Re: Killer Clown Incident Wimbledon Common Police Called

3 clowns were at St Joseph's College in Beaulah Hill. One pulled out a knife and threatened a teacher and terrorised year 7 boys.. One was caught but 2 got away on bikes. This nonsense has to stop.

Re: What shoes should mums wear these days?

I bought these boots from Fly London. Very comfortable and easy to slip on and off. Good if you do lots of walking. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fly-London-Wome ... ndon+shoes

Re: Alert to a Disturbing individual in SW17

I recently saw a news article about this in the Wandsworth Guardian. I have children at the school and am angry that this happened outside the school gates yet the school didn't bother to inform the parents. Lots of times I see parents drop off their children at either end of Fircroft Road and then ...

Re: Sadiq Khan MP - what are people's experiences

I too have written to him about some issues but never got a reply. I wonder if it had to do with me once telling one of his canvassers I was not a labour supporter :)

Re: Gerry McGrattan - COWBOY builder

robertGarrett81 sorry to hear of your bad experience. We too have had a nightmare with a cowboy builder and I agree with robertGarrett81, the police do nothing as they consider it a civil matter. Even when our builder did a runner an later entered into our garden and took our tools from our garage t...

Re: Letterbox changing into yet another estate agents?

I live in Tooting, and I would be grateful if our area was inundated by estate agents. What we get are lots of pound shops and betting shops.

Re: How do i get rid of mice?

Had a mouse problem but bought baits, traps, sonic repellent and that seemed to be the trick, no sight of a mouse and no droppings, or nibbles in my bananas (yes, these mice ate bananas and potatoes :shock: ) for a good 6 months. however, the other day I saw a mouse! I am curious though as I have se...

Re: Fircroft Primary School

There was a previous thread about Fircroft (pg. 7) in which a poster made some negative remarks which i commented on as being quite offensive.You are right, people make assumptions on a school without having first hand knowledge of a school. my child is at Fircroft and I can say that I am happy with...

Re: Car Mechanic wanted

I know it's not "Nappy Valley", but I go to Aldren Motors in Earlsfield, 4 Aldren Rd London SW17 0JT, 020 8946 6206. Sy is the mechanic and Glen I think runs the garage. Both are nice and friendly and honest. Their prices are also reasonable and I have never felt like I was over charged or...

Re: Fircroft Primary School

"I don't think it is a secret that Asian cultures have a lower propensity towards sport for their children and playdates and sleepovers." I take offense at this as well. It borders on racist, if you ask me. And just who told you that there is no sport at Fircroft. I do not think the head ...

My child had the morning 3 hr session and occasionally would stay on for lunch. The rates at that time (2 years ago) were 6 pounds for a 3 ...

Re: Fircroft Primary School

I know this thread is old, but I feel I need to comment on this. My children go to Fircroft and I did take offense at what Tamara said about "diversity". Yes, Fircroft has lots of non-white students, but I think that diversity is what makes it a good school. Children should learn at an ear...

Re: Fircroft School

My children go to Fircroft and I am very happy with the school. The headteacher is wonderful and it really does feel like a big family. There is also an active PTA which funds lots of wonderful things for the school such as Apple Mac's and a new playground. The diversity is one of the things I like ...
