I do know what you mean. We seem to be able to cope with one at private school, but when there are two (or more - but not for me) of school-going age it's going to be a different story. Already spending a silly amount of time finding places to move to (we are planning on moving out of London at some point anyway) that would give a half decent chance of getting into an exceptional state secondary. I have a theory that if you get the early years right, you can 'make do' a whole lot better later on, but we shall see......


I agree that for a large part of of the population, private school just isn't an option. The people that cheese me off are those who probably could afford it, but get all superior about sending their kids to state schools (yet all the while spoiling them grossly with 'stuff')


Humpf! Rant over.....and sorry for going off topic.

    • Let's wait and see how many affordable family homes and social housing actually get built. 
    • I had thought it was to the actor Gary Cady, but apologies if that is wrong. The 'problem' with it as a restaurant venue is that it is built, as it were, to offer a 'country house' experience, but it is in an area where there is no passing trade, but where, quite close, there is a plethora of good restaurants. It therefore does not have a compelling niche or offer. When it's the only posh game in town, driving out to a country house venue has obvious attractions, but not when you can readily choose many other offers relatively close. It would only work if it could get a ** or *** Michelin rep, but it's never been able to build that. Hence looking for wedding or more dubious gigs. It has offered good 'nights' (such as night-club style magic performances) but it can't keep up sufficient regularity to build a loyal customer base. Ideally it needs, perhaps, an excellent existing up-market restaurant brand to move there, but again its positioning away from good public transport (West Dulwich doesn't have enough trains) doesn't make a compelling offer  in London.
    • So posh chicken then. Shame then that the supply of chicken is going to become harder to acquire and more expensive through the increased prevalence of bird flu 
    • Well yes, never heard those terms or used, so it was a case of googling to find out what they mean. Others may know or be acquainted with those activities on here???
