AVOID AVOID AVOID the A303: you'll lose the will to live as you trundle between dual and single carriageway, getting stuck behind 98 year olds driving at 30mph, tractors, lorries and the legendary tailback along Stonehenge. You won't see any scenery because you'll eyes will be puffed raw from weeping in frustration. Completely recommend M4 to Bristol, then M5 to Exeter. If you are going South (i.e. Liskeard / Looe) don't go A30, but A38 through Plymouth and over the bridge into Cornwall. Edited to add: Vauxhall, Earls Court, Hammersmith, Chiswick, M4 way out of London. Enjoy.

Heartbreakingly vile.

I second Charles Worthington in Percy Street. Some of London's best colourists work there - and they are expert at getting it right: complimenting skin tones etc. And it's an all round top customer experience if you want something special. Try Des or Matthew for sure.

Maybe I should book her services instead?! Good luck x

Thank you Fuschia and Otta.

Hello there This is a complete off-chance, a call of desperation: this morning my 3 year old daughter lost her beloved soft toy dog on a trip up to Sydenham Wells Park. She is absolutely heartbroken (as am I!) - as it's her loved companion. In spite of a big return search he has failed to turn up, and we've had a terrible time trying to get her to go to bed without him. We don't have a duplicate dog - stupidly I know - she was given this dog at birth and the big-attachment came much later. He came originally from Sainsburys DKHill in late 2007, and was only about ?4. This is the big question - does anyone out there have the same Sainsburys soft toy dog sitting around in a toy box or shelf somewhere that they don't now need - and could pass on? Possibly a very tall-order, but we thought it might be worth a try... I've attached two really small pictures - which aren't great, but might help. Many thanks x
