Dear All, just a quick reminder that dogs are still meant to be kept on their leads in the cemetery, as per the link below: unfortunately, a dog running free killed one of our neighbours' cats today, grabbing it off the cemetery wall at the end of their garden; their kids heard a commotion out the back - and found their dead pet a few minutes later when they got round there. Horrible and completely avoidable. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parks-and-open-spaces/parks/nunhead-cemetery

Not yet, unfortunately.

Thanks - have DMd you.

Thanks very much.

Thanks very much. I had no idea that was the case with Battersea. (And just to be clear, the vet didn't mention them specifically - now I know why).

Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone can help. A change in circumstances means my niece is having to move house in a couple of weeks and isn't able to take her cat Lotty with her. As such, she's looking to re-home her and is, unsurprisingly, keen that she goes to a kind and caring home. I've chatted with the Neighbourhood Vet who, besides recommending the usual places to approach (Celia Hammond, Cat Protection etc') suggested putting something up on the forum to see if anyone can recommend any other routes to explore. The situation's made more difficult by the fact that Lotty's semi-feral, due to being taken too young from her mother. We would take her ourselves but we already have four cats, which is a) plenty and b) potentially difficult, as they might not get on. Is anyone aware of any other options we could look at, or of anyone who'd make a kind and patient owner? Cheers, Pete

Thanks very much!

Hi, can anyone recommend an employment solicitor to look over a settlement agreement, please? It's a straightforward, amicable situation. Cheers, Pedro

Two people on a scooter - faces completely hidden by visors, number plate covered with a bin liner - mounted the pavement twice in quick succession on Sunday afternoon, trying to steal people's smartphones, in the area by Nunhead station. Fortunately, they were unsuccessful both times. Unfortunately, I was too slow to get any pictures. This sort of thing's prevalent in other parts of town, so it's no a surprise that it's here too. Hopefully it was an isolated incident but please remember to keep your wits about you if you're walking and using your smartphone.

And another recommendation for Nick from me. A great job done yesterday on a new garden fence. He: - sourced all the materials; - turned up when he said he would; - did the work in the time he'd committed to; - improvised really well with a tricky section of the garden; - took away all the old fencing and left the place really tidy; - communicated clearly throughout; - took great care with our cats! Very happy. You can contact him at [email protected] or 07459 276538.

Hello, can anybody recommend a solicitor who offers advice on Power of Attorney/Court of Protection with regard to Alzheimer's sufferers? We're currently dealing with a situation where the Enduring POA in place doesn't provide sufficient authority for us to take some fairly urgent decisions about our parent's welfare, and would like some legal advice on the best way to proceed. Ideally this would be local but, realistically, anywhere across Greater London would be fine. We're currently talking to the Alzheimer's Society and Age UK but it would be great if someone who's been through something similar knows of a solicitor who could advise us. I know it's a long shot but it's worth a try! Please drop me a PM if you know of anyone who could help. Cheers, Pedro

Thanks very much - we'll check them out.

Hello, We're looking to refurbish our kitchen/dining room: the usual sort of thing - opening it out at the back, bringing the sink and cooker forward etc' - can anyone recommend a firm or individual who'd be able to a) quote and b) offer some design advice (particularly around the details that you tend not to think of 'til it's too late)? Cheers, Pedro

Recommending Aneta, our cleaner for the past 12 months. She's extremely reliable, thorough and is a very pleasant person too! You can contact her on 07454 018636. Cheers, Pedro
