Re: New in the UK: GP recommendation, please?

The system works like this: You register with a GP, which as someone says, will be one of the ones close by. I'm afraid I don't know any near where you describe. In theory, they are all much of a muchness, but if you end up having a choice, you might want to step in and ask about how they handle app...

Re: Legal advice about a gas meter

The resolution coming at the pace of a turtle trudging through butter (wonderful phrase) is what I am afraid of, although at this point I am more afraid of finding no resolution at all.

Re: Legal advice about a gas meter

The meter is in an outside shallow cupboard just inside his front gate which only contains the gas meters, but the owner is well within their rights, as I understand it, to put a lock on it and not give us access, which is what they have done. The problem is that they don't live their and neither do...

Legal advice about a gas meter

We are having problems accessing our gas meter, which is on somebody else's property. We and the other person are both leasehold owners. We share the same freehold owner, and it was they who located the meter. The other flat owner isn't giving us access. We cannot read the meter, the gas company can...

Re: How to do Christmas like a Londoner

I quite like doing the New Year's Day parade (perhaps a bit off the time scale, but...). For obvious reasons, it is not massively well attended, so you can always get a good view.

Re: High View School-anyone going this year? Thoughts? Optio

You are right - this is probably the main disadvantage. I know of one parent who very reluctantly moved her child to another school because of it, which she is still a bit sad about. People just seem to use childminders or nannies after school if they haven't got a parent at home at that time. I'm n...

Re: High View School-anyone going this year? Thoughts? Optio

My kids go to St Faith's. We are happy with it. Here are some observations about it: It's a small school. The infants/ primary and even the reception/ nursery classes are quite integrated. The outside space is very nice, not just asphalt, and quite extensive, by London standards. It's a proper compr...

Re: High View School-anyone going this year? Thoughts? Optio

You might be in with a shout of St Faith's school on Alma Road, if you don't have anything against faith schools. Not sure what the catchment area is currently. My kids are there if you want to ask.

Re: do you children have enough to eat at school?

I think it is the situation that they don't get snacks really - at our state school they get a bit of fruit mid morning, and then only get to eat at lunch. Now the lunch they get is ok, but there is only so much they can stuff into themselves in the time they have to do it in, and that assumes they ...

Re: Window boxes

Homebase currently do window box flats. I mean those polystyrene boxes that house six or so plants that you take out and plant yourself. Usually they are all the same but they have started doing mixtures in different colours for window boxes. I'm giving them a whirl this year. I just added a centrep...
