I agree that advertising cats for adoption on this site is a very good idea but also agree that TaraC posts every few minutes and this is over the top. She is also representing the RSPCA and I shall make them away of what is happening here. The last thing the RSPCA will want is a volunteer bringing the Society into disrepute on a public forum.

If you could find out if the cat has a chip that would be great.

I understand the chipping event is for dogs and cats and is also a free event!

I thought it was going to be a charity shop.

This is the internet for christ sake and it is a good way to expose people and make others aware. Should crimestoppers not post photographs of wanted criminals on their website?

I had a long long chat with a man based at the East Thames Buses Belvedere Depot who deals with the complaints about drivers. What I found interesting was the fact that the driver is well known at the garage for his behaviour yet nothing seems to have been done about it. For example there are numerous postings on this forum about the driver in question and his behaviour and I have made three complaints so far this year. The man I spoke to yesterday assured me that the driver in question is being dealt with but I am not holding my breath. Piglet

I am identifying the driver in question so that others can be made aware of the bully in question. You have removed his photograph so I can only presume that you do not object to his disgraceful actions.

I don't understand why the photograph of the bus driver was removed. This forum is like a police state!

I have spoken at length to various people and made numerous complaints in writing about this particular driver but nothing ever happens. Just last week he shouted from his cab to an elderly lady who refused to pass her paper travelcard to him under the hatch "I am english remember unlike you". He is a disgusting individual and I have witnessed him bully and abuse passengers on a regular basis. Today I spoke to a controller at East Thames Buses who tells me the driver is based at the Belvedere depot and his name is not Nigel. The attached photograph should help. I don't know what else can be done about this man. photo of a bus driver removed - The Administrator

My card was cloned in somerfield in west norwood twice. I emailed Somerfield and was surprised when they emailed back to say they are aware of card cloning taking place in the west norwood store and are currently liaising with the police. Card was cloned and ?200.00 cash was withdrawn in Australia.

Did anyone see Tessa on Question Time on Thursday night? I think she did an excellent job defending the olympics. I am so happy to be one of her constituents.

I bought a condom for 50p last week from a vending machine.

Nigel is always angry and grumpy. He is a bully and gets a buzz out of intimidating and bullying vulnerable passengers. There is currently an inquiry underway regarding his behaviour. Why does he have a strong bicycle chain wrapped around the door of the driver's cab? One can only suspect this is to avoid someone ripping his head off when he attempts to bully the wrong person!!

The police are still there - 2222!!!

I have had numerous battles with Royal Mail in London. Contacting Royal Mail by telephone is a disaster. The only way you will manage to get something done is if you telephone Royal Mail Head Office and ask for the Chairman or Adam Crozier's office. I have found staff in this department to be very helpful and get results.

Yes they look nice.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree that Nigel is a nice person. He is a bully and gets a kick out of intimidating passengers. Why does he have a bicycle chain tied around the door to the driver's cab? Why does he have to sound the emergency siren everytime he passes another 185 bus en route? Val Shawcross is currently investigating my complaint about this dreadful driver. He should have been sacked years ago.
