Re: Red Setter, has anyone been?

We went for lunch on Wednesday and it was an older crowd and some families which suited us as we are old now too! Walked past it at weekend and looked busy, younger crowd. The food was good, the pricing is ok for the area and the cocktails are reasonably priced (for London) and in grown up proper gl...

Re: Mastif in Ole & Steen off lead

Picking up on this recent dog nuisance thread.. I have noticed an increase of dogs in cafes. Personally I love dogs and wish I could have one, but I do understand why people don’t like them in shops and cafes etc. I don’t mind as long as they are well groomed and well behaved but general levels of c...

Re: RNLI LITTLE BOAT ILLGAL IMMIGRANTS

Ronangel, thanks for posting this, it’s interesting. Can’t work out why they received grants for international work, but I don’t know, maybe that’s part of their remit? Presumably they would be restricted funds anyway. Regardless, if the RNLI don’t engage with this work, what other possible avenues ...

Re: RNLI LITTLE BOAT ILLGAL IMMIGRANTS

Here is a link to their charter and bye laws: https://rnli.org/about-us/how-the-rnli-is-run/royal-charter-and-bye-laws Can’t see anything explicit but I did only skim read. I don’t know the details of the story but it’s likely they are having to apply for funds in much the same way as most charities...

Re: Been asked to have my nephew live with us whilst he goes to art school, help!

We did this for 5 years on and off with various sets of young people in the family, because being in london there was simply more opportunities here for internships, finding work and so on.  Personally, my attitude is if you have one or two already then a few more doesn't really make a huge amount o...

Re: Utility Bills

How many of you live there and if kids, how old, as that makes a big difference. Our combined bill for a 4 bed was £550 for December, which is £200 higher than last year. That’s probably partly price rises and partly to do with having had a houseful of people for much of December, so more showers, k...

Re: Ole & Steen great addition to Northcote Road

We went to try it out but didn’t even get as far as sitting down.  Shame as looks nice. Probably fine if you are sat by yourself but no good if you want to have a conversation.   I find this with a lot of places though so I assumed it was just my dislike of constant music in places nowadays and the ...

Re: Colette closing on Northcote Road

Possibly worth pointing out that while there are a lot of opticians opening up on Northcote Road, one of them , the one opening on the old Windfall site (back in the day it was an off licence) is actually just moving up from the junction by the lights.  Called Karen Lockyear and has been there for a...

Re: Fundraiser for Lady Allen Special Needs Playground

Done. Lady Allen holds a special place in my heart as it’s the only place I could relax with my son when he was a toddler - we used to attend the mixed access sessions. Made a change from standing at the fence watching trains go up and down! It was lovely to be able to talk to other parents of kids ...

Re: camping advice - worth getting mini fridge?

Noise is a factor, unless it’s kept in your car. We have an electric cool box but have to switch it off at night. We only really use it for wine, beer, butter and bacon. Make sure whatever you get, it can take a bottle of wine standing up - priorities! 😁 For places to buy, have a look online at Tows...

Re: Anyone fed up with doing the weekly shop? Need feedback on my new website

Looks interesting. Not sure how it’s going to work but something that could suggest meals based on cutting out waste would be great.  Every woman I speak to (it’s usually women) has found one of the biggest drags over this last year to be meal planning (although I reckon homeschooling has to be up t...

Re: Explain this London at tier 4 with all the hype,why was biggest virus hospital emptied and closed,with more cases?

Thank you.
I’ve literally only reported a couple. Plus, where do you draw the line between dangerous misinformation and necessary freedom on speech?
I was just reading and sighing but have decided to reply when I see this kind of thing as it’s probably better than doing nothing.
