Just wondering if anyone might have seen my 87 year old mother today. She has alzheimers and went missing from her care home in Barry Road at about 3am this morning. She is 5' tall with white hair, wearing a light blue blouse, navy cardigan and black trousers. Police and bus drivers looking for her but no luck so far.


Many thanks

Marianne


Thanks so much for your kind messages - much appreciated. I am happy to say that she has just been found in Kilburn (!) and is confused but ok and on her way home. The police have been absolutely wonderful.

Thank you for your kind messages - she doesn't remember where she used to live (Westminster Bridge Road) but the police and members of the family have been driving around the area all day. She has no money and no coat and must be totally confused - I just don't understand why somebody hasn't checked to see if she is ok. Anyway, must remain hopeful, the police have been marvellous.


Once again, thanks to you and GSJ57 for your good wishes.

You really are lovely people on this thread - so caring! We now know that she got a 12 to Oxford Circus - a bus driver recalled seeing her at 5am - you would think he could have asked her if she was ok as she had no coat and was wearing slippers .... after that, she must have got on a bus at random as she has no connections with Kilburn. She has an old Freedom Pass which expired in 2006 but no photo to go with it so I can only presume that the drivers were not too fussy. We don't know what she did all day but she ended up in a Turkish cafe where they very kindly fed and watered her and called the police. I intend to thank those lovely people too!


Otta, all the doors are alarmed except one fire escape door (she would have had to walk through a long corridor and the kitchen in pitch darkness to get to it) and as she is normally very well looked after I can't be too angry with them - these things happen occasionally - I'm just grateful there was a happy ending to this very long day ...


Once again, many thanks for all your support (I got quite a few PMs too).


Best wishes

Oh thank goodness .

And thank goodness for the kind sensible Turkish cafe people .


The care home must be beside themselves - if it's the one I think it is ,they are really excellent and caring .

I bet arrangements for that fire exit to be alarmed will be in hand sharpish .

    • Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore 
    • You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.      
    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
