Pat yourself on the back all those who think two quid is nothing

I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc.

Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP.

Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍

I got ripped off for the equivalent of a couple of quid in India many years ago.  Perhaps I should have started a thread.  Fortunately I found a home on the ticket collectors thread as it was related to scams on public transport.  Thank you for reading.

🤣

We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop!

Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop?

It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later!

But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?

A bit of kindness hey folks, someone had a bag of cat litter stolen, its not the cost of the item surely, rather that someone has has the gaul to nick it. 

Someone had a bag of cat litter stolen and now appears to be threatening the person who stole it ("I know where you live, now watch" ) etc.

I'm not entirely sure kindness is warranted.

We still don't know how the cat litter came to be (apparently) unattended at the bus stop. 

Nor why the OP hasn't gone to the thief's home to get it back.

Kindness, in the way people speak to each other, some of the language has been unwarranted. 

I think the bad language started in the first post, to be fair.

Whose language are you referring to?

And who specifically do you think has been unkind, and why?

A stolen bag of cat litter is quite amusing in my view, so I'm sorry if you think we should all be taking this very seriously and accompanying the OP to the thief's house to beat him up and get the cat litter back 🙄

Someone is peed off due to a theft and wanted to vent.  I'm not sure what response they were after beyond 'there there', or put the thief in prison and throw away the key.  I've had a few thefts in the past but not felt the need to share here.  Like it or not but a thread like this is open to some mirth.

I was tempted to post after offering a good fridge free of charge on this site the person failed to turn up, and the scrap people cut the compressor and left the rest for me to take to the tip.  But I got over it.  Street WhatsApp shares stuff like this -  generally don't leave thing out in, or near the street, as some will think they are there to take.  I digress..... Looking forward to some witty comments 😁

It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
