Re: Openings and closures in Battersea - eateries, shops and a beauty salon

Sad to hear that White Stuff on Northcote Road is having to close due to their landlord not being willing to reduce rent during the current challenging trading conditions. Apparently White Stuff has been on Northcote Road for 30 years and this is where White Stuff had its first proper shop, so the e...

Re: Educational Psychologist recommendations please

Hi Mallinsonmum You could try Carmel Durkin of Children's Therapies, based in Putney but she can do home/school visits. I should declare an interest in that I do work for CT (office not therapy) but can confirm that we have had unsolicited very positive feedback about her from clients - see https://...

Re: Wandsworth Resident parking permits - no renewal reminder and a parking ticket?

Well done jingo_x! So glad you were successful, would like to think that it will lead to WBC taking a different approach in these situations and also sorting out the problems with the new IT system which does not seem fit for purpose.

Re: Wandsworth Resident parking permits - no renewal reminder and a parking ticket?

Hate parking tickets given for this reason. I received a ticket in similar circumstances but many years ago so can’t blame the new system for failure to issue a reminder. I contested my ticket at the time but WBC failed to budge as they have it written in the small print that they can’t guarantee a ...

Re: Megan’s Balham - Worst, arrogant local restaurant experience

I tried to go there for brunch and had the same bad experience in that there were empty tables in the restaurant but a long queue waiting to be seated and staff unwilling to make eye contact or greet customers. We ended up going to Milk which was surprisingly empty (agree with Goldhawk that they are...

Re: Paying for childcare cash in hand - what's the view?

The nanny should refuse to work for an employer who isn’t prepared to pay her correctly; it sets a bad precedent and the employer may start to behave unfairly or meanly in other ways too. I am not sure you can say the lack of childcare tax deductibility is sexist. The family unit not just the mother...

Re: Harrasment at Alfriston Road Post Office/Corner Shop

Well they are an improvement on the couple who used to run it! The woman then was seriously grumpy. I have to say I have not had a problem with the people working there now and have not witnessed the behaviour you mention, which does sound unpleasant. Sad to hear that as we need our local post offic...

Re: Have you been burgled & insurance co won't pay?

Re the alarm, some insurers do specify the use of the alarm when you leave the house unoccupied or when you go to bed at night. So if you got a discount on your premium for having an alarm then you need to check the endorsements regarding it. I stopped applying for a discount for having an alarm as ...

Re: A Question re Teens

Hi
I have three boys aged 10, 13 and 16 and would love for them to do something like yoga - and I'm not aware of any suitable classes in the area. Not sure whether I would be able to persuade them to attend but would like to try! Good luck - do post if you set something up.
