Don’t Leave Your Clutter To The Kids!

by Kate McLelland

61

61

If you have children, you’ve probably thought about what you might leave them when you die. Maybe your home, if you are lucky enough to own a property? Some money? Or perhaps there are much-loved family heirlooms that you’ve planned to share out between them?

Most of us are happy to make a will, setting out how we will dispose of these assets, but not enough of us stop to consider what will happen to the rest of our possessions: the bits and pieces we accumulate throughout our lives. Every item, including furniture, clothes, ornaments, framed pictures, souvenirs, books and papers – not to mention boxes of stuff that you’ve been meaning to sort out for years – will need to be picked over and subsequently sold, given away or discarded.

Almost inevitably it will be your children who are left to scale this mountain of possessions.

As well as organising your funeral and dealing with all the legal and administrative tasks that accompany a death, they will have to spend hours at your property, emptying the contents of cupboards and drawers into black plastic sacks.

44

Whose responsibility is it anyway?

When a person dies, a grant of probate is needed for the executor of the will to act on important financial matters, but there is no official framework in place to handle the disposal of household items and possessions – legally known as ‘chattels’ or ‘fittings’. While chattels may have little monetary value, they can nevertheless hold great significance for family members on an emotional level. If two or more family members can’t agree what to do with mum or dad’s possessions, it may lead to arguments and even to the break up of relationships.

How can I cut my clutter?

While it’s unreasonable to expect older people to clear out possessions that they still need and value, over time we all accumulate items that we seldom use, or even look at.

If that applies to you, start by working systematically through cupboards and drawers, making three piles – things you want to keep, things you can recycle or give to a charity shop, and items you can throw away.

Check through your clothes, eliminating anything that

hasn’t been worn in the past two years: if you haven’t put it on within that period of time, it’s unlikely you’ll ever wear it again.

Do an audit of your furniture.

Once you’ve managed to sort through your possessions, you may find that some cupboards and drawers are now half empty. If so, think about combining your remaining possessions in one place so you can eliminate at least one piece of furniture.

One way to avoid arguments after your death is to call the family together to discuss how they would like to divide up the pieces that they value. You don’t have to give those things away now – just agree who will receive each item, encouraging family members to take a photo of the pieces they will take when the time comes.

As you grow older you may need mobility aids to get around, so you’ll be glad of the extra space you have created through your de-cluttering efforts. You can also be reassured that by taking time to sort through your possessions now, you’ll be saving your family a lot of time, effort and heartache in future.

Although property remains a popular long-term investment, lending restrictions make it difficult for first-time buyers to secure a foothold on the property ladder. Furthermore, the introduction of a buy-to-let stamp duty surcharge, and reduction of mortgage interest tax relief, have made buy-to-let less lucrative.

So are there any other options that could be suitable if you’re interested in property investing?

Here are a few alternatives that might appeal, but as with any other form of investment, it’s crucial to carry out plenty of research.

Property crowdfunding involves investing in property itself, as opposed to peer-to-peer lending where you invest in the mortgages provided to buyto-let landlords and property developers. So how do these systems work?

Property equity crowdfunding Each property is held within its own limited company you purchase a share of the company and own a small part of the property along with fellow investors. After registering on a property crowdfunding website, you can search for properties of interest and then make the investment online.

• You receive a return on your investment via rental payments and also, potentially, capital gains.

• You can spread your investment across a number of

66

different properties.

• Fees include a fundraising/ finder’s fee, along with property management fees.

• A share of the profits is also deducted by the crowdfunding platform at the end of each investment term.

Peer-to-peer lending Rather than investing in the property itself, you and other investors provide the money for loans and mortgages that buy-to-let landlords and property developers use.

• Return on investment comes from interest paid on the loan.

• Platforms provide details of any payment defaults by borrowers, so you can make a more informed decision on whether to lend.

• Investments may be made over a shorter term than property crowdfunding, which is important if you don’t want to tie up your money for too long.

Direct commercial property funds You can invest in commercial property via unit trusts or openended investment companies (OEICs), but you should seek professional advice on the best investments for your particular circumstances.

Your money is combined with that of other investors and fund managers decide on the best investments. These could be solely in the UK or internationally, depending on the property fund you’ve chosen, and may be in retail, office or industrial property.

• You’ll pay a fee for the fund to be managed.

• Capital gains tax and tax on dividends received will need to be taken into account.

• You may be able to hold a property fund within a stocks and shares ISA. • You can either pay a

monthly amount or a one-off investment sum.

The concept of small investments spread over a diverse property or loan portfolio runs through these options, but what if you do want to purchase an entire property rather than use these ‘hands-off ’ alternatives?

Furnished holiday lets Buying a property as a furnished holiday let avoids some of the drawbacks of buy-to-let investment. It offers specific tax advantages and can bring a higher overall return than buy-to-let.

Holiday let mortgage providers generally require a deposit of 25%-40%. The amount they’ll lend depends on the existing rental income, or the income as estimated by an experienced local holiday letting agent.

Furnished holiday lets haven’t been affected by the clampdown on tax relief faced by buy-to-let investors. Although they require more work in terms of regular marketing, they’ve become a popular way to earn money from property. www.gov.uk/government/ publications/restricting-financecost-relief-for-individual-landlords/ restricting-finance-cost-relief-forindividual-landlords www.thetimes.co.uk/article/buy-tolet-tax-perks-are-on-the-way-out-butlandlords-dont-have-to-be-28r2qdjrd www.moneywise.co.uk/first-timeinvestor/investing/how-to-beproperty-investor-alternative-waysto-invest-property www.yourmoney.com/investing/ three-alternative-ways-investproperty/ www.zoopla.co.uk/invest/guides/ property-investment/how-to-investin-property-without-buying-ahouse/#dskrb27ElShzavC2.97 www.which.co.uk/money/investing/ how-investing-works/guides/assetclasses-explained/commercialproperty-investment-explained

A poor night’s sleep might seem like just an inconvenience.

But research has shown that insufficient or poor-quality sleep can contribute to serious health problems, including: • Weight gain and obesity.

• Weakened immunity.

• Increased risk of diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, heart attack and stroke.

• Reduced fertility and libido.

• Reduced memory, concentration and reaction times.

• Increased risk of depression, anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations and psychotic episodes.

This means it’s vital that we all get enough good quality sleep, which usually means at least seven hours. However, it’s not always easy.

The Enemies of Sleep • Burning the candle at both ends, trying to fit in relaxation and domestic duties.

• Sleep disorders: night terrors, sleep walking, sleep talking, sleep paralysis, teeth grinding, restless limb syndrome and sleep apnoea.

• Needing the toilet.

• Pain e.g. from arthritis.

• An uncomfortable mattress or pillow.

• Menstruation (pain, heavy bleeding and hormonal

8 8

• • • •

changes that affect temperature and production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin).

Snoring.

Blue light.

Smoking and alcohol.

GORD (Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) or LPR (laryngopharyngeal or ‘silent’ reflux, in which stomach acid can damage airways, causing asthma-like symptoms)

Ten Tips to Help You Sleep: 1. Stop snoring. Maintaining a healthy weight can help. Try sleeping on your side, nasal strips, sprays or mandibular adjustment devices. If these don’t work, consult your doctor, as you may be receiving a reduced oxygen supply at night.

2. Don’t go to bed hungry - but don’t eat late. Don’t eat less than two hours before bedtime. If you’re hungry in the evenings, choose something light and easily digestible. Milk can make you feel full and its tryptophan can help sleep, but it’s absorbed poorly (a carbohydrate-rich snack at the same time may help).

3. Stop smoking and eliminate evening alcohol and caffeine.

Caffeine is a stimulant and both nicotine and alcohol affect our sleep length and quality. All three can contribute to GORD and LPR. 4. Look after your body and its clock. Our bodies need exercise and daylight during the day and a more relaxed, dim environment in the evening to trigger our body

clock regulation hormones.

5. Avoid blue light two hours before bedtime. Blue light, produced by modern TVs, tablets, computers and mobiles, interferes with melatonin production. While blue light filters help, most just reduce, rather than eliminate, blue light.

6. Declutter your brain. Try writing down your worries and to-do lists before bedtime. It can be therapeutic in itself, and relieves the stress of trying to remember everything.

7. Have a night-time routine.

Choose relaxing activities like reading in the hour or two before bedtime. Try having a warm (not hot) bath with relaxing aromatherapy oils.

8. Make your bedroom a haven.

Avoid using your bedroom as a work space or dumping ground for clutter. Keep your bedroom well ventilated, not too hot or cold, and softly lit. Try blackout blinds - and earplugs if you have noisy housemates or neighbours.

Invest in a comfortable, supportive mattress and pillows.

9. Don’t lie there worrying about not sleeping. Instead, get up and do something relaxing, such as reading a magazine or doing a jigsaw, until you feel sleepy.

10. Finally, see your doctor if you have problems with hormonal changes, night time urination, mental health, GORD, LPR or pain – or if these tips don’t work. Your GP can investigate possible causes and recommend helpful treatments and lifestyle changes.

Beauty goodies to see you through the cold spell. ssegruB neraK daoR enwodsgni K 81 ZJ6 6TK ,yerruS ,notibruS 6900 4728 020 :leT 18530029070 :xaF moc.noinapmocsdnalyrreb@nerak :liamE moc.noinapmocsdnalyrreb.www :beW

If your skin is feeling dry and tight at the moment, a sheet mask could be just the ticket.

Look for one with hyaluronic acid, which helps skin to hold on to moisture and fight the signs of ageing. The skin689 Bio-Cellulose Hyaluron Face Mask contains hyaluronic acid, along with coconut extract and an amino acid complex to nourish skin. As with all sheet masks, it’s a little fiddly to use, but feels lovely and refreshing when it’s on and the end results are definitely worth it. Softer, more hydrated skin, in just 20 minutes. And at £5.90, it’s an affordable weekend treat. See www.skin689.com.

An American skincare brand has released the world’s first vegan, plant-based topical collagen formula. Algenist’s serum is designed to replace lost collagen and contains Omegarich microalgae oil. As with many things, there’s no long-term gain without short-term pain. In my case this meant that I had to contend with several large pimples breaking out in the first few days of using the serum. However, my skin soon got used to it, and did look plumper, smoother and much more refreshed after just a couple of weeks. All in all, I’m impressed.

Genius Liquid Collagen is available from www.SpaceNK.com for £90.

Central heating and icy winds don’t just wreak havoc on your skin they can also leave your hair feeling dry and lacklustre. Faith in Nature’s Seaweed & Citrus Shampoo and Conditioner include natural extracts, such as wild harvested seaweed to ‘feed’ your hair with minerals and antioxidants. As with all Faith in Nature products, they’re free from parabens and harsh ingredients, so very gentle. Suitable for all hair types, they leave your locks feeling healthier, smoother and shinier. £5.35 each from www.faithinnature.co.uk.

Sore, cracked hands can be a real pain over the colder months. Unfortunately, some hand creams can actually make the situation worse, particularly if they contain artificial perfumes.

Dermalex is a specialist skincare range aimed at sufferers of conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. The Hand Irritation Cream can help with dry, cracked skin, itching and other signs of irritation. You’ll also want to look for a gentler hand wash or soap that doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulphate, which can dry your skin and aggravate skin conditions. From £12.99, www.dermalex.co.uk.

It may be cold outside, but it won’t be long before it’s time to pack the winter woollies away for a few months. If you’ve been neglecting your nails under warm gloves, now’s the time to treat them to some TLC. Nails Inc Superfood NailKale Base Coat is enriched with kale, aloe vera, lemon, ginseng, pomegranate and grape extracts to nourish and strengthen your nails. Use it on its own for a glossy nude finish, or as a base coat for your favourite coloured polish. £15, www.nailsinc.com.

Your business or organisation can take part in the dementia friendly recognition process by joining the Dementia Action Alliance and working together to make Kingston a dementia friendly borough.

61

Your involvement in this group could benefit your organisation in many ways including: • It’s good for your business or service by enhancing your standing in the community.

Finding out about how your business/ organisation can become more Dementia Friendly has a positive effect on the reach of your service.

• Awareness raising activities available to support your staff. Your staff will feel better prepared to deal with dementia at work and in their personal lives.

• Involvement in a network of businesses and organisations that support each other to develop good practice • People with dementia and their families will feel reassured. They tell us they prefer going to local organisations where people know and understand their needs. They also say that increased awareness in the community enables them to ask for help when they need it.

• The Equalities Act 2010 says organisations and businesses should make reasonable adjustments to support people with disabilities, including dementia.

Your membership of the DAA would provide you with a page on the DAA website which would publicise your membership and the actions you took, such as raising awareness, getting your staff to become Dementia friends (and others if you chose).

There is no cost to joining the Alliance however members of Local Alliances can, should they want to, consider supporting the Alliance in kind through

12 12

meeting facilities or helping with publicity materials.

Copy the link below to give you an idea of the reach and content of this growing social movement; http://www.dementiaaction.org.uk/local_alliances The ways you could enhance your offer to people living with dementia and their carers are many. However the most obvious and simplest being;

• Agreeing to join the DAA • Adopting the Dementia Friends campaign, by arranging for all staff or members to receive this modest 50 minute information and awareness raising session.

This is delivered by a Dementia Friends Champions, like myself which is completely free of charge. I could come before you open or after you close so staff could attend or a “learn at lunchtime” session.

• Think of actions that can support the community which your business could achieve DAA Members can also search over 15,000 actions posted on the DAA website by over 4,000 other members already joined.

There are currently over 2 million people in the UK that have become Dementia friends and target is 4 million by 2020.

Working together as an alliance will enable local people with dementia and their carers to have a better quality of life.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any initial queries.

Scotty (black) and Scarlett (black and white) came into care as 12-week-old siblings as unfortunately their previous owner could no longer care for them. This beautiful pair were very scared when they first came in, however they have made tremendous progress with their fosterer, enjoy being stroked and are super playful!

As these kittens were not socialised properly in their home they are a little nervous of new experiences and because of this they have been overlooked several times.

At 11 months old they have essentially grown up in care and are desperate to find an understanding home without small children. They adore other cats and have lived with a dog.

If you feel you can give these cats the loving forever home they so desperately deserve, please call Rosemary on 01737 350307 Epsom Ewell & District Branch http://www.epsom.cats.org.uk If you cannot adopt a cat but would still like to help us please go to https://www.justgiving.com/Epsom-Cats-Protection

Caring For an Older Dog When your dog ages, it begins to slow down and generally puts on weight. It may struggle with arthritis, making it difficult to move around with ease, particularly during the colder months.

So what can you do to alleviate the symptoms of old age for your dog? Here are a few ideas that could put the spring back in their step.

Glucosamine and chondroitin Glucosamine and chondroitin supplements can aid movement by protecting your dog’s cartilage, lubricating their joints, and easing the pain

PETS

of arthritis. It may take a while to get into their system, so it needs to be taken regularly.

Individual needs vary, however, so speak to your vet, as they’ll be able to tell you the recommended dosage for your pet.

Check their diet A dog’s nutritional needs change as they age, and you may find that as they become less active, the requirement for protein reduces. If your dog doesn’t want to eat one large meal a day, you could try offering them two or three smaller meals – this might ease their digestion, and make them more comfortable at night.

Keep exercising Even though they’re slowing down, it’s important to exercise

To advertise call Karen: 020 8274 0096

regularly. This may mean having shorter, more frequent walks, rather than one long outing every day. Your pet will benefit from the fresh air and exercise, whatever the distance you walk.

Caring for an older dog isn’t difficult. You just need to adjust the routine to account for their changing needs – much like us humans. www.petplan.co.uk/pet-information/dog/ advice/arthritis/ www.willows.uk.net/general-practiceservice/looking-after-your-pet/looking-afteryour-dog/looking-after-your-senior-dog www.yourdog.co.uk/Dog-Health-andCare/caring-for-an-older-dog.html www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/ dogs/health/seniordogs

Time to Get Pruning

61

by Pippa Greenwood At this time of year the weather is often perfect for pruning and cutting back woody plants, and there’s a good chance that there are many pruning jobs that have built up over the last year and could benefit from your attention now - so take advantage of the fact that deciduous trees, shrubs, hedges and climbers are now devoid of leaves and get stuck in.

Here’s how to make sure your pruning will really benefit your plants: • If you have a relatively small expanse of hedge or are looking to roughly reshape a shrub, a good, sharp pair of shears should do the job.

Make sure they are well-oiled so that the blades move smoothly and then angle the blades to make a level trimmed surface. When you are cutting along the top of a hedge you may want to use a guide line so that you make a neat and level surface - a taut string will do. For large hedges consider using a powered hedge cutter or hedge trimmer, but make sure you are happy with the weight of the machine and can use it safely!

• When the pruning of shrubs and trees includes the removal of stems at various heights and of varying thicknesses, it is worth using some ‘loppers’. These are available in various handle lengths, while some even have telescopic handles so that you can reach up higher without having to use a ladder or platform.

They are much better at cutting through relatively thick stems than shears or secateurs and yet also allow for accurate positioning of the cut. If you are having to cut back branches above your head it is worth wearing some protective headgear, as well as goggles to protect your eyes from falling debris.

• Everybody with even just a single shrub in their garden needs a pair of secateurs and the better the quality, the better the job you can do. Secateurs can be used for the most precise pruning of smaller woody stems. Provided they are good and sharp, you can make a perfectly clean and accurate cut. Always cut to an outward-facing bud (so that the new growth

produced from that bud grows outwards). Secateurs are good for removing dead and dying stems as well as for formative pruning (where you are helping to ensure the plant grows in the direction you want it to), and for pruning to encourage flowering. If you are pruning out dead and dying material, bin it or burn it in case it carries infection.

• When it comes to pruning out or tidying up larger branches on trees and shrubs then a proper pruning saw is what you need. If you choose one with one or (better still) two lines of teeth you can produce a very accurate and clean cut with relatively little effort. If you have fruit trees to prune then this is the perfect tool for the job.

Use a sawing action for best results and again, if cutting above your head, wear protective headgear and goggles to protect your eyes.

Make the pruning cut a few millimetres from the main stem to which the branch you are removing is joined.

A cut like this will heal over much more quickly and the wound will be smaller and

less prone to fungal rotting.

you are prepared to take the risk.

• Before you get carried away, check the best pruning time for the plants you have in mind. Most hedges and many shrubs can be cut back now, but if you are after a good display of flowers make sure that you prune at the correct time or else you may end up pruning out the plant’s potential.

• Always make sure that pruning tools are really sharp. If they are in the slightest bit blunt then the job will not only take a lot more effort from you, but may also end up with the plant being damaged, as the cut made will be jagged or stems may be crushed.

• Some trees - mainly those in the Prunus family such as cherries, plums, apricots, damsons, peaches and nectarines - are very prone to a potentially fatal fungal infection known as ‘silver leaf’. This is less likely to cause problems if these trees are pruned in the summer months, so don’t prune them now unless there is no alternative and you are sure

• Create sloping cuts whenever you can so that rain and moisture runs off and does not accumulate (wetness encourages wood rotting), and cut close to but not on top of a bud as this will allow new growth without dieback. When you are using shears or large-scale trimmers you cannot do this, so always use secateurs, loppers or a saw.

• Stand back from time to time when you are pruning Rates Advertiser’s Guide and see what the overall appearance of the plant is like, and just where you are best off removing the next bit - if you are close up it is harder to see how your pruning is affecting the overall shape of the plant.

Improve your fireside décor 61

• The fireplace wall is often the focal point of the room, and can look amazing when treated as a feature wall, using either striking wallpaper or a paint colour that contrasts with, yet also complements, the colours used in the rest of the room.

• Fireplace accessories can be quite distinctive and are usually on display, so choose pieces, whether contemporary or traditional, that co-ordinate both with your room as a whole and with each other.

• Above the fireplace, add either a work of art or a mirror that is proportionate to the space. A mirror is very useful for reflecting light around the room, but don’t feel it has to be a traditional overmantel – something more contemporary may fit better with your style.

• Think about what is displayed on your mantelpiece. Photographs, candles, small ornaments and vases of flowers, collections… anything goes provided it fits. A formal, symmetrical arrangement is easy to achieve and suits a traditional room, or else something more freeform can be eye-catching and intriguing.

• Not using your fireplace? It can still be a great feature. Stack logs within it, prop up a framed picture, display a large ornament such as a shell, a piece of coral or antlers, set up a group of candles, or simply use the space for a display of flowers in a simple vase.

Refresh your fireplace, and the wall around it, with carefully chosen wallpaper or a fresh coat of paint.

Walls: Dimpse No.277 Estate Emulsion, £43.50 for 2.5l; woodwork: Wevet No.273 Estate Eggshell, £24 for 750ml; fireplace: Mole’s Breath No.276 Estate Eggshell, £24 for 750ml; all Farrow & Ball.

Perfect for kindling or newspapers, this hand-made leather bucket is made in a family co-operative in Rajasthan using natural dyes. It costs £89.95 from Decorator’s Notebook.

Every ‘real’ fire needs a tool set. In wrought iron with an antiqued finish, this trio of poker, fork and grabbers will help you get the flames going on a chilly evening. Fireside tool set, £44.50, Garden Trading.

If a rustic log basket isn’t your look, consider a minimal metal holder instead. Lodge round log carrier in steel, £57, Garden Trading.

Sturdy yet easily portable, this Scandinavian-designed fire screen is both smart and practical. Garden Trading Jutland fire screen in steel, £75, Black By Design.

A reindeer hide is just the thing for throwing down in front of the fire. This extralarge one is a natural by-product of the meat industries in Finland and Norway, and costs £170 from The French Bedroom Company.

GADGETS YOUR BELOVED WILL LOVE 61

How to choose gifts that’ll last much longer than flowers It’s that time of year again: mountains of chocolate and teddy bears in every shop, toobusy restaurants churning out tenuously-themed Valentines meals, awful romantic comedies at the cinema, supermarkets full of really horrible cards and garages licking their lips in anticipation of panicking guys who forgot to place an Interflora order. Why not show your love for your partner by giving them the gift of gadgets instead?

Let’s start with the basics: pinkified, prettified versions of ordinary things such as MP3 players or power tools are a no-no unless your partner genuinely loves pink products, and you should steer well clear of anything that could be misinterpreted no matter how clever it may be.

Leave the fitness watch (subtext: you’re fat!), the Wi-Fi scales (you’re fat!) and the cordless vacuum cleaner (I don’t think of you in a sexy way any more!) for another day.

1

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get something practical.

Quite the opposite: a thoughtful, well chosen present is much better than something useless with a love heart and a teddy bear on it. Think noise cancelling headphones for their travels (£159 for a set of BOSE QuietComfort 2, or £59.95 for in-ear ones that won’t give them headphone hair; other manufacturers such as Sony can be even cheaper) or a nicer case for their laptop.

Barbour does a particularly luxurious leather one for £249, but there are plenty of options in all kinds of fabrics ranging from the fashionable to the fully functional. Watch out for fake leather, though: “bonded leather” is synthetic leather, aka pleather.

If you’re struggling for ideas it’s always worth looking at their existing gadgets to see if they’re

20 20 20

worth upgrading or replacing.

An old Kindle is a great device, but the newest versions have much sharper screens and much better backlighting.

The mid-range Paperwhite is currently £109.99, rising to £229 for the top-end Oasis, 3 but Amazon discounts Kindles regularly so it pays to plan ahead and try to nab an early bargain. Just be careful if you’re browsing eBay or other sites for used devices: older Paperwhite models don’t have the same hi-res screen as the 2017 model, so read the specifications carefully. If the gadget itself is still current then accessories can be worth considering: for example NotOnTheHighStreet does some lovely leather Kindle cases for around £23, and iPad cases from as little as £13 to £360 for a personalised leather case that comes with power bank, travel adaptor and a Moleskin notebook. If you think that’s expensive, the RRP is even higher: £450. Once again there’s a huge range of products from various manufacturers at all kinds of prices.

Of course, there’s another kind of gadget for the one you love: what used to be described euphemistically as “marital aids”. The Amazon of that market is Britain’s LoveHoney.co.uk, which takes a cheerful and down-to-earth approach to a potentially embarrassing subject and provides straightforward advice and reviews from real people. We’re no prudes but we’d offer some well-intentioned advice: don’t order anything if you’re not sure your partner would appreciate the sentiment let alone the product, and maybe leave the most expensive and faintly frightening products for when you’re window shopping together.

Station Eleven – Emily St. John Mandel From Kirsten – child actor turned travelling thespian – to aspiring doctor Jeevan, the novel tells the individual stories of several people before, during and after a pandemic that wipes out most of the population. Gripping, beautiful and all too plausible, Station Eleven is a must for fans of Margaret Atwood, Erin Morgenstern and Suzanne Collins.

Harry Potter series – JK Rowling, illustrated by Jim Kay There can’t be many people who haven’t heard of the boy wizard by now. If you’re a fan, you might want to consider upgrading your paperbacks for the hardbacks illustrated by Jim Kay. One is being released each year, starting with The Philosopher’s Stone in 2015, so the first three are currently available to buy. Kay’s illustrations are superb and incredibly detailed. Prefer e-readers?

Check out the Kindle in Motion editions, which animate parts of the illustrations, so you can watch Harry fly through the air in hot pursuit of the golden snitch while you’re reading.

Hidden Gems We usually focus on new releases for our book reviews, but this time we’ve scoured the back catalogues for a few gems you might have missed.

The Mysterious Affair at Cuckoo Song – Frances Hardinge Cuckoo Song was first published in 2014, the year before Frances Hardinge’s Costa Award-winning novel The Lie Tree. Eleven year old Triss wakes up from an accident to find things aren’t as they were.

She can’t satisfy her immense hunger for a start; her sister is terrified of her; and even her dolls have turned against her.

Is she going mad, or is the truth even more terrifying? A thoroughly enjoyable, fantastical read, Cuckoo Song is sure to prove a hit with fans of Neil Gaiman and Angela Carter.

The Crow Road – Iain Banks The Crow Road covers some pretty big themes – love, death, religion, drugs and fractured families being just a few of them. Prentice McHoan returns home for his grandmother’s funeral and soon gets drawn into trying to solve the mystery of his Uncle Rory’s disappearance. It’s a dark, intense novel and far from an easy read, but the wit and sheer beauty of the writing could well make it one of your all-time favourites.

Why Mummy Drinks – Gill Sims Gill Sims is the author of a hugely successful Facebook blog – Peter and Jane’s Mummy. Why Mummy Drinks was released last autumn and quickly became a bestseller.

Written in diary format, it tells the story of Ellen, a 39 year old mum of two, who’s trying to balance work and children, while navigating playground politics, irritating in-laws and an ex-boyfriend. The ensuing drama is extremely funny and very relatable if you’re a parent who isn’t quite ready to hang up her dancing shoes.

Styles – Agatha Christie If last year’s hit film Murder on the Orient Express has tempted you to dip into the works of Agatha Christie, why not start with her very first novel? Published in 1920 and set during World War I, it introduces readers to the brilliant mind of Belgian refugee Hercule Poirot. The murder of a woman has everyone pointing the finger at one man. It’s down to Poirot to find out the real culprit before it’s too late. While The Mysterious Affair at Styles is not considered Christie’s finest work, there are still plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked.

For an annual fee of only £50 per household, families and individuals will be able to enjoy unlimited use of the courts, bookable in advance on the internet.

This is fantastic value and a major breakthrough for local tennis, designed to encourage everyone to take up and enjoy tennis.

The ten courts will be refurbished and maintained to the high standards of the Club’s ground staff, and an additional feature will be the availability at normal fees of some of Surbiton’s registered tennis coaches, also bookable online.

The Programme is expected to begin in the Spring, ready for the Summer season. Details from the Club on 0208 399 1594.

Meanwhile, here at Surbiton Racket and Fitness Club our Dome, which covers two of our hard courts, guarantees tennis whatever the weather.

And all our other seven hard courts are fastdraining to cater for outdoor winter play. Most are floodlit for tennis in the darker evenings.

So, as with every winter, there’s still going to be plenty of outdoor tennis at the Club.

With so many courts available throughout the year we can run extensive coaching programmes which can involve all ages from three to eighty!

We have fourteen registered tennis coaches working at the Club, and they also regularly visit fourteen local schools. Altogether our coaching programmes involve nearly a thousand pupils.

Indoors, our four state-of-the-art squash courts are all air-conditioned and heated as necessary.

Squash Night on Saturday is always wellpatronised, with good fun for all abilities. And there’s Racketball also in the squash courts.

Our Fitness Suite is a major attraction in the colder montrhs, when exercise outside is maybe less tempting! Our Suite is on two levels, and offers some of the latest equipment, from Cloud-based cardiovascular aids to resistance machines and free weights.

Alongside is our Studio, where we run regular classes in Zumba, Pilates, Yoga and Indoor Cycling.

At Surbiton we’ve always been keen on social activities. Our events are very popular and our regular Quiz and Theme Nights are often oversubscribed.

Overall we offer a unique set of facilities for our Members unmatched by any similar local Club.

Central to our activities is the Clubhouse Bar, where you can make new friends and relax with a coffee or a drink. If you fancy some cooked food, this can be ordered from our extensive Club Menu throughout the day.

The Club started here in 1881. At the time we were only the third tennis club in Britain. In time the modern Berrylands and Surbiton grew up around us. So we naturally have many close links with the Community. The new Community Parks Tennis Programme is the latest example of these links.

Approaching the red lights I pulled up next to a driver who was chatting away on their phone.

Even though the car was stationary, this is an offence that now carries 6 penalty points, a £200 fine and, if incurred in the first two years of gaining your licence, a disqualification too. (I assume this caveat was added as the statistics show that those aged 18-24 are three times more 61

Yet, a survey by Kwik-Fit revealed that an astonishing 43% of those questioned still fail to realise this. More worryingly 17% of those surveyed admitted to texting and 34% to taking calls when driving! It seems the message is slow to get through.

When the driver next to me glanced across, I motioned behind me. Their startled look and dropping of the phone said it all. Whether the police saw them on the phone I don’t know as, at that point, the traffic moved off.

On reflection I’m not sure I did the right thing was I a Good Samaritan? Or perhaps I shouldn’t have intervened, let the law take its course and a driver learn a hard lesson that using a mobile phone behind the wheel is illegal.

You decide.

Beijing Temple of Heaven

61

By Solange Hando All glistening blue and gold, the magnificent Temple of Heaven rises, almost defiantly, in modern Beijing, no longer a place of worship but still recalling the religious faith of the great emperors. It was built in the early 15th century

by Emperor Yongle, at the same time as the Forbidden City but much larger to befit a celestial abode. Come the winter solstice, the Emperor, or ‘Son of Heaven’, would venture out of his secluded palace and make his way to the temple in a most splendid procession no commoner was allowed to watch. There he prayed for guidance and good harvests, worshipping Heaven in an ancient tradition which continued to blossom for many more centuries. The complex was extended and protected by inner and outer walls.

Step through one of the gates marking the compass points and in the cool oasis of ‘Tiantan’, you are greeted by Chinese gardens, pine woods and over 90 buildings sprinkled like magic among white marble steps and balustrades. Yet nothing here is left to chance as symbolism flows everywhere, from the use of numbers - 9 representing the Emperor, to the choice of shapes - circular

30 30

for heaven, square for the earth, or colours - yellow for the Emperor, blue for the sky.

The three main groups are on a north-south axis, starting at the very top with the Temple of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Topped by a triple-eaved umbrella roof, this is a lovely circular structure, made of wood without nails. It was destroyed by lightning in 1889 but rebuilt in the original Ming style.

According to Feng Shui experts, it stands on the spot where Heaven meets Earth. Just east of the hall, the Seven Stars recall the Taishan peaks, also dedicated to Heaven worship.

From this norther point, a Sacred Way leads to the second group, the Imperial Vault of Heaven where imperial ancestors were invoked during the winter solstice. The surrounding Echo Wall carried prayers from end to end and even today the slightest whisper will travel around and amaze visitors.

To the south, you reach the awesome Circular Mound Altar, a five-metre high marble structure which makes full use of the imperial number, with 81 (9x9) stones on the 9th ring.

Balustrades were designed to amplify the sound from the

upper terrace, while in the centre the ‘Heart of Heaven’ is a round slate where animals were offered in sacrifice. After the ceremony, the Emperor would retire to the Palace of Abstinence and fast to complete his mediation between Heaven and Earth. His life depended on it. Only bountiful harvests would ensure continued respect from the Court and common people.

Standing by the sacrificial altar in the early morning, before the crowds arrive, it is easy to imagine the majestic imperial procession, the glowing costumes, the Divine Music sending shivers down your spine. But today, no one comes here for prayers or offerings, at least not openly. Visitors compete for the best photo spot while locals relax in the 273 ha public park. There are picnics in the shade, multi-coloured kites pirouetting through the air, opera singers, ballroom dancers and tai chi enthusiasts lost in a world of their own. The 500 year old cypress tree, with ‘9 dragon branches’, doesn’t seem to mind - for this is the world’s largest temple complex for sacrificial offerings to Heaven and in the words of UNESCO, a unique ‘masterpiece of architecture and landscape design.’

The Life List

but before you knew them.

Time Travel Temptations

See England win the World Cup, live - probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

When it comes to the most highly-prized magical powers, the top three are usually flight, teleporting and invisibility. But how about time-travelling?

Here are some oh-so-practical reasons for turning TARDIS! Revisit your childhood to take better care of your teeth. By gum, that’s an adventure.

Invest in a little-known company called Microsoft.

Find your house keys from two days ago. If you can remember when you lost them!

Do some antique shopping on the quiet - take a trip to France to meet Mr van Gogh and snap up some bargains.

See the family you never knew, or those you did

32 32

Go back to a simpler time of no motorways, real coffee houses and Sunday closing.

Listen to the forgotten sounds of electric milk floats, the rag and bone man, birdsong, and common courtesy.

See the Great Wall foundations of China, solve the mystery of the pyramids and find out what really happened to the Templars’ treasure.

Befriend great writers of the past and see how many cameos you can get in their works.

Prevent catastrophes such as the crazy frog ringtone, space boppers, the pet rock, clackers, and the removal of grammar from the school curriculum.

Of course, time travellers may have been amongst us for centuries and are even now doing their best to protect the environment, stop wars and reduce the prevalence of Reality TV shows. We can only hope.

And so it came to pass that twelve middle-aged workmates alighted the train at Lime Street and, rucksacks in hand, trudged towards the Adelphi.

We were standing in the lobby when Terry (marketing) unzipped his suitcase, pulled out an enormous flesh-coloured rubber suit and presented it to the groom. “Here Nige, the lads want you to wear this.”

Nigel stared at the object for less than a second. “Terry, put that away and don’t be silly.”

Now it was my turn. “Here everyone, put these on.” Twelve black t-shirts appeared - “WATCH OUT LADIES IT’S NIGEL’S STAG!”

Colin was the first to pipe up. “Err, Tom, can I have a lime and soda?”

“No. You can have a Guinness. Ken?”

“You know summat Tom? Our Nige, well he, he, loves the very, the very, the very…”

“Bones?”

Colin stopped mid-stutter and shook his head. Unfortunately, whether it was my skeleton or something else that Nigel adored would forever be unknown, because it was at this point that Colin fell backwards into a potted plant and collapsed into a drunken stupor. Then it hit us - no one had seen the groom. After a frantic search Nigel

A few of the guys pulled them on over their shirts, the material straining to cover their considerable girths.

Colin, Nigel’s brother (clearly miffed because he wasn’t the best man), objected. “I can’t wear that - it won’t go with these chinos.”

“Right, that’s £31.50 each please.”

Colin cleared his throat. “I don’t want to be picky, but I never had the soup, so technically…” Colin’s protestations came to an abrupt end when Big Larry (transport) shoved a banana fritter down the back of Colin’s shirt.

“Well, I don’t think this pavement is doing much for your piles.”

“No, marrying Val. I mean, you love your Sarah, don’t you?”

Oh goodness, now it was my turn to start the waterworks. But as for Nigel, well I began to wonder if his toes hadn’t begun to turn ever so slightly chilly...

hat does 2018 hold for our Rainbows, Brownies, Girlguides and Senior Section? Fun! Who is in charge of organising all of that Fun? It’s our amazing volunteer members. What kind of fun? I bet you are thinking campfire, singing funny songs, games, badges and you would be right, we have kept the favourites but added much more. One of our favourite badges has been “Growing up Wild in Mud” and you guessed right there was a lot of mud! Our girls have had lots of different opportunities from camps, challenges, adventures to concerts such as Girlguiding “Big Gig” at SSE Arena, Wembley, with performances from Pixie Lott, Ella Eyre, You Tubers Noodlerella and many more. You can imagine the unique atmosphere created by 10,000 girls and their leaders?

Coming up in 2018 we have “Magic and Mayhem” events across the country where Brownies will be brushing up on their Circus Skills. In January Guides will have the opportunity to have 'Fun in the Dark' enjoying challenges and playing Wide Games. We have “Sparkle and Ice” an extreme Winter camp for

members of the Senior Section, which will be cool (in many ways!)

Girlguiding research has found that 90% of 9 to 10 year-olds think that women and men have the same chance at succeeding in their jobs - but only 35% of 17 to 21 year-olds feel the same.

Camp CEO is just one example of an event Girlguiding puts on to support girls with their aspirations. #LetsGrow will be the theme for World Thinking Day, 22 February, a day when Guiding members and Girl Scouts across the word think of each other and of their commitment to international friendship and understanding. #LetsGrow invites more girls and volunteer leaders to join our incredible worldwide movement.

We have girls on our waiting lists for many of our units, we need more volunteers to help us keep units open and re-open closed units. There are all sorts of roles available and time contribution can start from 1 hour per week. Come and join the fun #LetsGrow Contact: surbitondivisionguides@ outlook.com

Making STEM Fun

by Kate Duggan kateduggan.co.uk

61

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are the fastest growing industries in the world. Even if your child doesn’t fancy a career in STEM, they will need to use elements of it throughout their working life. According to The National Science Foundation, “To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past.”

So how can you help your child to develop a real enjoyment for STEM? Science There are lots of children’s science sets available to buy, but you don’t actually need any fancy equipment to conduct simple experiments at home, such as: • Asking your child to add a few drops of oil to a glass of water. Discuss what they think will happen. Will the oil and water mix or stay separate?

• Finding four old, dull two pence coins. Soak each one in a different liquid (water, coke, vinegar and lemon juice) for a few minutes to see which liquid cleans the coin the best.

Technology Computer programming

36 36

now features in the National Curriculum and many schools offer basic coding clubs from Key Stage 2. Paul Lyons, IT Director at Ebuyer.com, explains, “Even if your child has no interest in becoming a software developer, they will benefit from skills such as problem solving and following instructions - which can be applied to other areas. Many parents may not know where to begin, but introducing educational aspects into children’s technology use at home can have a real impact on a child’s ability.”

There are lots of resources available to help your child at home. Useful websites include: • scratch.mit.edu, which lets children aged six and up learn the basics of creating games online.

• codecombat.com: while this American site is mainly aimed at teachers, you can sign up as a parent or student to access a free short course.

• www.codeclub.org.uk, which lists coding clubs for 9-13 year olds across the UK. Engineering K’Nex model building sets are a fun way to introduce engineering concepts. The K’Nex Education Introduction to Simple Machines: Levers and Pulleys Set, for example, contains more than 170

pieces, and instructions for building eight mini machines.

You can also help your child to make simple structures using household items. Straws and play dough are ideal materials for building model bridges. Or try searching www.instructables.com for instructions on making structures out of lolly sticks or toothpicks.

Maths Kjartan Poskitt, author of Murderous Maths and Ambassador for the National Young Mathematicians’ Awards 2017, says, “I always say that maths is like broccoli. You either like it or you hate it, but you have to have some because it’s good for you. If learning the tables is driving your child mad, what can you do to sauce them up? The secret is to play around with numbers and get to know them.

Here are a couple of little facts and tricks to get you started: • If you write out the digits 1 2 3 4, you can turn them into 12 = 3 x 4. You can also do this with 5 6 7 8 because 56 = 7 x 8.

• Pick any three consecutive numbers (e.g. 4, 5 and 6).

Multiply the smallest by the biggest, and then add one. (So here we get 4 x 6 = 24, then 24 + 1 = 25).

The answer is always the same as the middle number squared (5 x 5 = 25).”

Prices have fallen considerably — you can get a really fast Samsung SSD with 250GB of storage space for less than £90 — and installing them is a pretty simple DIY job you can do in about ten minutes unless it’s an iMac, which is infuriatingly fiddly and best left to your local Apple expert.

You can clone your existing drive using an app such as Super Duper on the Mac or EaseUS Todo Backup Free on PC, but always remember: if something on your computer is important to you, make sure you have backup copies just in case.

This is a great recipe for meatfree Monday - or any other day of the week!

Harissa paste is a fiery hot blend of spices from North Africa sold near the dried herbs in most large supermarkets. If unavailable, replace with 2 tsp curry paste or sun-dried tomato puree.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the onion and fry for 5 minutes until softened.

Cool for 5 minutes then place in a food processor with the carrots, harissa paste, beans, mint and breadcrumbs.

Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and process for about 30 seconds until well blended. Shape the mixture into 15 small round patties.

Cover and chill for 30 minutes.

Shallow fry the patties in hot vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper then serve with salad and dressing.

TIP Serve these patties with dark green salad leaves such as baby spinach and watercress with chunks of cooked beetroot. For a quick herb dressing, stir lemon juice and freshly chopped mint into natural yogurt and season to taste.

Whip up a classic pancake batter to celebrate Shrove Tuesday.

Simply serve the traditional way with sugar and lemon juice or try one of our extra special sweet or savoury serving ideas.

Makes 8 - Ready in 30 minutes plus standing time Ingredients: • 100g plain flour • Pinch of salt • 1 large egg • 300ml milk (or milk and water mixed) • Sunflower oil or unsalted butter, for frying 1. Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt and make a well in the centre. Add the egg and beat with a balloon whisk, gradually drawing in some of the flour.

2. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking all the time and drawing in the rest of the flour, until you have a smooth batter which is about the consistency of single cream.

3. Stand the batter for about 30 minutes to allow the starch grains in the flour to soften and expand –this will give a lighter pancake. If the batter has thickened slightly then just whisk in a splash of milk.

SWEET Choc ‘n’ nuts – spread warmed pancakes with chocolate and hazelnut spread then fold into quarters. Drizzle with warmed chocolate sauce and serve with toasted hazelnuts.

Orange cream – heat 4tbsp thin-shred marmalade with 150ml orange juice in a frying pan and simmer for a few minutes until syrupy. Fold the pancakes and add to the pan, turning to coat in the syrup. Serve topped with whipped cream or crème fraiche.

4. Heat a little sunflower oil or a knob of butter in a non-stick shallow frying pan (about 20cm diameter)until almost smoking then quickly ladle in enough of the batter to thinly cover the base of the pan, swirling the pan to give an even layer.

SAVOURY Cheese and bacon melts – add 2tsp dried Italian herbs to the pancake batter. Fill each cooked pancake with some grated Cheddar and 2 rashers crisply fried smoked bacon rashers. Fold over and pop in a hot oven for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted.

5. Cook for 1-2 minutes until small air bubbles appear in the pancake then flip it over and cook for a further minute until golden. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, serving the pancakes as they are cooked or interleaving with baking paper and keeping warm in a low oven.

Tuna parcels – place a spoonful of canned flaked tuna fish in the centre of each cooked pancake and top with some canned sweetcorn and chopped spring onion. Fold the pancakes to make parcels and enclose the filling. Serve with sweet chilli sauce.

by Kate McLelland Fancy navigating your way along a cold, muddy bog, wearing a snorkel and flippers?

If your answer is an emphatic “No!” you may be surprised to hear that there are hundreds of people – not just in Britain, but across the globe – who would be happy to take your place.

Bog snorkelling is a slippery, slimy sport popular in the UK, Australia, Ireland and Sweden, and in 2014 the travel publication Lonely Planet included it in a list of the world’s top fifty ‘must do’ activities. Competitors are required to travel two consecutive lengths along a 60 yard (55 metre) trench cut into a peat bog, completing the journey in the shortest possible time.

Conventional swimming strokes are not allowed and competitors must rely on flipper power to propel themselves forward.

Dressing for the bog Donning goggles, a snorkel and flippers is compulsory, but there are no rules when it comes to the clothes competitors wear.

This has resulted in some wonderfully eclectic costumes, with snorkellers appearing as sharks and other sea creatures as well as fairies, superheroes and spacemen. Comic wigs and hats abound – in fact there’s a prize for the ‘Best Dressed Helmet’ for people taking part in

the Triathlon, which combines bog snorkelling with bike riding and running.

Looks familiar?

Bog snorkelling’s profile received a boost last year thanks to the BBC’s Oneness campaign, which featured active community groups from across the UK. Amongst the skaters, cavers and bhangra dancers included in the campaign, you may have spotted a small gathering of snorkellers clad in fancy dress, posing on a grassy bank before plunging, fully-clothed, into the water below.

Appropriately, this short ‘ident’ was used to flag up the BBC’s comedy and light entertainment shows. It was filmed in Llanwrtyd Wells in Wales, where the World Bog Snorkelling Championships are held in August each year. This sleepy Welsh town lays claim to the title ‘The home of bog snorkelling’, as the sport was invented there in 1976, following a pub conversation between a few locals intent on finding a new tourist attraction.

And that’s not all …

Llanwrtyd Wells’ ambition to become a national hub for quirky sporting events took another step forward in 2012, with the creation of the World Alternative Games. Although the Games

To advertise call Karen: 020 8274 0096

were inspired by the London 2012 Olympics and claim to uphold the ‘Corinthian spirit’ in all their events, the activities on offer at Llanwrtyd Wells are about as far removed from the Olympic programme as it’s possible to get. As well as bog snorkelling, medals are awarded for bathtubbing, belly-flopping, worm charming, wife carrying and husband dragging. Last year’s events even included a category entitled ‘Saving Donald Trump’, which featured an inflatable version of the US president.

Although it is a relatively new ‘sport’, bog snorkelling has all the good humour and anarchic energy of other quintessentially British events such as pancake racing, tar barrel racing and cheese rolling, and just like those activities it requires a certain amount of skill and effort to compete successfully.

Bog snorkelling may not be up there with the classic Olympic sports, but it more than makes up for that in terms of the enjoyment it generates, not to mention the good causes it helps through fundraising. You can find out more about bog snorkelling and related events at worldalternativegames.co.uk.

That’s why I’ve been ramping up the pressure on the two companies involved - South Western Railway and Network Rail.

61

Regrettably, I’ve yet to be convinced improvements will happen fast enough. So I’ve decided to produce a regular email update for commuters – where you will be able to add your experiences to mine (I commute daily from Surbiton), to help me hold them to account.

If you’re interested, sign up at www.eddavey.org/ commuters.

I will focus on delays and cancellations, till they are sorted, but there’s other train issues to cover – from the proposed timetable from December 2018, to CrossRail2, from improvements to local stations to the old chestnut of re-zoning Surbiton and Kingston stations. (And strikes if and when they occur!)

Commuter update 1 – my meetings with Andy Mellors, SWR’s Chief Executive and Network Rail For now, let me update you on what SWR and Network Rail are saying – and my response.

Starting with the background and recent history.

South Western Railway (SWR) took over the franchise from South West Trains at the end of August. After the planned service disruptions caused by the major works at Waterloo, we were promised a speedy return to normal.

No such luck. September and early October saw lots of delays and cancellations – partly due to teething problems from Network Rail’s summer works, and partly due to the new franchise operator “bedding in”.

I met up with SWR in October to register concerns, but felt then some patience and understanding was needed – not least, because it wasn’t all their fault.

And there was indeed some improvement during the rest of October and most of November. Still not back to the heady days of South West Trains – never thought I’d say that. But noticeably better.

42 42

by Sir Edward Davey, M.P

yna rof seussi 4 yreve ni 1 xaM( )resitrevda eno

My patience snapped, as I waited on Surbiton and Waterloo platforms. And twice couldn’t use the trains to travel at all. And as my inbox and twitter went wild with understandably angry constituents.

In his reply to me last month, Andy Mellors, SWR CEO says: “I am sorry that we have been letting our customers down on an all too regular basis. There have been various reasons for this, with the failures of the new infrastructure in and around Waterloo adding to the more normal daily challenges of running an intensive commuter operation.”

But as commuters, we want to know what SWR and Network Rail are doing, to put this right.

Here’s what Andy Mellors said in his letter and at my meeting with him at Parliament on January 9th: SWR and Network Rail are proposing: • Investment in infrastructure condition monitoring to allow proactive interventions prior to service affecting failures • Additional infrastructure maintenance and response teams • Rolling stock reliability modifications (they mean: fixing problems with the trains and carriages) • Increasing train crew availability (they mean: managing their staff better) My response was – why aren’t you doing that already?!

SWR are proud of their new longer trains. But I made clear that while extra capacity is welcome, it makes no difference if the trains are cancelled or continually delayed!

Their train services have been so bad – and, as I write this in early January, have not improved much in the New Year – that only several months of actual massive, sustained improvement will convince me they have addressed the problem.

Till that happens, help me stay on their case, with feedback to my new email commuter newsletter you

Unfortunately, the consultation was confusing and poorly presented: the key problem was SWR’s failure to consider the commuter’s perspective. So the consultation had a series of timetables for each line, rather than a station-by-station analysis, of before and after.

The good news is, fears of significant cuts caused by the confusing consultation turn out largely not to be true. In fact, for most people there are some extra trains (though the loss of one peak hour train from New Malden remains a real concern).

Format & Design

Contact Us:

It is an A5 size booklet, stapled with colour plus black and white printed on quality paper.

The Companion will be printed on 115gsm gloss paper giving it a very high quality feel.

It will have ‘longevity’ and because of it’s size, content, look and feel it will be kept by the majority of households until the next issue arrives, thereby giving advertisers ‘immdiacy’ of access’ when their services are required.

If you have any comments for Sir Edward Davey to consider, please email him at: edward.davey.mp@parliament.uk or write to him at: Liberal Demorcrats’ Office 21 Berrylands Road KT5 8QX 16

So along with the positives, there are some negatives.

I gathered views from a range of constituents and sent in a 5 page submission to the timetable consultation which you can read at:- www.eddavey. org/response_letter_to_the_swr_consultation

2017 2018 – Lower your energy bills and add value to your home with our stylish double glazing products; windows, doors & conservatories

It is an A5 size booklet, stapled with colour plus black and white printed on quality paper.

The Companion will be printed on 115gsm gloss paper giving it a very high quality feel.

It will have ‘longevity’ and because of it’s size, content, look and feel it will be kept by the majority of households until the next issue arrives, thereby giving advertisers ‘immdiacy’ of access’ when their services are required.
