“What's to day, my fine fellow!" said Scrooge. “Why Mister, it is Monday - no wait, it’s Tuesday, but it might be Saturday- or Sunday. But it is definitely the 27th - I think, but could be the 28th or 29th”.

genuinely think there should be some sort of rule whereby anyone moving to a place near an already existing pub/bar/club is not allowed to complain formally about it, you should have to prove that you were living there before the late night establishment opened if you want to whinge to the council
"T****s P**m, who moved into a flat next to the Mosquito Bar in Clapham High Street with his partner in March 2024, requested Lambeth council review the venue’s licence in September."

Then why move next to a bar in CLAPHAM in the first place my dude? Why?

In family law there were recent changes to the procedural rules to ‘encourage’ separating couples into mediation rather than court proceedings. Has anyone noticed any shift in people using #mediation. Our mediators at Anthony Gold have certainly seen an upturn in referrals. That’s positive right?
