s 16 so I give him some slack. Given the above, think most sensible to learn on a manual as widest use once passed.

Hi - does anyone have any recommendations for a driving instructor for our soon to be 17 year old son? I saw glowing reviews for Silvano but think he only does automatic cars now. Thanks appreciate don’t need to drive in London etc, but may as well get the test out of the way now.

Any news on what’s taking the White Stuff site?

Our fox left both a shoe and a poo last night but thoughtfully made it easier to clear up..

Our wren (or a female he persuaded to join him) has been spotted again feathering the nest.. fingers crossed for babies!

That’s good to know!

We were very excited to discover a wren has build an impressive nest in a yucca just outside our window, however since finishing we haven’t seen her for several days. Really hoping a cat hasn’t got her (or him..).

NFU (yes, national farmers union!) were the only insurer I could find who would cover us for subsidence for our house (Victorian conversion).

My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago. We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed. feeling a lot less sad about that now!

Think website is wrong…. Said shut Sat eve but was open when we went.

Ate there Sat early evening for the first time - 2 for one pizza deal - really tasty pizzas, v crispy base. Had the fish platter which was a decent size for 2 & good to share along with a pizza. Great atmosphere, do support, was not busy but very good value with the deal.

Yes, opens 11am now. The one at the station is open until 9pm on Sundays as is smaller.

Hi, has anyone used local restaurants or caterers to provide food for a party? Having one in a few week’s time and considering not doing all cooking myself!

Kingsdale do sports scholarships & I believe are sympathetic to time off for training, however, as above, I really wouldn’t start worrying about secondary for at least another couple of years.
