Review of Ruby Grand

"To surmise, cool funky bar perfect for after shopping / pre cinema drinks and meeting large groups of friends but needs to raise its game in the kitchen if it is to compete with nearby eateries." Emma Brophy Am kind of assuming that Emma means 'summarise', rather than surmise, which sounds a bit vague really....

Bikes in Ravenscourt Park

Did anyone see any advance advertising regarding the start of the Hovis Freewheel ride starting in Ravenscourt Park on Sunday morning?   First I knew was seeing all the barriers and loos there on Saturday.   Had to ask one of the marshalls what it was all about.Surely they could have advertised it locally so more locals could get up early on Sunday and watch the bikes roar off.

Everington Rd

Help needed. I can usually be found on the TW8 forum, but I have just looked on the map and seen that this question perhaps should be in the Hammersmith forum.My name is Joan and I am from Australia. I am currently researching my ancestors. My question is. British Ancestors gave me the address of 79 Everington Street, Fulham. By the way this is from 1892. When I went to Google Earth the search accepted the house and street name but when found it gave the address as Hammersmith, Greater London. Could someone confirm this is the same address. Joan from Australia.

Experiencing problems on a domestic building project?  C4 documentary wants to hear from you...

I am an Assistant Producer working for betty, an independent TV production company that specialises in people-based documentary films and series’. We are currently making a three part documentary series for Channel 4 about the working relationship between builders and their clients and are looking for people who might be interested in getting involved with the filming process.We are looking for homeowners & builders in the Greater London area who have run into problems on a domestic building project and need some help to get it back on track. We will offer the services (for free) of a leading industry expert to work with the homeowners and the builders to help resolve any problems.  The programme is a great opportunity to reach an amicable solution that gets everything running smoothly again for all concerned. The first two episodes reached an agreeable solution for both parties and I am confident that we can do the same for those involved in our final episode. My initial aim is to have an informal chat with the homeowners to determine whether or not the project meets the criteria of the documentary and I will then work on contacting the builder to explain the premise of the series.  Again we have managed to achieve this with our first two episodes and barring disaster we should be able to make it work the third time around.  The filming period is likely to last 2-3 weeks with our industry expert, Jeff Howell, spending 2 days each week at the building location.  Please do get in touch for an informal chat should the above apply to you or alternatively please pass on my contact details to anyone currently experiencing difficulties.  Best wishesFiona Wilson0207 907 0869 / fiona.wilson@betty.co.uk

Annoying colleagues telling you what to eat

Hi thereI'm a local journalist and I'm writing an article for a national newspaper on coworkers who offend by telling people what they should and shouldn't be eating at work, and commenting on their eating habits.I'm interested to hear people's views on the subject - whether you're being annoyed/have in the past been annoyed by a person like this, of happen to be such a person yourself.

Goldhawk Road revisited!  Australian cricketers played there in 1868!

It was a big surprise recently when searching through some old cricket handbooks published by Turnham Green Cricket Club in the 1940's/1950.. to read that the first ever Australian touring side...played a game against TGCC at a sports ground in Goldhawk Road in 1868!At that time Goldhawk Road was called New Road..and there was a "Queens  sports ground" there somewhere.Big surprise last night too, when I discovered an old map in cyberspace..showing....New Road.!!I'll post these documents tonight..when I finish work.But what a good pub question! Where did the Aussies play cricket in this locality! By the way the team was called "Australian Blacks" according to the scorecard!!
