Re: Husband rude to brother in law

Hopefully one or other takes the moral high ground and apologizes, and then they go out for a drink and clear the air.

Re: Bolingbroke Academy has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted

Very good. Does anyone know what the fees are and how they compare to other private schools?

Taxi/People Carrier for Airport lift

Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable taxi firm that has large minivans (VW Transporter/ Mercedes Viao size) that will do airport drop offs. We have 2 people and 2 large bike boxes and from experience it needs more than just a people carrier.

Thanks.

Re: Milk in Balham slated in Daily Mail

The trouble is, I bet they are still struggling to make a profit. There are a few fairly priced places around that are good. Like Al Gusto on Northcote Rd.

Bearded Dragon

Is anyone’s kids pestering them for a pet? We have a full set up for a Bearded Dragon - sadly ours died a few weeks ago. They make a great pet and are fairly low maintenance. We are looking to pass on all the kit (ideally in the next week). Includes the vivarium (4x2x2) plus lights heater, thermosta...

Re: Would you pave over your whole garden?

We went from paved to full Astro. Way better and a lot less maintenance. Maybe not the answer you wanted though!! A lot of BTC gardens are too small to get enough light to maintain a nice garden and paving can be expensive and hard to maintain (gets very discolored /mossy) We actually went from gard...

Re: What are your opinions of Northcote Road?

I definitely think it needs the weekend closure again. It was a wonderful atmosphere and the shops and bars need it . It’s a great road but needs that va va voom back. Even in the rain it was busier and they all catered well.

Totally agree.

We are see £800-£1000 pm through the win...

Re: How long is the wait for the Harbour Club and is it worth it?

I don’t think there is a wait list. You do just pay a debenture and then get it back when you leave - though I think only about 85% and can take a few years. Otherwise like any other gym membership just more expensive. I found best value was if you had kids and could get value from pool and crèche.

Re: Which resorts more likely to have snow?

Somewhere high with easily accessible beginner slopes. Can’t go wrong with Val d’isere. Not the cheapest or everyone’s cup of tea (very British), but as reliable and convenient skiing as you can get. That said you can probably leave it to last minute to book as it’s not a peak week. I understand som...

Re: Is £2M pension fund enough?

Questions like this are really difficult as there lots of variables (how long you will live, interest rates, inflation, and return on your investments). You then have the standard of living you want to maintain. So it’s an almost impossible calculation. All you can do is do a very rough calculation ...
