Yes huge problem with the cat for the first time. Indorex does the job but gave up on frontline and went to the vet. She confirmed that there is a problem with them around here.

If you have the bank code, account number and name it was cashed in, report it to the police pdq if you have not already. Make a fuss. I also have had cheques fraudulently cashed. It is an issue for the bank that permitted it to be cashed. Don't be fobbed off. I have traced my rippers off and handed the lot to the police. In the end it was looks to be a member of staff who intercepted the cheque and took it to a "friendly bank" in order to cash it. I am waiting on a prosecution. The point is, if it happened to you, it will happen to someone else - cheque interception and cashing requires many people to carry it out. It is not a solo activity if it is undertaken at a bank. Also, if it did happen at Silvester, that should be reason enough to get the police involved as this is a case of fraud as well as stealing. HMRC do not send out cheques that can be paid to cash, nor should bank staff pay out to anyone except the account payee. The nasty thing because they did manage to do this is it suggests is that someone is intercepting your financial information via the postal system. I would really check to see if you have any other issues and curious direct debits from your account - and then get all of this financial information (as far as possible) sent to you via email or electronic secure message. This is not the same as someone nicking a package, cross making as that is. One is possibly opportunistic. Cheque fraud is planned and targetted.

Well I've had more post go missing. The service here is the worst I've ever experienced in London. I've been here 18 months and had more post go missing than any other district.

You get asked if you want a bag in all sorts of places - I don't think it is anything to do with age. Otherwise everytime I buy a sandwich from Pret a Manager in town there is this dreadful implication that I'm not good enough to carry a bag from their shop when they ask? No, it's called saving money for the shop. Of course if they say "would you like a bag for your head" then you might feel legitimately offended. Also Mrs Robinson is not a young shop - its for the lady with an accommodating wallet and figure. Hence the name, no?

Brilliant

Hello, I'm due in the last week of Feb for my first one... I'd love to come along on 3rd November if that's okay with you all.

She gave her permission for what? Did she: Give her permission to have you photograph her horse (her property) Give permission for you to use the images in a calendar? Give her permission for you to put a scantily clad lady on her horse and then photograph it? If she did to all of these points, tell her to get stuffed. If she didn't know what you were going to do, I'd say she has a point and you should withdraw the images.

I try to be nice in situations like these - but the longer you don't say anything, you tend to get the most ridiculous story imaginable which makes no sense. They try and push you into it before you have time to think. I normally ask if there's anyone they can phone who can pick them up - they just get a bit aggressive after that. It's so unusual to have people ask for cash in this manner that it is always rubbish. It's not that I don't help strangers, but pushy strangers... no.

Hello, making a reappearance after my scan at Kings (24.02.12 now the new due date as I was a bit further along than I thought and how nice were they! I enjoyed ever bit of it, even if as a first timer I was a bit stunned by all the detail) - I will pop along on the 25th if there's any room left! Finally feeling less tired as I've been lying like a dead dog on the sofa for the last five weeks....

Well I find my post and my neighbours has been opened and then rather poorly sealed (believe me I have complained about this). This always happens when the regular postie is off, not when he's on. I've had so much stuff missing that I did start sending a test (nice fat looking birthday card) through the post - and behold, it never turned up! So I think there's someone with a light finger in ED, sorry to say it.

I've had my milk delivered to my doorstep for all the time I've been in East Dulwich, and had no problems. Recently however it has started to go missing/presumably stolen. Has anyone else who gets a doorstep delivery found that their milk is going missing?

millymoo, do check with them. I'm due for a scan on 17th August - the letter came after a week of booking in at the lanes.

I'm a first timer, due at the end of Feb. I have to say its all a bit strange for me as I've not had my scan yet, so I don but would definitely be up for a meet after then. Like millymoo, I'll be back in a few weeks. Congrats everyone!

Section 2 Dogs Act 1871 This is a civil complaint, although as it is heard in a Magistrates' Court, it is often (wrongly) said to be criminal. It occurs if a dog is not kept under proper control and is dangerous. Generally is dog is regarded as not being under proper control if it is neither on a lead nor muzzled. Unlike Section 3 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991: it applies regardless of where the incident takes place proceedings can only be brought against the owner a dog can show itself to be dangerous in its general behaviour, not just its behaviour towards a person a single incident is generally insufficient to prove that a dog is dangerous, unless the Court believes that the single incident is exceptional there is no presumption in favour of destruction of the dog the Police have no power to seize a dog pending proceedings the Court has no power to fine or order compensation The Court has unfettered discretion on what to do to the dog. They may order destruction of the dog but such orders are very rare. The alternative is a Control Order (with or without conditions) and the owner will probably have to pay costs.
