I've been wondering about this! There is a Facebook Group called Pickling Peckham Urban Foragers, they might help

There is a serious point about foraging. Out in Kent there may be loads of wild garlic which will be OK to take a relatively small amount. There are 'gangs' of foragers eg Epping Forest picking wild mushrooms for market and destroying eco systems.


I once found a small group picking wild rocket on the Thames past Woolwich. In Sweden we picked wild berries and chantrelle mushrooms, but low population density and lots of land, plus it is something the Swedes (and Italians, Eastern Europeans and even the French do). A bit of cultural stereotyping.....


I saw some bright red spotty mushrooms on a golf course on a walk out towards Surrey, they looked lovely and I should have tried some......

I am not getting your point about killing yourself with 🍄?

For the wild garlic i'm attempting to bring it to my gzrden but failed last year i want to try again i love wild garlic pesto.

Ang there's a difference between foraging and exploiting nature indeed...

I made a wild garlic and home made pappardelle (chunky pasta) https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/wild_garlic_langoustine_02012, as seen on Saturday Kitchen. I didn't use langoustine as don't eat animals.


First time both for the sauce and making pasta - very messy but will give it another go

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
