I usually derive a certain amount of enjoyment from the Drawing Room. Recently unfolding events in the Pensions' thread have, however, proved to be a matter for regret.


I understand that a forumite from that thread (Undisputedtruth) has now been banned. The thread contains more than one speculative reference to the fact that he may be a previously banned user (i.e. mikecg or Atila). My concern is that, if the ground for his banning is based on such conjecture, then - I fear - that a mistake (and therefore an injustice) might have occurred. I have met the (recently) banned forumite and also know of both mikecg and Atila; and UDT is neither of those previously banned posters.


I hope I am making sense, and that I haven't misunderstood the situation.

The sheer injustice of it makes me sick to my very core. How can this terrible wrong be righted?


One can only hope that good will prevail and that any wronged parties will be allowed access to the local free internet chat forum - so that they may continue to engage in more knockabout inconsequential banter - as is surely an integral part of their human rights.

If I wanted to question the Admin's decision about some perceived 'injustice', I think I'd be more inclined to send a private message than start a whole new thread about it.


Having read their sh1t stirring posts, I'd say they got banned for being UDT rather than being linked to anyone else.

Lady Katharina is right, on hindsight, I should have aired my concerns via PM. I apologise for not thinking properly.


BTW, I'm not suggesting Admin are wrong to ban UDT (I'm sure Admin wouldn't impose a ban unless they felt they had good reason to do so), I am merely saying, that, if done on the ground of former banned poster - that they may have made a mistake. The 3 posters are 3 different people. I am 100% certain about that.


Hope you aren't offended Admin.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
