Re: Wandsworth Common litter opposite Bolingbroke Academy

For info, I 'casually' checked this out with my son last night, without letting him know why I was asking (so he didn't jump into feeling defensive about his school). Not only would any pupil seen dropping litter be given an immediate detention, indeed Bolingbroke pupils are not allowed to take snac...

Re: Wandsworth Common litter opposite Bolingbroke Academy

My son goes to Bolingbroke and I can tell you that there would be blue murder if any pupil was seen littering the Common. The teachers at Bolingbroke could never be accused of 'scant regard' for anything - ask any of those kids - they would tell you that their teachers are all over them for everythi...

Re: How to manage taking children out of fee paying school mid- year

Just had to counter that message about Easter being a bad time to move children. When making difficult moves, nothing is ever perfect, but Easter is probably one of the best times to move schools. The number one reason being that they can start a whole school year in September without being the 'new...

Re: **BEWARE WHILST WAITING IN A CAR AT CLAPHAM JUNCTION STATION**

I read somewhere that private car parks cannot pursue you if they don't have evidence that you were the person driving the car - so that if you don't acknowledge the ticket they have no one to pursue for breach of contract as they can't prove it was specifically you. Not sure if that's an urban myth...

Advice/experience with a tricky question to do with paying for a service. We recently discovered we had a problem with a drain, and looked up a few drains companies.

Re: husband become critical of my weight

OOO that rings painfully true to me - 21 years after my first baby. My husband also made sideways comments to me about my weight post birth, and what I ate. It was so painful, and hurt so much. We weren't long married and hadn't cracked each other's communication styles, so I was simply at a loss ab...

Re: Exclusive New Year offer - FREE onsite WiFi improvement

Thanks Nappy Valley for organising this great offer. BreezeTech were really great - so thorough, calm, not selling anything, and incredibly good at explaining why we were having wifi issues.

Re: Great swimming classes for children

I couldn't agree more about Kimberley Swim Clinics. Between various children I've been going to, and watching swimming lessons - highly expensive ones, and public pool general lessons - for over a decade. The Kimberley swim clinics are in another league all together. The teachers are so skilled, so ...

Re: Bike shop for children to try different bikes?

I have just picked my serviced bike up from the Everyone Bikes on Northcote Road and have come home determined to post a positive review on here. The service from this shop is exceptional. They are knowledgable, thoughtful, and passionate about bikes. They went to truly amazing lengths to find spare...

Re: Which GP - Battersea Rise or Heritage ?

I'm also at Battersea Rise and they have been very good for me, however, I haven't had the best luck for my son's care . I don't think there are any pediatricians on staff either. For those of you who posted here, which of the Clinic doctor's do you see for your children's care? Thanks. Hi Ppasha27...

Re: Which GP - Battersea Rise or Heritage ?

We have been patients of Battersea Rise Surgery for 15 years. In that time we've had three children, innumerable of the usual minor family medical moments, and also sadly the dice of life has thrown us a couple of very serious life threatening conditions too. All the way through Battersea Rise haa b...

Hi Jill, yes I am still interested. I thought I'd tried to private message you but must have gone awry. Could I pop over sometime to see them?

Help - looking for Mohammed - so to speak!

Does anyone know where the famous Mohammed can be found now, who used to teach swimming at Tooting Leisure Centre? I rang up and they say he no longer teaches there, but I'd love to find him for my 4 year old. Best swimming teacher I've ever met!
