It's more expensive in other shops, a lot more expensive.....

Carlton Jefferson on Rye Lane.

It's horrible, but not rare. Have seen it a lot in Northcross Road, and at the old Pretty's greengrocer. You need to be extra vigilant if you have a male dog.

Oh, really?

A higher power is telling you to stop eating Weetabix.

Trying to imagine how a blind or partially sighted person copes, were they to accidentally stray onto it. I've had some close shaves there, as it's easy to forget.

Rescue places can also be looking for a safe foster home for mums and kittens. They do require their own room though...

There are quite a few rubberneckers out there, virtual and real.

Agree with d Walker.

A while back, I saw a man stab a woman in the side with a screwdriver at the HSBC cashpoint on Lordship Lane to get the money she had drawn out. He threw the screwdriver into the gutter and took off. Until then, I didn't even know that screwdrivers were used as weapons. This happened mid morning time.

You can tell if mice have been at food as you will see teeth marks, or holes in packaging. They will even bite banana skins. You need to put all your non fridge food in something like a cool chest, and some heavy duty containers.

Animal rescue places like Celia Hammond could use towels. There's also the refugee/asylum seeker place at the top of Barry Rd.

Awful. Lots of dogs will kill a cat if given a chance, especially sighthounds, some bull breeds and some terriers.

Would love to know the sugar to fruit content.

They even have tables in the Arboretum picnic area.

News said Peckham Rye stabbing was fatal.

Which park and what areas in the park are you referring to where someone told you you should be on the path and not the grass, and where a Labrador snatched food from your child?

I agree with all of this. There are a large number of idiots letting their dogs run off lead on the pavements. I regularly see people with usually more than one dog not picking up their dog's poo as they are ahead of the dogs trailing behind. I also don't see how professional dog walkers can keep track of a number of off lead dogs. They should also be charged for a business permit to walk these dogs. The survey needs to be amended.

Offer to foster a cat for a rescue place.

I'm no fan of Ludlow T. Why not just add it into the original thread?

Why start a new thread on this?

At Lidl and other supermarkets, they ask to return your trolley so they can take the pound coin.
