  1. Do your own research, also ask a broker, then go for whichever is the best deal.
  2. School nursery?s have highly trained and qualified staff when compared to private nurseries. They are more transparent and accountable which does drive up standards. State nursery?s have a much lower turnover of staff. I was in a private nursery recently and over half the staff were temps who had never been there before. Finally in a school nursery they are in it for the kids and profit does not have to come into it. No comparison!
  3. Hi, I?m in and out of a lot of schools and Charter ED is quite exciting. Teaching is excepionally strong, the curriculum is innovative and dynamic. They have put thinking skills at the heart of the curriculum which is great. Their enrichment curriculum is one of the best I have seen. The kids are in small classes, never bigger than 25 and it?s a small site so it currently has the cosy primary school feel. Because there are no bigger kids to make them more timid they still play a lot of primary games at break time. It is quite cute that these big kids playing hide and seek. It will be a challenge when the new y7 arrive as there are so many of them but it?s only for one term and then they will move to the massive new building (which is going to feel very light and luxurious). Sorry we to go on but it is an interesting place.
  4. Sad to see you go James. Thank you for your massive contribution to East Dulwich and hope to see you back in next time.
  5. Just saw it. Was surprised at the level and number of torture scenes. My kids were fine as a bit older but had I known I would not have taken the younger one. I know I?ll sound like an old fogey but I?m sure it would have been an 18 when I was a kid.
  6. I also like the idea of a lido but you do need to protect London?s green space. It?s an ambitious project on a very small space of green land.
  7. Why don?t you pay 6/10 of the hours worked and the other family pay 4/10 of the hours worked and avoid the problem.
  8. I reserved a spot today for 20 min as we had a bricklayer coming and he was going to have to unload a lot of heavy stuff. Thank you everyone for not moving the bins.
  9. It is possible to have a mobile phone that does not have the internet on it. If they need a phone, just get them a cheep phone that is not heavily internet enabled.
  10. Also St David?s! Sorry it?s in se23 It?s top quality white bread with LOADS of almost deep fried, thick, chrispy, streaky bacon. Possible slightly mapled. I can never finish one and take the second half home for the old man. Their hot chocolate is also good but not as good as gales.

  12. We were 65th on kingsdale list on offer day last year and got offered a place on the last day of the summer hols.
  13. Thanks, sounds like Thames water are on it, fingers crossed!
  14. Hi Anyone else having problems with weter pressure near the Rye?
  15. Hi Michael Palaeologus James Barber has earned his good local reputation. Its good that we have people that are actually trying to nurture the community. Respectfully disagree of-course but calling people hysterical has never moved a discussion on in a constructive way. Its a bit 'troll'ie TBH.

  16. They need a phone from secondary school for contact/ safety BUT they need a phone not the whole world of everything at their fingertips. Get them a phone that is not internet enabled. Job done!
  17. The pub must be nuts. 47 bed spaces across 5 bedrooms. Does not sound like a classy joint and the pub will end up having to deal with a lot of problems.
  18. when 'meter readers', are not genuine i think its more about scoping your property out for future burglary more than that they will rob people on the spot. We had 3 meter readers in 2 weeks once and it felt really dodgy. Now i just go read the meter, write it down and tell them what it is while they stay at the front door.
  19. Sad to hear about the passing away of a very much loved Dr.
  20. Top line hands down 'I'm the best one!'. Obviously less classy then those form the first film but its a quote i use as often as possible.
  21. Same here 7-8k. For 40k you would get the loft extension thrown in.
  22. I'm really glad the Weinstein thing broke, it will do a lot of good in the long term and there is plenty of strong emerging evidence of illegal behaviour. But removing someone from a film when there is absolutely no evidence is just not part of a modern democratic system of justice. Career's and reputations totally ruined on no evidence of anything illegal and often years ago when there was a very different culture! Is that ok? On that basis I think almost anyone could be taken down if they spoke out against the wrong people. Also not condoning anything Spacey did or did not do!
  23. Not saying I totally think it is as these cultures totally do exist and need shifting. But given that it seems realistic that there is an attack on democracy happening at the mo I was wondering if anyone thinks there are similarities. Its a heck of a way to take a politician or outspoken celeb down!
