@Toddlesocks. Yes sadly your story is extremely familiar. I work largely with teenage girls. In addition to the casual violence, they contend daily with the risk and actuality of sexual assault. I am talking about girls as young as 11. There is an e…
We moved out of Stroud green after 20 years, partly because we could never afford to buy in the area unless we won the lottery. By that point my daughter was 10 and I would have been perfectly happy for her to go to a local school, as I work in educ…
Goblin line packed to point of dangerousness this morning. 3 trains before I could get on. Got crushed and am bruised. A lot of screaming and a couple of punch ups. Staff trying to control but crowds really too big.
@Miss Annie, whilst I do not wish to make any assumptions about your age, universal child benefit started in 1945 - only then it was called family allowance - so I believe your mum would have been entitled to it.
Agree with Papa L: almost impossible to get a child into a council funded nursery. My daughter was on the waiting list for an Islington nursery from a month old. I went back to work when she was 10 months old and a place did not come up in that tim…
Cats protection in archway do not put cats down unless terminally ill and suffering. Sometimes if they r completely full u have to wait but given he has been on street for long time a few more days wont be too serious
I think this is a great idea in principle and lots of people would be interested. The issue won't be lack of demand, it will be the amount of regulation and red tape you will have to deal with, not to mention Ofsted. This is one of the reasons why…
A friend of mine saw the start of this. They had a digger which smashed in the window and then just dragged loads of stuff out through it. She said there was a man there who was really upset. Regardless of whether the stuff belonged to someone li…
time to confess. Moved from SG to Walthamstow almost a year ago and love it. Continue to lurk on this forum though in the hope that I won't be cast into the outer darkness.
Did not see a single bin inside the venue. There were a couple of girls wandering around with bin bags at one point but that was it. Agree with Misscara re very few loos. We were in the middle of the crowd for The Stone Roses and there was quite …
Anecdotally, I know of one family already who are moving to Birmingham due to the cuts in Housing Benefit. The mum is a single parent who works, but on a low wage. She has 4 kids and has not been able to find another suitable property in the area …
I usually go to the MoneyShop on Seven Sisters Rd but rainbow_carnage's site is amazing. I priced up for my next trip and there was a £40 difference between the first and last!
Seriously? 10 days and you are trying to sort it out now? You have about as much chance of getting into a nursery as you have of flying to the moon if that is really your schedule. I would suggest you contact Harringey Children's Services for a lis…
I know I am going to sound like an idiot but when they changed the sign from just National Rail to Way Out, despite having lived in SG for 20 years I went the wrong way. I do think it is confusing and wouldn't be too hard to fix so I have signed
Seriously? Was the funding strategy not worked out prior to the works commencing? You want to be taken seriously as an educational resource by appealing to individuals for a £5 / £10 donation? Out of interest have you spoken to Platform who didn't…
