  1. Here's an interesting article to contrast the current situation in Britain: http://www.forbes.com/sites/eamonnfingleton/2014/02/02/in-worlds-best-run-economy-home-prices-just-keep-falling-because-thats-what-home-prices-are-supposed-to-do/
  2. 20 mph is around 9 meters per second. A reaction time of 0.5 seconds is often quoted as an "average" time for a normal driver. According to google, once you slam the breaks, a typical breaking distance before you reach a standstill is about 6 meters for 20mph. So from the moment that the driver spots the person until having reached a complete stop is 4.5 + 6 =~ 10m, not an inconsiderable distance!
  3. Lewisham council has a pretty good system for reporting stuff like this - they tend to follow up and action things very quickly: http://www.lovelewisham.org/reports
  4. Looks like a pretty big leak! There is a thread with some pictures over at se23.com: http://www.se23.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7246
  5. There is also another nice interactive one based on a map from 1843. "B.R. Davies made detailed maps of London from about 1840 to 1869, and this is one of his earliest. Buildings, parks, roads, bridges, and important sites are identified." http://maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=zDoXIAU5tGiw.k4Op2POUgsdc&hl=en
  6. Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but this may also influence prices going forward in Catford: http://www.london.gov.uk/media/mayor-press-releases/2013/05/mayor-secures-transformation-of-catford-greyhound-stadium
  7. Just knocked on our door on Devonshire Road. Usual schpiel. Luckily we have a brand new alarm system so they saw that and left.
  8. Just wanted to +1 the birthday party with t-shirt printing concept that Lou's got going over at his Captured on the Rye shop. We went there today with 10 kids and had a really great time! The kids loved it and they ended up with some really REALLY nice t-shirts that they had designed all by themselves. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to do something crafty and creative!
  9. My tip: If you have an iPad or other tablet, bring it and download a bunch of ceebeebies shows in the iPlayer app for offline viewing!
  10. After doing quite a bit of googling, we settled for a Thuka High sleeper for our 6 year old (soon to be 7) son. I know you are after a mid sleeper, but it may be worth considering high sleepers to. Our son absolutely loves his and it has literally doubled the size of his narrow, high ceiling room! Here's where we ordered ours: http://www.thekidswindow.co.uk/html/ReadRange.asp?product=7704&range=714&category=900
