No, I don't know if it has been scanned. I believe somebody with knowledge of cats could offer to do this maybe? I don't think the staff at Jade will or can do this. They seem very nice but like me they don't know much about what to do and about cats in general. Please could someone offer to take the little thing to be scanned. And treated if needed? I can pay for expenses if needed.

If the cafe staff or someone visiting could call the Celia Hammond trust, they are always happy to come and visit and provide micro chipping scans/ neutering if necessary/ free veterinary treatment/ help rehoming if needed. Lovely people doing very good work.

Hey, I'm pretty certain they still do, they sent two volunteers out to check on a stray cat with a limp that was around my house a year or so ago. Microchip machine might be transportable, and they definitely know how to spot a stray vs an owned cat looking for more food!

I spoke to a female over the phone at cafe,who told me she feels this has gotten out of proportion and that they are quite happy keeping the cat there and that it is well fed. She said if someone wanted to give it a home they would have to be sure it would be a good home, she also said the cat has been there for over a year and lived out last winter. I think the cat is used to being there and is happy. The cafe do not have a problem at all and from what she said on phone, they do not need help, though appreciate the help they were given,re igloo and food. My only concern is cat hasn't been scanned or has it? As I never asked when on phone, so if someone nearby could take cat to local vets, that would be good. Only incase it is chipped and could be someone's lost cat, if no chip, from what I was told the cat is perfectly happy. There are Celia Hammond colony cats who are quite happy living out. I'd offer to take for scan however not sure when. If I take it or someone else here on forum, I'd ask vet to give a worm tablet and flea treatment whilst in there, may as well get that done! Probably only cost ?10. IF cafe hasn't or isn't doing this already. If it's lost and can find owner all well and good, if not, I'd personally leave the cat there as turtle went to check cat and said it looks healthy and happy. Celia Hammond are too busy most times to visit and as a struggling charity neutering clinic, their priority is trapping/ rescuing unneuterd cats. They are so stretched, though would check cat out etc, though would expect the cat to be taken to them. Should imagine this particular cat is neutered as would've given cafe kittens by now and most definitely cafe owners would know if uncastratrc male!, anyone up for popping in cafe and asking to pop cat to lordship lane vets?

Hi, the little cat IS VERY WELL and VERY WELL looked after by Jade's staff.

And as I also was told they at the Cafe don't wan't that much attention to the cat as it distracts their daily work routine, and I understand this fully, my advice would be to write a note to the manager there offering to help with taking the cat to vet etc etc...And IF they want this help they should call our number etc etc...

We should not pop there any more without the aim to sit and have a coffee or something.

We will make the manager and staff even more unhappy.

So lets just give our telephone numbers on a note and say that we're happy to help and if they need something they should only call us.

Would that be ok? They are trying to get on with their work routine and we don't want to be a bother.

So I've done this already, I've given them my phone number and I've asked them to call me for anything the little cat needs.

Thanks again for trying to help. And if anyone finds a good home for this creature that would be what we aimed for here.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
