You should definitely speak to the RSPCA to see if they will help - I'm sure those on here that reported she was neglected and had been living outside 24 hours a day for 'at least a couple of months' before you took her in would be happy to give bac…

When you check out dog walking services, check that they have the necessary public liability insurance - lots of people set up as dog walkers as an easy way to make extra money and don't run it as a proper business so you want to make sure they are …

The early Irish immigrants were called 'duck eggs' because so many had blue eyes. It's not used in London so much, I think more in the Midlands/North.

Well what's been nice about this topic is that we've all put our opinions and views across without it descending into the usual bun fight! It's been a really interesting discussion. I was a child when it was in everyday vocabulary, so must admit …

I agree Misscara - it's a generation thing, at one point it was considered the correct and polite thing to say and I'm sure anyone over the age of 40 will remember when it was considered so. It surprises me when people say they are offended by it's…

all sounds good, but is anyone going to actually enforce these orders do you think?
-
I use that place opposite Victoria Station too - they are really competitive.
-
Great idea Misscara. 20th doesn't work for me either, but I'll try and make whatever date you choose, especially as I haven't made it to the knitting group for absolutely ages.
-
Gosh Misscara, that's awful, and I'm disgusted that you are making such little progress in getting this investigated. Are the police going to wait until this woman seriously injures someone before they act?
-
@conformable_kate - I didn't mean to sound disapproving, but it's lovely to have you here to chat and join in

Unfortunately my sewing skills are non-existent, but I bet Miss Annie or someone else talented in that department could make some good use of them.

Old tights make good stuffing for cushions and soft toys......

I think members only too. I don't think it would discourage new members, quite the opposite - if there were posts only visible to members it would stop so many people lurking and not joining in and encourage them to register and then join in some o…

and who is going to weigh all the dogs? Is dog shit from small dogs less offensive?
-
Just an update - after complaining to the PCT I got a phone call from Dr Khan - it seems that the lady I saw was another dentist, not Dr Khan herself (I think she said her name was Sayed). She was very apologetic and said that she wanted to ensure …

Gosh it would be tragic if it were to be demolished.

My brother has the 100mb connection and says it's fast, but he rarely gets anywhere near that. I only have the 10mb connection, and as I very rarely even get 1mb, I asked Virgin to come and look at it. They gave me the new super hub, and at 10am o…

Thanks @vetski, I think my brother uses Torrance dental, so I shall try them instead, I most certainly won't go near Miss Khan again! Thanks also for the link, I shall investigate and put in a complaint if I can. I've already made a formal compla…

Another big thumbs down for the new dentist. I've just been for my check up and scale and polish. After the check up (not very thorough at all), she gave me a mirror and explained that an NHS scale and polish wouldn't remove the discolouration fro…
-
yes I'll do that if it happens again - we were going to call on Saturday night, so thought we'd wait for the next one to whizz past and try and get the number plate, or at least just make note of what type of car it was, but typically as soon as we …
-
Great idea, I shall definitely pick some up from Vagabonds if they do put some out - I shall be planting my fuschias in a few weeks time so it would be good to give them a bit of a boost.
-
ashman, I've just had some of your British asparagus and it was yummy. I think asparagus, boiled ham, new potatoes and poached eggs is one of the best meals ever invented.
-
I shall go and vote now - good luck miss annie, your work is fabulous x

What about a cat? There are plenty of rescued cats looking for homes. Cats are far more independent and less likely to eat your sofa while you're at work because they're bored!
-
I've worked for a few different dog rescues centres. Every centre I've worked for wouldn't let a dog go to home where it was going to be left all day on a regular basis. Dogs are pack animals and like company. Some dogs adapt to being left for a …

The lady on Albert Road is still camped between two parked cars - I walked along there earlier with my family and I was saying how beautiful the blossom is, and she joined in the conversation - made me jump out of my skin as I hadn't seen her! Seem…

Andy you do a fantastic job, and I think this site is a great community. I've met some lovely people here (both online and in person), and I wouldn't know about most of things going on in the area if it wasn't for this site. In the few years I've …
-
Well I think that's great news. I hope it hasn't just made them move elsewhere to do the same thing, but that it was maybe the push they needed to get some help to sort themselves out. It would be nice if that were the case.

Well I guess there are many different ways to deal with these issues, but the underlying problem is people's behaviour. In reality, it's a small minority of ignorant people ruining it for everyone else. Why should our council tax be spent on stree…
