    FAO: Commuters to London

    I occasionally flirt with moving back to Sussex and commuting to London. Could change at Clapham Junction for Shepherd's Bush when the station opens next month. I think it'd just make me cry, though.

    I've still got Keith Greenfield's! I bought it for about three pounds at a charity auction of some kind.

    Your 1st Sussex CCC game ?

    Against Surrey in the championship in 1993, I think. And the first-ever Sunday game in coloured clothing the following day. In which Franklyn Stephenson became the first player to score a ton in England wearing pyjamas.

    Is a FINANCIAL incentive for kids morally WRONG ?

    It's only morally WRONG cos I never got one and I was WELL well behaved at school. You see, if he wasn't acting up in the first place, you wouldn't be THINKING about bunging him good-behaviour cash, WOULDJA? :couldhavemadeamint:

    Alex Lester and Bolenia

    I met Alex Lester at a wedding once. We have a few friends, and an employer, in common so we sometimes converse by email. He's more or less the funniest man I've ever met. Also, he lives in Hastings. Interesting fact.

    Darling doubles Inheritance tax threshold

    It's all bollocks, though. If you're a couple and you've got a half decent solicitor, you'll buy the house as "tenants in common", so you in effect have half a house each rather than one house between you. (There's more here...

    My little one has just gone to her first day at school

    The current Mrs Of Pevensey Bay is a primary school teacher (year 2) in west London and what Dave says rings pretty much true. Based on what she says (and what my dad says; he's been a teacher for 30ish years) the best advice I can offer you is ALWAYS back up what the teacher says*. That's the...

    As someone who lives in North London, I've never actually heard of a place called South London. Seriously, though, I reckon you could get a flatshare in Clapham itself for 500pcm. Problem is, it's full of wankers. A good tip if you want to save on council tax is to move to the London Borough of...

    Holiday Allowance At Work

    25 days, except I do three and a half 12-hour days a week, meaning I actually get 18 days. But then I'm not automatically allowed ANY bank holidays (even Christmas) so I get a further 9 days to compensate.
