Today, whilst flicking through The Metro, I came-up with an idea for a thread.


It's the kind of topic you get on radio phone-ins, day in, day out and - occasionally - makes the lunchtime news, assuming no bombs have gone off somewhere important.


I mentioned it to a colleague at a business luncheon - and it transpired that he had also read the same story - not in The Metro, but in another free newspaper.


Now some of you might say that this is the kind of thread that could be started using just one or two lines. But - in an attempt to make it seem slightly more considered and thoughtful, I'm going to use a lot more than that.


So, East Dulwich.. what do you think?

Can you give me a few pointers, Axe? I think I'm sorted for a few off-the-peg 'topics' but I'm really struggling with trying to pad-out my opener in an effort to make me look a bit more serious.


Any tips? How would you do it?

What utter nonsense. This country has never been what it used to be, despite what the Daily Mail would have you believe

    • has lost a Bengal cat there was one wandering around Townley Road this morning - I'm assuming it is not the norm for this fellow to be out and about solo but I'm not a cat expert... IMG_5815.heic IMG_5819 2.heic
    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond. Here's my profile https://catinaflat.co.uk/pet-sitter/377081 Ping me a message if you need help or have any questions!
    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
