YAY......Brilliant. Right, I'm off to the pub for some festive cheer and a spring in my step. The Miracle of Christmas occurred....

I know it's not funny and I shouldn't laugh, and I'm sure you didn't, but :)) :)) :))


ETA: Glad it all had a happy ending, Willard.

Delighted with the outcome, a testament to persistence. And mathematics.


Sue, I imagine it wouldn't have been so funny had it not been a rental car that I was using for work. And the fact that two days later a very identifiable Hovis truck crashed into the same spot. So we let them fix it.

I think most people are nice and will do the right thing, even if it involves taking a bit of time.


It's just that we tend to hear about the ones who aren't nice and don't do the right thing.


And sometimes it's not that people are bad, it's that they are shy or in a hurry or don't want to interfere ...


Anyway, what a heartwarming start to Christmas with a story like the above :)

    • Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you
    • Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway.
