the amount of energy needed to start up a computer, log in and begin typing up another lost cat post may be the most important thing you will ever do - but have you ever thought about the energy wasted in doing this ?


Why bother starting a new thread every time mr socks doesnt appear for a few days. Why not just use the one you started last time and just bump it up and update the details where needed.

That could be seen as an insensitive comment. For all we know, Woorot was once a frolicksome schoolgirl who dreamt of nothing more than founding a cat sanctuary on a mediterranean island, like all her classmates. But if life after St Borgia's was harsher to Woodrot than for Bunty or Tiggy or Mo, as seems likely, then it's possible she may have been forced to explore a career under a famous Sussex healer, a career that might have, for reasons we need not go into, gracelessly expired during the Summer of Love. Following which, she might well have discovered other talents in pest control before celebrating her dotage in a bedsit on the Peckham Borders, with only Dubonnet and The Mortifier - both a tool of a trade and a memento of a tragic teatime - to fend off the haunting reminiscences and sordidly persistent regrets.


None of us are perfect, and we all, from time to time, dream the unspeakable dream. But there are worse things than that, and a little kindness and consideration wouldn't go amiss.

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
