Well it's no wonder they're confused, they say 'caretaker', you say 'concierge'. It can lead to all sorts of misunderstandings.

I wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't started fomenting the recent unrest about that Totale company bringing in foreign workers and all that malarkey.

I'm not holding you directly responsible, of course. Not directly. Not completely.

But in future, think before you Frenchify, it can lead to faux pas.

PGC - you describe my neighbour! i had to threaten them with a 5000? fine from the council in the end.


He is beyond any doubt the most selfish person i have EVER come across. If / when he moves back in im sure it will be a suitably horrible place to live for him...

grrr (yes i tried to reason with the idiot but couldnt find a brain cell after 3 separate attempts of having the door slammed in my face..)

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
