  Thread: The Capitol to close
Post: RE: Capitol to close

Was quite glad by the news that the Capitol was to become a cinema. Completely makes sense to me, and I would have definitely used it. The Capitol never appealed to me. I stepped in a couple of times ...

Well said Curtaintwitching. The councillor's comments amazed me at the extent to which they completely failed to address the comments from this thread. If there are good arguments for the council's in...

Sometimes I just wish I lived in a place where we could all get along and play nicely. For God's sake, could we just be reasonable? Could we host it somewhere else? Could the other candidates really n...

  Thread: ADT security consultants cold calling
Post: RE: Bogus 'security' consultants cold calling?

Two guys, quite well dressed, knocked on our door on Devonshire road this evening. I spoke to them at length to see what they were about. They were quite pushy and wanted to come inside. They claimed ...

  Thread: Children in cafes
Post: RE: Children in cafes

AGB1956 - was it Hills and Parkes over the weekend? I wheeled our monstrosity in and bought some bread and pastries (not the derisory sort) and a coffee. There was a kindly man who helped clear ...

  Thread: Horniman School - no bulge class
Post: RE: Horniman School - no bulge class

I have an interest here too. However, I am not too sure of the chances of a successful appeal. On the one hand, although the school clearly hoped to have a bulge class next year, they were clear (on t...

  Thread: Horniman School - no bulge class
Post: RE: Horniman School - no bulge class

Meanwhile, (we would presume!) the council have plans to meet the expected demand for places via other means which are either more practical and/or more cost-effective. A successful outcome from a ju...

  Thread: Direct train to Charing Cross
Post: Direct train to Charing Cross

Has anyone else heard rumours that discussions are underway to resurrect the direct services through forest hill to Charing Cross? Wondered if they are true, how likely it is and when it may begin.

Post: RE: Fairlawn nursery to close

I've seen this letter and agree this is terrible news and the decision should have been taken following more extensive consultation. What I find most striking is how the nursery was finding it couldn...

  Thread: Fairlawn Nursery - Proposed Change in Hours
Post: RE: Fairlawn Nursery - Proposed Change in Hours

Maybe business model is the wrong term and operating model is more appropriate. The manager told me they had spare places so I use that to mean "undersubscribed". The nursery wouldn't need to ...

  Thread: Fairlawn Nursery - Proposed Change in Hours
Post: RE: Fairlawn Nursery - Proposed Change in Hours

To be honest, what surprises me most is that the proposal was not to offer parents the choice to pay extra for a full day. As I understand it the nursery is undersubscribed. With all of the demand in ...
