Good luck to writers/potential writers at getting your group sorted out! I like to write alone and can't even say what my genre is, except for social realism. My 5 modest novels have all been rejected by publishers ("not commercial" was most common …

Thanks, Miss Annie. I must have a look.

Morrisons is the only place where you can buy Jonagold and small Fuji apples.

Tesco's Fish Kitekat history: £2.65-£2.89-£2.99-£2.65! The expected price drop is next door to it: Tesco's own Cuts in jelly @ 39p per tin=£2.34 for a six-pack. So best value so far, but I don't know what it was before! (A petty criminal once told m…

Marquis. Thank you.

Update on Tesco's £2.65 Kitekat, raised to £2.89. Now raised to £2.99!!! Watch this space.

Help. Please tell me in one short sentence and words of one syllable how to open a thread. I tried clicking on the star but it does not work for me. I just have a simple laptop.

Generally, I have found Tesco cheaper than the big Sainsbury's, which I find a shame, as I prefer the ethos of Sainsbury's. Ali: Are you confusing Kitekat and Kitkat?
-
To spite Tesco I went to Haringey Sainsbury's for Kitekat and found their Basic meat with jelly and fish with jelly only £2.50. Cats love it.Some items in Selby's Half Price Sale are same price as before. Ian - thanks for that info.

I have worn glasses from infancy and I have been going to Dr Lim, by clocktower in Crouch End, for at least 30 years and am very happy with his care of my eyesight and his personal interest in his patients.

Thank you, Beek. I like the idea of a solar-powered radio, and luckily I have a south-facing windowsill.
-
Thanks, Krappy - I share your sentiment. And Ian, I have made a note of the Pure Oasis rechargabe. Can you get Radio 4? (I once bought a wind-up radio as a gift for someone when I visited the "third world", but maybe we will be in it soon!)

This is a Haringey Council project, called Contact the Elderly, in which people with suitable premises offer a group (formed by the council) of isolated housebound elderly people, the chance to go to different people's houses for a Sunday afternoon …

Sorry about what happened, Dewet. Many years ago I had my shoulder bag snatched in Hornsey Road. (Unaware of the dangers of the streets, I had rashly offered to escort a nervous young lady to the end of her road!) We had a silent (yes, I also forgot…

Sugar Lounge market a great idea. Are members of the public allowed to sell any kind of foodstuffs without some kind of licence? I used to sell all sorts of home-made foods at the monthly Edison Road market in Crouch End, but the regulations tighten…

When I put nigella seed in a feeder I was delighted to see two goldfinches - first time ever, and the only time - but by the next day a squirrel had bitten through and the seed was running out. I wrote to The Nuttery, the company that makes squirrel…

Yes, it says "B" on mine. Hope you'll get your permits shortly.

I received my visitors' parking permits after two and a half weeks. The quality seems to be the same and I got an extra one as they are in batches of four.

About 40 years ago my husband and I used a dentist in Stroud Green Road, but were not too pleased with him. Someone who had lived in SG for a long time warned us that he was known as "the butcher of Stroud Green"! She recommended Mr Elder in Crouch …

Arriving in Honduras from Costa Rica, my holiday room share found a tarantula had stowed away in her case. Shock horror! Screams! One brave woman (not me!) grabbed it with a towel and dropped it in a big flower pot, but I felt ashamed to be human wh…

This is the time of year that spiders take over. I often wave a stick in front of me when going down the garden, to break the webs. (I discovered a neighbour does the same thing.) For the first time this year I saw a huge spider running across my si…

Get a cat. One of my cats brings me mice (sometimes live) and baby rats (dead) as a gift.
-
Oh, Miss Annie! Thank you. How out of touch can I get? I think that dated threads should be deleted. I never thought to look.
-
I went there on 29th at about 11am, but the big gates were closed and not a soul to be seen. Just the gentle cackling of hens.
-
I went there for a head massage but person who does it was not there.

The Consultation Officer at Haringey is now aware of all the problems I could think of regarding the new permits, as we had a long discussion. He said that Residents' Permits will automatically be renewed. The Visitors' Permits are the problem. I to…

Cookie: Exactly! In fact I have two water dishes in the house, but they seem to prefer drinking out of the pond! Pet food, like veterinary medicines is big business. I remind myself that our cats are really carnivorous infantilised tigers, so they n…

I spoke to the man in charge of this at the council and he is going to think about the problems involved. I still haven't had the letter.

Cookie: I already had some old packets of Cystemme which is the cure for women's cystitis. I diluted a packet in half a pint of warm water and when it was lukewarm, filled a 5ml pipette and got it down Mimi's throat in three squirts (giving her time…
