I think Moneysavingexpert.co.uk has a thread on this. If it's a private contractor you can offer something like ?10 for administrative fee and tell them to sod the rest. (only legal speak).
Sadly, Mr Connelly's body was found earlier today. He was such a lovely, kind and wise man. Thank you to all of you have have helped in the search, spread the word and for the many suggestions received on this thread and by PM. The family are very grateful for all your concern and help.
Still no news. Please keep looking everyone. Here is a link to latest plans Help find Patrick Connelly Thanks all for your help and suggestions to date.
As an aside, I loathe Facebook and Twitter - I don't get and don't want to, but have to admit that as a tool for spreading the word in an emergency, it is bloody marvellous.
Thanks Pugwash. Don't apologise; any scenario is being considered. Mr Connelly's bank card was left at home along with his bus pass and passport but it is a good idea to look at his bank withdrawals recently. The police have been marvellous and are considering everything.
The Waterloo sighting wasn't as credible as the Police first thought. Not completely ruled out, but not as reliable as first believed. Looking anywhere is worth a shot.
Thanks Liz - I will ask my daughter, she does technical stuff like that, I haven't a clue about social networking. Alas, muffins he left his freedom pass, wallet, passport etc at home. TfL is a good suggestion.
Not to my knowledge. We do not think that he could have made it that far because of his legs. But my daughter did want to check it. so maybe that would be another place to look?
Thanks Mufins78. We know that the nunhead cemetery, peckham rye, belair park, brenchly garden areas are good any local to the nunhead peckham area would be great.
Earl of Dulwich and muffins78 what a fantastic idea. if you could organise something like that it would be amazing! Please do let me know if you have any more ideas. Thank you once again to everyone
Jenny the street cleaner in Lordship Lane has leaflets and she is letting her colleagues know. Similar bods in Waterloo were wonderfully helpful. Local churches of all denominations are being so helpful. Local buses that we can catch are displaying the poster and have been stalwarts. Dial a ride we haven't thought of and will pursue. Thank you.
