@HolbornFox No, the OP (myself) is talking about the one a few doors up from Tesco on SGR. I haven't been living in London for the last few years, so I hadn't heard of Banners till you mentioned it.
Considering how many local fora have been shut down for far worse, it could have been worse, but certainly not this forum's finest hour. I hope @geog_research managed to get the results he needed and will stick around nonetheless.
The cat repellent I used only worked within the perimeter of my old garden; the cats would happily sit on our fence and come up to the fence, they just had rather a nasty surprise if they came any closer. (It was a large garden which was approximate…
You can get a wide range of cat repellents online and from garden centres. There was an excess of spare cats where I lived before, it was very entertaining to watch them hop over my fence then flee straight back over again - that stuff works!

I didn't receive a copy of the magazine either, probably due to…
Apologies for the prevarication- I've now been invited to Brighton to help out with a Jo Cox street party on Saturday, but I can aim to be back in time for this, so I'm available if you still need an MC, @krappyrubsnif.
