Very shocking to see the photos and footage. Beautiful cathedral. Papers reporting that Macron has pledged to restore the cathedral and a French billionaire has pledged E100 million towards the restoration. Hopefully it will be like the Basilica at Assisi after the earthquake in 1997 and it will be restored to its former glory.

It's odd - there is definitely someone a little light-handed in that area. When I lived on Soames St a few years ago I mulched the front garden with bark chips before going on holiday and someone had meticulously removed virtually all of it from around a lot of plants by the time I returned.

Had an ebay order delivered today ... Well, the jiffy bag at least - the envelope had been cut open and the contents stolen. Peckham Sorting Office perchance?

Democracy, like society, is not static DF. To quote a Brexiteer, 'If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy' (David Davis MP, 9/11/12 during his speech 'Europe:it's time to decide'. Given the pig's ear Cameron, May and the Government have made of Brexit, the people have a right to look at Brexit again and even change their mind if they choose to.

The lack of communication and planning for something happening in a couple of weeks is appalling. They don't seem to have thought this through very well - - We are not all in one family residences, some of us in flats or houses in multiple occupation share our brown bins. - Brown bins in HMOS are often used for garden work done in the common ways rather than just private gardens - Where there are privately or social housing rented properties does the landlord pay for the brown bins? - Where a mix of rented and owner-occupied properties in a building, does each resident apply and pay for own bin (seems bound to clog the streets), share or just use the ones with stickers on? Seems bound for potential neighbour disputes. Did they even bother to canvas opinions? I had not heard anything before this thread.

Yes, do report to police. When I lived in Dollis Hill we used to have to run the gauntlet of various touts, dealers etc which was very daunting to cross and scary walking home. The local police stepped up their presence in the evenings which made such a difference.

Update on details for the march next week.

Always have some cash on me, but use debit card as well. Would hate to live in a cashless society. Only place I tap is on BA for food as they no longer take cash on board (except for charity donation), otherwise I prefer to put in my pin.

Had a few pre-recorded calls over the last week. Put phone down. Have had them in the past, but just started again.

Lavender, there's lots of good information and advice out there if you are concerned (Alzheimers Society etc.). The BBC Horizon series did a very good documentary on Alzheimers which is available on YouTube and the Mayo Clinic has interesting information on research (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alzheimers-disease/in-depth/alzheimers-treatments/art-20047780). It is more likely that you were feeing tired after a busy day. We all forget why we have gone into the kitchen/upstairs etc. I'm always doing it.
