Outreach teams go out evenings/nights helping homeless folk, you could try a search for one. Or Samaritans work all night I think?

My criteria is as follows- If you exit the bus at the front, I.E right next to the driver, it's normal to say thanks/cheers etc. On a double decker I don't say anything, but sometimes raise an arm getting off, because they will be looking so they can close the door.

If anyone has a quibble about the small shop that seems not to be taken onboard by the staff there, you could always email the hospice direct? And I have to echo Sue - the shops have been using sticker prices for months and the pencil price was from another shop! If anyone actually fancies seeing what the other side is-i.e working as a volunteer, then sign up! It can be very rewarding ;-)

I wonder if your neighbours read the forum Foxy? If so, lets hope they do something about the poor dog, or risk having a visit from animal welfare.

Noise & Nuisance Tel: 020 7525 5777 Fax: 020 7525 2378 Email: noiseandnuisance@southwa rk.gov.uk This includes dogs barking, may be an easier route than animal welfare who knows. But worth reporting.

Why do so many people sit with a cushion on their laps when they watch TV?

I keep forgetting to ask! Is there still a gathering happening in the tall flats up off Lordship Lane, (amended to say Dawson's Heights!) seeing the fireworks and greeting the new year communally?

You too, RRR! Season's Greetings all...

Copleston Centre? Closer, certainly they do tons of stuff there

Evalina Children's Hospital? http://www.evelinalondon.nhs.uk/Home.aspx

Something personalised, small but well thought out, is the key. A gift/s that reflect you know this person and what they like...

When the lions acted as a group I wanted them to succeed I'm afraid...hungry babies waiting...

It will be like the last chance to buy cheese. EVER

Don't have iPhone but since changing to EE on an android I regularly miss calls and lose signal

Maybe rename this thread then, if it no longer is going ahead?

Yes I've noticed most of my mail has a corner already open...almost like someone is checking there's no money inside?

It might be a tad late to sort this Tuffstuff, most places ask for references or background checks.

Try working in retail, we started displaying Christmas chocolates/biscuits in September. It's a deliberate ploy-people buy them early, end up eating them, then buy again! And the packaging...don't get me started! I wholeheartedly agree on a quieter, less manic atmosphere but we have no chance. The marketing departments see to that.

Oh that's sad, I know Stephen was well respected and liked amongst my ex colleagues in Southwark. Please pass on condolences if you are able.
