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.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
