Re: EXCELLENT CLEANING SERVICE- fully insured

We've been using Kasia and her crew for a few months now, and have been extremely happy with the results. We really like the thoroughness with which our regular cleaner Iza cleans the house, and have found that Kasia is always great at finding replacement cleaners at short notice in case of illness ...

Re: Lessar Avenue acid throwing situation

Given the suspect is at large and described as dangerous, I'm surprised I can't find a description of the attacker anywhere so the public can call it in. Has anybody seen this info?

Re: Remote job

The company I work for, Cisco, is very flexible around working hours and working from home. For example, I take time off most days to drop my child to school and pick her back up, and make up the hours at night or the weekend.

Does anybody know what this insect is?

My garden is covered with thousands of these slow moving, crawling insects with mottled backs and six legs. Does anybody know what this is? I can’t seem to upload pics here, so I’ve just put pics up here in the links below https://ibb.co/ZV8yB3d https://ibb.co/LrRGDKr P.S.: my friend’s broadcast thi...

Re: Portugal recommendations

We spent the last two summers in Portugal (drove there with a 6 year old as we didn't want to get on a plane coz of COVID), and cannot recommend it enough. However, I would not  recommend Albufeira, unless of course you like a resort-y vibe with fish and chips shops and English breakfasts everywhere...

Secondary schools in the Common area

I’m sorry if this question has been asked before, but I couldn’t find anything germane on secondary schools, so I thought I would ask anyway. Also, apologies if some of my questions sound a bit dumb; both my partner and I went to school abroad, and don’t really understand the English secondary schoo...

Surge testing in Lambeth

On the day they decided to open everything up and let people spread COVID in pubs and restaurants, the government have just decided to tell us that there’s a significant cluster of the SA variant in Lambeth and Wandsworth, and are asking people to go get tested as they start surge testing in the are...

Re: Aircon installation

Thanks so much, that’s handy. I think gravity ought to work quite well for me as the air con’s for the loft and I have a flat roof on the first floor where I think I’d want to put the compressor.

Re: Worrying incidents in the months before Sarah Everard's disappearance. Are they connected?

I found it particularly disturbing that one of the posters on a different thread claimed they'd called the police on a black man "matching the description" in Streatham (which, given the vagueness of the description, could be any one of thousands of people in Lambeth).  I think it's possib...

Re: Any personal cleaner recommendations (Tooting)?

We live by the Common now after having moved over from SE London last year. For the last decade, I’ve used this agency called Domestic Shine and have never been less than happy with the cleaners they’ve sent us. Joanna, the lovely Polish lady who runs this, is a genuinely sweet person. Some of her c...

Aircon installation

I’m looking to get an air con unit installed in my loft conversion. I was wondering if anybody had recommendations for a good installer they’d used in the past.

Thanks!

Re: If my baby is born in Kingston Hospital what will be the place of birth?' London' or 'Kingston Upon Thames'?

Look, it could be a lot worse than Lambeth. ;-) I was born in a town in India with a very long name; British passports are not designed to have more than a certain number of characters in the place of birth field so not only do I have a difficult-to-pronounce birthplace on my passport, the name is t...

Re: Does anyone know of cricket lessons in Clapham or its surrounds

Thanks, guys! I’d tried Balance coaching but couldn’t get through. I’ll try reaching out to Spencer cricket and Ballance. Out of curiosity, is this the same Zim-Brit cricketer Gary Ballance who played for England?

Does anyone know of cricket lessons in Clapham or its surrounds

My 6 1/2 year old daughter is quite keen on cricket, and as I lack the patience, inclination, or ability to teach her any more than the little I have so far, I was looking for cricket lessons in the area, but have not had much luck on google. I was wondering if anybody might be able to suggest any c...
