Is the tree officer or anyone from Southwark likely to respond over the bank holiday? They probably keep office hours so it will be Tuesday at the earliest when they get this message. By which time if the birds have been abandoned it will be too late. I've taken a baby pigeon - brought in by my cat and still alive to a rescue centre in Surrey. The women has incubators and takes care of baby pigeons and injured birds. If the nest is abandoned and someone can get it down I'm happy drive the birds to the rescue centre. Or if someone else is able to drive them there the address 8 Vermont Road, Sutton, Surrey - there is an special box for the birds outside the door which you can leave them in if the woman who runs the centre is out.

ah panic over - that's saved me walking up and down Marsden in the cold with a torch @Gemmamb if the iguana you saw isn't securely attached to a lamppost with clips please get in touch!

Gemmamb If you let me know where it is I'll pick it up and look after till RSPCA can come Its so cold that its probably not moved since you last saw it. I've PM'd you my mobile. I used to keep an iguana. I don't have heat mat or uv anymore but can keep warm till RSPCA get here.

I love my smart meter. I've never exactly been a reckless leaver on of appliances but it's made much more aware of what I'm using and I'm now hooked in to keeping the numbers low. Wish I could get something for the gas meter though as that's my biggest expense.

Dennis came over yesterday and when he left we have a shower which works better, radiator reflectors, energy saving bulbs, a new water saving fitting for my garden hose and upstairs sink and a fantastic smart meter which means I've now become like my dad and turning everything off in an effort to save pennies Dennis said he's got lots of free appointments so I said I'd post on here to let people know - his number, as above, is 07960 152486

I've been cycling down this road with my daughter every school day morning for the past 3 years. It's no exaggeration to say that almost every morning there's some near miss - however this is normally not due to the coach drivers. The main problem for us are the car drivers and these are normally parents dropping children off at Alleyns, dangers include cars suddenly doing three point turns, drivers parking illegally and more unpredictably children leaping out of cars - either side - and opening doors in our path. My daughter is now 15 and I still don't feel comfortable letting her cycle to school alone. In my experience the coach drivers behave relatively responsibly when compared to the other road users.
