I noticed that too ....

Not the usual cat fight type thread we normally use this section for, but that rarest of gems: an entertaining written, insightful, very detailed post. It's about the cynicism of recycling in our fair borough. (Warning: may be tl;dr for some.)

I took it as a joke - isn't it?

There are dozens of companies that do Bespoke Parties for small children.. 5th Birthdays..

..and many people use this service..


List of children?s show ideas


Children?s entertainers

Magic shows

Puppet show

Mini disco (including limbo dancing, conga, dancing competitions)

Rocket balloons

Balloon modelling

Bubble machines and snow machine

Clowns


Cannot see a problem or have I missed something..

I guess I can see why people with the money to do so would want to hire someone to arrange everything for them so they didn'[t have to make up 30 party bags, hire the bouncy castle, sort out invites and so on (can you tell my daughter's 5th is coming up?). If that's all it really is, then fair enough, it's like having a personal shopper (another thing I'll never have).


But just the use of the word bespoke makes it sound so ludicrous before you've even started.

Balloon modelling? Get real Foxy. We're talking My Little Pony..for real!

It's like stag do's. Gone are the days when you went to the Nag's Head with your mates, got leathered and ended up tied to the nearest lamp post naked. Now we have long weekends shooting wild boar in the Black Forest*

One-Upmanship is everywhere I tell ya...

    • Back to the thread... The Gowlett's garden and tables out the front all close earlier than the pub and the landlord is lovely and very considerate.  It is does the best pizzas ever and is very family (and dog) friendly.  As for safety, my daughter worked there aged 18 and has had no issues walking back home after her shifts.
    • Maybe they have changed the system, or maybe I've just forgotten how it works. Mine was installed as a one off after I requested it (having worked out that it would save money). Yes, it would seem odd for Thames Water to install a meter which wasn't requested,  but then not to communicate anything at all to the house occupants, especially if neighbours in the same road said they didn't have a meter! I'm wondering what TW said to EDmummy101 when she contacted them?
    • "Vegetarians won't miss out as there will also be a radish & egg mayo milk bun on offer too." It's a meat shop so I suppose don't expect too much.
    • Anyone got one to sell?
