Oh, yes, down the side return too - does anyone have a number for a gardener? I did some trimming in the front garden yesterday with Mrs Bob.

Yes that?s him, the one and the same. Still 20 years in the foreign office probably meant that it took a little while to figure out the complexities and nuances of trading goods across the water from foreigners lands.


Like how the heck are you meant to know these details, if not by working in the Foreign Office. That said, Whitehall is quite a long way from Dover, I?ve read Samuel Pepys diary and it took him days to get there tbh.


So please, let?s cut Dom some slack here.

Raab has a fine tightrope to walk but he seems to have gone all in for Trump now (I think someone from the US has got in touch)

I can only assume from his comments that we would also have killed the guy if we had the opportunity, yes ?

Oh oh, Derek Mackay has now had to resign and Alex Salmond will soon be in court. Peak SNP? All downhill now?

An independent Scotland would not be run by the SNP just like UK post Brexit is not run by UKIP.


I'd expect independent Labour and Tory parties of Scotland.

For context - I didn't vote conservative recently, despite my leaver credentials on this forum. For me the question of government or leave are totally separate.


But, in anycase, after the election I was prepared to give Boris the benefit of the doubt, despite his patchy record with the truth etc. But I must say this forcing out of javid does concern me.


They wanted him to change his advisors, so really they wanted to keep him as a figurehead to show stability, but number 10 would actually make the decisions in the chancellory...


Hmmmm.......

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      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.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      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.
