My mate, who was a new mother at the time, took sprog out for the first time and was reduced to tears at this junction. I did get some feedback years ago that the reason it's not been made pedestrian friendly is that it 'would slow down the traffic'!

Scary, I know the feeling.

Oh my heart sinks at this news, he is amazing. Provided me with sessions of acupuncture (which he has a specialist interest in) for as long as I needed it. A very patient man, will be sorely missed. And yes, the rest of the practice does leave something to be desired-I am waiting for my ENT referral since early Oct ;-((

I would deffo be up for looking into this scheme, sounds interesting. Remember those shops you could weigh your own amount out and buy just what was needed, I quite liked those?!

That's very kind of you to go to those lengths, hope the poor owner is able to say goodbye properly.

Harriet Harman came to Dulwich Library years ago and joined her kids up!

I walked downstairs with a loo roll in my hand the other day...no idea why...

Annette, part of the 'courtship' ritual is grabbing a girl, sometimes hard/violently, and demanding a kiss or essentially choosing her as a mate-she gets no say. The women/girls are highly restricted in terms of independent movement/work etc. They 'liked' them as a dog likes a bone, something to possess and devour, very disturbing. I call that misogyny

No but I would like to eliminate misogyny!

Watched this in horror... They ended with a trailer for next week's programme-something along the lines of being an endangered culture, from what we'd seen, with the violent courtship practices and very traditional set up of gender based roles, all I could think was 'bring it on'!

I reported a similar theing to our noise team 0207 525 5777 and they were very helpful, it took 2 seperate visits but they served an abatement order on the spot. It never happened again!

Manda, that reminds me of something I witnessed in Forest Hill, around 8.30am. A man had obviously challenged some youths about something and he was holding onto one of them for dear life. Other 3 were circling like sharks and no-one was helping. I got out my phone and called 999, but suddenly one youth grabbed a bottle and headed for the man. As one unit, about 3 men who I thought had not been taking any notice all moved forward and got the bottle, the police then arrived, but it restored my faith somewhat in passers by!

We heard some suspicious noises out back but it's someone else's garden so couldn't really check. If it was in reponse to a serious crime I would let police know-they may have dumped a weapon?

You could donate it instead? NCT locally or Toy Library if there is one?

I've got one of the 'recalled' versions, didn't return it cos really wanted to start it right away! That said, it's still on my shelf...looking forward...

Years ago, a friend of mine handed in a wallet with US dollars etc and left her name, thinking nothing of it. Few weeks later she received a call from said gentleman, offering her a slap up tea at the Dorchester as a thank you. She declined in the end, but the part I remember is it was just after Sept 11, and his words were 'you've been a glimmer of light in a dark dark week'. Brought a tear to my eye, still does! Someone in my road found my purse and made the effort to ring my workplace using my ID and I phoned him and took a bottle of wine round as a thank you. It takes so little time to make someone's day!

Ooh, I've never bought from the pie lady but now I want to! What does she have?
