Re: Balham Halifax to close

RSC - I think albeit well-intentioned you are fighting a losing battle. It’s like elderly people refusing to join the Internet age. My husband stopped using cash about 7 years ago. I stopped two or three years ago. We don’t even get foreign currency when we go abroad. Cash is dying a death whether ...

Re: Plumber needed

Luke on +44 7599 644336 He fixed a long standing issue for us years ago and we’ve used him ever since, smart and curious as to how to actually solve the issue as opposed to jumping right in. He was the fourth plumber we’d tried and we’d almost given up. Plumber Rec:  By any chance, do you have Luke...

Re: Attempted abduction of school girl

Saw that someone had eluded to this in a post asking about self defence class recommendations for teens and as I received details in my school WhatsApp groups thought I'd share. This took place near Streatham Common at the end of last week: A young schoolgirl was followed home from Strathbrook Road...

Re: Has anyone succeeded in lobbying Wandsworth council to slow down traffic on their road?

Message:        FontSize                  Source Hi everyone, My wife and I moved into a lovely flat on Sisters Avenue near Lavender Hill this January. However, we were unpleasantly surprised to find that not only is the road used as a rat run during rush hour, but it’s also treated as a drag racin...

Re: Parking in Balham is being restricted more and more

Well said, Chorister. Muddy Boots:  You're just 'popping in' to get something quickly or collect a parcel - yet you need a car to do that!?!  Unbelievable.  Unless you're disabled, the word lazy springs to mind. Living locally, most of us CAN walk to the shops & do our shopping.  In the real wor...

Re: Want to sell unwanted clothes but don’t have the time?

Hello, Lisa:  I'm also interested.   Is it just clothes (& shoes presumably) ?  Do DM me & let me know please how it all works.  Many thanks.  Dimelda.

Re: Is it irresponsible to leave our three children under 16 home alone overnight?

The Quays:  Why on earth are you asking strangers on this website to answer your question - people who'll largely be unqualified to answer it?  Why haven't you consulted the law for the answer?   Look up the appropriate Govt. website or the NSPCC.  Goodness me.

Re: Laundry facilities. Cellar or first floor?

Starr:  You have a point but, if houses in this country were designed properly, space should always be allocated for a separate laundry room - on whatever floor.   But no - most seem to prefer 'fashionable' massive kitchens, with heaps of wasted space .... leaving no room for a separate laundry, wh...

Re: Laundry facilities. Cellar or first floor?

First floor.  It's a no-brainer.  After all, most items washed in a washing machine are clothes, bed linen & bath linen ...  all of which live on the upper floors.  Why would you have it anywhere else?  One place a washing machine should never be is in the kitchen!  A kitchen is for washing dirt...

Re: What car should I buy?

Why buy a car at all?  You & the children walk to school, you live in London with a myriad of public transport, & at the weekends you can use the train.   For the odd occasion when you might genuinely need a car, you could hire one, or take an Uber.  Unless you're disabled, you don't need to...

Re: Au pair walking around virtually naked

This post was originally published - and resolved - in Oct. 2013, repeat 2013!   Why on earth has Admin revived it?  It's ridiculous.
