I?ve deleted a perfectly reasonable, non offensive post about taking my dog to France.

I?ve deleted it because of the completely irrelevant comments made by Zenoria65.

This is a forum, where people ask questions to get opinion from people who may have experienced what the poster is asking.

It?s beggars belief why sometimes people feel the need to respond to posts that are in no way helpful and end up taking the focus off the original post.

Well done Zenoria65 if you achieved your goal, you have been extremely helpful - not! Suggest you crawl back under your rock unless your responses to peoples posts are going to be helpful.

In this world you rarely get thanked so well done to Clicka for starting this thread. Perhaps others could pass on their thanks to those who have done them favours. I always like the thank you to the anonymous hero on Saturday Morning, Radio 4.


Alternatively if you don't like a posting as it is unhelpful or irrelevant you may choose to ignore it. Many threads on this forum are 'clever' and/or unnecessary. That's the nature of social media.

People can be irritating at times on this forum going off thread and it can be a tad annoying. I usually check their previous posts to see if they are trolling. But of course we shouldn't feed trolls. And also Clicka, title your thread better as it comes over a bit sarcy/passive aggressive (I say in a patronising way.....). (Brackets are self deprecation)

    • 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.          
    • 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.
