Which new bar to All Bar One empty slot in MArch?

Does anyone know if it is true that there will be a new pub or bar opening in the empty All Bar One space in March? I was out with girlfriends last night and they mentioned it although they didn't know the name? Fingers crossed, it will be good to get some of the empty slots filled in along Northcot...

Northcote Road quiet?

Is it just me or is Northcote Road very quiet? Met a friend for coffee at Gails yesterday and both noticed how quiet the shops were. Could be a lull pre Christmas but I do feel we need to support our local shops if we want to keep Northcote Road as lovely as it is.

Re: Husband becoming a politics bore and its getting embarrassing

I'm afraid that I am with you deckchair. I don't want to listen talk about politics on a night out and especially not with people that I am supposed to be passing the time of day with at a school event.

We have a 3 yr old cockapoo who is good health but for no particular reason, other than we probably didn't get around to it, we don't have pet insurance. Could anyone tell me firstly, is it worth doing? My husband says that he has re...

Re: Parents not paying for end of year present?

Apologies if that wasn't clear. These are people who said that they would like to contribute on our class WA.  I'm not chasing people willy nilly.

Parents not paying for end of year present?

Not sure what, if anything I can do here. I have been a class rep for my prep school year and sorted out the end of year present. Getting cash out of parents has been a nightmare.
