thank god its not just me!! my children despair of me 'getting involved" if I see wrong doing!! I have realised that if one sees a youngster doing something untoward, it is my duty as an adult to intervene. Not necessarily aggressively, but just point out that "you've dropped something darling" (for rubbish) or "be carefull sweetie" when some teenagers are being rather dangerously boisterous. Of course, one day its='s probably going to go horribly wrong and my children will have been proved right, however I am of the opinion that if children realise that people do notice, we might be able to nip some nasty behaviour in the bud. Gillandjoe I take my hat off to you - as a parent and dog owner, I applaud you and yes i would probably ended up just like you. Also, for the record, I too have humiliated myself over the childrens parking at sainsburys when I had a go at a man parking in the designated spaces, not spotting his very small wife and children in the car....... oh the shame (and they were so nice about it!!)

    • 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.
