Re: How do you keep your children grounded?

Firstly being aware is so important. From what you say it sounds like you didn’t have this upbringing which is a huge positive in navigating privilege. My 3 adult children had a similar upbringing to your children. I did not which made me very aware. I always explained to them how lucky they were an...

Re: Anyone else noticed Waitrose becoming a not very nice place to shop?

The only thing Waitrose Balham had going for it, was it always pretty empty in the shop. The staff are generally unfriendly and miserable. I agree the car park is unpleasant. If you want a good supermarket experience go to Tesco Clapham South. Easy parking. Empty shop. Great prices and fabulous frie...

Re: Best roads for trick or treating?

I live on the Heaver estate and Halloween has been completely ruined for locals as it seems like bus loads of people arrive and the road becomes so busy you can’t even knock on a door. Lots of us have stopped joining in. 20 years ago we made a big thing of it but it then just became horrendous. You ...
