Re: Chez Bruce - non-family friendly

In response to the OP, Anthonyd923: It is completely unacceptable, no ... disgraceful, for you to take to a public forum to put the boot in in this way! Having dined both there and at their sister restaurant over in Kew, I sincerely doubt that anyone at Chez Bruce "hung up" on your partner...

Re: best non aggressive way to confront a shouty neighbour

I also agree with evainlondon. Yelling at a child constantly, frequent negative criticism or humiliation are all classified as emotional abuse. We had this problem a couple of years ago when a family rented the house next door to us. They had two very young children and the the parents’ yelling actu...

The tenant moved in, then  within a matter of days he illegally sublet rooms to two of his friends. Loud rap music was ramped up for hours every e...

Re: can someone please clarify, are cleaners allowed in lockdown

As Indy235 above says, if they are self employed, cleaners can claim from the Government support scheme. It's super easy to do and the amount they get (and should have been able to claim since May 2020) will be a calculation based on their income over the previous three years. If they have not decla...

Road Safety note for parents and carers

I rather doubt that the middle-aged man who has just followed me down the road to my house to berate me will read this, but for anyone else who thinks they have right of way when stepping into the path of a moving vehicle, this may educate you: The small main road at the end of my residential road i...

Re: Moths and wool carpets

Hi LMV.  We have had moths for a few years now.  I have a good quality wool carpet throughout my house (fitted from an open plan sitting room, up the stairs, along landing).  We have noticed that their numbers have been increasing a lot year on year and we are continuing the battle.  Last year we ma...

Wimbledon Alert - Suspicious door to door fish sellers are at it again

Just to let all my local area know - those dodgy fish sellers are at it again.  I just had a guy in a white coat wandering down my road (off Dundonald Road) knocking on doors asking if we wanted to buy any fish.  I turned him down but then watched him saunter down the road to a couple more houses be...

One off steam clean for shower

Has anyone used a private company to do a deep steam clean in a bathroom shower cubicle?  No mould or discolouring of grout, but jus where the sliding doors overlap the runners at the bottom, it is very hard for us to get all the gunk build-up washed off.  Shampoo, soap and (ironically) shower shine...

Re: Car brokers

Thank you tooposhtopush. I feel a bit out of the loop as it's been a loooong time since I bought a new car, so that was all very helpful.
