Use the IPad much more than than my Macbook.

Frequent bbqs are a nuisance. Hello all you Australians out there...
  4. David Cameron had one in front of his house in W10 (Kensington and Chelsea) for their sole use, because of their late son, Ivan. But it was marked with a number and the vehicle parking there had to have the corresponding number on it. I don't know if other boroughs do the same.
  5. I did it once in one of those metal bin things. Like others said, don't do it when it is windy. Think I did it over a couple of days. No one complained.
  6. Anyone have any opinions on Walthamstow or Highams Park? The property prices there seems so much more affordable.
  7. I have heard this discussed on BBC London, on the Vanessa Feltz Breakfast programme.
  8. Have you asked any neighbours?
  9. That is what the AA is for, but you need Homestart if you want them to come to your home.
  10. Do you take portable televisions? I have a couple, they still work.

  12. Renata, any idea how much it costs Southwark to clear up fly tipping?
  13. Elinor Lipman's books. The first one I read was The Inn at Lake Devine. She has published many books.... The Way Men Act is another good one. Also, A Thousand Acres, Jane Smiley. Enjoyed the movie too.

  15. Lots of free parking round here, so why park on a yellow line?
  16. What happens to the remains in the graves?
  17. Penge is ripe for some more restaurants.
  18. Meatwagon started out in a Kennington pub car park, the Ship.
  19. Have you read any Anne Tyler? Ladder of Years, and the Accidental Tourist I particularly liked. Also Carol Shields, The Stone Diaries and Happenstance amongst others. Lorrie Moore, writes short stories but some novels, inc. Who will run the frog hospital? Emily Prager - A Visit from the Footbinder, is a collection of short stories, but check out her novels. Lots available for 1 pence on Amazon. Bobbie Ann Mason - In Country Josephine Humphreys - The Fireman's Fair, Rich in Love, Dreams of Sleep.

The ones from Violet Cakes in East London are ?3 each, and from Bread Ahead at Borough Market ?2.50. Haven't tried the last two yet. Saw some teeny tiny ones at Bambuni that were ?1 each.
