Re: 25th Wedding Anniversary gift suggestion

For recent big birthdays and anniversaries we have clubbed together with others and bought restaurant or theatre/music vouchers.  Not quite the same as an everlasting tangible gift but seems to be appreciated.  Also membership to something like RHS or galleries/museums, depending on their interests,...

Re: Contesting parent's will

This sounds a very difficult situation for you. I have also directed people to Gregsons due to mentions on this site - though for property issues (buying, selling, leases), all good reports so definitely worth a call, the sooner the better I think. For a family member's estate we used Adams & Re...

Any helpful suggestions please as to where to take my elderly mother for a short city break in the Autumn?  Easy train ride out of Kings Cross or St Pancras, as she lives in Hertfordshire and I can get her into there on her train line to meet up. My mum is 81 this summer, we missed out on doing any ...

Re: Can anyone recommend an honest and skilled orthodontist in London?

Hi, It's not clear from your post if you are doing this for yourself or for children.   My general thoughts from experience with (now) older teenagers who have been through the whole process - be clear about exactly what the overall quote covers - not just the treatment and routine check ups but 1) ...

Re: Balham town centre - a more pedestrian future?

I agree with the 3 posters above, the closure of Bedford Hill earlier in the summer had a huge radius of knock on chaotic effects to traffic congestion, pollution, bus diversions, and to stopping people getting to Balham.   What are the Lib Dems' proposals to factor in and address these issues, and ...

Re: Fire Engine on Emergency Jammed in LTN Road Block - Lives at Risk!

I think I saw on Twitter or the local OneWandsworth facebook group that some of these planters will be replaced by lockable barriers, part of some "teething problems" Wandsworth Council call it. Teething problems!  It's clear that the Council had not thought about this at all with their LT...
