Re: Learn to Ride/Improver Cycle Sessions

Sounds really useful and valuable, especially if you teach cyclists the difference between red and green traffic lights, what zebra crossings are for and not to 'undertake' ie pass vehicles on the left.

I strongly advise you to get Billy Kikidis (who has been recommeded on here before) to quote for a turnkey job including sourcing and supplying units.  He refurbished a complete flat for us including a kitchen (with Howden units) and we were absolutely delighted.  His phone number is 07538 580397.

Re: Noisey neighbours

It's difficult and I guess many of us have had the same thing - it goes with living in a crowded city.  You don't say how long you think it may go on, nor how you want your relationship with your neighbours to be when it's over.  And what do you want them to do?  If they are there at weekends then i...

Re: Hotel recommendations in Crete

Many years ago now we had superb service at the Amathus Beach Hotel near Limassol.  I have no idea if it is still that good, but worth a look. And if you go to Crete then everyone will tell you to visit Knossos, which is very impressive.  But think too about renting a car and driving over the island...

If that time is earlier than the time that will on the ticket then it is well worth appealing and asking for the enforcement officer to be investigated. If you have ...

Re: Madrid or Barcelona? Any suggestions much appreciated.

@ImNotSureNow - by coincidence about 5 minutes ago I was watching on the news that in the Caribbean right now they are battening down the hatches for the strongest ever hurricane recorded at this time of year, again made much more likely by climate change, because more energy in the atmosphere means...

Re: No actual idea what my husband earns

Depending on your collective overall financial position it might be much more important to be sensible about sharing assets than knowing about income (though I cannot imagine why one partner in a married couple should not be open with the other about their income).  There are really important practi...

Re: Dermatologist for mole removal.

I have had two moles removed in separate operations by Dominic Yue at the Cadogan Clinic in Sloane Street and could not recommend both him and the clinic more highly - they were excellent. Hope that helps.

Re: Madrid or Barcelona? Any suggestions much appreciated.

Since July 2023 Barcelona has lost 60 acres (20%) of its beaches because of climate change induced winter storms, leaving pipelines etc exposed. Might be better to try and go somewhere that doesn’t involve flying ……
