Re: Car lands on roof on Nightingale Lane, road closed

Let's say the road layout is "strange" at best and as both a cyclist and car driver I agree with what Julian says...certainly worst as a cyclist. Then I recall reading this plan had gone to consultation and approved ... Take a read of this: http://www.tnna.org.uk/press.shtml I love this pa...

Re: Reception Application question...

I wouldn't classify Honeywell a "smaller school" - it has a three class intake each year! I'd recommend visiting as many schools of your local schools as possible as there are lots of excellent schools in the area. List the schools in the order you would like your child(ren) to attend. Goo...

Re: lake district

We've recently come back from a week in the Lake District and stayed in a cottage in Bowness-on-Windermere. It was 5 mins walk from the 'centre' albeit up a very steep hill and found it convenient both to eat out if we chose to and for getting to various locations. Our kids are also similar ages to ...

Re: Belleville/Honeywell first offer distance?

My thoughts for what it's worth. The Honeywell/Belleville 'catchment' comes up year after year and will continue do so if the current rules remain unaltered. So much seems to be focussed on these two schools that often you'd think others didn't exist. We all know the situation is there are not enoug...

Re: Premier League Tickets

Chelsea tickets are extremely difficult to get hold of for non-ticket holders. Ticket holders can and do sell their tickets for games they can't go to - the only official place is to go to the viagogo website. Regards Fulham, not difficult to get hold of tickets (for non-n season ticket holders) unl...

Re: Private primary schools

BeaandBels The reason you get varying replies is that schooling around this area is a very emotive subject compounded by the lack of state schools which I am assuming you are unaware of. Of course you and others are entitled to use the "state til 8" option but you have to understand the fa...

Re: Should you choose 6 schools?

Messymoo The simple answer to that question is yes if you don't have a plan b (e.g private). The important thing is to go and visit as many of the schools as possible (hopefully you did this) and the place them in the order you'd like your child to go to. Just a reminder that you can select schools ...

Re: Speeding vehicles between the commons

tiggerg When I read your reply I wondered whether it was a wind up. You can't paint every cyclist with the same brush. I'm both a driver and cyclist so try and see things from both perspectives. I think if your point is to place a policeman at a particular junction to catch cyclists flouting the hig...

Re: Chelsea tickets

Chelsea have home games over Christmas against Swansea and Liverpool (both sold out) Tryinig to get a ticket for a Chelsea home game is nigh on impossible (unless of course you know a season ticket holder or a member) for league games; it's generally a little easier for the cup though. Unless you kn...

Re: Parent & child parking at supermarkets

The 'Parent and Child' parking spaces should be pretty much self-explanatory as to who can park there! From recollection at Sainsbury's the age of a child may go up to 12 or 14 so it's not just toddlers and little ones (apologies if I'm mistaken just recall reading the signs) As a parent I wouldn't ...
