  2. Cheers Cora x
  3. Thanks beccal unfortunately it didn't review the film I needed....
  4. Hi Seems that the parent movie guide has changed....(if it ain't broke don't fix it) but they have and it's impossible to use. What site would you recommend for getting full details of a films content to find out its suitability for children.. Much appreciated
  5. Feeling like their lack of communication might be common,...it's easy to ignore one client when they live abroad. If you have an unsolved claim, please PM me.

  8. Hi Dan I just logged in to message you, could have sworn I sent you a message yesterday but could see no trace of it. I will pass by today and see what needs doing, and will fit it in where I can as Monday afternoon might be tricky. Will see if I can convince my son.... Thanks to everyone who helped, it will really make a difference to all that use it. :)

  10. Also James I'm wondering whether you were successful I. The cleaner greener safer application for the pathway leading to abbots wood and sainsburys from Dylways.
  11. What does this mean for the fields used by the Charter School. That will be sold off and once again State schools will lose outdoor space to private development. Not good, worth objecting on those grounds....surely?
  12. FANTASTIC! Love Peckhamplex. It's so valuable for the community, love it, Sticky carpets and all, though I'm not a stickler against change, and wouldn't balk at a change of carpets.
  13. Would Love to Dan. I have often thought of gathering people do do the same, but time constraints prevent me from tending my own garden as well as the gardening at our school, as much as I'd like. I remember seeing people doing gardening there as part of a community service....I haven't seen anything of the like for years, maybe people get locked up more readily than are put to good use. I hope enough people can get involved, With enough people, the whole thing can be done in a day. I don't know whether james Barber's application for the greener safer grant was successful. I fear all works carried out will be destroyed by the proposed development, but you know what, maybe a revamp now will help the objections against the planning proposal.....in short, i have some rare time to myself to work on Wednesday but I will come over at some point in the day to help out, and once the family are back on Friday, maybe there will be more hands, See you then.
  14. It's fine if it's a true reflection Of the school and doesn't appear too generic. Two of them had identical strap lines...."Excellence for all" ..... The same publicist ? It makes them appear disingenuous......
  15. I'd be interested in the link as I cycle near there regularly, just haven't for the last few days
  16. It's not bizarre to weigh up the pros and cons of mobile phones for your child. Particularly In View of the increased rates of brain tumours and depression amongst teenagers. It's true that kids can feel isolated if All of their friends communicate by texting, but it's also socially isolating to communicate predominantly by these means, and it seems as though it is very hard to manage. You can out things in place to control/restrict it, but kids are skilled at bypassing them, they know more about technology than most adults. Do you think it bizarre, that Bill Gates didn't allow them for his kids? https://nextshark.com/why-steve-jobs-didnt-let-his-kids-use-ipads-and-why-you-shouldnt-either/
  17. Hi As the children take says in year 6 and the last 2 years of their school record are taken into account, why the children need to sit another test by the secondary schools? Do you know what that's all about. Obviously I have some ideS, just wondered what your take is on this. Is it just academy schools that do this or is it something that all schools do, if there are any LA secondary schools left.
  18. Do you mean there is often a pay phone in those places?
  19. Just read the last two posts, yes maybe public phone boxes strategically placed near schools might be a good idea, and thank you Batgirl for your post. Having read the statistics re mental health I think you are on the right tracks. It's the argument my child uses but it proves that a social life without a phone is possible. A follow up post, how many of you have given your children phones, and have then regretted it?
  20. What's interesting is how kids talk to each other via mirrors if they are not on their phones. Has anyone else noticed that some would prefer to stand in front of a mirror than look at each other? I came across this article today.... http://bigthink.com/21st-century-spirituality/smartphones-could-be-leading-to-a-mental-health-crisis?tun_campaign=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#link_time=1505252869

My sentiments exactly! Though I pushed it to when he is 18.. Really really ambitious I know...however the main argument for them, seems to be with regard to social pressure and knowing where your child is....at the moment he tells me where he is going and I tell him when to come back. At a safety awareness course when I mentioned that one way of keeping our kids safer from muggings, inappropriate exposure via the Internet, cyber bullying, radiation exposure etc, could perhaps be to stand together and not give them phones, and she replied that she wants to know where her kids are, and finds the tracking device handy. I just wonder if the cons outweigh the pros, and if we are reluctantly giving them phones because we are bowing down to peer pressure. A bit of a vicious circle. I imagine they read less once they have one and it can affect their studying. Some would say it's a way of building their social life, I can't understand why they can't talk to each other at school and organise their social life..,,what happened to good old social skills...like conversation?
  22. At what age did you give it? What effect did this have, if any on your child's social life, family life, positive /negative What was their reason for asking for one.. What was your reason for giving it to them? Your views would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  23. The forum at its best. Thank you I shall stick it on...
  24. Could have sworn this was on Monday night 8/9pm....can't find it anywhere...can can anybody help?
