15th - this certainly requires more detail. Please?

30. Nice to see generous width staircases have been provided at White Hart Lane station. A distinct contrast to the narrow staircases provided at Seven Sister (London End) when the Victoria Line was built.

1 - suspect many / all of those Matchbox cars were made just up the canal from DG’s local NT property.

31. The penultimate word suggests an interest in sudoku variants. Which is your favourite?

18 - Doubt that Jezza is entitled to security service protection.
23 - Baked beans: ghastly things. Utter waste of good beans.

18 - I suspect MI5 itself will rent the house next door.

31. What on earth is “sandwich sudoku”?!?!?!?

9. Actually full fat milk may be better for you than skimmed.

30. Spurs are improving their transport infrastructure, with a little help from TFL, so that Spurs supporters can, unlike those from the Arse, stay to the end of their matches. Watch the mass exodus ten minutes before the end to get on the tube!

9. Another vote for full fat

Need to reduce sugar not natural fat.

4. Teabags are the work of the devil.

Victor Vectis | 02.09.19 - 8:16 a.m. | #

5 - yes to more bacon. And not just for breakfast either.
16 - imagine finding a toilet map hidden in such an obscure leaflet. Useful though because pregnant people do need to pee more often.
23 - Brexit or not, you can never have too many tins of beans. Buy more just in case.

Katie H | 02.09.19 - 8:28 a.m. | #

2 - never before in 30 years? Astonishing. I hope DGD has visited previously, just not in your company.

Frank F | 02.09.19 - 8:52 a.m. | #

12 - East Enders are still being ripped off then. Only £6.50 at my local chippy in Elm Park.

Ken F | 02.09.19 - 9:10 a.m. | #

18. I would hope that the leader of her Majesty's opposition and member of the Privy Council would get some security protection. If the encumbant happens to be unpopular it is even more important.

27 - you surely have an external battery pack recharger? Has saved my bacon on many occasions

6: Seeing the picture reminds me of the amazing Scout centre www.lordamory.org which my 9 year old had a day at not so long ago, and presented the amazing sight of that dock being full of kids in small sailing boats, canoes etc. If you qualify you can book B&B on the ship too. It's a brilliant thing in an incongruous location and should be celebrated IMHO x

23) there is no need to panic buy ...unless other people start panic buying ...in which case panic buy ...which will make more people panic buy ...and others who didn't panic buy panic buy ...then the government will be forced to announce there no need to panic buy which will induce everyone to panic buy by which time the concerns expressed for the need to panic buy have been cancelled out by the concerns about panic buying and panic buying because of the panic buying

3: The helipad was originally there, and only used, for the convenience of Robert and Lisa Sainsbury to visit their artworks - which they did quite often. I presume now its used for various visiting bigwigs.

the Sainsbury Centre is easily my favourite art gallery. Always worth a visit.

I love these monthly round-ups. Keep them coming!

Cornish Cockney | 02.09.19 - 12:37 p.m. | #

1. I can see 5 vehicles that I had, and that my great nieces and nephews still play with.

4. Induction hobs are a great idea, but I find the controls needlessly perplexing. As for other people's kitchens, they never have a clue about the logical place to keep things!

23. No need to panic buy when one has gradually increased one's supply buffer.

27. Sometimes, I still go out and about without my phone. I guess that's weird now.

10) Optimism is an unhealthy trait for a football fan...

15) Funnily enough, that very same day I ended up hitting one of the squirrels in Hyde Park with a copy of the Evening Standard!

24) I know which of those picnics I'd rather have. Hint: It doesn't involve fluted glasses.

X-Plaistow | 02.09.19 - 3:24 p.m. | #

16) Thanks for giving us details of a very useful map. 'All information correct at July 2019' it says. The toilet facilities at South Woodford were closed permanently some months before that. Plumbing problems which can't be fixed without digging up the track...

amber | 02.09.19 - 3:36 p.m. | #

25. That looks like a potential submission to @pylonofthemonth to me.

Nails UK | 02.09.19 - 4:33 p.m. | #

22: So, BestMate isn't @Geofftech - he was in Edinburgh that day.

Sherlock | 02.09.19 - 5:08 p.m. | #

3) did you see what the reg was ?

16) toilet map also available online

27) i was told by an iPhone technician that you shouldn't leave your phone charging overnight, as it will always overcharge, and consequently wear out the battery
and yes, i agree about not trusting mobile only tickets - despite (usually) carrying a spare battery

29) I wonder if Josephine was in Portrush for the golf

8: There's actually a person called @GeorgeRawlings (single 's' mind you!) whose Twitter hasn't been active for a few years. The advertiser in concern probably fully knows that, as his Twitter name utilises double S-es.

Patrickov | 02.09.19 - 6:05 p.m. | #

27 - whatever your routine for charging a phone, you can always find an expert who will tell you that you should have done something different. I suggest doing whatever suits your lifestyle.

18. The people letting the next-to-Corbyn house obviously don't think £2,155 a month is enough to make it worth while proof-reading the listing. The first sentence sets the tone with "The house is well locate at zone 2", and the rest of it isn't much better.

Andrew | 02.09.19 - 8:54 p.m. | #

5 - Yes, more bacon (and eggs) but if you the believe the Guardian, "bacon is really killing us", so eat Naked Bacon that has no cancer causing nitrites or nitrates.

9: Why should you think you are treating yourself to full fat milk? I'd argue full fat milk is better for you than skimmed. Don't listen to advice that says reduce saturated fats. Refined carbs and sugar are the things you want to avoid.

11. What other plaques are there denoting high points of regions? Places like by the Royal Observatory, or King Henrys Mound should refer to their altitude.

14. Have wanted to do that a few times since Blue Planet II.

21. Any great loss?

toby | 03.09.19 - 8:40 a.m. | #

1. Which NT property would that be? Would love to see that fence with the cars.

Jeremy D | 04.09.19 - 12:14 p.m. | #

1. NT Sutton House
