If this was a builder or taxi driver it is hardly front page headlines. Maybe a small section of a local newspaper. Doubtful. Remember the 'cat in the wheelie bin' woman, that story was covered extensively and she was found and prosecuted

What a story, and what a woman! Although to say she's at her wits end and also physically on her last legs is no exaggeration. Utmost respect

I think you are bending over backwards and it's time to end the friendly! Get some proper advice, keep a diary from right now, and explore action possibilities. They obviously think numbers mean strength, they are wrong.

I believe the London Wildlife Trust do regular sessions in the woods

From East Dulwich, where exactly does the bus pick up? Someone told me it wasn't outside the station!

Were you turned away in St Christophers? Last time I asked them where the music was they said they didn't sell vinyl and cds any more, I wonder why? Clothing makes more money

Done. Waiting for 2 parcels and untold post

Signed the petition, although it's low numbers still!! I ordered my daily contact lenses early because of the delays...arrived in 2 days like normal! Wonder if that's because it's plastered with 'Tracked' all over
