Just getting out of my car and was asked by a man carrying a packet of cat food in Upland Rd who looking for his cat with a bent tail, could he look in the back garden, said he lived down the road. I recommended he post on the forum, he then said he had only just lost the cat and walked off. The story seemed a little strange to me!
I met him too. I think he's genuine. He didn't ask to come into my garden, just asked me - and my neighbour - to have a look. His garden is at the back of ours, so it seemed reasonable to think the cat might have strayed over to our side. Hope he finds him. Apparently he's a grey burmese with - yes - a bent tail.
We were in a similar situation last week and the kindness of neighbours at the back of us allowed us to quickly locate our lost cat and after much persuasion return him home. People went out of their way to help and we were warmed by the generosity of spirit people demonstrated. Restored our faith in human nature - a big thank you to those who let us look in their gardens.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
