recommendations for sound insulation for Victorian converted flat

13 years ago...

This must be a common issue for residents of Surbiton, as there are so many flats in the area. We bought a victorian converted apartment in Surbiton last year and had no idea just how bad the noise insulation would be from neighbours footfall, TV, washing machine, neighbours voices etc etc. We are considering to add a suspended ceiling can anyone advise if they've had this done and if it was effective? Also can anyone recommend a company / tradesmen to do the work?
Thanks for the help!!!

St Andrews School 1950's

13 years ago...

I stumbled across this rather impenetrable site. Not intuitive for the luddite, and obviously designed by supergeek.
However, what got my attention was the mention of St Andrews School, and the period of the 1950's.
I thought that I was the only person who could remember Mrs Durant, evidently not.
She was a very kind and great teacher ( I now realise), who inadvertantly started me on the road to the Arts and Crafts, which I have been involved in all my life, and still am.
It would be nice to share other memories of the School, its teachers and pupils, during the 1950's.

Missing cat - Manor Drive

13 years ago...

My black and white cat has been missing since yesterday morning (25/10/2012) from the Manor Drive area of Surbiton. A neighbour said that a cat was hit by a car outside Christ Church primary school on Manor Drive on the same day and the school confirmed that they phoned the council. The council says that they came to the street but couldn't find the cat. The police also has no record, nor do any local vets. I can't be sure that the cat found at the school is mine so can anyone who knows anything about the cat found or has perhaps seen a black and white male cat in the area let me know?

Street markings in Tolworth

Does anybody know what all the street markings are in Tolworth high street? Is this the beginning of the re-development project? Hope so!

The lady in the post office told me it was aliens but I'm unsure. :D
