Thank you spymun


Congratulations Mother Superior DM


I have been absent from the forum for easter so I am sorry this has not come sooner.


The first glass of laurent perrier sunday morning was an absolute delight. I am really pleased I made it to the end, now bring on the summer and V&Ts in the garden.


Thank you for your support it was good to know others were with me. Every one who did the lent thing I hope youve enjoyed yourself and had a little indulgence as a celebration.

Darling Mr Batdog,


I don't know, I am rather partial to a Riedel Sommeliers Chablis glass myself.

I sound very brave don't I? James will not let me touch his glasses unless he is drinking too - I am a butter fingers who is trusted only with an Ikea tumbler!

Dear D-Mum,


I agree that a Riedel glass is of a superior quality but nothing can beat a swarovski pure crystal http://shop.swarovski.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en_GB/-/GBP/SW_DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=NtmppKzU0tHqKurP7hxzlMXego863ug287E=?Banner_ID=04000781%2e352&DeepProductSKU=626624

of course you'll have to invest over a ?100 for each glass BUT it is worth, otherwise better than a Riedel a hand made Murano glass from the Italian masters http://www.e-muranoshop.com/cat264.php

Wine tastes even better (tu) and for a lady of your "status" it is such a small but compulsory investment...

Darling Batdog,


You know if it were not for the fact that Gordon Ramsays own sommeliers have insisted to me that wine can only be appreciated fully when consumed from a Riedel, then I would concede.


On the other hand, you know there is so much pretention attached to food, I think I would enjoy Champagne with you if I was drinking it from a plastic beaker...

    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached. 
    • I just wanted to add to this stream. We employed Paul Edgeley  to fix our lights upstairs. They had suddenly all gone out and we could not isolate the issue. He came round the next day and fixed the issue - a problem with the old wiring in the attic - he put in new wiring for us. We were so happy with the job  that we asked him to do some other work in the house. I'm happy to recommend Paul.   His number: 07802627967
