Re: Au Pair wanted immediately for little boy 5 months

An au pair may not be suitable for such a young child, especially not as a sole charge. You may need more experienced help.

Re: Removal Company to Avoid (like the plague) BRISK REMOVALS

Sounds awful but frankly I was amazed at the cheapness of the move . Whilst I don’t know how big your house was , less than £3000 to move sounds outrageously cheap. I moved from a big 3000 ft house last year and paid over £8000. I think you get what you pay for . Sorry. This is entirely untrue. We ...

Re: What DO we want on Northcote Road???

Would be a shame to see Warrens close, but it never seemed busy. Also closing is Bill’s, with an odd note in the window saying they received an offer that was “too good to refuse”, basically. Already closed is the Scottish Malt Whiskey Society, didn’t last long. Looks like restaurants in particular ...

Re: Spam on Nappy Valley

To me it looks like the site is being abused by SEO (search engine optimization) companies, as they invariably post links to external sites in order to boost their ranking with search engines. One way to eliminate this problem would be to restrict the ability to post links -- for example, you could ...

Spam on Nappy Valley

There seems to be a lot of spam here recently — posts with dodgy links etc.

Any plans to tackle this, as it makes the site a lot less useful than it used to be.

Thanks.

Not on Northcote Road, but Blacks on St John's Road is closing down. I always found it useful, sorry to see it go.

Re: Elderly father to move in?

Have you considered sheltered housing? Speak to Wandsworth Council, they have several locations: http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/info/20036 ... ed_housing

It will allow him to live nearby, but as independently as he can be.

Re: Work about to start on £165k revamp for Wandsworth Common playground 

I was hoping that for £165,000 they would also be able to renew the grassy bits, which are in desperate need of some attention.

Re: **BEWARE WHILST WAITING IN A CAR AT CLAPHAM JUNCTION STATION**

There is a MASSIVE sign before you enter the car park saying, among other things, “there is no free parking”. Seems clear to me.

(You say that you got a ticket having spent “more than 10 minutes” in the area. This is not what the pick up and drop off area is intended for.)

Re: Unauthorised Absence from School

Wandsworth has a minimum attendance target of 95%, and the Education Welfare Officer reviews attendance records regularly and will probably follow up if attendance falls short of this target. Personally I think as long as the child has perfect attendance otherwise and is not struggling academically ...

Re: Wanted - Reliable Honest MOT Testing Garage That Doesn't Fool You Into Unnecessary Work - Ideas Please!

Apollo Service Centre on Armoury Way have been very good, even fixing minor things for free!

Their charges for repairs (that are actually required) are also reasonable, or they happily let you take your car elsewhere to be fixed and will retest without a fuss.
